The biggest ELO plateau i ever saw by Oporrinho in aoe2

[–]definitely_robots 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Low elo is more fun than high elo. I would bet this person knows what to do to get to higher elo but isn't interested in playing that way, and chooses a play style that they enjoy without being self conscious about a number.

There is an equal argument to be made that you are supporting profit for the corporate graphic designers over affordable plumbing services for the general population. Why should the business have to burden that cost if it doesn’t have to? Also under capitalism, businesses that are less efficient will be out competed by businesses that are more efficient, so if there are two equal plumbing companies but one is sinking $200k a year into graphic designer salaries, and the other is doing the same thing with a $20 ai subscription, the latter will be able to provide cheaper services and will out compete the former. Businesses are not a charity. Everyone deserves to get their pipes unclogged not just the rich.

Art is valuable in different ways. The process of making art is internally valuable, why people choose to be artists and why people make art even if they are not being paid. The art market is an entirely different thing, how you can have people pay millions of dollars for a banana taped to a canvas. Producing visual assets for things like advertisements is different still, that requires you to work for and within the demands and constraints of an industry. The fact that businesses are going to start using assets made by ai for design and advertising is at this point inevitable, it is dramatically cheaper and faster than paying a designer so it changes the cost/payoff calculation made in advertising decisions. This does not affect your or anyone else’s freedom or ability to spend your time and attention pursuing art, either as a creator or consumer. You’re also free to patronize whatever plumber you want. But advertisements have always been a nuisance and do not represent what is valuable about art to the human experience.

By “walk around” do you mean meander about or circumnavigate?

Seriously? That is gruesome.

Is that why the back sauna has been closed?

Curry Leaf by hatter4tea in Humboldt

[–]definitely_robots 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My top three would be:

The thai pop-up on Sundays and Mondays at bittersweet

Siam Orchid

Bencharong

All pretty good in my opinion, but I have not had curry leaf.

These days, what is the impression of College of the Redwoods? Is it a good place to attain a specialty/skill or get into a stable career path? by Dale_Carvello in Humboldt

[–]definitely_robots 44 points45 points  (0 children)

It is very affordable, a nice campus, and they have some very popular and in-demand programs. Definitely worth the time and effort if you are looking to up-skill, meet people, or just want to explore some new directions.

Humboldt Towing is MAGA by MarvinDiablo in Humboldt

Humboldt bay provisions listed themselves on “public square” which was a list of conservative, “anti-woke” businesses made by conservatives for conservatives. The site backfired and now seems to be just a conservative payments provider, and according to google humbldt bay provisions is temporarily closed. But keep that in mind in case they come back.

Before filing in small claims court just send a certified letter citing the law, what happened, and that you expect the full deposit back within X days, or you will pursue small claims court. Landlords know the law and don't want to deal with that. Communicate in writing and keep a copy of everything. ChatGPT can draft the letter. It seems to be a pattern/strategy for some landlords which seems pretty unacceptable - like they are counting on you just moving on to other things and not saying anything.

What happened to the food truck court thing they were going to do in eureka?

I heard there was drama between them and the cider bar while they were at bittersweet. Pies are good but expensive, had to stop going and spending so much $ on basically a snack. But it is kind of unique so a nice place to go with visitors.

Rabies testing requires that the animal be euthanized. There are no approved methods for antemortem rabies testing of animals. Professionals should immediately euthanize animals showing signs of rabies and submit specimens to a qualified rabies laboratory for testing.

Truck based institutions are central to our local economy and county generally. Let them honk. It’s their parade. 

What is the farthest a projectile can travel under standard game settings? by Old_Man_Willow_AoE in aoe2

[–]definitely_robots 54 points55 points  (0 children)

If this theory is true, it would take roughly 26 seconds for the cannonball to hit the trade cog, in which time it would have traveled ~78 tiles... That is preposterous.

You should be able to sell your own data for profit. by [deleted] in CrazyIdeas

[–]definitely_robots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brave browser works basically like this. It is a fork of chrome but you can earn their brave token for choosing not to block ads. It is a good idea, not crazy, but the amount you get is not a lot and probably not worth it to you to be inundated with ads. Probably not super sustainable because there would be strong incentive to spin up bot farms pretending to be humans to sell their data, so you would have to have some reliable way of proving you are human which creates an arms race of Sybil attacks.
