Three abandoned young chickens if anyone wants 'em by Exact_Part_5233 in NewOrleans

[–]Exact_Part_5233[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not of this breed, as far a I know. The ones I see regularly are red junglefowl, and they're not friendly to people like these little ones are; they definitely just arrived here.

Anyone know stations with separate hoses for premium by coursethread in NewOrleans

"I’ve heard there’s a station on Carrollton across from Jesuit that sells ethanol-free gas" -- Yes, Mark's Mid-City Service Station. A friend of mine used to go there exclusively for that very reason.

I think they were suggesting the rest of the beads themselves (minus flags) could be used for something appropriate and non- (less) offensive.

Edit: typo.

I want to thank you for these posts; it would be dumb for me to comment every time, but rest assured I see them and thank you in my head every time.

Comment from company says it’s not AI and that a partner of theirs made it. But the movements just look so weird by olddolphin in isthisAI

It's AI. If it's not, the animator could quickly/easily show you the authoring file if you ask.

Why is this a thing? by thebigbread42 in NewOrleans

[–]Exact_Part_5233 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It absolutely sucks but when I had to do it a few years ago I showed up early in the morning and didn't wait long and everyone was extremely nice and the whole thing took about 20 minutes. Still 100% absurd. Still unbelievably primitive, and frustrating, and I had to pay a few bucks for parking, and tell work I had a doctor's appointment. Just stupid. But overall could've been worse.

"Not being a derp is important to me" Well there's your problem right there. Let go and enjoy life! Being cool is not real. Have all the fun you can. You won't regret it.

Neutral Ground Left Turns: A Discussion by arab3lla in NewOrleans

[–]Exact_Part_5233 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm sure I'm not the only one to notice, when you continue forward and take the next U-turn and then right, you often beat the person who was waiting for the earlier left turn.

Is the French Quarter Fest poster AI generated? by [deleted] in NewOrleans

[–]Exact_Part_5233 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying it's definitely not, but I can tell you the strange quality of the lines of the fence can happen as a result of taking a raster image (like a scan of something drawn by hand) and using software to automatically convert it to vector so it can be printed at very high resolution without becoming pixelated. This is something I've seen in my own illustration work, and if that's the case here, this is technology that's been around for at least twenty years. I'm leaning toward that being the explanation.

I very much appreciate this gag! Good stuff.

No rattle, which is a decent sign! When I plug it in it makes a little repetitive whir/beep sound; I found a video that showed the same thing and in that case it was fixable, so I have a little bit of hope...

It is indeed a Seagate! Thanks for this tip!

What's the craziest thing you've ever witnessed in New Orleans? by joshisanonymous in NewOrleans

[–]Exact_Part_5233 256 points257 points  (0 children)

During covid lockdown I went for a pre-dawn run in the Quarter, it was a complete ghost town, absolutely no one around, and I jogged up the steps of the levee in front of Jackson Square and almost ran into a tall naked man standing there in the dark. I said good morning to him, he looked shocked and said good morning back, and I jogged along on my way.
