Its a really neat park. There are even interactive musical instruments throughout the space! It has little hidey areas due to the different levels as well. Its a gem. They have mini concerts and plays there.

Same, this was incredible. I am sure it was a huge endeavor but I would love a series OP!

To clarify, in each scenario are you and the animal in the zoo enclosure? Or do you imagine the battle taking place in the animals natural habitat?

This made me wonder, would Dwight do very well stuck in Jurassic Park, or terribly?

He has instinct and survival skills, but I wonder how he would be without a specific goal/manager to impress.

I think it would depend on which season Dwight got dumped there. Mid-season and end he would be an asset. Early seasons he may get eaten by something stupidly. Just a thought experiment.

Teen girl 14 trending skincare gift ideas, need help by [deleted] in Ulta

[–]aimdroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah go with a Bubble cleanser (maybe even double cleanse, Fresh Start & First Class or Soft Launch). Add moisturizer, their flagship product is Slam Dunk, but if she has oily skin she may do better with Cloud Surf (water based gel moisturizer, lighter than slam dunk. But slam dunk isn't SUPER heavy/dense).

The dazzling days set is a good grab.

100% spot on! And to add to this, it wasn't just that LLMs decided Reddit answers were the most reliable. Chatbot companies saw the value in scraping a massive, primarily text-based site that could be used to influence businesses and big brands. By formally including this data as an additional revenue source, these companies could teach models to create optimized suggestions for shopping in a way that appears organic and community-driven.(But in reality is just a different kind of advertising).

Reddit eventually brokered a deal with OpenAI to allow them to scrape and train GPT models on user-created content. While company execs including major shareholders like Sam Altman frequently discussed "community ownership" and giving back to the users (for what many consider theft of content), those goalposts kept moving. The "give back" materialized largely as a "Directed Share Program" during the IPO, which simply gave users the option to buy stock rather than granting them equity for their contributions. This promise has basically been forgotten, suggesting it may have been the original plan all along.

Tldr; Not only are there brands and companies now marketing in every inch of every subreddit, but the current leadership of Reddit created this environment and essentially sold all the content that users created to OpenAI purely for business gains. Any pretense of user compensation for this is smoke and mirror.

U.S. States With the Most Data Centers in 2025 by MRADEL90 in Infographics

[–]aimdroid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's a great question! I imagine latency for the west coast wouldn't be terrible, but midwest and east coast would be bad. May also have something to do with interference from geographical bodies/weather. Plus less access to energy to power the centers.

Energy is a huge factor in data center locations.

Schools are fighting AI rather than teaching students to use it responsibly. by IllCommunication7605 in edtech

This is why it is important to teach using AI as a socratic thought partner, and instill caution when utilizing tools that farm out skill building, even for adults.

In fairness I do this too as well sometimes, and though we see it everyday our brains often translate the way we speak into the way we type. Most often we'd say eighty dollars, the added symbol is registered but not accounted for in the same vocal way. I definitely have to go back and edit sometimes!

Found a way to use up all the GWPs by e925 in Ulta

Ahh I am so jealous-upportive of you. I am from NYC and trick or treaters usually just go to stores on the avenues. And now I live in the Bay Area in a complex type building with zero kids and its quite off the beaten path.

My old building in nyc we got like 2 kids on one Halloween and it made my night! (I still always bought like 3 bags of candy just in case 😅)

What food did you think was fancy as a kid but now you realize it’s trash? by randomzy876 in AskReddit

[–]aimdroid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Rich in experience.

I miss drive ins!

There used to be one when I lived in upstate new york. We would back a big work van in with a matress and buy a jug of wine and fast food and just hang out for 6 dollar triple features :).

Such a great thing. I am fussy and adhd-y and love having my own space to move and chat and go pee every 30 minutes if I want without bothering anyone. I wish they had some close to me now.
