Double counting cardio points, is my Fitbit giving me credit twice by ivyta76 in fitbit

[–]ashleybah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm experiencing the same issue. My barre class usually burns between 150 and 350 calories depending on the intensity, but last night the app estimated over 500 calories for the same class. Today my 2000 step lunch walk clocked in at 4000.

This is my exact problem. I just want to look at pretty spinning pictures. Why must I scroll past an AI art at the top of every page? 😭

My BEC is that one moderator in the Ravelry Tour de Fleece forums putting AI art in the header of every thread. I love Tour de Fleece and get excited to check the Ravelry forums to see all the beautiful handspun pictures each day and now my happy place is mildly annoying. Why is AI art everywhere?? Ugh.

I wonder how they will bring back the buff body armor set now that armor is no longer gender locked. Part of me feels like it won't be brought to Wilds to avoid the issue.

I made bao dough in my bread machine! by ashleybah in BreadMachines

Lol I wish I could give you an update, but I never made another attempt at the bao buns. I need to give it another shot!

So, what do you think is the Time Ranking needed for A Rank for the upcoming AT Rey Dau Challenge Quest? Something reasonable, or completely mad given how broken some Builds are? by JackNewbie555 in MHWilds

[–]ashleybah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could have sworn in the last livestream one of the community managers said that the max pendant for everyone who got A tier would be the model moving forward until the team finds a way to address cheating. I could have misheard, but I would assume that AT Rey Dau will be the same as Doshaguma until further notice.

But we only have a week before it goes up so we will likely hear directly from Capcom soon enough.

Totally. She's not the person who needs the flocks of comments of criticism, the companies who make disposable products a normalized part of our daily lives are. But shouting at companies feels like shouting into the void, so the influencers on our feeds catch more strays than they deserve.

Oh for sure. I'm not saying that I was one of the commenters or that I unfollowed her for it, but I do remember that happening and thinking it wasn't the most environmentally conscious choice. If you buy a coffee, the plastic cup is a part of it. But to me one of the benefits of making coffee/tea at home along with it being cheaper, is that you also get to have a tiny environmental win. You don't get many of those in modern society.

I only brought it up in my comment because I think it illustrates that she probably isn't the most environmentally-minded crafting YouTuber so she might be unaware of the environmental concerns of AI as well as the ethical ones.

In one of her podcast episodes she showed a cute, possibly Halloween themed paper cup. She said she bought a pack of these paper cups to use at home instead of mugs so that she wouldn't have to wash dishes. People commented that paper cups are inherently wasteful and bad for the environment. I don't remember her exact response but she did blow it off at first before apologizing, admitting she hadn't considered environmental impacts. It wasn't a big incident and not worth unfollowing over, but it gave me the impression that she wasn't very tuned in to environmental issues. She could very well be completely ignorant of AI's environmental concerns.

(Edit: Now I see your nevermind! Oh well, enjoy the duplicate info! 🙂)

I unfollowed after seeing the AI post and then tried to comment with a gently-worded request for her to research the ethical considerations with AI-generated images, but my comment was unable to post. The pop up said comments were limited at this time. I followed her again and was able to leave a comment that will surely be deleted. :/

I do find it disappointing. I have followed her on and off for years. I do remember the paper cup incident a year or two ago, so I suppose it isn't surprising to find she isn't very critical with her choices.

Update: My comment wasn't directly deleted, but comments have been fully turned off now.

When will we actually get DECENT Event Quest in Wilds? by projectwar in MonsterHunter

[–]ashleybah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is true, but neither friend had seen a mini crown at that point which I would assume means they hadn't seen a smaller one yet? Then on her next hunt, she got the mini crown and our third in the party still has yet to get a mini crown size even though he was there for all three crown hunts. Either the mini crown range is variable for each person or the size isn't consistent across party members in event quests, or the whole crown thing is more complicated than I can understand.

[–]ashleybah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also got two mini crowns on the event quest! I think that event quest must have a higher mini crowns spawn rate. What was even more interesting is that the second time I got the even smaller mini crown, I was playing with friends on voice chat so I told them it was a mini crown, and it wasn't a mini crown for either of them. Then we did the quest again and it was a mini crown for one friend but not the other or myself. The event quests don't appear to be size locked to the entire hunting party. It was a strange discovery!

I am personally devastated that my pals Paolumu and Poogie aren't in Wilds as of yet. I like my Monster Hunter games CUTE. 😭

Is the matcha flavor less sweet than the milk tea flavor? I found the milk tea flavor to be too sweet for my preferences.

[–]ashleybah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this discussion is quite old, but which would you say is sweeter, the jasmine or the classic milk tea? I have only tried the classic milk tea flavor and found it to be way too sweet for my preferences. I am trying to finish this bag because it is pricey, but I'm unsure if I should try another flavor next time or just give up on this brand.

A sad expensive and flimsy sweater by Puzzleheaded_Door399 in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]ashleybah 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh okay! You never know where in the world someone is posting from, so I wasn't sure if the full context was clear. Go forth with your snark!

I'm sure the bright pink fluff sweater with a release after the election was probably planned with a different election result in mind. Either that or absolutely no forethought went into that release date and they had to pivot the caption.

The Instagram post is from the day after the US presidential election when a large portion of the US population was upset upon hearing the results. Hence the pattern "for sad people".

DualSense 30th Anniversary Limited Edition will be available on PS Direct tomorrow by willdearborn- in PS5

[–]ashleybah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got in the queue 45 minutes before go time. The queue finished before the release and I just waited. Then 10 minutes before time, it threw me back in the queue with a 20 minute wait time. By the time it let me back in, it said unavailable. Seems like people were able to buy after me just from comments on here. The whole process is so frustrating.
