Something up with MatchMaking?
Feels like matchmaking has been very strange these last couple of weeks. I'm in archon 3 and I've run into a lot of players that just don't feel like they should be in Archon. I'm talking people dying multiple times to Blood seeker ult, people tping to a tower they died not that long ago, alone.
I was stuck at crusader for a while, bouncing between crusader 4 and crusader 1, and now im at Archon 3. Previously, it felt like I would run into the opposite problem: people that were either smurfs, or players coming back to play the game again who should be at a higher rank.
Has anybody else been experiencing this?

Insight from Zquixotix stream on when to rotate for Wisdom Shrines
I don't play mid too often, but this is definitely something to think about as a frequent pos1 to call out for my midlaner.

My cousin had encountered issues where his PC would ask to choose an OS to boot into which was strange as I only installed windows 11 into it. From there it began to not detect any bootable devices.
I go to check it out and enounter the same issues, even after changing the boot priority (the only storage, a HDD, was still showing in the BIOS). I am unable to even boot into an Ubuntu image on a USB (crashes when it does a "file check" or something to that effect).
Suspecting the HDD, less than a year old, may be damaged I connect it to my rig (dumb mistake in hindsight), and I am able to view files in the hdd with no issues, several times. I assume then that the HDD is likely working and my cousin either downloaded something malicious or made a change to his system to damage it.
I setup a windows 11 image, and connect to via usb to his system where I reinstall windows. Even after successfully "installing" windows 11, i kept getting a no bootable device error. I was finally able to boot into an Ubuntu image on a USB, and still view the HDD, so I reinstalled linux with no issues, after which i was finally able to reinstall windows 11 with no issues.
I'm curious if this could have been a virus that cause these issues? (do any viruses cause similar issues?) If its more likely he did something wrong to the PC (he's not tech savvy) or potentially something else?
Lawsuits detail battle over millions of dollars, People Mover builder’s alleged 'improper' conduct
The fact that everybody is suing LINX, the main contractor, makes it seem like they are in fact the ones screwing things up, rather than LAX. I just want it finished!

Hopefully the decrease in unhoused population continues to decrease due to actual changes implemented, rather than due miscounting.
I did the math based on the numbers presented: The article states an estimated 24 Billiion dollars spent on unhoused people since Newsome’s entry into office (2019, 6 years), with an estimated 84,000 unhoused. That means we’ve spent about 47,619 dollars per unhoused person, per year in that time.

Edit This is a vary rough estimate, and assumes the number of unhoused was the same during all of Newsom's years in office (it for sure has not been), but it gives an idea of how much was given per person rather than just looking at the large, 24 billion dollar number.

Not seen here, but do social medias (namely and especially Reddit) seem to like to show "neutral" videos of India, that show it in a bad light?
The only videos/pictures I mainly see of India don't explicitly try to show india in a negative light, but implicity do. Stuff like videos of people using their bare feet as tools to work on items, unsanitary restaurant conditions, etc.
I've never been to India (on my list), I love Indian people, their culture, and especially their food. Because of that, I'm relatively certain those videos are hand picked to go viral, but I don't have anything real to compare it to (my own experience). But also, the disgust seems very manufactured, with frequent racist comments as well in those posts.
Has anybody else noticed this?
