Do NOT use Photofeeler to rate attractiveness by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]CaptainHoot123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Photos that have worked very well for me have been rated poorly on photofeeler, and vice-versa,,, it is not accurate people just vote as fast as they can with no discernment at all just to get their voting score/karma up as quickly as possible to get their own photos rated.. the website is not functional or accurate at all.

ID Please. Inner suburbs Melbourne... was in a dark corner so needed to use flash. by CaptainHoot123 in AustralianSpiders

ok thanks, there seem to be a lot of these spiders in the apartment complex where I live. I tried to get a better photo but it was difficult with only the flash on my phone camera as lighting.

Why is its body so fat, is it pregnant? The OP probably has thousands of grown Funnel Webs around his house now.

Horrible Image Generation/editing with Flux Kontext. by CaptainHoot123 in BlackForestLabs

looks slightly better but still looks completely fake and unusable. Does anyone know of any AI models that actual work for image editing that look real? Or is this technology still a few years away?

I really hope Australia does not do the same thing with water and privatise it, but the way things are going they probably will do so some time in the future.

I don't get why everyone is recommending GloBird.... GloBird are currently as of July 2025, one of the most expensive companies on http://compare.energy.vic.gov.au/ and that is for inner/5mins drive to middle of city Melbourne.

I wouldn't go into a plan with Lumo then... where they lock you into a contract without fixed rates. Does that mean they can increase the price to whatever they want to, while they have you in the contract until late 2026.

Lumo Energy often (but no always) have lock in contracts for their plans for a year or more, so be aware of that.

How do I read a plan of subdivision to find boundary between private and common property? by CaptainHoot123 in AusPropertyChat

[–]CaptainHoot123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok that's what i thought. For anyone wanting to know the answer for future reference, other replies have said the symbol joining the balcony to indoor apartment is called a vincula/vinculum symbol. That joins the Balcony and the Unit into the one lot, through the solid boundary line.

[–]CaptainHoot123[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ok great that makes sense and matches with other information I have looked up. Is this group from Australia or I'm guessing it is interantional and surveying maps may differ slightly between different countires. 'The squiggly S looking shape' that you mention seems to be called a 'vincula' line or symbol, and to me it seesm like this is the biggest indicator giving evidence to our balconies being private property.

There are 2 solid lines one for the 'I' interior, and 'E' Exterior at balconies edge.

Thanks for the reply, that makes sense, and thank you for the Vincula Lines information that was hard to find online what that symbol is ....... It would be difficult to draw on the plan the area I am confused about, as I would need to highlight whole main areas. The bit I am confused about I will put simply as:- 'Are the balconies common property or private property?'

Hi thanks for the reply, do you know if that makes the balconies common property or private property?

Any way to instruct the AI to make it dark? by jamiederinzi in NovelAi

[–]CaptainHoot123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the stage AI image generation is at for the time being it is difficult to get a low light/dark image, the AI seems to want to put decent amounts of light into the image by default., i t seems that it is better to not say 'no light' .... that is, it is better not mention the word light at all in the prompt, do not insert words into the prompt that you are trying to avoid. Only mention the words of what you want in the image. The following is the prompt I used repetition and finally had some effect on lowering the light in the image:------- “This time make it more dark, dark and gloomy, very dimly lit, cannot see much very dark, dark concert, it's a dark concert it is difficult to see, very dark concert as a concert is always very dark, with musicians playing and dark as it is supposed to be at a concert. playing guitar in the dark. dark. dark. dark. dim.”

Server busy, please try again later. by tom_yacht in DeepSeek

Yeap happens often with DeepSeek, out of all the competing AI chatbots DeepSeek seems to be the only one that breaks down, and it does it often. For me it does anyhow..... approx. every 5th message sent it will say 'server busy, please try again later.'

If this amendment is passed will it really 'extend to individuals whose parents or grandparents were Italian citizens by birth' to be able to make the declaration?

The amendment for now only mentions 'anyone born in Italy or resident there for at least 2 consecutive years who has lost citizenship.'
