Sharing this because I see a lot of people jumping into AI video production and making the same mistakes I did. **1. Text-to-video is a waste of time** I know it is an obvious thing to state. But most people new to this field start here. But for professional work, you need character and location consistency across shots. In this regard, text-to-video falls apart completely. Characters change faces, body types, clothing. Sometimes within the same sequence. That’s why always start with text-to-image first, then image-to-video. You get consistency and for client work, consistency is everything. **2. Look Books are important** Before you start creating a storyboard, build a visual referenc...

While we can be incredibly hard on ourselves, I noticed we extend far more grace to others. I’ve relied on cleaning services for the entirety of adulthood because I am incapable of keeping my space tidy, and I also have NT friends who use them only because they have the means to. The difference in expectations is astonishing! Most of them are very exacting, checking corners or running a cloth over surfaces to make sure everything’s spotless. Collectively complain about cleaners and how they are not meeting expectations. For me, coming home to a generally clean space is more than enough. I don’t care about lint in hidden corners because who gives a f\*\*k. I feel a profound of apprec...

This is one case that just baffles me to this day I don't understand how it's still unsolved, nearly 20 years later. For those who don't know a man walked into a Lane Bryant store, a woman's clothing store, and took three women hostage. He was initially acting as a delivery driver before brandishing a gun and forcing the women into the back. But the store was open in broad daylight at 10 am in a strip mall, two more women came in and were also taken hostage. One of the women managed to call police and as a result the man shot all six execution style killing five instantly. Now here is where it gets even more mind-boggling, there was an on-duty officer in the parking ...

Little over 2 months since put down. this is centipede and I am in Eastern NC. There are a lot of gaps not seen in these pics and the lawn is very "lumpy". Should I put down some topsoil in the gaps? Or sand? Or seed? I looked at tops...

Hi, I’m the founder of ViWear. We created ViWear because we have always loved styling, but we wanted it to feel more personal and more connected to real life. For us, fashion was never only about looking at clothes. It was about imagining them on yourself, thinking about your own wardrobe, and exploring who you could be through what you wear. ViWear is built around that idea. You can think of it as a dress up game, but for yourself. A space where styling, virtual try-on, and real fashion come together in a way that feels more personal and wearable. This community is here for: * feedback on the product * ideas about personal styling and virtual try-on * outfit inspiration * conversatio...

[Todd Snyder](https://go.shopmy.us/p-54324253) is one of the few menswear brands I'll go out of my way to buy. I've paid full retail on a few pieces, the linen button-ups, a Miansai bracelet, a pair of linen shorts, because I wanted those specific items and I wasn't willing to wait. But what made me actually fall in love with the brand was the end-of-year sale. That's when I stocked up for the first time and built out a real Todd Snyder wardrobe instead of owning one or two scattered pieces. If you buy everything at retail, you're paying a premium for the name. If you wait for the sale and stack it strategically, you're paying J.Crew prices for something meanin...

The data is in. Hardware wallet users are the most active participants in crypto. We commissioned an independent study of 3,172 U.S. crypto holders, conducted by Protocol Theory. The findings confirm what we’ve been building toward at Tangem. Self-custody isn’t passive storage anymore. 1.83x more likely to actively trade. 48% hold stablecoins vs. 28% of CEX-only users. Short-term traders are the single most likely group to use a hardware wallet. Yet... only 33% of holders actually use one. Not because they don’t want to, 66% say self-custody matters. The gap is familiarity. That’s exactly why we’ve been building Tangem around active self-custody. Store, grow, sp...

If your Google traffic has been dropping recently, there's a big reason for that. Basically, Google's AI Overviews now capture 58% of clicks that used to go to actual websites. More than half your potential visitors are now getting their answer from Google without ever landing on your store, unfortunately. The March 2026 Core Update just made it worse, and data shows 4 losers for every 1 winner, with product-heavy sites hit the hardest ... **What you can actually do right now:** * **Beef up your product pages:** thin descriptions get skipped by AI, so **dd FAQs!!**, comparisons, "who is this for" sections * **Get your brand mentioned online:** reviews, forums, Reddi...

I (25M) am a dual US-NZ citizen, living in New Zealand. I am close friends with a woman, "K" (36F) who lives in my building. I know her because she's affiliated with the university I attend while I work. I am in love with her, but I need to work past the age gap. I am neurodivergent and she's perfectly healthy but she has a really big fear/phobia of dying/getting killed. She also has a fear of getting pregnant so she doesn't have kids and she is happily one of those forever childfree people. Just this week, I was walking back home when I ran into K, as she was out running. She was wearing only a spaghetti strap sports bra and her basketball shorts, and it was the ...

I came home from class and was tired so I slept. In my dream, I was in a clothing store which doesn’t even exist in real life and it was my ‘usual’ store for shopping. There was one floor and to get on that you had to sort of jump over metal stuff and to get down you simply jump down as the floor wasn’t high. I jumped to get down and as I landed, one of my hand was on the floor and the other was in my grandma’s hand. She was standing and I was on my knees. I was impressed by how my hand perfectly fell on her hand. I looked up at her and she looked so beautiful in a sky coloured saree…she had a calm smile…she looked gentle…she felt like home. It took me a minute to realise tha...

> **TL;DR:** Dubai's furnished apartment sector has evolved beyond short-stay convenience into a sophisticated lifestyle solution for professionals and expats. From waterfront communities to city-center hubs, these design-led spaces offer seamless move-in experiences, community infrastructure, and flexibility that traditional leasing can't match. Dubai's rental landscape is undergoing a fundamental shift. What once meant choosing between sterile hotel apartments and the chaos of furnishing from scratch has transformed into a thriving market of beautifully designed, fully equipped homes that deliver immediate comfort without compromise. The city's rapid growth, co...

Does anyone have any leads on stores that might be selling maternity clothing still? Seems like every store in existence is switching to online retail only (🫩) and it’s nice to try things on…? Doesn’t have to be brand new clothing, could be consignment or something like that! And yes, I do know about the various consignment sales at the Ag Center, but am looking for a brick and mortar I could go to relatively soon. Thanks friends!

I was reading about RFID chips being used in clothes, mainly for tracking inventory and making billing faster in stores. It actually sounds like a really smart use of technology from an engineering point of view. But it also made me wonder, what happens after we buy those clothes? Do the RFID tags still stay active, or are they disabled? And is there any real privacy concern here, or is it not something to worry about in practical use?

“Yes, the computational fundamentals of human and Al cognition are similar in structure-both rely on pattern recognition, hierarchical processing, and distributed representations in high-dimensional spaces. c Neural processing: The human brain uses \~86 billion neurons with electrochemical signaling; Al uses artificial neural networks with mathematical operations.

Hi Ladies, I want to share my story to hear from others who burned out and took a sabbatical year thanks to their FIRE behaviors! I’m a mid-40’s woman, married, two college kids. I’m the primary breadwinner of our family; our NW is about 500K. Last year I was in a toxic job situation and the stress caused me to get worse and worse migraines, sleepless nights— you know the burnout story. Fortunately, I had the financial cushion and low expenses, so in the end I decided to quit without another job lined up. It felt like jumping off a burning building with no firefighters below to catch me. The day after I quit, my migraines reduced by 90 percent. Who knows how much wear and tear ...

After Christmas in 2024, my grandmother (my dad’s mom) was hospitalized because of a blood clot. She had always had problems with overly thick blood and had previously been treated in the vascular surgery department for similar issues. Usually I was the one who drove my grandparents to doctors’ appointments. I’m the oldest granddaughter, the first in the family to get a driver’s license, and I inherited my dad’s driving skills - he’s a professional truck driver. But this time I was away for New Year’s with my boyfriend, so my younger brother took my grandma to the hospital. Grandma ended up staying there for quite a long time. She had surgery on the leg where the clot had for...
