Their new one is very interesting. I wanted an electric truck when I bought my most recent one but just couldn't afford it. If it's 30k for the base, figure 40k with bells and whistles. That makes it super attainable with a decent trade.
It's great for rough drafts, but requires real work to turn into something final. It's PHENOMENAL at macro building and saves just a metric shit ton of time there. It's also very good at multiple simple changes if you don't want to actually build a macro.
They seem to have hit the sweet spot of providing the tool to support the artist instead of just replacing the artist skills.
Edit: I am unaffiliated with the company other than using their product. It actually turned me from a one time purchaser when I needed the updated tools (twice, I think) to an annual subscriber. I said I would never do that, but it really is an extreme time saver.
I use AI to make small edits to designs I've already done (one of our side businesses does deal with graphic design). Like changing the color of an entire layer or quickly editing complicated text. One thing I've noticed is that if you enter more than 2 or 3 edits, every model will just completely redo the design into a generic AI mess. I don't know why they lose the thread, but you have to really work one step at a time and waste time generating multiple images as steps in the process. There's only one super useful AI tool in this space, but it's locked behind an annual subscription by Corel.
I guess it comes down to expectations? You don't expect formal conventions from a website writer, while I absolutely do.
I find it interesting that it was a flag for AI writing for you. That's going to make me consider my voice in certain situations now.
AND PUT THE FUCKING THING ON A TRANSPARENT BACKGROUND AND DON'T JUST PUT IT ON CHECKERBOARDS
I'm designing some fun stickers for my nieces and can't draw. It's been a learning experience.
I wish they made something like that, that wasn't 500mm.
Every other star Trek has been just daytime soap opera but in spaaaaace. It's really sad. Or maybe I'm just older now and my glasses aren't as rose colored anymore. I don't know.
They're still not illegal, as OP said.
In a rural community, being labeled as an asshole has real repercussions. A neighbor down the road is moving away because of this. He called the cops on a guy who was trying to catch some horses that got out of their pen when the man looking for his horses pulled into his driveway to then back out and turn around. The place he bought was my neighbor's grandpa's farm. There was an old barn with a wooden door inside that my neighbor asked to buy from him (his grandpa had carved his and the grandma's initials on it when they were dating). So the asshole said sure, for $25k. When my neighbor said no, the asshole burned the door. He's an asshole, and because of that nobody would help him when he needed help with his crops because his combine died.
Now he's leaving. Community is important when there's not much of it around.
But I digress. I'm not sure geography or politics has anything to do with emotional maturity.
After killing it, and never going back to that site since, I can tell you that it gets your blood pressure up. Before chatbots, most popular content, even in the better subreddits were, essentially, ragebait.
Do your blood pressure a favor and stop going to reddit. HN is okay because it's slower paced and, typically, ragebait is discouraged here.
The last time there was a competitive election in my district was the 70's before the state was gerrymandered to hell and back.
Too many people vote for a candidate just because of the little r or d next to their name on the ballot.
When the maze is only dead ends, why is it surprising that people disengage?
I took one a day for 4 days, as the panic would flare up right before I tried to sleep. I figured, I could be taking 6 a day, so 1 a day shouldn't hurt. And it was only 4 days in a row. No problem.
Day 5. Bang. Dt's. Immediate anxiety attack. Suicidal thoughts. Brain zaps. High blood pressure. Vertigo.
They are no joke, but doctors throw them around like they used to with opiates.
Selecting a season and then the episode gives you the episode summary instead of just playing the episode.
Hitting back on an episode brings up a side menu sometimes and others it leaves the episode like it should.
Why Plex?
Depending on where you live, a New Zealand/California mix is about as good as you can get for meat rabbits. They grow well and aren't overly delicate.
If you live somewhere with wild heat waves, just straight Californias, or some of the custom breeds from Texas A&M would be better to avoid heat deaths.
Also, you can just feed them grass in rabbit tractors, but they won't thrive like if they had access to a more varied diet. That's for all rabbits, not just meat rabbits
But also I'm biased.
Also I'm a firm believer that if you're at a union shop and decide not to be part of the union you shouldn't be able to use their pay scales and should have to negotiate everything for yourself. The same with HOA's, I guess. If they do something for the community, like the pool the other poster talked about, then you shouldn't have access. Easy.
They shouldn't be able to take your house for any reason.
God I wish he had written 1000 more novels. Every single one of his stories is phenomenal, even the non culture stuff. The Wasp Factory was the first of his novels I read. Imagine my surprise and elation in finding that most of his other works were absolute top tier sci-fi.
