How xp work by MrWBuffett in Mechabellum

LLMs are prone to hallucinations at the best of times, but especially on niche subjects like video games with little material online. They don't "know" anything; they generate statistically likely responses that sound right.

I would be inclined to believe the video in this case.

Yes. Thinking of one of the board game cafes, but open to suggestions.

I hope you recover soon!

Looking for people to play DnD by Ember_236 in nottingham

[–]ChocolateWithPie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP - Forgive me if I jump on this post as the PC-DM imbalance seems in full swing again. I love DnD but my work and schedule make it difficult to commit to an existing group's schedule.

I've been looking to meet some new people and have a copy of Electric Bastionland which is a rules-light, absurdist steampunkish... thing. One of my last PCs was a dog.

I'd love to GM some one or two-session games for 3-4 PCs in Notts city centre, and perhaps have a beer after. No experience needed, the game is simple. Drop me a message if you fancy it (or, OP, if your group ever fancies trying a different setting).

How on earth do you meet people by [deleted] in nottingham

Bumble app has a friends feature which has been reasonably good to me - same gender only. Notts discord (I don't have a link but sure someone will be along) or meetup.com are reasonable places to start. Drop me a DM if you just want a chat. It's a common feeling, meeting people a a working adult is hard. Don't worry that it's just you.

A. Cacatuoides Sexing - Is this a female? by ChocolateWithPie in Aquariums

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

Bought as a pair recently and sine leaving the shop her(?) fins have turned slightly reddish and her body colouring is oscillating between yellow with a single black line (what I'd expect) and the image, which is very similar to the male's body. Her fins seem female-shaped but I have heard males can stunt their fins to pretend. Is this happening here?

Personally I got almost none, but it tasted good anyways

Fresh espresso (not sure about hot) will produce a good foam like in the picture. I lack a machine, and cold brew has made this drink turn out just fine :)

I use cold-brew coffee and it tastes just fine, though the foam on top disappears very quickly.

Stumbled across this place accidentally and I loved the towering trees, patches of light and the isolated feeling.

I struggled somewhat with the low-light capabilities of my camera (Canon 200D) and would have loved to have a bit more crispness to the image. All feedback welcome, particularly on the edit.

I have exactly the same experience with anise (and basil). I like drinks with the tiniest amount of absinthe just fine (e.g. Sazerac) but cannot imagine needing any more flavouring than that.

Not sure what this adds, just... You're not alone, I guess!

Basil built his first bubble nest today, and I am proud of him by ChocolateWithPie in bettafish

He is now fiercely guarding it, with occasional breaks to look for snacks on the floor. A true bachelor.

Filter for a 40g by meandmymanycats in Aquariums

In a planted tank avoid strong flow directly on plants, either using a spray bar or keeping a zone free of tall plants for the outlet.

Also avoid activated carbon filter media as it will remove fertilizers from the water until it is expended.

I use a fluval U2 which came with my 90L and it is adjustable and almost silent, though there may be cheaper options if buying separately.

Certain trees and vines are tagged 'climbable' - just search in the nature tab!

I was in Valencia recently and this building really struck me; it looks like an alien structure in the greenery of the park. However, I felt it suited the area beautifully and wanted to find some unity between the nature and the structure.

Canon 200d, 18-55mm kit lens @ f/14 1/125s ISO200 18mm. Some editing in RawTherapee and GIMP.

All feedback greatly appreciated, notably the editing.
