My next door neighbor is trying to lose a 100lbs. But having real problems getting his breathing under control when exercising. Is there like a breathing exercise he can do everyday to improve?

It is extremely difficult to exercise your way to weight loss. Getting your diet under control is much faster and less impactful for a person who is already 100+ pounds overweight. Once a baseline caloric deficit is reached and some initial weight loss started, it is much easier to get into some higher impact exercises and it will be much less difficult to breathe. In the meantime, walking is easy and burns calories and doesn't generally cause breathing issues.

"AI" gets an innocent man arrested; even after validating his Real ID card, cop discounts possibility of facial recognition false positive: "their software is pretty cool" and "our hands are tied"

Coming back around to this old classic: 1979 IBM Document

This is a failure of computing, personnel training, etc. a person cannot relinquish their responsibilities to a computer, they are still liable for the mistake, or they should be.

‘Who builds a ballpark next to a gun range?’: Coach injured by gunfire that crossed into baseball diamond

The article says that the people who were shooting weren't on the shooting range property, so it was probably just some morons shooting guns in an unsafe location who and direction who can't be bothered to use the shooting range. Hopefully the range, were they to actually use it as intended, has proper berms and backstops to keep any rounds from going an unsafe direction.
