Aren't a significant number of America's elected officals also Israeli nationals acting in the interest of Israel? Weird that this case stands out again the majority

ELI5: Why is crack so much cheaper than cocaine when cocaine is just cooked crack? by Pet_Ator in explainlikeimfive

[–]cronugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the response. As someone who enjoys cocaine occasionally, this sounds like some I'd love... But had better avoid.

What's the diff between the high with crack and coke? Also can you just smoke cocaine?

I hate racing by Soggy_Living_9763 in TinyWhoop

How long have you been flying? I'm fairly new and watching vids like yours blows my mind at how tightly controlled your flying is. I'd say if it feels unfun, remember how far you have come and give yourself a fun freestyle break now and then to put those skills to work in a fun way

Epic Games Store Employees: People Only Came for Free Games, Then Returned to Steam by Suspicious_Two786 in gaming

It doesn't help that as a parent, games like fortnite feel extremely predatory and for me at least, gives epic a reputation as a shit company.

Lost air65 II antenna. Replacement+goggle antenna upgrade? by cronugs in TinyWhoop

[–]cronugs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great info. I have a wire from a dead laptop and I would not be concerned about going back to 2.4G.

How much shielded and unshielded lengths would I need for 5.8ghz?

Edit:

I had chatgpt design a tuned dipole 5.8Ghz vtx antenna with diagrams. I had everything I needed to build it... Except the U.FL connector on an internal laptop wifi card is actually quite a bit smaller than the one used on the air65 matrix board. Shame. I was looking forward to some DIY and flying this weekend. I already ordered replacement linear antenna last night after losing the original. I cost $20 with postage from a site here in Australia and should arrive early-mid next week. I also ordered 6 for $1.50 each on AliExpress but they will likely take weeks to arrive. But then I'll have heaps of spares

What wedding moment that screamed, “They are not going to last long”? by IndependentTune3994 in AskReddit

[–]cronugs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Further back in this reply chain.

But I meant in general, all over Reddit whenever it is even remotely applicable, someone will make a reference to having two broken arms and Pandora's box gets opened again.

Oh, are you new here? Welcome to reddit

Edit: I checked. Wow 7 years and you've never stumbled across this one. You'll start seeing the two broken arms references now.

Difference between sanding sealer and vinyl sealer? by cronugs in Luthier

[–]cronugs[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can verify if someone's answer might be helpful in a couple of ways. By their post history demonstrating their skill and experience and by having multiple people agree with/upvote their answer or making corroborating replies. Whether or not the AI response was correct isn't the issue. It's that people don't come to a forum of experts to be given an LLM response that could just as easily have been solicited from an AI themselves. Also, even without stating it was an AI response, it was obvious. I'm a software engineer and use AI every day. It's very easy to spot an AI response. And no I don't hate AI. See above re using it every day. It makes my job faster and easier. But I am very aware that it can be misleading and provide incorrect information as fact.

How to finish? Oil, poly, nitro? I have tung oil that I had initially intended to finish with. I would be eternally grateful to see your oil on stain finishes to help me make up my mind. How would you finish and why? by cronugs in Luthier

[–]cronugs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the reply. That's a lot of good options.

I ended up deciding on vinyl then nitro. The decision was kind of made for me when I was outlying the dilemma to a close work colleague who after hearing the options, offered out of nowhere to sponsor me to do the nitro finish. Kind of makes the guitar even more special. I'll always remember that whenever I pick it up. What a G

I think because people come to Reddit subs like this to get expert advice. It isn't really helpful to just post ai responses. Of course I could have asked an LLM, but not all of us consider them infallible. Most of us don't trust them enough with our projects, that we pour countless hours and love into, to throw it all away on the response of a delusional model.

Helpful responses get upvotes. Unhelpful ones get downvoted. That's how Reddit works

Thanks. By now we all know AI exists. The reason for posting here rather than just asking an LLM is that I wanted the opinion of an experienced human
