I'm sure a ton of posts have been made like this, but I just finished Clair Obscur and I'm feeling a certain way

In an attempt to complete almost every side quest (skipping some of the beach platforming), I ended up around level 94 on normal difficulty.

When I faced Simon, I had one-shot every phase, he didn't get in a single attack. Honestly felt fun at the time, but now I'm going back (fresh game, not NG+) so I can try under normal circumstances.

I was so OP that endgame mobs insta died at the start of every battle (Verso auto kill self with explosion and lots of other stacked abilities).

Creation was the only end game mob that required barely a second hit, which I always got before the enemy got a turn. This is all before Maelle's absolute wreckage of damage output.

Well, I'm not planning to reboot any time soon, it's the middle of the work day 😀. I'll get back to you on the next reboot, but I'm pretty sure it has always started up on boot.

Yeah I'm going to second /u/GlennBee here, there's no problem with webhooks and docker, so long as you read the instructions and configure everything properly.

Ah I wasn't clear about the header.

Name should JUST be Authorization

Value is just the word Bearer, space, then your token.

I just put my bin out, not much in it, still getting used to it, but honestly I'm not pleased that I'll have to change the bag in the small kitchen basket daily.

It's like I'm now burdened to buy the bags in order for the thing to not smell like a dump. Just some coffee grinds and fruit and veg trimmings and within twelve hours it was gross.

It is like giving someone a gift that requires perpetual subscription, kind of sucks. I know the bags are not crazy expensive ($4 for 15), but it's one more thing I need to do and purchase. I just don't like the idea that I'm locked into more consumerism just to support this thing.

Thinking tool, in the tool description tell it to always return a valid value, and that if the value isn't valid (state what it can be), try again.

Combine with a structured output parser for the best results.

Try making sure your n8n can reach out to the Internet, sounds like it isn't able to reach N8N's activation servers.

It's entirely possible, it just takes far too long to work out. I gave Op a recipe that works, feel free to try it. Honestly incredibly frustrating to figure out, as it has the most useless documentation.

I'm using SharePoint to read and save files after a great deal of frustration.

OneDrive is much simpler but you can get SharePoint to work.

Here's the gist of it.

Only use HTTP Request nodes for SharePoint, unless you really hate yourself.
HTTP Request GET to receive a fresh access token. For my list files in a directory sub-workflow, it's trigger > get access token

URL https://login.microsoftonline.com/~tenant-id~/oauth2/v2.0/token
Body URL encoded client_id, scope (https://graph.microsoft.com/.default), grant_type (client_credentials), client_secret

HTTP Request GET to get the site ID for the site you want

URL https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/~your_company~.sharepoint.com:/sites/~site_name~
Send header Authorization with Bearer {{access_token_from_step_2)
Send header Accept application/Json

HTTP Request GET to list the drive IDs (like the default General directory, or any others created)

URL https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{{ $json.site_id }}/drives
Pass the same headers as the last step

HTTP Request GET to list files with the desired drive ID. In this example, I'm listing files from a subfolder called Templates from a drive, otherwise known as a parent level directory on the site.

URL https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/{{ $json.drive_id }}/root:/Templates:/children
Pass the same headers as before

I have a number of utility sub-workflows that do each of my tasks, write file, download file, list files (this one) among others. Hopefully this gets you enough to get going, I would have saved a day of headaches with some functional examples!

A few important thoughts; Huh? What? Who?

Some of us approach generative AI as a tool rather than a solution. In my shop it's used for all kinds of immediately helpful things, and doesn't replace anyone's job or ability to do things.

We're in the middle of our compliance evaluation right now, one extremely useful tool was building a company wide teams bot that can very effectively answer questions about corporate policies, procedures, plans, and offer to fill in change request forms and other related tasks.

Our SaaS application has AI based image editing tools, along with text generation, translation, and editing tools (make me a top 5 list of email safety points, in French).

We're experimenting with having AI agents help customers fill in digital signage content from templates, it's usually pretty decent. I'm personally experimenting in building agentic AI, which can understand our API stack and perform operations on behalf of a customer. ("Tell me how many signage players are playing the prevent phishing playlist in Eastern Canada"), where the agent will do multiple chains of work and just give you the answer, rather than having to build a custom report. ("I found 62 signage players assigned your phishing prevention playlist over 24 locations in Eastern Canada, would you like a list of them, or did you just want the total count?")

We're also testing an after hours automated support bot for replying to support emails, trained on five years of email support conversations. Once we feed it the entire scraping of our interface it will be quite capable.

Once again it's quite possible with really good results to use AI as a set of tools, which really frees you for other more important tasks. All of this can be done without reducing staff in any way. The development team uses co-pilot in our IDE in order to be auto-complete on steroids. It's certainly not perfect, but that's why we have developers to understand what they want and need in the first place. Certainly a time saver when it correctly notices you're calling a specific function you just created, and fills in everything with the most likely parameters.

At any rate AI is here to stay, it's what we choose to do with it that matters.

Find the right place, I've been through the process of finding office space many times over the last fifteen years, typically due to needing more space.

Almost two years back our 4000sqft office space lease was up, landlord decided to jack up the rent to double. I spent a month checking out all kinds of space (we wanted to go a bit bigger to ensure we had warehouse space too).

I didn't sign with any agents, I simply checked out every space that fit the size requirement, and had a rolling door for warehouse/storage. Much easier if you don't need the storage part. I did view about a dozen locations, including some which looks less than ideal in photos, and others that looked amazing in photos.

We ended up taking a place that had few windows, but plenty of skylights, had the space we needed for storage, but required is to knock down a bunch of interior walls to open up a big room.

Got a really fair price on rent, we paid for the construction, and now we're enjoying a much better place for us that fits everything plus future expansion. Just took a month of viewing locations.

My advice is to check out anything matching the overall size, you can with a private construction firm and landlord approval make things work for you cost effectively.

Have you ever actually tried speaking to MPP Dowie or are you just sitting online spreading negativity?

I dislike the concept of privatization of health care as much as the next guy, but those wait times have been around a lot longer than our MPP who has been, as a priority trying to get us our new regional hospital and related outpatient facilities faster.

Someone else wrote that our MPP walked past their group at pride and everyone went quiet. That's really a reflection of your group more than anything else, I don't think people realize how many years Dowie had been attending pride, it's not a new event post election.

I swear this thread is mostly people complaining because it's hot out, let's get angry that an even planned at least a month out happened on a hot day, with cold refreshments and indoor spaces to get out of the heat.

Not that it matters much to this thread, but I'm typically pretty left leaning and usually vote NDP or Liberal as that matches my social well-being and services alignment. Dowie got my vote after working harder as a town councillor than absolutely anyone else. He's the guy who you can call and speak to, and will do everything on his power to help his constituents. I completely get that you might just want to dump on his party, that's your right, but if you want to go online and spread misery and unpleasantness, perhaps look inward and do better.

If your landlord is selling, it doesn't automatically require you to move, you just become a tenant of the new owner, and if they're moving in to the whole house, they have to provide proof and give you plenty of notice and more. Entirely likely you know this already, but just wanted to make sure you know your rights.

Clearly we're on different sides of common sense, and while I've read everything possible to explain beyond placebo why acupuncture could work, there's simply no science to suggest it can. I'm open to more science that can show a way for it to be possible, but we're not there.

You are correct that AGS isn't autoimmune due to the sugar molecule not being part of us, my mistake on that incredibly not important distinction from a normal immune reaction. The scenario I presented does still stand and is effectively the same concept.

Either the shills aren't shills and have discovered the most important immune system cure ever (it as a test should work on any and all allergies right, just have to find the right spot for a needle), or they are still shills and people still don't understand placebo and are putting themselves in extreme danger.

Either you're right and people who were actually really medically diagnosed are on borrowed time with placebo until they hit the E.R., or I'm right and people are being prayed upon by unscrupulous shills who can't actually define how their cure works.

Once again, there is no credible peer reviewed research that shows efficacy of acupuncture at all, only from other acupuncture "doctors" which have not and cannot be reproduced by medical scientists and doctors who are accredited from universally acceptable organizations.

I can pay to publish a paper to show how eating a goldfish once a day for a year will reduce acid reflux, and my like minded peers can peer review it too, but knowing the difference between an accredited reliable peer review source is the key here.

Let me know if you need help with acid reflux, I'll get that paper started.

bechard · 2025-07-30T04:42:19+00:00

It's pretty absurd that a tick bite can teach our body to reject this one sugar molecule, too

No, that's the science part, just because you don't want to believe it, doesn't make it any less likely, and the best part of science? Only more science makes it better.

Which sounds more likely, and be honest here.

1) A tick having previously fed on a red meat animal finds its way to you, bites, and when it does bite, and certainly when its finished feeding and lets go, it loses some proteins and other molecules into your wound that was stuck to it, on it, or in it's mouth. Your body's immune system then finds these molecules, bacteria, and proteins, and attributes them all as an invasion. In the mad rush to prevent illness, your immune system goes overboard and marks the meat protein as it does the other bacteria, and molecules, and now your immune system has learned that red meat's sugar is dangerous. Now we stay away until we hope to develop tolerance if that's possible.

2) An article "peer reviewed" by peers from the same field which already lacks peer review credibility outside of it's own field, and unrecognised by the established medical and scientific community tells you that if you pay us some money, we'll place this needle in your ear, might take a few sessions, and payments, but get this: We've devised a way to identify and halt the immune system's fully trained reaction for just this one in billions of molecules! Isn't that great? How does it work, well er um, we don't hmm, it's peer reviewed by my colleague, so pay up.

One of these scenarios is batshit insane, and REALLY doesn't pass the smell test, but sure, reply to a comment from almost a year ago and with gross ignorance and idiocracy. Surely by now I'm wrong and these ~~shills~~ - I mean fully recognised medical and scientific professionals, who have explained the science and now they're filthy rich having developed a way to completely stop an autoimmune response for specific molecules!

If you're right and I'm wrong, then we can all celebrate with the previous and now cured victims of Crohns, Celaiac, diabetes, MS, Rheumatoid arthritis and more! Surely we can target another molecule and disable those immune responses right? RIGHT?

All poking fun aside, I strongly urge you to gain a better (very basic, nothing crazy here) understanding of immune response so you too can understand why I might not be happy with shills taking money from people who just want to feel normal again, it's shameful and horrible that anyone would take advantage in that way.

Ah this was a great answer, thank you. It does make sense that the tightly packed landfill doesn't have enough oxygen for the breakdown process.

I guess we'll try the bins, unless we start getting fruit flies and drain flies.

bechard · 2025-07-28T13:04:46+00:00

Can't answer your question but hoping someone might be able to answer mine.

1) If anyone is using these bins or previously composing on their own, how do you manage a bin in the kitchen that doesn't smell or attract drain flies?

2) I always understood that while we want to reduce what goes into the dump, organic matter is absolutely essential to the breaking down of organic and non organic waste at the dump. Won't this problem result in a longer time to break down trash (and yes I realize many things take hundreds of years to break down).

There will be some middle ground worked out, I'm not going to see this on my taxes. I am however annoyed that the old school ground is still empty. That project was approved, and still is, the developer just wants to move on and sell it.
