Why Does Canada Keep Leaving Whiskey on This Remote Island?

Octopi, Platypi, Walri, Oh My!
I share your frustration, but have an answer: Yes, Brontosauroi (ha) are real again. It was rectified a few years ago. The Apatosaurus thing only lasted 3 or so years. Go figure!

Hang on, wait... are Brontosaurusesesess a thing again?
I thought they had decided they were just Apatosaurus, but apparently there is now some debate again.
Personally, I am sticking with Brontosaurus, because anything called "thunder lizard" is freakin' awesome.

Hahahaha!! Mustache-douche?!? Oh geezus, I am dying over here!! I can see if I could re- purpose the footage for a Don't be a Mustache-Douche PSA. You have already given me one hell of a tagline. Now every time I see a gent with a stache, I will hear your words in Sam Watersons voice saying, "Mustaches: They're just not worth it."

The Tyler Tabor Story
Please pass legislation that forbids for-profit companies from supplying life-saving services.
You could also force every employee of a corporation to watch their own company's advertising schtick to understand what is expected of them by their clients.
Such a massive, apathetic disconnect there.

Pixar created its most complex character for 'Finding Dory'
I just know/work with the tech intimately, and I'm showing my aversion to PR videos. Their claim is *technically* true insofar as they had to write the software to do it the way they wanted to, because that's how they do things (and well; zero criticism of Pixar here). It certainly would have been more technically challenging to animate it with the tools of 2003, but whoever said it wasn't possible for technical limitations works for marketing, not art or animation.
Why do you say that's not true? I'm guessing they mean one of two things, both of which are plausible:
1: the hardware wasn't fast enough, i.e. it wasn't possible to render Hank in a reasonable timeframe. Remember, GPUs in particular are several orders of magnitude faster now than they were in 2003.
2: the software wasn't written. Almost certainly true, but not exactly accurate to say that it "wasn't possible with the technology".

"Pixar says Hank the Octopus wasn't possible with the technology available 13 years ago for "Finding Nemo.""
Well... not really true, but it is quite good! I laughed out loud at the kitten poster gag.

21 Jobs Your Guidance Counselor Didn't Mention - mentalfloss
I get the impression things aren't much different today, which is a shame on a level I won't even get into here, but I really wonder how career guidance differs now compared to the pre-internet era.
