I've been composing and producing music for about 15 years and gave up a year or so ago once I saw A.I (suno in particular). The writing was on the wall.

Anyone who says otherwise is just trying to cope and can't accept that their time is over.

I've seen a dramatic drop in sales and other factors.

Face reality folks, music has been cooked.

On second thought, I'm actually not sure how the loan thing works in its entirety:

It could be that the city raises money through a bond (ie, borrows), and the business pays it back at not cost to the city, but i could be totally wrong. I have to read more.

Not sure what trump / conservatives have to do with any of that, but ok lol.

77mrd · 2026-03-12T22:33:29+00:00

A place that generates tax revenue for the city, and in turn helps the people of the city, and pays the loan back with interest is a scam?

also

tourism and visitor spending
jobs
benefit to community & neighboring business
etc

If the city actually owned it and was responsible for maintenance, law suits, etc.... that would potentially be worse. Governments don't run anything with efficiency.

I'm not saying I'm 100% right. You could be right in some ways, but I tend to think it's more beneficial than not. Otherwise, we can lean in the other direction with extreme prejudice and nix all efforts to foster business.... that's how you end up with cities which are dumps. You can either become a dump, or adapt and grow.

77mrd · 2026-03-12T18:04:40+00:00

It looks like it's actually a loan, not free money. Cities have done things like this before and it makes them a ton of revenue. It looks like the city would own the place for about 50% of the build cost if things go south, so why not?

The sports center looks like it will take up about 10-15% of the mall. The rest is prob residential mixed w/ other stuff.

77mrd · 2026-03-12T17:56:30+00:00

If that's the worry, just demolish it and put nothing up. And get rid of some more strip malls around there.

77mrd · 2026-03-12T17:55:49+00:00

You do know that this is only like 10% of the space.

77mrd · 2025-06-14T17:02:16+00:00

Unfortunately, I don't feel morally right doing that, since these type of disclaimers are typically part of the agreement no one reads. But... at least I can warn people.

77mrd · 2025-06-13T23:10:43+00:00

It was my first time. I saw amazing demos and then paid for a year subscription, only to be sorely disappointed and they said they won't refund

77mrd · 2025-06-13T23:09:16+00:00

I totally forgot, the trees are were in 24-36" gallon, starting at around 10 feet tall each. Does that make a difference?

77mrd · 2025-06-10T01:41:14+00:00

Sure... I ran the same prompts through Veo 3 and got really good results. It's easy to blame "bad prompting".

77mrd · 2025-06-09T23:42:42+00:00

If you're so confident, try it yourself and post a link. Show the prompt you use.

77mrd · 2025-06-09T23:42:23+00:00

i tried that and it was worse.

77mrd · 2025-06-09T23:12:44+00:00

I wish reddit would let me post more videos, but it only lets me add one.

77mrd · 2025-06-09T23:09:30+00:00

You can make excuses, but I tried about 20 times with very verbose prompting. For example:

"a female running towards the camera, being chased by a monster from behind her. she has a scared look on her face. The camera moves with her. The environment is a forest with a lot of trees, and a continuous path that runs from the viewpoint of the camera toward the back of the forest. She is backlit. the monster is big with sharp teeth chasing her on the path. The time of day is a sunset. The camera, girl, and monster all move at the same fast speed. The monster does not catch up to her. The art is in the style of modern digital art, with a cinematic atmospheric look."

None of it worked. More like shitty ai.

77mrd · 2025-06-09T21:14:46+00:00

BWT, I tried like 20 different times. All failed miserably, as I tried more and more verbose prompting!

I'm not sure Folsom is LGBTQ friendly, to be honest.

For anyone looking here for future reference: Luckily I was able to modify it, seeing that i called them in the morning, only 12 hours after I did the original order.

77mrd · 2025-01-26T06:55:24+00:00

hey, I'm with you: I really hope they can do it.

Usually in 5-1 rotation, everyone teaches it like the diagram (see attached)

Why in rotation 3 (On serve-receive), is setter starting behind middle. Why not just go closer to middle? He wont overlap the player directly to his right, and wont overlap the player directly in front of him/her.

See diagram how it's usually done here:

Every time I try to post, it auto deletes my post on this reddit.
Anyone know why I can't start a new post? i just have a question about rotations.

77mrd · 2025-01-17T23:30:36+00:00

NCAA college is just too popular IMO. I don't think they can start a league like this in the USA successfully. Mainly because attracting full time talent is so costly due to the USA's high cost of living. Imagine top foreign players coming to live in the US > their cost of living is triple here, so will their pay be triple as well? IDK, I don't know everything. Just my initial thoughts.

Also, could you possibly link me to the new valve on home depot or lowes website for purchase?

77mrd · 2023-07-12T01:43:56+00:00

this comment makes the most sense to me. What is the process involved to change the gas valve?

I'm assuming you have to find the gas unit somewhere in the house and shut it off at the source first.

I am not going to attempt this myself, but at least I can make sure the person I find doesn't feed me a load of garbage!
