Published Tue, 17 Dec 2024 00:43:55 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- A little less rain and little more warmth expected today compared to the gray weather that took hold of most of the area yesterday.Morning clouds and pockets of drizzle will thin some by midday allowing for a little more sunshine to peek through this afternoon. High temperatures will return to the 80s with noticeable winds gusting 20-25 mph.Tomorrow will look and feel about the same - morning clouds with a few pockets of drizzle, afternoon sunshine and 80s.Timing of our next cold front looks to get pushed a little later into the morning Friday, meaning less of a threat overnight but more impacts to Friday's morning commute.A cold front will move southeast across the area beginning just before sunrise Friday and continuing through early afternoon. A few isolated strong to severe storms are possible - mainly in the Hill Country - in the early morning hours on Friday.Overall, rainfall totals look minimal with most of us not favored to see more than a quarter of an inch...

Recently, my husband started being more secretive with his phone and occasionally giggling, smiling, and smirking while writing a message. I felt a little worried, only to discover he's been sending flirty messages to chatGPT, an artificial intelligence. He insists that it's okay because it's not a real person, but I'm still uncomfortable with it. What should I do? Would this bother you? ThanksAlexisI knew eventually that AI app was going to get someone in trouble. I think it's kind of funny that he's flirting with a computer.

Ask Amy: Widow is caught in a “parent trap”

Published Tue, 17 Dec 2024 00:43:55 GMT

Dear Amy: I have never seen a question like this in any advice column.I am a widow, and have been dating a widower for approximately six years.We have a very happy relationship. We have helped each other tremendously over the years to heal from our losses.The issue is my boyfriend’s daughter, “Marcia.” She is a 34-year-old nurse (I am also a nurse) and she has had a difficult time moving forward after the loss of her mother seven years ago.I believe grief counseling would help her a lot, but I’m not sure she ever went.She will not accept our relationship. I am invisible to her. She refuses to believe her father can find happiness with anyone other than her mother, and has verbalized this to others.She told her father that she felt I was “replacing” her mother.I wonder if seeing her father happy is a problem for her. (My children love him and are so glad to see me happy again.)She has a very immature demeanor and has gotten pretty much whatever she wanted since she was very you...

French government survives no-confidence motion

Published Tue, 17 Dec 2024 00:43:55 GMT

President Emmanuel Macron’s government narrowly survived a motion of no confidence in the National Assembly Monday (20 March). The lower house was unable to block a highly unpopular reform to the pension system.A tripartisan, no confidence motion was supported by 278 MPs. It was submitted by a centrist party, and other parties. This vote is nine short of the 287 required for it to succeed.The far-right National Rally (RN) had a second motion of no confidence that was defeated by other opposition parties.A no-confidence vote would have defeated the government and ended the legislation that raised the retirement age two years to 64.Macron will feel relieved by the outcome, but there are still significant headwinds.One, his failure to get enough support from parliament to vote on his pension reform has hampered his reformist agenda. It also weakens his leadership.Analysts at Barclays said that the government would not be removed, but it would be "significantly weakened." However, socia...

“I thought I had a serious problem today,” a club player told me. “We were running late for the afternoon duplicate. My wife dashed in from Target and grabbed something from the fridge for lunch. She mistakenly gobbled down some leftover cat food.“She seemed okay, but on the second round she started licking her dress, and then she booted this 3NT. East won the first heart with the king and returned a heart. My wife took the queen and cashed the A-K of diamonds.“When East discarded, my wife tried the A-K and a third spade.

The Many Lives and Deaths of Iraq, as Witnessed by Ghaith Abdul-Ahad

Published Tue, 17 Dec 2024 00:43:55 GMT

Amidst massive protests around the United States and the world, on March 19, 2003, the U.S. began its invasion of Iraq. This week on Intercepted, Jeremy Scahill, Murtaza Hussain, and Iraqi journalist Ghaith Abdul-Ahad discuss the long-lasting impact of the war on Iraq and its people. Throughout the 20 years since the invasion, Iraq was torn to shreds by a gratuitous American occupation and a U.S.-fueled sectarian civil war. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians died as U.S. policy gave rise to Al Qaeda — and ultimately the Islamic State in Iraq.While many commemorations of this bloody anniversary focus on the 2003 invasion, the plans to destroy Iraq were launched much earlier and were supported by Democrats and Republicans alike. Scahill, Hussain, and Abdul-Ahad discuss life under Saddam Hussein, the lead-up to the U.S. invasion, the brutality of the occupation, and the systematic refusal to bring any accountability for those responsible.“Of course, the Iraqis could not believe t...
