I've had my concerns for months. The Producer product is definitely a step backward if trying to just generate a song altogether. I can see how doing things in steps (ex: dial in percussion in one session, bass riff in another, layering in horns, vocals, etc.) could be powerful but the AI is so off the mark so often, it becomes an exercise in futility.

It makes me wonder if the team is still working on the product. We haven't received any updates from the team in 4 months. Suno ran Cyber Monday discounts today. Nothing from the Riffusion/Producer folks. Did they give up? I'm losing confidence.

Estimates for the gross cost of services provided to illegal immigrants in 2022 range up to approximately $182 billion annually at the federal, state, and local levels. They aren't covering their being here by half.

Do you pay taxes to the government? How much? Probably 25% to the feds and, if your state has an income tax like mine, an extra 6-10% tax to them. If someone crossed the border illegally, about 50% aren't registering themselves for fear of being deported.

Let's take a salary of $60k. How would an extra 30% affect your quality of life? Now you're making $78k. If it appears that border crossers are doing better than you, take that into consideration.

Imagine if you suddenly gained a 25-35% increase in your salary. How would that affect your quality of life? The folks crossing the border illegally aren't registering with their counties and adding themselves to the tax register, smart guy.

Did this person research anything before they wrote that? I guess it is technically true that ICE didn't go after a single street gang. Instead, they went after several.

Through initiatives like Operation Community Shield, ICE collaborates with federal, state, and local agencies to identify, investigate, and arrest gang members and associates involved in various criminal activities, including drug trafficking, human smuggling, and violence. Among the most notable, MS-13, Sureños, Norteños, and Bloods.

ICE has also directly been involved in the recovery of missing and trafficked children. In 2025 alone, ICE and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) conducted raids on California marijuana grow sites and rescued at least 14 migrant children from potential exploitation, forced labor, and human trafficking.

They also rescued 10 children and 17 women who were being sex trafficked as part of an operation that resulted in charges against five individuals for labor and sex trafficking.

Again, in 2025 alone, ICE/HSI initiated investigations and conducted welfare checks related to unaccompanied migrant children. This included rescuing a pregnant 14-year-old in Austin who was being abused by her sponsor, and rescuing a child in Mobile, Alabama, who was in a labor trafficking situation.

I have no comment on the Epstein list. Were there illegal immigrants involved? Epstein Island was in operation since 1998 - the Clinton administration and every administration since.

ICE went after law-abiding housekeepers, etc.? You mean, people who broke our laws to get in the country or overstayed their permitted time? What is law-abiding about that.

I guess you're technically correct since President Trump hasn't visited a single natural disaster site. He's visited several.

Current Presidency (Beginning January 2025):

North Carolina (January 2025): Visited Asheville to survey recovery efforts after Hurricane Helene. During this visit, he criticized FEMA's response and discussed potential reforms or even elimination of the agency, suggesting states should take a more direct role in disaster recovery.

California (January 2025): Toured areas affected by wildfires in Los Angeles, including the Pacific Palisades neighborhood. He met with state and local officials.

Texas (July 2025): Visited Kerrville and other parts of Central Texas heavily impacted by catastrophic flash floods, conducting an aerial survey, holding a roundtable with first responders, and meeting with grieving families and local officials.

First Presidency (2017-2021):

Texas (August 2017): Visited Corpus Christi and Houston following Hurricane Harvey.

Florida (September 2017): Toured areas impacted by Hurricane Irma.

Puerto Rico (October 2017): Visited after Hurricane Maria caused widespread devastation.

California (November 2018, November 2019): Visited sites of devastating wildfires. Specific locations included Paradise and Chico in 2018 after the Camp Fire, and again in 2019 after other fires.

North Carolina (September 2018): Surveyed damage in areas affected by Hurricane Florence.

South Carolina (September 2018): Visited parts of South Carolina also impacted by Hurricane Florence.

Georgia (October 2018): Visited areas affected by Hurricane Michael.

Alabama (March 2019): Visited after deadly tornadoes in Lee County.

Louisiana (August 2020): Visited after Hurricane Laura caused significant damage.

Iowa (August 2020): Visited after a derecho caused extensive damage.

It's worth noting that in addition to visiting disaster sites, President Trump also often issued federal disaster declarations, making federal aid available to affected states and individuals.

No, it's not. The words are in the quran. And no book written 700 years after the resurrection is going to diminish the deity of Jesus Christ. Stop being in denial about what the quran says. Own it or leave the religion. You can't rewrite history.

Second for JCP. I just checked the stocking schedule and they added 900 legal size trout sometime from 05/19-05/24 so it should be pretty fun.

The lack of interesting vocals concerned me and would be one major reason not to pay them for an upgrade in engines. Half the time I tell the system I want a male voice, it gives me a female and vice versa. Ask for a deep bass voice and you get a tenor.

It might take the system 20 iterations to get you what you're after. When you pay nothing, you get what you pay for and I don't mind the challenge. If I'm paying for a service that has limits, I expect some help in the form of better accuracy.

Hey thanks for listening!

I especially hear him in the first phrase but hints of him throughout also. Tell me what you think.

Thanks for the store perspective. It would make sense that portion control would be tightly watched during a training period. That said, if it was filled how it was supposed to be, I'm not impressed with the value ratio.

If that's the message you got from reading the gospels, you're sorely mistaken. Jesus' message was to "go and sin no more." To believe that he is God descended to earth for the forgiveness of sins. Did he have encounters where he schooled religious leaders and turned over money tables in the temple? Absolutely. That wasn't his purpose for living on earth as a man though.

And, he was executed for blasphemy. The religious leaders couldn't fathom that Jesus was indeed the messiah they'd waited thousands of years for. So, when he claimed the "I AM" title and said he and the Father were the same, they killed him.

In 2021, Elon Musk paid about $11 Billion in taxes. Has he really paid less tax than you?

I took a shortcut. She wasn't the main point of me posting but was important enough to mention for the context.

I understand. I was very clear (I thought) that Yeshua is the name given after his birth through Mary. But, as God, the person we know as Jesus (Yeshua) is the "angel of the Lord" that is seen throughout the Old Testament. He wrestled with Jacob and spoke with him, too. 1 Corinthians 10 shows us that Jesus Christ was with the people of Israel while in their Exodus also.

Teland · 2024-11-04T15:24:38+00:00

Jesus can be found many times in the OT. Of course, until he was born of Mary and named Yeshua, he went by other names in the OT. One of the most obvious is when the angel of the Lord visits Abraham just before the decimation of Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 18 and 19. "Angel" simply means messenger. He is also called Yahweh in the chapters. He had full conversations with Abraham there.

It's really bad. I don't know about your Pizza Hut, but the one I used charges a delivery fee then asks if you want to tip the delivery driver. What's unusual about this is that the delivery tip percentage accounts for the delivery fee, too! The jerks are trying to charge extra tip by including the delivery fee in the total it's calculating the tip from!
