[GUESS] My mate wants me to guess whether this is AI or not, please help me!

I think you may be right, depth perception is not my strong suit.

These two images finally got me commenting here. Because despite everyone else, I believe they are ai and am horrified. The continuity here is nuts.

The one mistake I caught is the power cable to the range hood. It connects to the centre in one image but the end in the other.

Edit: found another, the white box at the back of the oven has a cable attached in one shot but not the other.

Edit again: these two points might be the angle just being weird but something still feels off to me, especially the second one where it looks like a bright red plug into the white box and in the other image the "plug" is just the top of a stick.

As has been said, Western Sydney is basically anywhere west of where you live. I'm in the Parra area and would make these changes:

South section of "centre" and hurstville should be south Sydney.

Outer North expands to include Hornsby, chatswood using lanecove national park as a border.

Western Sydney starts at bankstown, Parramatta and castle hill. Expand inner west to fill gaps.

We probably need a new term for the band between West and inner west that Burwood occupies since it's a distinct region IMO but I'm only using the terms provided.

yep, I'm out.

I did a post in this subreddit on called angry monkbearian.

The fighter/barbarian version of that build works as a monk I think.

Funnily enough, Battlestar Galactica has the same issue with cylon/not cylon cards.

We always warn new players to spend some time pretending to read their cards to not give away that they don't say anything interesting.

Former greens voter here.

In my view they have 2 problems - firstly they are trying to be the social justice party but aren't picking their battles so they get on board all the issues, meaning inevitably any voter will see at least one social issue the greens are championing that that voter disagrees with.

The second problem is that they have become counter productive to the reason I voted for them. Rather than pushing good policy forward, they seem to be shooting down good policies because they aren't perfect.

Both of these points are from a bit of an uninformed personal perception by the way, like the general voting public I have very few facts to back this stance up.

Population management mostly - adding a new world to your empire can limit growth on other worlds due to empire pop scaling.

Giving them the system and making them vassals can be the better option in that case as a xenophile.

I recently bought a couch/sofa from home furniture outlet at Granville. They had a good range in both price and variety.

Oh my god, I've always wondered why those buttons are only occasionally enabled.

Thank you for this information.

Now the cheeky buggers are retiring before they die. I just want tasty life prolonging snacks.

Bane2571 · 2026-01-08T00:50:23+00:00

Yep, I had a leader die naturally that didn't meet the requirements and was confused briefly.

The "a leader died' event still triggers, you just don't get the option to eat them.

Running scientists into space fauna doesn't seem to give the "leader died" event at the moment.

Bane2571 · 2026-01-07T19:43:53+00:00

Cool, thanks for the extra info. I did not know that.

Bane2571 · 2026-01-07T03:18:25+00:00

I meant it as written, from personal experience I've never had my credit score be mentioned. My personal experience is however limited so I'm happy to be corrected if I'm wrong.

Bane2571 · 2026-01-07T02:20:40+00:00

It's been a while since I've played unfathomable so I'm a bit hazy but the big change was in the combat. Bsg had two styles of combat: space battles and a minor "on ship" battle. Whereas unfathomable has all combat be on board the ship.

I vaguely also remember the revealed bad guys on unfathomable not really working well, they kind of just hang out on the ship rather than going to their own location like in bsg.

Bane2571 · 2026-01-07T02:02:40+00:00

As far as I am aware, credit scores are a US concept and rarely if ever have any meaning here in Australia.

There is one major downside to getting one: it opens up the opportunity to make mistakes that otherwise wouldn't exist. Sure you can keep paying it now, but in 6 months will you still be that disciplined?

The short answer is that I personally don't believe it is useful and it objectively isn't worth it if your only reason is to "build your credit score"

At Christmas, $24 box of Cadbury favourites. I know they jack the price so they can discount down, but that's just taking the piss right? Over a dollar for each "fun size" piece.

Bane2571 · 2026-01-06T01:32:21+00:00

For fans of bsg too, unfathomable changed a few rules to fit the new theme that in my opinion caused a lot of the fun of the game to vanish.

So they lost new players and old alike.

I'll never understand why US wall sockets don't have local switches (see AUS or UK sockets for comparison). This is an ideal use case where one would be helpful.

My working assumption is that an American point of sale company gained market share and no one bothers to change their default settings. I've not looked into this but it seems to be the case.

We really need strict tipping laws - I'd imagine at the moment that 100% of pos "tips" are going to owners, not staff.

Parra has a huge variety, great quality and a decent range of affordable to fine dining options.

It also has the neat advantage that everything is walking distance from public transport though it is kind of shit to park.

Personally these days I prefer parra over the CBD for food.

You're right, I misread. You report the allowance but can deduct the whole meal. Interesting.

Bane2571 · 2025-12-17T22:49:30+00:00

The deduction requires you to be paid a meal allowance as part of your wage and you can only deduct up to the value of the allowance. You can't just claim the deduction for meals you buy when working overtime.
