A moose attacks a woman and her dog

A slightly scary scene occurred on the Alaskan side, when a woman named Tracy Hansen, who was walking peacefully accompanied by her dog Gunnar in the evening, was hit directly in the head by a moose’s paw.

This scene from Anchorage was captured by Kate Timmons and in all likelihood, Hansen was certain she was hit by a bike…but it was more like a “moose”.

“I thought someone wasn’t paying attention and hit me with a bike or something. I put my hands to my head and thought, I’m bleeding,” said the moose victim.

Before the moose made its move, Timmons, who was in the car with her husband and children, sped up to warn Hansen, who could not see the scene behind her.

The warning didn’t reach the walker’s ears at the right time, however, as the moose’s front pawscan be seen hitting her head.

In the end, the Timmons family came to Hansen’s (and her pooch’s) aid, and she escaped with a few stitches, bruises and a headache.

Nothing too serious to prevent her from continuing her walks with her dog, we hope.

This watch from the ’70s is buzzing on TikTok

An entry-level Swiss watch is a hit on TikTok, giving it a second life.

The Tissot PRX, an understated watch from the 1970s that was relaunched last year by the Le Locle, Switzerland-based manufacturer, has become an unexpected viral hit on social media.

The Tissot PRX, a watch priced at just over $800, first appeared on the market in 1978. Since then, the elegant model offered in blue, green, silver, black (the cheapest) or the soon-to-be-commissioned Tiffany mint green, has become a massive success, garnering praise on blogs before exploding on a whole platform that didn’t exist at its birth: TikTok.

The PRX is one of the first watches mentioned when people are looking for the best automatic watch under $1,000. For watch enthusiasts intrigued by ingenious movements and complications, but who don’t want to sell their car to get it, the PRX is an affordable alternative that ticks all the boxes.

Sure, there’s the signature integrated bracelet and sleek dial, but its biggest selling point might be the long power reserve, a term that refers to how long a watch can keep time after its internal spring mechanism has been fully wound. The automatic version of the PRX has a power reserve of up to 80 hours, nearly double what the competition offers.

Perhaps the PRX’s only flaw is its size. The PRX automatic is only available in 40mm.

But, if discussions are to be believed, Tissot is well aware of the demand: a 35mm automatic PRX, a size in which its quartz counterpart is already available as the QTZ, is reportedly on the way!

Twitter is still laying off a lot of staff

The New York Times announced that the company Twitter has once again fired staff, and this time, it’s no less than 10% of the workforce that was let go.

This massive cutback at Twitter continues, after 200 cuts recently made by Elon Musk’s company.

The number of employees of the business is now less than 2000.

This time around, the cuts affected product managers, data scientists and engineers working on machine learning and site reliability.

In addition to this cut, the team in charge of the monetization infrastructure went from 30 to eight employees, again according to the report.

A package full of drugs found on his clothesline

Imagine for a moment finding a strange package from organized crime hanging on your clothesline while walking outside on a summer morning with a coffee in hand!

This type of scene is not a common occurrence, but a man living north of Montreal was stunned to find a package filled with cannabis, hashish, tobacco, a knife and cell phones, all worth $45,000.

According to information obtained by Radio-Canada, the merchandise was headed, with the help of a drone, to the Bordeaux prison (a Montreal Detention Facility).

It should be noted that the family of the resident in question, who wishes to remain anonymous, lives approximately four kilometers from the detention facility. The family was stunned to see this seven-metre long, tightly sealed serpentine object in their backyard.

The Montreal police rushed to the scene to ensure that the package quickly left a destination that was not its own.

According to the information available at this time, this package was destined for the window of one of the cells in the Bordeaux prison. This serpentine shape fits well in the backstage of a prison.

Note that no less than 300 complaints per year from residents who are disturbed by the noise of the many drones in the sky are filed.

Snoking weed could lead to a heart attack

According to a study from Dr. Ishan Paranjpe, from Stanford University, smoking too much cannabis would increase the risk of heart disease (coronary heart disease).

This is a crucial warning to those who smoke a lot of cannabis, a habit that increases the risk of a “silent killer” by 30%, it seems.

This drug, which is classified in the B category , can develop more early deadly diseases versus humans who do not smoke any.

The study in question was done on 175,000 adults in the U.S., while doctors were monitoring them medically very strictly and tightly.

Note that coronary heartdisease causes chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue and can lead to a heart attack.

Cannabis smokers will need to be vigilant.

Too “woke”, ChatGPT? Elon Musk wants a new AI!

Elon Musk wants to get back into artificial intelligence, and his goal is to develop a robot that will rival ChatGPT from OpenAI, which has become “woke”, according to the words of the richest man on the planet.

According to The Information, the Tesla CEO has been talking to some researchers, including Igor Babuschkin, who has just deserted the AI DeepMind unit of Alphabet.

All indications are that Musk’s next project is to create a chatbot with “fewer voice restrictions” in order to integrate it with the Twitter platform, Musk’s latest baby.

Remember that Musk is one of the founders of OpenAI the research lab where ChatGPT was designed, and that he cut ties with this company, ending up strongly criticizing it recently.

It’s not just Twitter that wants to develop a chatbot, as Musk’s comments came shortly after Snapchat announced its desire to roll out its own chatbot.

Musk’s ultimate goal remains to create a less restrictive chatbot, which would allow the bot to tell jokes in the style of Dave Chappelle!

“Quarterback”: A Netflix series with Patrick Mahomes

Netflix’s upcoming sports series will feature three NFL quarterbacks, Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota. Of course, Pat Mahomes will be the big star of this documentary, which will feature three different stories.

NFL Films has agreed to partner with Netflix to produce “Quarterback”, a series that will highlight the different stories on and off the field of three QBs in the NFL.

https://twitter.com/nypostsports/status/1628726652082569220

Mahomes will certainly be the most prominent “character” because of his status, his two Super Bowl in four years and his two MVP awards, the last one just recently.

The Chiefs quarterback is also the father of two children (Sterling Skye and Patrick “Bronze” Lavon) and the husband of Brittany, who has been growing up with him in the media since the beginning of his NFL career.

Cousins, on the other hand, is one of the most controversial players in the league, which should make for an interesting show for those who watch this series.

And in the case of Mariota, who is 29 years old, he is certainly the most enigmatic player in the league, making him the perfect individual to complete the trio.

A police officer got the fright of his life

A police officer came close to being hit by a semi-truck that lost control of his vehicle on Interstate 80 in Wyoming.

The officer was in the middle of an intervention, out of his vehicle, and managed to quickly pull over to avoid a certain hit by the drifting truck.

The images are breathtaking!

According to the authorities’ report, the driver of the truck tried to avoid vehicles driving at a reduced speed, while the truck did not slow down on a snow-covered road.

The road conditions were far from perfect, and the driver did not adapt his driving to them, certainly infuriating the police officer involved in what could have been a dramatic scenario.
