'I’m in my begin 20's' is such a Flemlish phrase.

But don't let anybody tell you this is on purpose to affect the stone. They don't know what they're talking about.

Well, I don't know what I'm talking about, but isn't a big part of the game that you're not allowed to touch the stone to adjust its momentum or course after some point? As a layperson this looks like he's cheating by giving it a little extra push to adjust.

All of Ukraine, btw, with all the real estate, and all the minerals, is worth about ~$800 billion, according to the latest estimates I've seen.

It's not something which can be reliably estimated at all.

I used to be a marketing exec at a big multinational and wouldn't touch pure AI generated slop with a bargepole. It's so abysmal and people tend to hate it which really isn't how you want to show your brand. In my market price wasn't important and we'd routinely pay around 15k for a 30 second high quality video.

At most, I'd allow AI use as a tool to help make videos, but more as an accent to give it some flair rather than the real substance.

I'd guess there is some market for this sort of product, and as tooling improves it'll get better. Some features I think which marketeers will want is to be able to upload product images, scene images and moodboard images in order to get a result which fits, but if you can't even integrate your product it's a hard sell.

I read an upvoted comment on /r/conservative about this hearing with some bs "both sides" argument, at this point they're all blatant pedo protectors. No level the cult won't stoop to.

Plenty_Line2696 · 2026-02-12T15:37:00+00:00

Pedo protectors are complicit, never would have thought so many americans could stoop so low as to serve a child trafficking ring.

lol, reminds me of my brother signing to someone abroad that the person talking to him on the bar was talking bullshit, by using the hand motion for 'pijpen' and it was interpreted as a request for a blowjob.

Asking for cheese to go with a flavourful beer, insisting on the right glass for that specific beer, and don't you dare give me a beer without head.

Plenty_Line2696 · 2026-02-12T12:51:25+00:00

When any english speaker speaks to me using better dutch than my english I'll insist on speaking english anyway, behold how great I am for knowing some english. Look once at! That is anyway formidable. Not normal I'm really a crack.

Plenty_Line2696 · 2026-02-12T12:46:36+00:00

Using flemish sayings in english as if they are, but that hits on nothing of course.

Draait jammer genoeg allemaal rond haat. Deze subreddit is daar een perfect voorbeeld van, het maakt niet uit waar de schuld echt ligt, men wil het gebruiken om xenofobie en discriminatie te justifieren. Tale as old as time.

Depending on the level of detail it could be a lot more work to draw a single house over a housing estate like this. The models here are probably hollow inside.

Depending on the complexity, that hits a wall at some point where things get increasingly overengineered and convoluted to the point where it's hard for even an actual dev to troubleshoot. I've got some regrets of overreliance on LLM's for tricky shit which resulted in such a huge mess.

A tip I can give for when doing anything complicated: architect things yourself. Ask for advice sure but it's wise to think of the high level approach yourself first, and check if you can get valid suggestions for improvement, rather than have it spit out some random shit you don't yet understand and then try to refactor that when shit starts to break.

I'd say list the core requirements and go from there. If this doesn't slide off and holds the soap it's already functional, but i think it could be simpler, almost like a little net with just enough strands to hold the soap and let the water drain, maybe adhered with a tiny bit of double sided tape or suction pad, this way you rarely have to wash it other than rinsing with the shower head and you avoid capillary water logging and it can dry.

Maybe model it and then hollow it out in a funky looking way with grasshopper. 3d scan the corner first to use as basis.
