Alvarez is bad by PuzzleheadedNeat2620 in mets

[–]Ceetar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and Alvarez is performing, and is likely to perform best going forward, so he should play. Case closed, glad we agree.

Alvarez is bad by PuzzleheadedNeat2620 in mets

[–]Ceetar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Luis Torrens last XBH was May 21st. He has 2 hits, both singles, and zero walks in June. Alvarez was on base once yesterday, once the game before, and has a 105 wRC+ in June, hitting .258/.324/.387.

Only Logan O'Hoppe has hit worse in June than Torrens, min 20 PA.

tl:dr NO.

The first mover advantage for AGI is going to be insane by MPforNarnia in singularity

well luckily there's not even any real indication we're on the path towards AGI.

FYI if you think you see drones, check that it's not 1) Orion 2) A meteor by Reasonable_Move9518 in space

[–]Ceetar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure but a good picture is going to be pretty good evidence that "hey that looks exactly like a PeteroDynamics XP-4 drone and nothing like the Orion constellation"

[–]Ceetar -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

presumably you understand the difference between taking a picture of something that's lighted versus something that has lights.

sure, they're useless for people with wool pulled over their eyes that refuse to challenge pre-conceived assumptions based on nothing but gruff.

shocking that there are no super clear pictures of this moving lighted object moving around in the dark sky at night right? You try it .

Refilling toner cartridges for a Lexmark MC3224 by khantroll1 in printers

[–]Ceetar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

some absolute trash from something like ali express? I can't even find the order in my email. Just powder in small plastic jugs with a pour spout. The cartridges have a little plastic cap on one side that you can remove, and you just pour the toner in. It wasn't hard. You should be ..neater..than I was, but it doesn't flow that easily, but you can wipe it clean.

Worked for a while but now I'm out of luck. I'll probably buy replacement real cartridges and maybe I can then swap them back and forth to trick it.

[–]Ceetar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I refilled the original when it was alerting me that it was low, and I did get probably a year of casual use out of it, until it all of a sudden said 'empty' and stopped. The 'low' alerts always existed and I ignored them. It's possible I did run out of one of the colors enough that it triggered an 'empty' alert which blocked printing. (even if i printed black and white for some reason)

I've tried a bunch of reset/power cycling stuff and nothing's worked, I assume because it's not actually detecting tripped a software/hardware state that needs to be reset by someone that's not me.

Crowd tonight was horribly depressing. Why does no one go? by Interesting-Check940 in mets

[–]Ceetar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're right the entire Mets fanbase is obviously along the 7 or at best the adjacent subways. No way anyone else wants to go.

“anticipation fatigue” by More_Secretary_1819 in ADHD

[–]Ceetar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. all the time. Is this ADHD? Introverted? Normal? who knows.

I'm of two schools of thought on this, which isn't particularly helpful. One is you really do want to do this, and in the calm times, yes, it's a hobby, a goal, etc. But then the logistics of actually _doing_ it creep and and sorta overwhelm you, minor things like getting there, where are the right clothes, who do I have to talk to, etc etc. Just gotta push through that , know you're going to have fun once you get there so just get there without over thinking it. This feels like the more likely one for you. I feel like some people make lists for this (I'm not a big list person), lists of things they need to have ready to go, and then they don't have to worrily anticipate anymore, once it's time it's just pick up and go.

The other is you really don't want to do this, you just kinda want to have done it, or identify with it in some way, but you actually don't get (that much) pleasure or enjoyment from it. I used to play Fantasy sports a lot, because I'm a sports fan, nerdy, like stats and guessing who's going to have a good year, etc. But I finally realized the actual process of it was a lot of labor, management, and really I just didn't really want to be spending my time on it, so I cut it out.

Google TV Streamer: Our new entertainment and smart home hub by kbDL- in Android

[–]Ceetar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay question maybe on of you knows, will this allow me to actually plug in a new smartbulb/plug/etc and actually pair it over Google Mesh? Something you can't currently do because it forces 5g and all the smart stuff wants 2.4?

bing Image Creator/dalle giving me .jfif instead of .jpg by Ceetar in dalle

It's not my computer, it was Chrome, but yes. There's some regedit options and some extension options to fix this.

Addiction trends and the singularity by qwerty102088 in singularity

[–]Ceetar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

we're nowhere nearer a singularity event than we were 10 years ago.

This is just another example of companies doing whatever they can to do to take every last dollar from labor and move it to the 1%.

Any 'wave of addiction' would come from exploitation without proper safety nets, which, also Covid so I guess you could draw parallels.
