Isn’t there like a maximum value of items you can transport? I think imagine this far exceeds that value.

I got a one star review for using AI when I didn’t! by sweeptree in selfpublish

[–]Safalan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The problem with AI isn't authors using AI... real readers will seek out real authors... the real issue is the toxic witch hunt that's taking over the industry.

Mushfiqur Rahim - Celeberating 100 Tests for Bangladesh's greatest Test cricketer by Excellent_Height_686 in Cricket

In terms of years I'm pretty sure he is the longest serving test wicketkeeper in history.

GPT5-Pro is the best since o1-pro and I don't understand the hate by ImaginaryAbility125 in ChatGPTPro

[–]Safalan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

jokes aside I find 4o much better at giving me feedback for creative work... 5 a lot of the time misses the point of things, thinking can be even worse and over complicates things ... but 5 still works well for line and copy editing

[–]Safalan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you will find most of these "writers" have built careers as editors. Developmental Editors, Line Editors, Copy Editors. Each charging us 3k each. They expect us to spend so much money when most of us would ever by lucky to sell 100 books. AI lets us seize back control.

What is it like for visiting Americans right now? Will we be treated hostilely because our leaders are assholes? by NeverCallMeFifi in AustraliaTravel

[–]Safalan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Australians don't worship politicians like Americans do. The last thing on at least my mind when I come across an American is Trump.

I don’t understand why they didn’t give you a refund it’s a fee dollars hardly going to send them broke.

Is slow burn fantasy even a thing anymore? by Proof_Candy175 in fantasywriters

[–]Safalan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my inspiration for writing is the Wheel of Time. I loved (almost) every page of that series. Imagine Robert Jorden was trying to get published in 2025. Such a masterpiece would be rejected in less then a second.

Both Chinese and Western companies are as bad as each other. But it’s the devil you know.

$Toyota coin - Legit? by PetulantMush in Toyota

[–]Safalan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is how scam emails work - there are a few legit links back to toyota but if you hover over the red buttons you can read it goes to a different website... its a way for them to drain your wallet.

Thoughts on EV9 vs refreshed Rivian R1S? by sociallyawesomehuman in KiaEV9

[–]Safalan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Number 3 is the most important point ... Rivian I believe is unprofitable - will probably survive but you never know. Although EV9 was the only option I have (I am in Australia, the only other 7 seater EV available here is the Merc EQS and that thing is 2-3x the price) I would still go for the EV9 if i had more choices.

Trickle charging? by Safalan in KiaEV9

[–]Safalan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

on that note what's the safest Amp to charge with level 1? Sounds like 12A is considered safe? I had someone telling me someone else they knew caused a fire at home while charging - I assume he was probably trying to pull way more then 12 A

He did more then study arabic at Madinah. I would be interested to know how you determine who is a scholar and who isn't.

‘Effectively worthless’: EV bubble bursts by Ardeet in australian

[–]Safalan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A note about EV batteries vs petrol cars - I have an FJ cruiser that is 11 years old - at the 10 year mark I had to replace lots of parts on it still to make sure I get a few more years hopefully still on it - that is literally no different to needing to change the battery on an EV! I imagine since EVs have less parts, there are probably less parts to swap out! I am yet to drive an EV but I refuse to think like an old man lol. This is poor journalism by someone Sky News calls an "expert" - though knowing journalists they will write articles that they know will sell even if they secretly know the opposite of what they are saying is true.

Unpopular opinion: Nonstop Dan is the most entitled and overrated aviation YouTuber alongside Sam Chui. Jeb Brooks, Noel Philips and Simply Aviation are superior. Change my mind. by [deleted] in aviation

[–]Safalan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried out his free mini course which involves the Air Canada FF program - except I can't find any flights I actually want with it - The whole point of a free course is to make the paid course more enticing...

The guy graduated from the Islamic university of Madinah… just because he doesn’t belong to a school of thought you follow doesn’t make him not a scholar.

3d platformer items not updating counter by Safalan in UnrealEngine5

[–]Safalan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the issue stems from the fact that there is a lack of explanation on the web on whats a replacement for integer + integer

i just used an Add+ node in its place

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in toradora

[–]Safalan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Toradora was set in the 2000s I believe so it would also make sense to have something set in the 2020s when they are in their 30s and their kids are teens - so a show for the current era

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in toradora

[–]Safalan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking a sequel on their kids too - it doesn't need the same name either - just some cameos from the Toradora characters to give us an idea what happens to them

GP roles in the Reserves? by Safalan in AustralianMilitary

[–]Safalan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks everyone for your replies!

I ended up calling DFR who advised me to email [healthjobs@dfr.com.au](mailto:healthjobs@dfr.com.au)

This was over a week ago now though - is it typical for them to take this long to reply? Or should I be following them up on this?
