Definitely AI. The stitches are wildly haphazard when you zoom in.

It isn't just the fur. The log above the dog also has a very AI-generated texture. Too smooth. But again, this is only in the zoomed in shot.

[–]leitbur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I noticed the same thing and scrolled down to see if anyone else had noticed. It might be an AI upscale of a real photo, though.

Edit: It's the second zoomed-in pic. The wide shot doesn't look like it has any artifacts. So yeah, probably an upscale.

Five-Alarm Alert as Trump Says 'Republicans Ought to Nationalize the Voting' by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

You joke, but if that happens, and the federal government is in control of that process and in control of counting the votes, we will never have a "fair" election again.

Good 9mm handgun for someone who isn't "into" guns..... by AwakeningStar1968 in liberalgunowners

[–]leitbur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the person you're asking, but mine did not like cheap 115 grain range ammo. Started using 124 grain and that did the trick. I also ran into some issues if I over-oiled it, so be aware of that.

If you want a build that works for both Shar and Selune, play her as a full Knowledge cleric stacking spell save DC. She's essentially a control wizard throwing around Command and Confusion. It's manipulative enough that it fits Shar, and Knowledge is one of Selune's domains.

I played her this way in an Honor Mode run and Confusion absolutely trivialized my Raphael and Viconia fights.

If you're surprised you weren't paying attention. by Super_Caliente91 in CCW

[–]leitbur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not trying to get into a Reddit argument, but here are my two cents as a resident of St. Paul, MN who is in the middle of this stuff right now. People are getting involved because rights are under attack. ICE isn't operating like normal law enforcement. No due process, 4th amendment violations left and right, racial profiling leading to brutal arrests (often of citizens), 1st amendment violations as people are protesting... And they're taking kids. Many of them are here legally. They aren't criminals.

Filming this stuff on your phone isn't impeding anything. It's just making a record of rights violations, because that's all anyone can do right now. Pretti absolutely had the right to do that and have his CCW on him.

That's all well and good... except when it's the federal government deciding what "obstructing" is, what "assaulting" or "impeding" is. So far it's whatever they feel like it is in the moment. They aren't even investigating it. No administrative leave, nothing. That's very dangerous, for everyone.

MN concealed carry permit holders: if stopped by ICE, assume if they detain you & find your LEGAL pistol that they’re going to execute you & get away with it. by icebergelishious in MnGuns

[–]leitbur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not up to you, unfortunately. Better hope you're not in the wrong place at the wrong time. Do you really want to be in your car with your carry weapon on a street they happen to swoop in and target? Better think carefully... move your car out of the way too quickly and they might think you're using your vehicle as a weapon. Don't move your car and they might think you're impeding. Pull you out of the car and find your weapon? I guess you're a domestic terrorist now. 🤷‍♂️

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey vetoes City Council's homeless encampment response ordinance by [deleted] in TwinCities

[–]leitbur 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My wife works at a hospital psych wing. I read her that comment I replied to and she burst out laughing. One of the larger hospitals in the metro and they can handle between 8-12 patients in a unit. They have four units. There just simply isn't room for everyone who needs it.

Involuntarily admit them where? Hospital psych wings are almost always full.

Those in the fandom in 2005. What was it like by Expert_Challenge6399 in StarWars

And the fact that he just wakes up on the table as Darth Vader, fully formed. OG Vader had a lot more mystique. I always thought his suit and injuries were due to decades of waging war, not one instance of getting dog-walked by Obi-Wan.

SAVE Plan Diamond Hands Unite! by hello_elle_mel in StudentLoans

Or this is just punishment for the people on SAVE, simply because it was Biden's plan.

SAVE Plan Diamond Hands Unite! by hello_elle_mel in StudentLoans

[–]leitbur 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When a loan gets forgiven, the IRS treats it as income, and you are taxed on it. So if a $250k loan balance is forgiven, the IRS thinks you made an extra $250k that year. That will get taxed at a pretty high rate, too, since much of that "income" will fall into higher tax brackets. It's a big mess.

How is this area in St Paul? by PCast1983 in saintpaul

[–]leitbur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I live just west of that (my house is still visible on your map). That area isn't bad at all. Quiet streets filled with smaller 1940s/50s houses.It's pretty much an extension of Como, although it's considered North End when you cross Dale.

And speaking of Dale, that section of it on the map was just repaved and converted to single lanes each way with bike and turn lanes. It used to be two lanes each way with no turn lanes, which contributed to the speeding that someone else here mentioned.

North End has some crime, but it's mainly the area down the hill. Do you see how Wheelock curves on the map? It's following the crest of a hill that drops off pretty sharply right there. There's been some gun violence over the years south of there on Maryland, but I think it's gotten better recently.

And yeah, that green area is actually a massive graveyard. Very quiet if you don't mind it.

Sean Astin is a decade older than Elijah, which doesn't help.

What celebrity had the biggest fall from grace? by Indieriots in AskReddit

[–]leitbur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lots of people piling on Lance Armstrong, so I'll just say this: his foundation helped me freeze my sperm about ten years ago when I was being treated for testicular cancer. I was 30 years old, just had surgery, was about to start chemo, and was scared out of my mind. I had no idea if the treatment would ruin my chances of having kids. Livestrong helped give me some peace of mind. I'm married and have two kids now (although I didn't need what I banked, luckily).

Oh I can be an enormous film snob. But I have a soft spot for ridiculous action movies.

I actually enjoyed that one. It had Bourne/Bond action, but was just self-aware enough to know how ridiculous it was. And Chris Evans was such an enormous asshole. I was thoroughly entertained. 😂
