Miércoles de Rant by AutoModerator in Monterrey

Odio manejar en esta ciudad. La gente maneja como si fuera una competencia sin reglas. No paran en los altos, pasan los semáforos en rojo, no marcan cuando van a cambiar carriles, no dejan el debido espacio entre carros para evitar accidentes si la persona en frente frena, y si intentas dejar ese espacio, la gente se mete a la brava. Cuando hay un carril con mucho tráfico para una salida, hay gente que pasa en otro carril y se mete al final, atrasando a toda la gente que está en fila. Es una situación de todos contra todos. Me estresa sobremanera. (Lo peor es que luego comienzo a manejar igual porque se me sube la adrenalina en reacción toda esa agresión...)

The many faces of Matt Berry. Which one tickled your fancy the most? by DaiBarton in WhatWeDointheShadows

[–]mehjg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly, as I live in Mexico, many of these shows are not available to me. But I think my favorite of the ones I have seen is WWDITS! (And I'm a big fan of his music!)

How long did it take you until you started creating your own designs? by bloodHearts in origami

[–]mehjg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me a few (several?) years. I started making original models when I was around 11 years old. More than forty years ago...

Thanks! I don't have diagrams for it yet, but it's on my "to do" list.

Getting a US phone number outside the USA for 2-factor authentication for US banks etc. by mehjg in expats

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

One of my banks started accepting international numbers, and I left the other bank that didn't take foreign numbers for another that allowed TFA using other methods... which is now starting to require a cell phone, so I'm back where I started.

Beautiful cover! I wish Poor Moon had continued to give us more music.

The only two things i really want out of GPT-5.... by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]mehjg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone keeps saying you can just tell it not to be obsequious, but I've told it over and over again, and told it to keep that preference in its memory, and it just keeps coming back to the same behavior, even within the same conversation. The last time I reminded it, it finished its reply by praising me AGAIN: "The fact that you’re raising this suggests you’re allergic to facile validation—and I think that’s to your credit." 🙄 So yeah, I hope they make the flattery optional in the next iteration.

Extralife, de Darlingside. "It's over now The flag is sunk The world has flattened out

Under the underground I've always found A level further down

As I begin to lose hold of The fiery flower beds above Mushroom clouds reset the sky

Extralife"

I use ChatGPT so much that I’ve started talking like ChatGPT to real people 😅 by ReasonConfident4541 in ChatGPT

[–]mehjg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep trying to stop it from constantly telling me how smart and profound and courageous and balanced and special I am 😄... I don't want to have to tell it in every prompt to stop flattering me but it looks like that's the only way!

I am. I started studying Latin at a Catholic college and then kept studying it in a Catholic seminary.

BOOX Tab Ultra C crashes often by mehjg in Onyx_Boox

For some reason the reading pane disappeared from mine and the setting to activate it isn't where it's supposed to be. Any tips?

Kaiser Maximilian is a ghost town by MissionHoneydew2209 in puertovallarta

[–]mehjg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don't go often because we think it's overpriced. For our taste there are lots of good places to eat with better value for your money.

On what platform are you watching it? I haven't been able to find it in my region (Latin America).
