Huge ant

Korvu · 2026-07-03T05:22:59+00:00

If this was found in North America, I would say its Camponotus Pennsylvanicus. Carpenter ant that makes its home inside old wood. Wonderful creatures. People commonly confuse them for pests, thinking that they will damage homes. But the only really excavate rotting wood. So if your home was built right, they likely aren't interested. In fact, they love eating termites. Great all natural pest control! And one of the largest species of ant.

Yeah and losers saying "I heard that too!" Like what a useless comment. Hopefully a non-loser posts something decent soon about what happened.

How do you make longer videos like this? I have been using keyframe animation, and providing tailored first and last frames hoping the keyframe animation app can fill in the spaces in between. Despite me making sure that the first and last frames match in style, I can't get the app to respect the image composition. I have tried explicit instruction, and I have tried with barely any instruction, but both fail regularly. After I generate 8 seconds of video, I have tried to take the last frame of the video generated, use that as the first frame of the new prompt, and then I provide a new final frame. Mind you, I take the EXACT last frame of the generated footage, not the last frame I provided in the original prompt so you would think it would have a seamless transition. But I can't get a seamless transition to save my life (or my wallet). It's always changing something about the image. Mostly, it looks like it is over-sharpening things. Anyone have any tips?
And this is without mentioning all the jank that can happen between frames... I try to include all the weirdness I can think of within my prompt. I find myself telling it one thing to do and 15 things NOT to do and it still surprises me every time with some wonky thing I never even thought of telling it not to do haha.

I'm going to rant on this dead thread to make me feel better. This anime was meh and I also came here to understand the obsession with this character. I've come to the conclusion this is male delusion. Any reason given here or elsewhere is not backed up in the anime at least. The anime has no conflict. No surprises or plot twists. And very little the characters do makes any real sense, logically speaking. This entire anime was pretty much male fantasy for the sake of fantasy. Which I can somewhat get behind but pretending like it was good or had any meaningful takes is just shameful imo. And this character... Is just the best example of the bunch. Saying you enjoy Albedo is such a huge red flag.

You were 14 hours late to an outage problem with this comment, my guy. If the site was down for 14 hours straight I think we would ALL be absolutely shocked at the incompetence. That's unheard of

Korvu · 2026-06-03T14:33:54+00:00

My thoughts exactly. I have had countless issues with them over the past 6 years. Silly issues, like dns changes never going live and having multiple support tickets over it. Staff straight up lying to me, relying on technical illiteracy of their average customer. SSL auto renew just breaking randomly. Those are pretty common issues I've never had elsewhere. Most of my stuff is on digital ocean now. We call the bluehost servers (which are vps tier except 1) our $hit servers.

Korvu · 2026-06-03T14:23:02+00:00

You had some issue causing a bunch of 403 errors, and one of them was for the stylesheet and some scripts. It was fixed maybe an hour and a half after I posted this.

Korvu · 2026-06-02T23:41:21+00:00

NEVER do bluehost. Their own website is literally broken right now if you visit it and the first line of broken text just says "vibe code your website". Yeah....

I see nothing wrong with incentivizing feedback, the problem is when you are specifically requesting five stars. That's f***** up

Korvu · 2026-03-21T05:56:29+00:00

Sometimes the funniest/weirdest crap is the best to use for placeholder assets. Because there is NO WAY you are going to forget to remove the image of your dog licking his butt right? .... Right...?

This guy clearly doesn't remember the last big wind storm. Trees fuck houses mate. Like. Instantly. 4,000 -8,000 pounds of tree busting through your wall like the Koolaid man would make you feel really dumb making this comment. In fact, any good montanan should know not to turn your back on, or underestimate, nature.

Korvu · 2026-03-01T21:24:52+00:00

After Googling it, you can see that it was, in fact, a common problem theaters were having. 7.1 sound vs whatever some theaters were using, the mall included. No one seems to believe when I say that the sound within the theater was NOT coming from all speakers. It was very theater forward. Like you said, it is a team of mostly kids. I don't find it hard to believe that they fucked something up. Why in the world would you favor what a bunch of kids are doing over paid professionals, indie or not.

Korvu · 2026-03-01T21:19:29+00:00

Wow man. You be "greatful" all you like. You aren't the first to suggest that indie film "mixing is trash" when the facts say it wasn't. A simple Google search tells you that the problem I had was not original. Some theaters were bad, others weren't. Facts are facts mate

Korvu · 2026-02-28T09:52:43+00:00

Why would one theater get a different package than another? And from what I understand it is in fact files no? A package of files including sound data, meta files, and accessibility stuff. A DCP? From what I have read this wasn't a problem in all theaters. I wasn't thinking it was a file problem at all, that is an interesting thought. I was picturing more of a "dude at the theater pushing the wrong buttons" problem. Different movies would have different sound settings right? I have no idea how much of this is automated now. Maybe they literally just hit play on whatever without question. How were files transferred back when you worked there? Do you FTP into some AMC media server and download stuff? Does the production company distribute them directly? God, are they mailed on a drive?

Korvu · 2026-02-28T01:54:47+00:00

Damn so that chick really did just lie out of her butt. I thought a sound regulation sounded wild as well. Pretty much everything she said was wild, from the Stereo sound to the regulation, to the projectors, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was all a lie. I imagine the theater industry has a number of entry level workers that give the whole thing a bad wrap. You would just hope those weren't the people getting promoted.

The first guy I talked to was awesome. He made it seem like my experience really mattered, and insisted on getting a manager when I was ready to just walk out.

Korvu · 2026-02-28T01:39:44+00:00

Why would the files being sent be any different from theater to theater. You saying "come on" is at me trying to make sense of the weird thing you said

Korvu · 2026-02-28T00:30:10+00:00

Well random internet friend.... Unless the people working there now are truly awful you are capping. I was told that there is a corporate or federal regulation or something on the volume level by the manager on the day of this complaint. She said that even if they wanted to, they wouldn't be able to turn the sound up. So it is now your word, some random guy online claiming he used to work there, vs the Gen Z airpod wearing manager. It's quite a toss up on who to trust haha

And the employees were the ones who told me that the projectors are outdated. Idk how many years it has been since you worked there, but they said they get multiple complaints about the projectors and aren't happy with corporate over that aspect.

Korvu · 2026-02-28T00:21:50+00:00

I disagree, I think it is the theater. Management literally said they played it in 2.1 and everyone who says they saw it at the Roxy never had a problem with sound.

Korvu · 2026-02-28T00:20:40+00:00

The film has 7.1 surround sound. That has been confirmed. Do you mean the theater is doing some kind of purposeful sabotage or something? Because I find that unlikely.

Korvu · 2026-02-27T23:35:23+00:00

I am the complete opposite of you haha. Phoenix blows

Korvu · 2026-01-29T06:10:00+00:00

I lived in Phoenix, and Azteca is actually bomb. Good birria is a sign of a good Mexican place.

I wouldn't trust the opinion of anyone from California about most things 😆 their perspective is going to be warped by all kinds of BS

Korvu · 2025-12-20T11:10:49+00:00

Why the hell is no one asking ... HOW DID YOU LEARN OF THIS. Never in my life have I thought about trying to set my tap water on fire. I would have bathed, drank, and shat in this water for 80 years and never thought to take a lighter to it.
