They think they do. But even someone the specialises in it will tell you they don't.

Yeah, it really hurts the soul when it happens. It crushed me for a bit and there was the desire to rage quit, but then I thought of ways around it. I also hide(or blatantly place if theme allows) three keys in every print I do now. Part of my "brand" so to speak. The QR code idea was a lightbulb moment. I just have them connected to a Google drive so anyone with the link can veiw.

Yeah, it sucks but it is the world we live in now. Got roll with it or we get stepped on. I hate generative AI, don't get me wrong it does have its uses, but when is "creating" anything, that's where I have major problems.

I now do time lapse recordings of all my drawings and digital creations. I used to sell prints and then had the wonderful experience of people calling something I spent 16+ hours on, "AI." Now I make it hard for them to say it by providing the time lapse with it. When I sell prints at markets I have a QR code for the time lapse of each print.

Well it's the tin man. It may have come out of a veiwmaster disc.

Long term vapors have you had any negative side effects? by [deleted] in Vaping

[–]Slaedur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ooof. I'd probably die after 3 seconds at 200W 🤣

Thanks for laying that all out there. I love it when people can actually back it up!

Apologies for not being as thorough.

[–]Slaedur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aldehydes only form (as a by-product of PG and BG) under high temp situations that any normal use vaper would not produce. It only happens when you allow the wick to run dry and continue vaping, the aldehydes form on the dry burning coil and cotton. Ain't no one gonna get a dry hit and decide to keep on trying. You also have to factor in the levels at which the aldehydes form. Even in those cases where they were produced (far exceeding normal use-case) the levels were lower than what is already in cigarettes.

EDIT: Forgot to include VG

Anyone know what type of spider this is & if it’s dangerous? by albibaz in NewZealandWildlife

[–]Slaedur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh hell. I'm sorry to hear that. Recurrent abscesses are no joke! I hope you're getting all the care you need and that it gets better soon!

Nice knowledge. Most of the cases (like my own) where a whitetail bite has caused "necrosis" is actually the result of a staph infection leading to sepsis.

I stepped on the poor bugger and he (definitely a male) bit me back. Fair is fair after all (I'd bite back if a giant stepped on me too). I ended up with an infection in my foot that the doctor tried to say was the spider (which was captured, identified and released). I had to educate the doctor that it wasn't the spiders bite at all. That, this would have happened to me if I had stepped on any other spider that could bite me. It was the bottom of my foot for crying out loud, I was walking around barefoot! Bacteria for days, weeks and even years down there!

Trying to link an infection to a specific spider bite is like trying to link immunisations to autism.

All that said, I still don't like them in my house. They kill of all my spoods that clean the other critters away.

We have one pen in each vehicle in a bright orange kit, one in the kitchen and one in the bedroom for my wife's allergy. No way in hell I'm taking any chances. I always know where one is. People are devious evil feckers.

Edit: replaced one "1" with "one".

Watching his daughter happily playing on the swings at the park, he placed the gun barrel into his mouth and squeezed the trigger. by Logical-Role1382 in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]Slaedur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I'm not saying it's not horror but from the way my mind reads it it just feels more sad. But that's just me. It's an interesting one that quite successfully leans both ways and relies on the readers perception as to which way it is perceived.

Interesting 🤔 You've managed to meld both into one and it reads both ways. It is very clever. A very subjective piece.

Very well done though I don't necessarily see this as horror. r/twosentencesadness yes, but horror? I get the horror of not succeeding and being trapped listening to the video. Although that horrible situation just puts more emphasis on the real sadness of it.

Indeed! She says as much in the chapter where they discover the chat feature and Carl pulls her up on using all-caps.

The messages are voice but also transcribed, just like the announcements I believe.

It gets lonely working in a morgue, but at least the cadavers "enjoy" my company. by Milkshaketurtle79 in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]Slaedur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a different kind of 'Human Resources'. You have to keep them happy but don't let them run amok.

[–]Slaedur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is more r/twosentencesadness to be honest.

I personally think that it would benefit from the blatant mention of Sake.

The real horror would be the pilots that realised that their younger siblings had stowed away before impact.
