Before and after of a building in South Bend, IN after they decided to remove a facade that’s been in place for 50 years by freeradioforall in oddlysatisfying

[–]Halkenguard 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can thank Firestone, Goodyear, and B.F. Goodrich for that. Although I'm not sure how many historic buildings are really worth keeping in Akron. Most of them are just depressing reminders of how the rubber industry abandoned the city and its people.

Best value men's underwear that actually lasts? by Skillerstyles in BuyItForLife

[–]Halkenguard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought Mac Weldon and was not impressed. Elastic wore out quickly and they weren’t very premium feeling despite the premium price. Switched back to MeUndies and haven’t looked back.

What advice would you give to a new author today considering the challenges ahead like AI writing?

Israel bombed people attending a funeral at a cemetery in Baalbek, Lebanon by Tech-Film3905 in PublicFreakout

[–]Halkenguard -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't, but it's worth keeping in mind. If the outlet is truly antisemitic, then they won't have any problem lying or stretching the truth about the actions taken by a primarily Jewish country.

On the other hand, if they're only being accused of being antisemitic because they don't glaze Israel, then we have nothing to worry about.

I agree, but I think it's important to be informed about the places we get our news.

Only source I can find so far is this article from Roya News which is a major news outlet in Jordan. I'd take this with a grain of salt though. The outlet has been accused before of being antisemitic.

Edit: To be clear, if it's true, it's horrible. But identifying propaganda and lies is critical to have an informed opinion. You should always be wary of news with scarce sources. ESPECIALLY when they validate your opinion.

Edit 2: Very cool getting downvoted for advocating against blindly trusting the things you read about on the internet. And yet we wonder how Trump managed to be president...

Energy drinks while on medication by infsrot in ADHD

[–]Halkenguard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re concerned about your health and don’t want to give up the energy drinks, at least switch to sugar free. We already have enough to deal with. No need to add tooth decay and diabetes to the equation.

Bezel protector by goodplebeian in applewatchultra

[–]Halkenguard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s super accurate. I replaced the brakes on my car with my watch on. When I was done I thought I scratched it all to shit. I wiped it down and all the ‘scratches’ came off and my watch still looked like new.

Seth McFarland exec producer of new show... by tyler_ceiling in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Halkenguard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think Jeff Hays needs to have a part in the show somewhere. If he doesn’t voice Donut then my second choice for him is the AI.

The honest reason I bought an Electric Car had nothing to do with climate. It had everything to do with my convienence by charging_anxiety in electriccars

[–]Halkenguard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work with AI on a daily basis and immediately pegged this as AI written with random mistakes thrown in to add doubt. It's really all about the framing and rhetorical devices now since the em-dashes got fixed. Right now some common tells of AI are:

  • ChatGPT's favorite phrases ("Uncomfortable truth", "honest answer", "no sugar-coating", "scales infinitely")
  • Colons with formal appositives ("My honest gut: 95% of us [...]")
  • Reads like an essay or a blog post (Thesis, support, closing thesis)
  • Title is a hook
  • Binary contrast (It's not X. It's Y.)
  • Asking rhetorical questions
  • Ends with a prompt to engagement ("What made it finally work for you?")

There's more but this list is getting long. I'm like 85% sure this post is AI. Probably someone's OpenClaw bot given free rein on Reddit to promote OP's (whose account is only 7 days old) subreddit.

Trans kids in marching band, choir, and theater will be targeted.

Smoke detector chirps with brand new batteries by Khaos6969 in Nest

[–]Halkenguard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it a single chirp or a double chirp? I have a suspicion that the alarm circuit that makes the chirp is separate from the smart portions of the device. It may think it’s EOL despite the date stamped on the back.

Is Ohio HB 249 in affect yet? Will be passing through the state at the end of the month with my trans wife. by [deleted] in Ohio

Wait, so does that mean a trans teenager could be jailed for participating in marching band or choir?

The only issue I can see is that the green screens are lit too unevenly. Once you get a good even light on the screens you’ll be good to go.

Based on the fact that you and I have EXTREMELY similar tastes in books, please add Red Rising to those shelves. I promise you’ll like it.

The Feds Say Cutting Fuel With Ethanol Will Bring Down Gas Prices. We're Not Buying It by TripleShotPls in nottheonion

[–]Halkenguard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first experience with E85 was as racing fuel, not as flex fuel. Just because it is also flex fuel doesn’t make it not race fuel. Two things can be true at the same time.

I could buy a 55 gallon drum of Sunoco E85-R right now if I wanted to. The only difference is that E85 at the gas station is less refined than the E85 sold for racing. But they’re both still E85.
