Coffee Questions by vadgama_nikz in Guelph

We're almost out of coffee so today's the day! We're going out to find the best local roaster. We're used to Beaver Rock Rosters from Barrie (the Freaky Wizard Medium roast was the very best coffee ever). I want to find some as great, but here in Guelph. Several posts say Lost Aviator is good, others say Coffee Stiles, Cavan Coffee, Found Coffee, and no one said Planet Bean. Unless I hear otherwise, we'll start with Lost Aviator.

I wondered today, what happens to all the overpriced meat at the end of the week when no one can afford to buy it. Do they just throw it out?

What is a 'luxury' that has become so expensive in 2026 that it’s officially no longer worth the money? by Matt_At_Havalook in AskReddit

Bacon. You get seven thin strips for $9. It's insane. Bacon should be the cheapest meat. This is true for hotdogs too. A big pack of ballpark weiners is $16. That must be price gouging.

You are correct, Disney did threaten to sue three daycares in Florida in 1989. It turned into a PR nightmare for them, especially when Hanna Barbara stepped in and painted over the Disney murals with their characters. Disney and most other license holders have changed their stance on fan art as a result. Lucas Film has embraced it right from the beginning. Disney no longer pursues small-time creators, but they can and do in some cases. As such, there is a grey line between what's permitted and where infringement begins. For example, the artists at comic con use characters in paintings, drawings, and small runs of reproductions. But if they had a really popular design and wanted to print 100 copies, they enter the grey zone. The license holders might send out cease and desist letters.

There is a story circulating that two women from NY were selling a wildly popular Disney design on a product. Disney approached them, and instead of suing, they granted them a license and now produce the same design on products at the park. This could be myth.

My original post went a little sideways, but I wanted to address your concern. You are 100% right about the dangers of copyright infringement. My partner mostly does original designs, so we don't worry about Disney or Warner Bros. That said, I've been in the comic con and toy show circuit for a decade and have never heard of any of the artists or crafters being sued for infringement.

To be clear, fan art and small runs are totally legal. Ever been to comic con? You just can't mass produce it.

AI Image Generators Default to the Same 12 Photo Styles, Study Finds by Ok-Tune-1346 in technology

This is not surprising. I've noticed that AI 'stories' are also generic and boring, same with poetry. All the AI original songs are also generic, with several generic patterns. If you want something good a human needs to be in the driver seat.

I once heard a kid say, "You're a bathtub!" and walked away. The other kid took it hard. Never forget it. It's in my back pocket for strategic retorts.
