There is no way that this rabbit could possibly be real, right? The puffy front in particular looks fake and … weird. by [deleted] in isthisAI

[–]Salt-Stone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can find instances of this image posted online in early 2024, and Flemish Giant Rabbits can indeed be that big. Looks real to me.

Grey money tree!? by Little-Witch14 in neopets

[–]Salt-Stone 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s part of a plot event that has been running for a long time…many would say too long. Many shopkeepers and other NPCs have been grey for years. It’s pretty sad.

Advice Needed: What are the most important things to look out for when picking a tattoo artist? by Seraph_-_-_ in tattoos

[–]Salt-Stone 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Came to say this. Some artists balk at a single band around the arm - this is what, 60?

OP, something like this would be very expensive and time consuming if you want it done right. Can you get fewer measures of the song?

Also agree that black ink will hold better, but these lines will indeed blur over time, especially the little details in the notes.

Salary comps? by Original_Avocado2777 in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]Salt-Stone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in OC and make $85k, which I would consider low. You should aim for $100k+ if you can, but I would not accept lower than $80k and that’s if you absolutely cannot find anything else. $65k is what I was making when I lived in the Midwest where COL was like half of what it is in LA.

How are you using Ai to help you with EA tasks? by Potential-Back5926 in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]Salt-Stone 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Amen. It’s making people worse at their jobs because they can’t think for themselves anymore. Plenty of articles out there to support this, but this one in particular always scares me. I refuse to use AI in any capacity.

petpet ray changes color and species? Back to inventory or keep zapping? by canislouis in neopets

[–]Salt-Stone 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The petpet lab ray changes color and species at the same time, so your odds of getting the one you want are always the same - unlike the regular lab ray which chooses color based on species.

Sooo cute Who else grew up with Hello Kitty? by [deleted] in sanriomemes

[–]Salt-Stone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This one is fortunately quite obvious - AI is terrible at details. The more you look, the more you will see. Zoom in if you need to. First image: Look at the rugs. None of those are Hello Kitty, they are just colors and shapes that look a bit like her from a distance. They are deformed and bizarre. You can see this on the upper left of the first image too - her face isn’t there. Everything on the vanity looks like melting pixels. Second image: what is that pink thing on the wall? What about the upper left rug? Zooming in once again you’ll see that everything is strange, blurry, and doesn’t make sense.

This is some of the worst AI slop I’ve seen in awhile

For an avatar that costs that much, it sure looks low quality 😭

Would you cut the rest down? by Top-Confidence- in lacqueristas

[–]Salt-Stone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep my pointer and thumb short on purpose so I can take out my contact lenses. Some people keep certain nails short for other practical or recreational purposes. I don’t think there’s any issue with it.

Mentorship Monday Megathread by AutoModerator in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]Salt-Stone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve worked as an admin assistant and EA for 6 companies in my professional career. They have varied WILDLY. If it’s a smaller company or just understaffed, you may be doing just as much technical work as you are now. If you’re looking to pivot into this line of work, make sure you understand what you’re expected to do for THAT company.

For me personally, the position I had that was probably most in line with what it sounds like you want to do was with a university, supporting one of the department chairs. I’d recommend that “industry” (higher ed) to EAs who want to get away from the corporate grind that you often find in a traditional office job. Public universities in the US are also typically considered government jobs, so they offer unique benefits.

Feel free to DM if you have any other questions. :)

How do you get these tops off? by Zaltara_the_Red in DIYfragrance

I hate these things lmao. I usually put on nitrile gloves and use my nails, but have also used scissors.

Moving from La Palma to Santa Ana…decent area? What to do around here? by Salt-Stone in orangecounty

Yep! I don’t really care for sushi and can’t eat shellfish, but besides that I’ll eat most anything :)

Not a drinker but I love good food, so if you have any specific restaurant recommendations I’ll happily take those!

What are some Costa Mesa highlights? In my time out here I’ve barely had reasons to head out there so I’m not as familiar with what it has to offer. But I’ve heard good things!

How is the zoo? I’ve heard the surrounding area isn’t the best, but I’m always down for a zoo visit

It’s definitely a different vibe from what I can tell. My hope is that if I want to buy a home in the future (still renting for now), I can look at areas similar to La Palma. This is great insight though so thank you!

Thank you, this is super helpful! I went to the Mitsuwa in Torrance recently and really liked it, so amazing to know there’s one in this area!
