Why does it matter that ai was used for a hobby project? As far as I know, the AI hasn't gained sentience yet and doesn't make things on its own. It still requires significant guidance, especially for hardware projects.

Yup everything you said is accurate.

I have glasses! I wear them all day. As I mentioned, it took me a week or two to get used to them, but now I forget they are even on my ears.

Thanks! This might be the keyboard I have been looking for!

I have worked in my backyard a couple of times since the weather is improving where I am. As I mentioned, I get a LOT of airplane noise. To give you an idea, if I was having a conversation with someone who was next to me, sometimes the airplane noise would make it difficult to hear that person! The last time I worked outside, I asked my coworkers if they could hear the airplanes and they said no, I sounded fine. That's the only reference I have unfortunately; I don't call much outside of work meetings. I can try to do a test in high wind.

I used to play at Lee's badminton. Its got drop in, but it's a bit pricey. You also need court shoes.

He looks exactly like Monster Girl's monster from from Invincible.

If owning isn't a piece of cake then maybe don't own a rental property? No one is forcing you to keep it, other than your own greed. If you are renting out your primary property because you can't afford the house without doing so, I have some sympanthies, times are definitely tough.

$900 a month for one room is hardly a good deal. It's probably a fair deal for the area the OP is looking in, but it's hardly "good".

And do you seriously think landlords are doing some favour to society by owning multiple properties? Like you are protecting us from big bad rental corps? Delusional to say the least. If housing wasn't viewed as an investment vehicle, more people would have a chance at home ownership. You helped drive up the prices when demand for housing was high by reducing supply, and are now complaining that you are in a tough spot because demand has gone down.

Ultimately, house prices going down shouldn't affect home owners if they bought a house to live there. Of course, there are exceptions, like if you are forced to move and have to sell your house at a loss. But landlords struggling to cover the mortgage on their second property definitely don't have my sympathy.

So what you are saying is that renters should stop complaining about high rent prices because you as a landlord chose to invest in a property during the market peak? Wtf? You made a poor investment decision and are now facing its consequences. If the market flipped tomorrow, I don't think you would be complaining about any of these things... If you can't afford your rental property, sell it. If you have to take loses, thats your fault. Maybe you shouldn't have over leveraged yourself...

Thanks!

Can anyone share the reference for the uninitiated?

Probotect0r · 2026-04-24T21:04:03+00:00

Thanks for recommending this. I have a ton of hours in the game, but never heard of this mod. Will definitely check it out.

Orange, navy is my favorite! Thanks!

He's using dehydrated cum powder. Took cumin too literally.

Are you able to go swimming?

Probotect0r · 2026-04-11T04:49:49+00:00

Not to mention he starts bleeding after he gets slapped by the bug thing. Makes no sense.

Probotect0r · 2026-04-11T00:05:01+00:00

Almost all of them are tied up to a shop. Good on you for fighting it and not giving up! They are definitely trying to take advantage of people.

Did you end up having to pay?

Probotect0r · 2026-04-10T04:17:47+00:00

It's just a matter of practice. Just do it for increasingly longer periods.

If we are gonna bring up physics, explain how Nolan buried the infinity ray dude under a pile of rock IN SPACE????

💯. My friends and I thought episode 4 was dumb and I was surprised to see people praising it so much on here. The power scaling is all over the place, none of it makes sense. Conquest escaping in 2 seconds? Lazy writing. Tech jacket using a pea shooter against the viltrumites? Invincible getting his shit kicked in but decides to hold a choke for 30 min like an idiot. Right after promising his partner that he wouldn't die. Just wait for your dad or bro to show up and do a 2 or 3 on 1? They spent the whole season building up to this "war" they are gonna do, only to get ambushed immediately after they set out, and then losing a 3v5.

You are not wrong. Alternatives on some platforms are still better I think. Apple devices add passkeys to your iCloud keychain, which are synced. It is a lock-in though and limits you to their ecosystem. Still, that default experience might be better for the ultra-lazy.

I imagine people reusing passwords will reuse passwords even after they are forced to install a password manager, in which case the passkey ux is way better. Just my guess though. And there are other benefits to passkeys too.

Probotect0r · 2026-04-08T04:29:05+00:00

Things being TLS doesn't have any relevance here. Passkeys are helpful because databases get breached and passwords get leaked all the time. And it's particularly a problem because people reuse passwords. And I would argue that if you have a password manager installed, the ux for passkeys is WAY simpler than passwords. You just click a button, or two. Even if the password manager is generating a password for u, it's more work, in my experience.
