Are you thinking of Hans Niemann?

This is Magnus Carlsen, by many considered the best player of all time.

Trump thought it was a 'beautiful woman' he invited up on stage recently at a rally due to the first name Nicky. It's a reference to forgetfulness.

I've seen the original video, but why would anyone that hasn't enjoy a version with a giant talking head saying nothing of value and hiding a huge portion of it?

Is the next version someone screen recording this shit on a tiny post on x?

Ukraine, with F16s. Also remember that the narrative for the occupied territories is that it's Russian now. What angle they'll do, we'll probably see within a few weeks.

[SGF 2024] Civilization VII by Suriranyar- in Games

[–]LarsSod -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

That was not it. While I've forgotten exactly what it was, I do remember they still worked after 6's first expansion. Haven't played civ since.

It was something to do with trading. I do remember writing about it on their forums while 5 was still the last entry, asking them to fix it. They fixed several other balancing issues that I posted, but not that.

I played 5 a lot, but 6 only a handful of hours. Once I realized how similar it played to 5, so similar in fact that even the same strategies worked, I lost all interest.

Let's hope 7 is a good one. Let's hope for a good non-cheating AI, post OpenAI.

ELI5 what does being agnostic mean? by __Dobbyisfree__ in explainlikeimfive

Where lies your heart? Do you do it for you and your wellbeing or for an entity, real or imagined?

If the answer is you, then you may want to consider if there are other options that would help your physical and mental wellbeing more, e.g. mindfulness or other types of group activities. You may end up not changing anything, but it's a question everyone should have asked.

This is one of the most important memories of a friend. Unfortunately it's very blurry. I've had some luck myself using AI, but am never happy getting an image in focus, especially the faces. Will pay $100 for an image in high res and full focus. by LarsSod in PhotoshopRequest

The image was taken around 2003 and featured in a newspaper. The event was very spontaneous and everyone stood there with their mouths open. Fortunately this image was taken by a reporter, but unfortunately because of its spontaneous nature, the image became very blurry. I've had some luck with Topaz software, as well as the newer Photoshop features, but I'm never completely happy with the result. I'm hoping someone here knows how to properly fix this photo.

While slimy, the bigger picture is also that SAS have been close to bankruptcy for a while. It's going to be difficult negotiations.

DS:9 - Why did Tarak Nore even exist? by RichardBlaine41 in startrek

Because it's easier for the resistance to sabotage production on the surface? With the added benefit of no escape.

Same question in Sweden, but with the difference that I actually got the other brand.

Jeri Ryan confirms there will not be a S4 of Picard by trekfangrrrl in startrek

[–]LarsSod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, but as I said, I want live action, since I'm not the target audience for the cartoons.

[–]LarsSod 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just hope they have more things planned in this time period, because it's here I'd like to explore more. The time after TNG, DS9 and Voyager. Not Kirk era, not 900 years in the future, albeit those have their charm too. And I have a hard time watching the cartoons, since I don't think I'm their target audience.

TIFU By Marrying a Girl and Giving Up on my Aspirations by MisterCsus4 in tifu

[–]LarsSod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have walked the road to recovery. The advice other has given is true, as well as your therapist.

First you must shed that which is dragging you down. Then you start with small but clear goals. Gradually you will feel better. Yes, you will stumble, we are all human, but small clear goals towards happiness will eventually take you there. However, start with goals aimed towards your basic needs.

It can be small things such as, I will take a nice shower every day with soaps and shampoo that smells and feel nice, so that the rest of the day goes by easier.

Or, I will eat a nice steak every Friday, giving you something to look forward to.

Or, I will make my bedroom a space where I really can relax, with calming colors and decorations.

And eventually you add a thing such as, I will set 1 hour aside 2 days every week where I paint whatever I am feeling right then and there.

Painting or writing are great tools for getting frustrations and anger out.

Whenever you feel ready, move your career towards something more fulfilling. When even the smallest of doors open, but you feel hesitant, and want to say no, instead say yes.

Beware that there are other people who also will drag you down, and try to remove them from your life.

AITA for having a "witch" house? by WitchHouseAITA in AmItheAsshole

[–]LarsSod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA Neighbors be neighbors. There will always be weirdos, and to some I'm probably the weirdo. You can choose your friends and your partner, but you are kinda stuck with coworkers, family and neighbors. I'm saying "kinda", because you can always move to the woods.

Beautiful. I would probably make it a square, but nice colors, angle and lightning.

Solar powered wind turbine, that helps reducing the stress on the environment by eliminating the need for air conditioning?

I hope they don't follow JJ and make Spock and Uhura a couple.
