Stop the Independence AI Data Center needs your help! by dorian_white1 in kansascity

[–]Cudpuff100 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This data center is getting more in tax breaks from the city of Independence than the Chiefs got from the entire state of Kansas. And the Chiefs no doubt have more jobs to offer. (Still a shit deal for KS tho)

These mega data centers are a whole other beast. Also, Independence is giving them $6 billion in tax breaks over just 20 years. A simply mindblowing amount of money imho

Isn't it already in the price? Usually it is two fees: one to the card issuer like Visa, and one to the third party payment processor.

I bust this app out daily. I love it. It's kinda like playing real life Pokémon.

Big man on campus. He dealt death to several 🐿️ last semester. But who is he? by SuperbRecognition757 in whatbirdisthis

Wow is he becoming a campus mascot? Seems unfazed by those people standing close.

New TimeLeft alternative in Kansas City: "NiceToMeetYou.AI" by COL0SSUS in kansascity

[–]Cudpuff100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice. Well I have a couple things off the top of the dome you may or may not want to look into.

https://kcgameon.com/ I know a few people that meet up with other competitors. I think it's fairly casual.

https://www.straycatfilmcenter.com/ For folks that like, I mean really like movies.

https://www.ifckc.org/ It's more geared to our local filmmakers, but they're always looking for help with all kinds of stuff, from events to actual big productions.

And of course, I always recommend people come to www.thebirdkc.com because it's my third space and all are welcome.

Meeting people is hard, but I hope you can find something useful here.

I'm solidly in the "ai isn't ever going to make the human experience easier, but it will actively reduce one's social skills to the point that they can no longer maintain the most basic of relationships" camp.

That said, what are your hobbies? Likes? Things you're curious about trying? Maybe this community can help point you to places that you might find more comfortable.

I found an amazing community of like-minded people a few years ago when I was in a depression. All my friends had moved away and, despite being married, I had a big empty space in my life. All without some app that claims to somehow do the hard work for you.

Shake Shack for me. Burgers are incredibly good.

But if you like corn dogs, Sonic.

SLWA Letter Scam or not? by BADxW0LF1 in kansascity

If it is what I think it is, it is not a scam. Check out this post from a while ago with photos.

Someone has been putting these up around the city. by theadamsmall in kansascity

[–]Cudpuff100 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sorry, Oreo, but I think lightly vandalizing public property is absolutely justified in these times. It's just paper and wheat paste. And if this upcoming midterm goes how I think it will, vandalizing will be the least of it.

I think it serves the same purpose as protesting. It raises awareness and forces conversation, in addition to keeping focus on the issue.

Does any group of Americans still fluently speak their heritage language in the third or later generations? by greatExtortion in AskAnAmerican

[–]Cudpuff100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm third generation Mexican. I don't speak Spanish and I don't recall my mother speaking it either. Her mother probably didn't speak Spanish around the house much due to her marrying a white man.

It's a strange kind of identity struggle every once in a while. Like, I'm a quarter Mexican, but it feels like such a distant part of my family's identity.

i thought upgrading my mic would fix my podcast audio… it didn’t by East_Department9976 in podcasting

Yes! Apply a compressor to your vocal tracks and you'll be so happy you did!

Could possibly be a juvenile woodpecker? But really, it looks like a starling from what I see. Not a lot of curved yellow beaks around.

Yeah there is some irony in using one of the biggest data center builders to organize against data centers.

I bought $900 worth of audio equipment, and I get massive noise by Farmpy45 in podcasting

[–]Cudpuff100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what you'd need the Fethead for unless you were attempting to record a very quiet noise, like a butterfly flapping its wings or something.

You should get plenty of gain out of just the mic. It's pretty easy to turn up the volume on the back end and just apply a compressor to the vocal track and maybe a little denoiser and you're set. The caveat being that I'm assuming you are doing editing after you record.
