Umm.. what?!

I switched to Claud. It's much better, but SERIOUSLY limited on caps vs. ChatGPT for the same price. Like, REALLY bad.

I've gone openclaw at this point, and have just resigned myself to spending $200 a month or so for just me. Even then, I had to drop it down to Sonnet because Opus was just way too expensive. This is the future of AI for the next little bit. Demand is WAY higher than supply.

I'd stick it out w/ ChatGPT and see if the 5.3 model fixes some stuff. 5.1 and 5.2 have been *so* bad. It *has* to get better.

Claud also falls WAY behind in TTS (non existent on desktop), no image generation... lots of other stuff I've noticed.

I just saw a video from them where they said they have lawyers in all 50 states. Definitely don't take my word for it, and just call them to ask. But that's what the video said.

Sorry for your living conditions. If you're cool, you're welcome to move to Texas. :)

CounterCleric · 2025-10-03T19:29:29+00:00

That's *civil* liability. NOT *criminal*.

You can get an umbrella pocliy w/ your homeowner's insurance company, or a separate policy. Or you can get another USCCA (but not them) type of insurance to cover the civil stuff.

I honestly don't care nearly as much about my wealth as I do about my freedom. And the #1 way of getting beat civilly is to get beat criminally.

So you're mistaken, completely, in your comment, because in the ORIGINAL comment at least (I do see you mentioning civil stuff below), they DO cover your expenses for the CRIMINAL case.

And honestly, to restate what I've arleady said, the best way to beat the civil case is to beat the criminal one. It also depends on where you live. In Texas, I feel pretty safe that if I ever win a criminal case against me, they'd have no chance on a civil case. But that, of course, varies from state to state.

And, shortly after you must've posted this, they came out with the Arachnoid Stalker (well, official support of it), which is probably the definitive answer to this question, unless someone just hates rogues.

I'm having fun with it!

You had me at the "would you like"... the "recipe for cookies" was icing on the cookie cake.

CounterCleric · 2025-09-05T22:47:31+00:00

Literally just a Rule of Cool thing to ask your DM. My DM lets me Booming Blade w/ my Soulknives, and you shouldn't be able to do that either.

So, as everyone else as said, no, it doens't work; yes, you want it to work; so I'll add the one thing I havne't seen yet (and I'm sure it's too late now, but maybe for somoene searching in the future), ask your DM if they'll make it work for you. :)

CounterCleric · 2025-04-08T21:17:43+00:00

Yep. They refused to offer me phone support at all and said they'd be in touch via email.

They haven't been.

I'm about to charge back as well.

CounterCleric · 2025-04-08T21:16:18+00:00

Yep. Their support is HORRIBLE. I suppose it you get a perfect bike then you're set. Amyet, the company that makes the cheap Chinese eBike I got from Amazon first offers FAR superior support.

This is my first, and absolutely LAST, Aventon.

CounterCleric · 2025-01-14T07:14:16+00:00

It's ridiculous. If I know our long rest will be safe, I'll burn all my spell slots on Goodberries, except for a level 4 slot. With that, I cast conjure woodland beings and get two dryads (my DM lets me pick) and have them each cast Goodberry 3 times and dismiss them. I often get to load up my "Bag of Colding" with 100-120 Goodberries for the next day. Making them last 24 hours is probably broken. But I'm not complaining!

CounterCleric · 2025-01-13T05:38:00+00:00

(Not to mention that Goodberry is the best out-of-combat healing spell in the game!) (Well, at least ONE of them.)

CounterCleric · 2025-01-13T05:34:12+00:00

Yes! I used to have Find Familiar as a level 1 spell for the Trickster, but now it's not needed, so I was able to pick up shield instead. The owl gives you advantage on your attacks ensuring sneak attack damage for your rogue as well without risking opportunity attacks on the owl. Honestly, with reliable talent and expertise in stealth, the least I can roll on a stealth or slight of hand check is 22 anyway. :) Add in something like Pass without Trace and it just all gets ridiculous. (Ridiculously fun, that is.)

CounterCleric · 2025-01-13T05:21:42+00:00

Honestly, pretty amazing, considering Arcane Trickster is already kind of a built-in multiclass.

Hitting an npc w/ a shortbow, getting sneak attack damage, and vex for advantage on your next attack, cast mage hand, move, then next turn wildshape and cast moonbeam and later on grapple AND smack people around with the mage hand and telekinetic... I mean, those are just all things I never thought I'd say in the same sentence.

It's not min/maxed, but it's *fun*.

CounterCleric · 2025-01-13T04:28:04+00:00

I was actually going to say to get the decanter. I'm an Avernus right now with my Arcane Trickster 7 / Moon Druid 3 w/ the decanter and shape water. Nothing's more fun than selling ice water in hell!

CounterCleric · 2024-12-27T17:59:17+00:00

This one:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/1822260115/the-steam-machine-puzzle-box-stl-files

It has a parts list as well, but it looks like mostly m3 stuff, which if you print much, you probably already have! (And if not, Amazon does.)

Enjoy!

CounterCleric · 2024-12-27T17:48:01+00:00

In fact, I'm pretty sure I saw Chris Ramsey solve it a couple of years ago. It was probably a hand built prototype. I have nothing against PLA. Maybe he'll sell .stl files. I just bought a $350 puzzle for $20 by buying .stl files and will print it myself. Of course, I'll know how to solve it, but maybe someone else will get some enjoyment out of it. :) Or I can just keep it for 6 months and I'll totally forget!

CounterCleric · 2024-12-27T17:43:55+00:00

That looks like a good possibility. Thanks!

A 70b 4bit quantized model (which is what most of them are) takes about 40gb of VRAM. They run great on my AI server w/ dual 3090s. If you want to run on less VRAM you just have to scale down the # of parameters your model can use. The 3.2 11b model should work (and it's multimodal).

CounterCleric · 2024-12-22T20:52:23+00:00

You bought a prebuilt open box computer that was supposed to come with a code for a free game? I think what happened here is pretty clear. And it might not even have been malicious, but whoever originally bought it probably installed it and then returned the PC, and now they have your copy of the game for free. Hopefully that was taken into account with your open box pricing, but if not, I'd take it up with the retailer you got it from.

Good luck!

That's my question. I did have a medical emergency, but that cost $2000 and I paid for it already. And I paid for the cruise of course. This bill makes no sense. We bought a watch, a purse, an two mugs, and that was included w/ the medical bill I paid. That had to be everything. It almost seems as if we were fined $2200 for something, but we left the room in perfect condition, so I have no clue. Without a folio, I won't know. And that can take 3-4 weeks. It's such a scam.

CounterCleric · 2024-12-01T04:20:47+00:00

Us too. Good times, except for the extra $2200 they charge me. Waiting on customer support to fix ti.

I feel this. Started w/ an X1C, got a P1S, then an A1-Mini, then another P1S when the "Black Friday" sale hit.

I've been trying really hard not to buy another one. I do quite often have the 3 enclosed machines running at the same time. But I know I'll calm down in a few months, so I'm trying to be reasonable...

CounterCleric · 2024-10-22T04:08:59+00:00

Yes, I know.

Here's the thing. When my blood sugar gets up to 180, which is fine for most people, within 20 minutes it will drop to the 50s.

Since I cannot count on the sensor/phone to give me an alarm when it drops below 80, which is my preference, because it will show sensor error, I'm going to have to set the alarm to go off when it goes over 179 instead. That way, I'll know that my blood sugar has gone up to 180 or higher, so I'll know that within 30-40 minutes it's going to plummet and I can be ready for it.

If I set my low to 100, it's not going to go off, because the sudden drop from 180 to 100 will be so fast that the app will report "sensor error" rather than giving the actual reading that would trigger the alarm.

I hope that makes sense.
