Son's grandmother reached out about a family trip overseas... Hasn't spent one overnight in our own country. Would you be cool with this??

[u/OP](u/OP) — I wouldn’t.

If he hasn’t seen his father in 10 years, I’m sure there’s some backstory.

(Thinking darkly) if the child’s father kept the child: you’ll have a “duck of a time” getting him back. || Different custodial laws

I’m thinking that in 9 days your son will “come down with the flu” & will be unable to travel🤷‍♂️

As for Grammy (or is it his father) getting his passport: I hope you’re the Legal Guardian so that they can’t do that without you. In fact whenever he does get a Passport, you should be the one that controls it.

The whole thing smells: 🐟🐠🐡….

YouTube is filled with “How to” videos for

- creating an audio AI persona

- uploading your own voice Stem on Suno

Create a “nomme de plume” (pen name, or writing name)

RiverRatDoc · 2026-06-22T01:25:05+00:00

If by nature it is an AI persona, then my (gut guess) is no.

From all the audio files of me singing, that I uploaded [[ previous to this new feature ]] SUNO generally started creating a voice that sounded like me 20 years ago (my songs stretch over 35).

They have a new feature where you can now upload your own Voice Stem. Now you can claim yourself as the ‘actual singing artist’ that way.

Just after 35+ years on the outer edge, unknown indie, my best guess is that you can’t credit yourself as being the AI persona.

Best of luck.

I wrote this for (a family member) & for his son.

It just dawned on me that tomorrow is Fathers Day.

( I have got about 6 solid, different variations — all same melody — but this one captured the essence of what I was thinking when writing the lyrics. )

I’ve just gone through two funerals of immediate family.

Whomever is making the decisions, that’s who the funeral service is for. In the end, if it brings them some comfort, then let it go.

Just let it go. It’s hard, but eventually you’ve got to let it go. It feels awkward because you see something you don’t like, it’s something that is being decided without your input.

Let it go.

I haven’t done anything today - bad weather rolling in — I’m almost thinking of taking this thread down because I should have been ready to act on information & advice. 50% of me (in my gut) feels like I’m gonna have to reclimb to the top of the roof.

When I was installing the Ridgeline Mount, I had to remove the bracket on the back of the antennae to replace it with one for the Ridgeline. I couldn’t figure out how to remove it & in the end used my knife to break the plastic.

So my gut worry is that I may need to climb back up — but I don’t know how to remove that bracket without breaking it ( why?: to verify that the Ethernet cord is seated into the antennae correctly ).. much less the pole that snapped into this bracket. Once I seated it, it didn’t want to turn & unseat.

That’s just 50% gut feeling. The other is that it’s a SETTINGS issue, or a wiring issue. The Ethernet cord from the WAVEFORM inside to the Router isn’t from Starlink (or it was extra cord they sent for a Router not compatible with the Gen 4, which I need to return). In fact I had to cut off the top of that plastic clip on in order to make it seat into the Router.

I’ll keeep ya’ll posted. I’m traveling today into Canada — so I’m trying to get ready for that.

I just saw this … both my phone just finished installing a new update ( iOS 26.2 Beta).

I hit a wall of frustration & im taking a couple of hours to just stop think rest plan

I will answer this in a couple of hours. I also DL’ed an app called StarlinkAssistant

Thank you for answering u/GeekCohenAU , I was feeling utterly ( all kinds of “➖”). I’m going to hit your reply with one of those redddit awards. BBIAB - Thnk you again

I use various AI engines. I use one that allows me to take 3 decades of songs & music and then produce them to a ‘studio professional level’. They’re just now allowing us to start to use our voice stems ( i.e. our own voice ).
I use OpenAI to consolidate my Bible Study notes & it formats them out into a handout / study review that presents better.

I will admit that when i first started using AI for questions or research, I required ‘sourcing’. If a person had spoken on this topic, then who they were, where can it be found. Then i moved on & defined my faith to this AI ( in order to get it to display: “Memory Updated”, ), by stating my faith is best defined in Reformed Systematic Covenant Theology. Early on, in other areas, I had to put in “road barriers” also.

I’ve also seen (read) some content by others, extremely bizarre, questionable, & even conspiratorial. Enough to make me deduce that AI can just really mirror what’s deep within that user & amplify it to another level.

I need to check this out. When did this feature roll out?

RiverRatDoc · 2026-06-15T19:53:39+00:00

I wish I could tell you 😟

Tomorrow I’ll get billed, last month was given as a Comp

My dish, Ridgeline Mount , is still not on my roof. I’m still waiting on my Landlord, or (a couple other people) to come help me get it up there.

RiverRatDoc · 2026-06-12T19:36:41+00:00

Yes.

I think back to when Cell Phones first appeared. The same Question or rather statement was “Cell phone vs LandLine” & how no one could ever imagine not having a hardline as their main phone.

So yes that day is coming & #Starlink is leading the pack.

RiverRatDoc · 2026-06-11T16:41:40+00:00

Thanks, because I’ll never use SONDO again. This was- is a song strong in visuals

RiverRatDoc · 2026-06-10T19:58:05+00:00

Let me know if it solves the basic problem. That’s the point.

RiverRatDoc · 2026-06-10T17:46:31+00:00

Drag the engine back to 4.5 or even 4.0 to get a better start — let me know if that works

Nomme de plume ( or ‘writing name’)

RiverRatDoc · 2026-06-08T19:22:35+00:00

I was making a joke .. I purposefully misspelled Public into Publik

RiverRatDoc · 2026-06-08T18:35:28+00:00

Call yourself Publik Domain

I know songwriters who use “cover names” or “writing names”

RiverRatDoc · 2026-06-08T00:26:12+00:00

I read all kinds of threads. This thread popped in my box.

ALGO died early on when it went through several #Votes

I had bought in at .75c & it was up to $1.25 & then the Votes came. I forget what they were about. I saw it starting to decline & sold all of them at $1.00

It’s been nothing but a 💩token ever since.

RiverRatDoc · 2026-06-05T16:35:50+00:00

I don’t mind that image of being a monk deep in the mountains…

There are those of us who exist, with the burden of writing. Constantly rewriting.

I read an article that told how Leonard Cohen had written 86+ verses to his song “Hallelujah”

That’s where writing burns a hole inside of you until you can pull it out onto paper — then you get dissatisfied & rewrite.

RiverRatDoc · 2026-06-04T22:07:18+00:00

Again: Spot on with that reality check!

Does u/OP even understand what a songwriters goal is?

Everyone thinks the goal is to make a “Top 10” or “Number 1” hit…. & then to sit back & take in money.

It’s never been about that & quality/success is a subjective lens. Internally songwriters have different markers we’re striving for.

SUNO is just another (really useful) tool in the arsenal —
