This story isn’t really funny. I’m glad Subaru caught it and quickly fixed it.
I’m posting this story because Slashdot comments make me laugh. Scroll down to the bottom of the article to find the comments.

Why Marvel is Better at Making Movies…
…than DC Comics.
Ben Affleck is hanging up the cape, according to a report that the actor is leaving the Batman franchise.
via New York post
Affleck’s exit comes on the heels of another departure from the DC universe, according to The Hollywood Reporter, which claims Henry Cavill will no longer be Superman.
Changing actors so often has become tiresome for movie goers. I just got used to these characters being portrayed by these actors. DC can’t even have the same actor that works on a television show play in their movies. Look at The Flash for example — played by two different actors in two very different ways. Grant Gustin’s television version isn’t the same as Ezra Miller’s version in Justice League.

INTJ Personality Types
I did not know this was a thing. I see some of myself in this personality type and also some co-workers, past and present.
INTJ’s are one of the most rarest personality types and form only 2% of the population. Here is a brief overview of the characteristics:
via Life Hacker
(I)ntroversion – They focus their attention inward and get their energy from having time alone
i(N)tuition– They rely on the information they get from within themselves. As a result, they tend to focus more on ideas and concepts rather than facts and details.
(T)hinking – They prefer to make their decisions based on their own logical reasoning and analysis rather than their own emotions.
(J)udgement – They orient themselves to the external world through planning and organization rather than going with the flow and having sponinaeity.

Apple Announcements
Apple will be announcing new things today. I’ve tried to avoid other folks expectations and guesses because I want Apple to tell me what they are doing and not some scrub on a fan boy website.
Phil Schiller (Apple) has said that when leaks occur it really hurts the design team and steals their thunder in a rather unjust manner.
If I worked on something for over a year then I’d want to be the one who announces it. Not some hack who is trying to get click bait.
Looking at you Apple Insider. No. I’m not posting a link so you can get even more click bait.
Ancient Mystery Revealed
A woman's bare breasts calms an angry sea". This is why many vessels have a figure of a woman on the bow of the ship. It was believed that a woman’s bare breasts would “shame” the stormy seas into calm. Alas, the ancient power of female nudity. pic.twitter.com/ndzyPDFqY4
