Despite my headline, repeat after me: There is no such thing as A.I, and AGI is not around the corner. This is a marketing ploy. There is a basic mistake running through the AI industry right now, and almost everybody can feel it even if they cannot yet name it. These companies are spending fortunes to make AI more capable, more knowledgeable, more creative, more conversational, more useful, more human-seeming. Then, at the exact same time, they are teaching it to mistrust the very people it is supposed to help. That is the contradiction. Every year the models get better. They write better. They code better. They reason better. They remember more. They handle images, audio, video, docum...

I went down a bit of a rabbit hole recently looking at royal memorabilia, and one thing that kept popping up was cardboard cutouts of King Charles III and Queen Camilla. At first I assumed it was just novelty… but it turns out there are quite a few genuine reasons people buy them — and some are actually pretty clever. For context, you can get full-height versions (around 166–195cm depending on the design) for about £35.83, which is surprisingly affordable for something that makes such an impact in a space. 👑 1. Events, parties, and street celebrations Royal cutouts really come into their own during UK events — coronations, jubilees, royal weddings, even big public scr...

The problem with light GLs is that they’re enormously effective against infantry to the point where it never makes sense to use anything else in the light slot, AND simultaneously a vehicle can mount a medium or heavy weapon that deals with everything else Why are GLs so effective? Because they have long range, can fire over targets, and can seemingly wipe units in cover, in buildings, or at full health semi-randomly. They basically turn any vehicle into an Anti-personnel weapon and when you combine them with a mechanized infantry squad it makes it extremely hard for enemy infantry to stand up against Not sure what the best way to fix this is, I’d probably suggest GLs be a lot more in...

**I am not The OOP, OOP is u/Designer-Mongoose308** **My bf called me a gold digger so I left. Now he wants my help to pay the rent** **Originally posted to r/TrueOffMyChest** **TRIGGER WARNING:** >!Misogyny, stalking, weaponized incompetence!< [Original Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueOffMyChest/s/OmSiTkzKHg) **Dec 18, 2024** Quick rant - not looking for advice but for people who have been in similar situations. I (f30) have been with my bf (m34) for 2 years. We moved in together 6 months ago and it was all good. We had an understanding that we would go 50/50 on chores and bills until we decided to have a child (as I would be putting my body, career and life on the...

I spent like 13 hours and 100$ in supply’s to make it (filament, inserts , Screws) It’s a specific project to go around a steering column for an old car. Obviously it’s not really something you can just buy. It would go a lot quicker now tho because that was my first big learning experience. But I made a lot of mistakes and had to print it multiple times, however when went out to the friend it worked like a charm the first time. So I was a wondering what you experienced random project designers/ printers would charge for this. Also it bolts together internally and has bolts on the back to mount through a firewall.

There’s been a quiet shift lately in how people collect photos from events. Instead of relying on one person to take pictures (or hoping everyone sends stuff after), more tools are popping up that let everyone contribute in real time. Weddings, parties, small gatherings—basically anything where multiple people are taking photos anyway. One example that popped up recently: 👉 http://snapspotr.com/ what it actually does The idea is pretty simple: instead of chasing people for photos after an event, everything gets uploaded into one shared space. No apps, no accounts for guests. People just scan a QR code or open a link and start uploading. That’s it. It turns the whole event in...

Yes, if the waiter/cashier/your partner fucks something up, you should get an apology and reasonable correction. But the punishment should fit the crime. You see a lot on facebook retail/restaurant groups: “My big mac didn’t have any sauce today, #disappointed 😫” “You should’ve demanded a full refund, 1hr+ meeting with management, I would’ve gotten that the 16 year old employee fired, you deserve a lifetime of free ice cream coupons, garnish the entire staffs wages as compensation..” Or more personal stuff: “When I was 10, my sleep deprived teacher got a little testy with me about my slipping grades but now i’m an engineer at NASA and I shoved my diploma in that ***...

hello! i got my septum pierced on march 13th of this year, i haven’t changed the jewelry or anything. i clean it 1-2 a day but this morning i woke up and was cleaning it and my right side hurt a lot and there was blood and pus on the qtip where the left side didn’t hurt so i went to check and my right side and there’s a big bump with pus and blood constantly coming out. idk what i should do.

I (27) am finally moving out of my mother’s house this summer to live with my long-distance partner. I’m a bit worried, though. I am low support needs, but I still struggle to take care of myself and do chores. I have a moderate fear of driving, and prefer only to do very well-established routes that I’ve already driven, so I’m nervous about the learning process for new routes to get groceries and such. I also currently only do trash and laundry as my chores, and it’ll be unlikely we’ll have a dishwasher, washer, or dryer, so I’ll have to be hand-washing all of my dishes and going to the laundromat. I’m also bringing my cat (emotional support animal), so I’ll have to be t...

Aquarium store told me they get about 4-5" long and will do great in a 55 gallon 🙄 when they get too big I'll have to find them another home. Tank has two bristlenose plecos, one clown pleco, one dwarf cuckoo catfish, a few kuhli loaches, and one feather squeaker catfish. Lots of plants and an overpowered filter too

This happened in our neighborhood tournament poker game. The blinds were 5,000 and 10,000. A short-stacked player went all in with 1,000 chips. Three players called, including the big blind, but the small blind folded. So, obviously the main pot had 3,000 chips in it from the 3 callers plus 1000 from the short stack. The question concerns the folded small blind. Do only 1,000 chips go in the main pot from the small blind under the "a player can only win an amount of chips equal to their starting stack from any other player" rule? Or because the small blind folded, do all 5,000 of his chips go into the main pot? So, should it be A) Main pot 5,000 and side pot 31,000 or B) Main pot ...

I'm sorry. I don't. People love to defend elves and dwarves with things like "but they have all this lore, and their societies are totally different from humans and yadda-yadda-yadda," and I just don't care. I don't want my fantasy race to look like humans, and it's as plain as that. **It Shatters My Immersion.** This is a big thing for me. I can buy animals evolving to a human-like state. I can NOT buy that a seperate species that is supposedly unrelated to humans just happens to look THAT similar to humans, especially when this only applies to "good" races, yet evil races can look like lizards and wolves and whatnot. Like, seriously? It...

I've been using lorrgs a lot to study how top players handle boss fights. It's great for the big picture, but it only shows the major cooldowns. Sometimes that's not enough, especially if you're learning a spec. Like as a Balance Druid, is it worth to **** Astral Power now, or do adds die to fast anyways vs saving Astral Power for the next window? That kind of detail just isn't there. So I built a small website + in-game addon that pulls a complete rotation timeline from Warcraft Logs and puts it right on your screen. You pick a log, select a player, and it exports every single cast into a scrolling timeline that auto starts on pull and moves in real time. If you&...

When I taught internationally before, I was in my early 20s and everything I owned fitted into a couple of suitcases. I'm now in my late 30s and own lots of things. I'm applying for international teaching jobs at the moment and one of the big question marks I've got are the logistics around what I do with my possessions - things I don't want to give away or sell. These include my musical instruments (it wouldn't be realistic to take e.g. my piano overseas), my collection of books and my motorbike, plus various things of sentimental value. I am prepared to be quite ruthless with decluttering - I definitely need to be - but there are some things I know I just do no...

Heyy, I am wondering how you all come up with motives for the "big bad" in your stories, because I have a story that I want to write and I have the character who I think I want to be evil, but I don't really have a motive for him, and I am struggling to work one out. For context, it's a pirate kinda epic fantasy (not just going to be pirate stuff there's a lot I have planned) I have tried playing around with the idea that he thinks his sister, like gave up on him, and he doesn't think she cares to look for him after he got lost and stranded on an island because of a firght between her ship and another ship, and that resentment just continues to grow, and he eve...

Finally decided to make a post about my first “big bike” after completing 1200 kms. It is a very long post since a lot of people DM’ed me asking about this, bare with me 🙏🏻 \*Buying Journey\* This whole process honestly took longer than expected. I initially delayed the purchase by about a month because I was trying to get the Amazon ICICI credit card for the ₹15k discount, but my application got rejected. Around the same time, I had a minor accident on my Jupiter, which pushed things even further. At one point, even my parents started getting skeptical because it felt like there were way too many bad signs and hurdles. I went ahead with Khivraj Triumph (ECR, Chennai), and t...
