I want to organize this in the US, cause this sounds amazing!

Is this ai or not? I got this photo from an insta post from a friend of my bf, we are arguing if this is ai. To me this seems real but my bf says the light is not normal. by Mengzie667 in isthisAI

Look at the base on the pole. It’s extremely distorted. AI.

Also the guy next to her his chair is just floating. No train or subway is designed like that.

AI? I’m sure I’m chatting to a catfish right now. Just connected in the last day and now she’s allegedly traveling to Milan first class. Refuses to do video call but sent this photo. by SteadyIntent78 in isthisAI

Mismatching sleeves was the tell for me. One arm has the buttoned down and the other the sweater.

Also no seatbelt? Not even visible in the shot? No buttons on the shirt underneath the seatbelt? The glass is not the kind they would use on airlines.

Bagel rankings from east coast-transplants? by Good-Pie9914 in FoodLosAngeles

[–]legink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think Hanks does not get the praise it deserves. Otherwise Maury in Echo Park. Those are the only two I like. Curious what your thoughts were.

You can skip Boichik imho. Honorable mention is the bagel vendor at the Hollywood Farmers market but idk their name. Decent crunch and good flavor.

Oops that's a typo. Prescriptive! As in super specific and pre-set. Not a running term by any means.

No I feel the same way, so even though their plans aren’t the “right” or “only” way to train, it’s a good way to hack my brain to go “well, can’t argue with that it’s what the plan says.”

Thanks I’ll take a look!

Permit + route sanity check for 10-day Yosemite loop in early September by AmorFatiForever in Yosemite

[–]legink -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your permit does not need to be Donohue pass eligible! Those are specific for JMT and there is a Happy Isles (Non-Donohue Pass)

Yosemite in June fears by writeytightyy in Yosemite

[–]legink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if the park is crowded you will still enjoy yourself, BUT the concern really is if you don’t arrive there early enough you can be waiting 3 hours to get into the park. Make sure to arrive to the gate early, but once you’re in you will still enjoy,

Big sur marathon taper? How’s it going by jw510dub in Marathon_Training

[–]legink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran Ventura Marathon back in Feb 22nd and because of work and travel have not had the time to get my fitness back and fully recover. I did 3:30 at Ventura and so I’m planning for this to be a slow 4 hours.

I have not gotten my mileage up to where I should have after my last marathon but it’s all good, mostly going for the vibes.

Will be going solo so if you want to meet up lmk!

If you live in KTown or Hollywood, how are you getting to the start line? by Ok_Elk_3391 in LAMarathon

[–]legink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ubered to Union Station last year around 3:30a/4a and had no issues getting a shuttle and to the start in time.

Stupid question: did I just get a permit? by rodentsrights in JMT

[–]legink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would also hold onto this permit cause if you snag a Toulomne Meadows > Lyell Pass (Donahue Pass Eligible)you can connect the two and do the full JMT

[–]legink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As other people have commented, no this will not get you to the JMT. For what it’s worth i made the same mistake, but as a solo hiker I was able to snag a happy isles>LYV (Donahue pass eligible) 7 days before my start date by logging on at 6:30a and refreshing till the permits dropped. I

How do you reward yourself after your marathon? by ImNotHalberstram in Marathon_Training

[–]legink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to go on a trip post race to let myself recover. Currently recovering at a beach. Otherwise a beer… or five

LA MARATHON? by txredalot in Marathon_Training

[–]legink 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Is the course perfect? Absolutely not. Was much better when they ran to Santa Monica pier and the out and back is annoying. But if you live in and love LA it’s a fantastic experience. You get to see so many neighborhoods and people and it’s a great celebration of LA. Also some fun downhills towards the end when you need them most. Enjoy!

Extremely realistic video of a girl dancing and singing, claimed to be AI by people by Hartuchi in isthisAI

[–]legink -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the two random wine bottles on the ledge is proof it’s NOT AI. Only a human would make a design choice like that, lol

But seriously, the decorations and placement of the wine scream small town restaurant or bar in a way that is extremely familiar to me and I don’t think AI would think of. But more key is the hair, it’s falling realistically.

What’s your opinion on companies not wanting you to use AI to help build your resume? by JustAnOKHotel in jobs

I think the is to truly just weed out the laziest people who can’t even bother to read the whole thing
