According to a post on Mumsnet’s Am I Being Unreasonable (AIBU) forum, user Glassback83 was planning to buy his 16-year-old son a PC for his birthday. But the user’s father (who has been building computers “for years”) said he could build one for “cheaper” than it would be to buy one from a store. So they agreed to have him do it and have the PC be a gift from the user and the child’s grandparents....

Hill spent nearly two decades in the NBA and made the All-Star team seven times, including four consecutive seasons to start his career as a member of the Pistons. He posted a well-rounded line of 21.6 points, 7.9 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game over his six seasons (1994-2000) in Detroit. Then, adversity hit Hill hard.

In a viral TikTok video, posted under the username @sparklesdragonmaster, Vito initiates playtime with his two puppies, Rip and Hank, who are a little unsure about their dad’s excitable energy. The dogs’ owner, Susan Onorato from Sadieville, Kentucky, told Newsweek: “Vito absolutely loves to play, so when there is anyone available, he is all about it. He will play like this with my husband and I.” The Great Pyrenees, sometimes known as the Pyrenean Mountain Dog, is a breed recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 1933....

Ryan Johnson, the research coordinator for Blue Wilderness Research Unit, which conducts research on sharks, filmed the encounter by chance. He was contacted by the NSRI (National Sea Rescue Institute), which said a member of the public had notified them of a whale entangled in a net. Initially, he was told the whale was probably already dead, so he went to the site expecting to film a scavenging event. Soon after arriving, however, he realized it was still alive—albeit weakened....

The attack, which took place on Wednesday morning local time, left the 14-year-old surfer with injuries to his lower right forearm. Avoca and North Avoca beaches were closed as a result. A drone operator was deployed to the area to search the waters for any sign of the shark responsible. A New South Wales Department of Primary Industries spokesperson told Newsweek on Thursday: “NSW Department of Primary Industries shark biologists have determined a White Shark was likely responsible for a shark bite on a surfer at North Avoca....

“Bunny Money,” by Rosemary Wells (Dial Books; 1997; $14.99); The Bunny Money Game (International Playthings; $19.95) If you think it’s time your deadbeat 4-year-old learned responsibility, this book-and-game combination can start him off easy. In the book, bunny sibs Max and Ruby go shopping for Grandma’s birthday. But Max snacks his way to the store and runs through all their cash. The game winner is the one who finishes first with a present for Grandma....

The comet, which may be faintly visible to the naked eye at night from dark sky locations, if you know where to look, is currently more than 27 million miles from Earth. C/2022 E3 (ZTF) has already passed perihelion—its closest point to the sun—and on Wednesday it will reach its minimum distance from our planet before speeding out of the solar system altogether. Comets are astronomical objects made up of frozen gases, dust and rock that orbit the sun....

Texas’ trigger law banning abortions went into effect in August following the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade in late June. The law makes it a felony to perform an abortion in the state, with no exceptions for rape or incest. Abbott said victims of such crimes can take Plan B—emergency contraception also known as the “morning after pill” that is intended for use within 72 hours after unprotected sex—to prevent pregnancy in an interview with KXAS-TV and The Dallas Morning News that will air on Sunday....

Hardy, 34, will be stepping into the boxing ring for the second time in his career. This time, he will be on a major platform, as Hardy will fight Hasim Rahman Jr. on the third installment of the MF & DAZN X series on November 19. Hardy is in after former UFC light heavyweight champion Vitor Belfort backed out due to a positive case of COVID-19. The fight will take place in Texas’ Moody Center....

What the plaster mold of his bust is for isn’t immediately clear, with no other information being given either on Norman’s Twitter page or Instagram account. It’s apparently for some kind of sculpture but to what end is anyone’s guess at this point. What’s not unclear is how weirded out I am right now.

Perhaps it’s too obvious at times to simply award a league’s Coach of the Year to the manager of the best team. It’s easier and more enticing to look for a manager who has done more with less, a coach who has overachieved and taken an unfancied side further than anybody expected. In Major League Soccer this season, however, the obvious choice is also the correct one. Toronto FC’s Greg Vanney is our pick for MLS Coach of the Year....

Since taking over four years ago, Berhalter has guided the U.S. through the tumult of the COVID-19 pandemic and molded some of the brightest young talent to ever come through the program. The USMNT won the CONCACAF Gold Cup under him in 2021. The United States has plenty of room to grow, but Berhalter already has the team succeeding on the international stage after going 1-0-2 in the group stage....

The climate activist is working alongside Danish non-profit Human Act on a campaign to help UNICEF, launched Thursday. The goal is to protect young people from the primary and secondary effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as violence, lost education and food shortages. Money raised will be put towards soap, masks and other protective equipment, as well as towards providing life-saving information and support to healthcare systems. Thunberg launched the campaign by donating the prize money she received from Human Act for her climate activism, contributing $100,000 to the cause....

Atletico Madrid star Griezmann has been heavily linked with Barcelona this season, while Manchester United are also believed to a long-term suitor of the forward. The 27-year-old is under contract at the Wanda Metropolitano until 2022, but it remains to be seen if Diego Simeone’s side can keep hold of their prized asset. And, while €100m (£87.7m/$116.6m) remains a considerable sum, ex-Bordeaux, AC Milan, Barca and Birmingham City star Dugarry knows it would be money well spent....

Pep Guardiola’s vibrant side have broken records with every passing game in recent weeks. Most wins, most goals, you name it. Today they broke another, and one that perhaps says as much about them as the others; this was the first time they have come from behind to win an away Premier League match in which they had trailed at half time since, wait for it, 1995! Man City 9/2 for UCL glory...

MORE: Every NBA team’s most feared potential first-round matchup Conley was reevaluated by team doctors, and the was decision made that pushing his return wasn’t in Conley’s best interests. He’ll become a free agent this offseason. Asked Monday by reporters if any of the slew of injured Grizzlies — Conley, Brandan Wright, Jordan Adams and P.J. Hairston — was expected back this season, coach Dave Joerger said, “I think we’ll see P....

The Grizzlies announced the signing Monday through a team release. Morris, who is 23, had been averaging 4.2 points and 1.6 assists in 22 games with the Philadelphia 76ers and Los Angeles Clippers this season. The 6-foot-4 guard averaged 6.9 points and 2.6 assists per game for the 76ers before getting waived on Nov. 20. He signed a pair of 10-day contracts with the Clippers and played in 10 games for them....

The man shared his frustration to Reddit’s Antiwork forum, under username Acidalia-planitia, captioning the post: “PTO [paid time off] for my wedding week declined.” He raged: “I’m getting married July 22 (very excited!!!!!!) and I saw last week my PTO for the week of was rejected. “Thought maybe it was an error, but I checked the schedule and I’m put on to work the 21st and 22nd, the actual f****** day of my wedding....

The soon-to-be-married man also urged him to “act his age” in an outburst that has resulted in the best friend declining his invitation to the happy couple’s big day. While it may be tradition for wedding guests to stick to a certain dress code, there is evidence that times are changing. In a 2021 YouGovAmerica survey of just under 1,300 U.S. adults, 59 percent of respondents said they disapproved of the idea of the bride and groom asking guests to wear a particular color to their wedding....
