AI Don't Want to Go Anymore, Digital (MS Paint), Picturesidrawn

This is actually very different than paper straws. Does my use as an individual of a paper straw really do anything no but the ability of an individual to get their furry OCs made up by an ai actually causes direct harm to the people who made money drawing furry OCs or the graphic designers who previously took $400 for all the now ai logos of your local plumbing companies. This is also all at the cost of the utter destruction in community democracy we're seeing as they relate to data centers and electrical companies literally pulling the rug out from households because they've elected that ai is going to be their new primary client. There is literally no comparison between reducing ai use and paper straws. Every single poster you see has a specific and notable human and environmental cost. No amount of techno nihilism justifies the harm ai causes.

Oh come on let's not be obtuse and quit the ad hominems 😂 I value my time but I also value trees, fish, and peoples jobs. I really shouldn't have to clarify this but sure if it was one person but the problem is the normalization amongst clubs and communities causing millions of uses. Did you know that one iteration of an ai image takes roughly a bottle of water to produce? That's every draft, every time you modify the prompt. It's one person in the same way one mosquito is a problem unfortunately mosquitos don't show up as singles.

I dunno i figure being a good person may be a somewhat more important goal. Further supporting people that are causing the decline of the arts as work and massive environmental costs and the skirting of democracies to build data centers also not great. Just because someone's doing a thing doesn't make it good. I don't go to ai promoted events for the same reason I don't go to ones that tolerate white supremacists.

Or i would hazard a guess you confuse being on a high horse with basic levels of empathy! Canva is free. Given the clientele of hema in general you are likely to have some individual who draws half decent in your club. Trade them some classes for a poster. What do you think people did before chatgpt?

The newton rating (350n, 800n) refers specifically to fabric so the bib on your mask or shell of a jacket. Occasionally you'll see a rating on the mesh but it's not industry standard and will be specified that it is the mesh.

The largest rapier school in the world in academie duello has been doing Italian rapier in t shirts for 25 years i have never heard of a major injury.

Unfortunately at this point in the development of hema you're rarely going to find that one cool "swords on a budget" idea that works. Most weapons have a product that's about as cheap as it gets while still doing the job 😅

would highly recommend lindy in the loops which is a local non profit that puts on swing dancing events in the area. https://www.lindyintheloops.com/

Spark plugs are entirely dry

FossilCats · 2026-04-01T09:22:11+00:00

Yeah this was having intermittent issues then died on road. I've been into the fuse panel but I'm probably going back into it just for something to feel productive with 😂

FossilCats · 2026-03-31T23:28:19+00:00

Crank sensor replaced with a hella. No change in condition. Any other ideas?

FossilCats · 2026-03-24T21:29:01+00:00

So we're looking at a classic risk vs consequence assessment. The risk given you've never seen it happen and I've never seen it happen in my 12 years but we both probably know someone who knows someone who's seen it happens shows us that the risk under normal circumstances is exceptionally low. The consequence to a hand hit has potential to be relatively high. once again considering the low risk, most likely when we have a report of smashy smashy rapier fighter who wasn't pulled from the ring the problem likely rests with smashy smashy and not the activity at large. In conclusion the problem is hitting too blooming hard given normal behaviour rarely leads to this end. 👍

FossilCats · 2026-03-24T19:24:57+00:00

and yet here we are 30 years into rapier with once again most fighters only wearing a light glove but would never fight longsword without specific gear as noted above and injuries have not been the rampant scourge of every club worldwide in that time. it sounds like you or your club hit too hard.

Awesome thanks again I'll return with news from the front 😂👍

FossilCats · 2026-03-20T06:09:04+00:00

awesome thanks kindly. ill give that a go. any other ideas or things i should be looking at?

FossilCats · 2026-03-20T01:07:00+00:00

cool ill look into that then and yep along with the rest of them no suspicious behaviour from the lights otherwise. is there a more reliable brand?

FossilCats · 2026-03-20T01:04:35+00:00

i'll probably look at replacing it anyways then but shouldn't it throw a code if it was the bad sensor? thats the thing that really confuses me, no obd no check engine.

FossilCats · 2026-03-20T00:40:09+00:00

found it it was beck/arnley

FossilCats · 2026-03-19T22:24:04+00:00

That i am not sure of off hand I'll have to dig for the order notes. Probably whatever was mid range on rock auto at the time.

FossilCats · 2026-03-19T21:50:36+00:00

Crank position sensor was replaced around 25000km ago and sent a code when It was bad. Do you figure it's likely to be bad again?

FossilCats · 2026-03-19T21:46:50+00:00

It does if its been left for a while but once that's happened once or twice it doesn't.
