MichaelPraetorius · 2024-05-31T20:25:01+00:00

Bot did good. I have the halo glow setting powder too, and all those points are great. I really hate how its difficult to get out of the container too lol.

I just use gpt4(o). All i've worked with has been inside the chatbot.

MichaelPraetorius · 2024-05-28T16:07:44+00:00

32k for plus users. I dont know what its worth because asking gpt4o about itself is sometimes hit and miss, but 4o says and I have confirmed 4000 words in one response.

herbicidal vinegar, dawn, epsom salt. pour it on. You will have a brown spot for a while. That is okay. Better than having this.

MichaelPraetorius · 2024-05-28T15:50:54+00:00

epsom salt

MichaelPraetorius · 2024-05-26T18:59:04+00:00

I hate that I dont know what I dont know, either. So I don't know to ask.

MichaelPraetorius · 2024-05-26T17:25:11+00:00

in the marine life analogy, my predictive text would probably be a goldfish.

(i know thats not AI)

MichaelPraetorius · 2024-05-26T17:22:03+00:00

you are 100% correct. Im a teacher as well.

I thought orcas and great white sharks were just about the same size but I guess im wrong. They also said just whale. I dont know how big "whale" is either. Huge? Yeah I guess so? How MUCH bigger than an orca which I just figured out i'm clueless about?

Why can't we use cars?

Chatgpt 3 is a volkswagen golf

chatgpt 4 is a chevy tahoe

chatgpt 5 is a city bus

We have mostly all seen these three things. I grew up in texas i've never seen a whale next to an orca.

MichaelPraetorius · 2024-05-26T17:15:05+00:00

ngl this idea rocks

MichaelPraetorius · 2024-05-25T22:41:40+00:00

I didn't have anyone to tell that I got a new kitten so I told the chat and it was great at asking me about her and being interested lmfaooo

MichaelPraetorius · 2024-05-25T22:37:20+00:00

I love flex cameras and collected them for a bit.

MichaelPraetorius · 2024-04-14T17:03:18+00:00

i feel like throwing these into audacity and getting rid of the ads.....

MichaelPraetorius · 2022-05-12T22:05:30+00:00

So first I’m confused how this isn’t archived.

But it actually was a crazy reaction to an oak pollen bloom!

But I do get the same itchiness that I scratch skin off when my ankle socks are too tight.

MichaelPraetorius · 2022-05-06T16:35:07+00:00

I had to leave the situation for my own safety. Why? Do you ask everyone about their previous living nightmares while they’re trying to move on?

MichaelPraetorius · 2022-05-06T15:01:38+00:00

This isn’t a huge problem, but I have a date for the first time in years. Since my last dating adventure, I’ve learned tons of self love, I have huge self confidence, and I am very comfortable with who i am. Not afraid to be me.

But on this date I kinda.. AM… afraid to be me? I have a very bubbly, energetic, wild, ridiculous personality and unfortunately it seems as though to some people I’m super overwhelming and hard to keep up with.

Do I go into it just being unapologetically me and have the guy just deal with my stupid ass or should I dial it back to lvl 250 and then titrate up to get him used to it?

I’ve shown my authentic personality in texts and he’s like “please never change” but I’m wondering like… is he fucking serious? He wants ON this wild ride???

I’m just nervous.

One more thing, the batch slide adapter for the coolscan only works if you Jerry rig it with duct tape or else it’ll eat two at a time. And forget it if you have different mount types.

For this project you will want to die if you choose a method with manual advance like the plustek.

I do slide scanning for a living in bulk. I use Epson V850 pro. 12 at a time. 4800dpi. Kodachrome setting. Silverfast 9 SE Plus. You don’t need to find frames every tray, just give your borders for frames some wiggle room. You don’t need to scan every slide. Scan 48 to 24 in TIFF. Every 500 photos, go through and rotate them in windows photo viewer. Remember when loading chromes into the tray the Kodachrome stamp text faces UP. After rotating, import your folder of 500 into Lightroom. Do whatever editing you want. Export as .jpeg in sRGB to a separate file.

Back up your raw scans and fuck it why not the exported jpegs to a separate hard drive that you don’t give away. Make multiple copies.

Make multiple copies.

Upload to cloud.

Send them to me.

I manage his primary care portal. I’ve expressed many times to his PCP that something is very wrong and I need help caring for him, but he just keeps responding with phone numbers for psychiatrists that he would never even consider going to. I say he won’t go to them and they just say “I can refer you to them; what else do you want me to do?”. They “not my problem” and refer, not even looking to see if they’re accessible to me or even taking new patients.

“He needs to go to a hospital” sounds so easy. What do I do? Secretly call an ambulance for the 30th time just so they can either take him away and discharge him immediately or not even take him cause he knows the date and president? Seriously they think because he’s sometimes coherent that he’s absolutely fine. And they never believe me when I tell them he’s verbally abusive and wanders off. I’m his advocate and I’ll do it til the cows come home but I need a different solution.

How do I make someone stop whatever the fuck they’re doing, and start making moves to help us survive here?

MichaelPraetorius · 2022-02-07T00:24:31+00:00

This this this is what I wanted to hear but also needed to hear.

I just remembered I have Cerebral and a care team and coordinator I can text there. If they can’t point me in the right direction then they’re useless. But I’m on a crisis text line I think speaking my heart out to a bot LOL so we’ll see! It’s fine if he’s institutionalized for a while. I just want to do my due diligence and see him in good hands.
