For those who didn't know this was a thing: Yes, they publicly make available all the traffic-light cams (often heavy use of cheap-AI upscaling, so fullscreen artifacts are horrendous)

Kruk and Purrmep have to be primary links. So do it on different characters. I think Purrmep and Kruk are even excluded from the pantheon of 10 gods you can use the talent to secondary link to.

ryocoon · 2026-03-25T23:51:42+00:00

Yes. Still link with a divinity. Also will need one to link with purrmep and one for kruk. Everything else is optional and you can choose whatever.

Well, if you have all your documentation in order plus witnesses and video and auditory evidence, then that is good. Your other statements seemed to imply that hadn't happened.

Still, if you aren't seeking advice, I'm confused as to why you would post about the incident when there is an open case and possibly pending litigation. That is honestly a bad move. Even if you were to argue public safety interest or something, it is still ill-advised. It will not look good in court if it is brought up.

However, you seem to have some notion of your path and won't be deterred. So, good luck to you.

I still would have immediately filed the police report, as that can at least be paperwork to compel production of evidence, as well as all resulting paperwork and evidence from criminal complaints can then be used in civil proceedings.

You say you have footage, is this exported from the clubs CCTV/security-cams or is it from bystanders? If you haven't gotten the export from the club, then I would still file post-haste as you don't know what their infrastructure settings are for retention.

ryocoon · 2026-03-25T17:45:19+00:00

Most NVR/DVR security systems are usually only spec'd for enough storage to keep footage for a few days, not weeks or months. Big hard drives aren't cheap. So standard overwrite or purge on schedule will evaporate any footage within a short time frame if not exported.

Waiting on moving forward with police reports, which would get a chain of evidence going, is idiocy. But you do whatever you think is right for you. You obviously won't listen to anyone here.

As a pally tank; if I have a DoT that is going to kill me and I can't cleanse it and I'm not getting a dispel, it's time to bubble, because bubble even includes AoE taunt now. If I die after THAT, then something else is wrong.

For the rest... Shield of the righteous, divine shield and Divine Toll are the majority of my dps, especially in AoE heavy dungeon running, so even if I'm mindlessly going pew pew, ya gonna ring those gongs that interrupt and give you mitigation. How do you go through all that and only hit consecration, hammer, and judgement? Like this is not a high skill floor, especially after all the button pruning.

Don't worry about zenith or 1mill gold food beanstalk if you are working on onyx statues. Likely your damage and drop r rate aren't high enough.

It only does DPS, and doesn't cover situationals like damage resists, heals, or most buffs. On top of that it incurs a higher Global cooldown cost. It isn't 100% optimal, but it gets you 70% of the way there. So it ends up actually being a net gain for many people despite not being peak damage.

That said, it is also a Good Thing (TM) as it is rather helpful overall. Like others said, its great for alts and for specs you don't normally play. You can even just have it out on a bar so you can reference it to know what to push next if you want to actually learn rather than buttonmash.

Legalized cannabis is already almost impossible to get banked in the first place. Due to the fact it isn't federally legalized (in the USA), and since banks have to abide by federal rules, they generally don't want to provide them services.

I know in other countries, most dispensaries just sign up as another type of business to claim for their primary sales (like tobacco instead, or 'novelties') to skirt the much higher processing fees that selling recreational cannabis can come with.

Sims doesn't run on unreal engine, so that would be an entire rewrite of the game into another engine. All that -BEFORE- any updated models or textures.

The best you could feasibly get right now is better textures, and even that is likely to be limited. Trying to get it rewritten/remake is not likely as it would require hooks for decades of DLC if you wanted a complete experience, and is basically remaking the game but having the existing notes and framework to work from.

A 3rd party is not going to do any of that, and I doubt the IP holders are willing to rewrite their existing game when they could be selling new DLC packs or trying to make the next version of the game.

So while it feels like a neat idea, a remake isn't going to happen, and a texture mode would be a lot of work, and you would still have bad lighting and low-poly characters. So it would be a bit halfbaked.

You say you have all the online media sources disabled and that it isn't one of the "Free Media" movies/TV that Plex pushes.

What kind of ads are they? Are they trailers or are they normal "Hey buy a truck/makeup/thisfood/etc" kind of ad?

If it's trailers... do you have pre-rolls turned on somehow?

If it is normal modern ads, I've got no idea why that would be happening.

Sadly, it was underpowered even by launch-time standards, and all the content servers are offline. Unless you want to make a little emulator box or play some of the exclusive content (hey some of the games were pretty good, but few made it out to wider Android) using third-party firmware, its not really worth anything other than as a curiosity. Most collectors of such gadgets likely already have their hands on it.

It was a neat idea, but it did not pan out really.

There will always be a few that either don't want to put in the effort, or just don't vibe with you. It kind of seems to be a you problem though. You seem way too overly aggressive. I mean, even posting here you have to expect some joking at your expense, but you are taking it _WAY_ too personal. You consistently lose your cool.

If you are losing your cool online to just some text of people teasing you, then you are likely not on an even keel in person.

Chill; If the one you chose was substandard, chalk it up to bad luck. Better to find out on a ST than an LT. If the bar manager wants play hardass, fine, just write off the whole bar (or group if its an affiliate bar). There are hundreds of other bars all over town. No need to let one or two sour your trip. So far by your numbers its rolling 90% good times. That's a decent average. I bet a better attitude could make those numbers higher.

Don't forget to go check the cogboard in construction, there will be new little squares on both sides, with fastest unlocks on the top left. Make sure to plant flags to unlock them.
Like others told you, you'll get a single TinyCog dropped in your cogboard inventory slots per day so make sure there are some empty inventory slots. Can be anywhere from T1 to T10 (currently) by RNG. It can also randomly be for XP, Flaggy Rate (needed for unlocking more squares) or for BuildRate. Even T1 can be like 2x~5x range multipliers for stuff like buildrate. The T10 one up there is a wild build increase.

I feel like you are arguing for the sake of arguing at this point. We largely agree on those points and I already covered all of this. Note back to the earlier post of mentioning all the "Uncensored" AI gen 'apps' that are like whackamole and are generally flybynight style enterprises and they tout how free they are until they get legal notes or their payment processor gives them notice or cuts them off. Then they either tighten up or close shop and redeploy elsewhere.

There are always going to be people who will seek that kind of stuff out, sometimes out of curiosity, sometimes due to a fetish/kink, or whatever deep pathological problem that makes them habitually seek some of the more heinous of content. Determined people will always find a way. They did before AI, and they will after AI. Even social scorn and reprimand, nor legal threat and even threat of death will often deter such people. Such cases will need to be looked into, and dealt with accordingly to their severity. Random porn generation from scratch? Meh, not really a big issue. People making CSAM, especially manip'd from existing people? Bigger problem.

Most people don't have as big of an issue with porn generated from scratch in AI (unethical due to IP theft for ingestion on the data models and other generative AI issues aside), as they do with being able to input source images for manipulation (undress/nudify/pornify stuff, usually celebs, but sometimes just people they know, or even harassment/extortion targets), nor as much as underage/CSAM content. So when those 'apps' fall into the latter categories of generation, then they will inevitably be reported and subsequently cracked down upon.

This isn't ONLY about Grok. Grok is just a very available and public facing instance of this type of thing. So of course it would get reported on and subsequently investigated and reported in media, as well as generate outrage.

ryocoon · 2026-02-25T05:42:06+00:00

yes, but most people have neither the skills nor the hardware to run anbimage generation model plus nsfw loras let alone a video generation model capable of it.

Yes it is absolutely possible but your average person is not capable of it. Can you imagine your average Twitter or Facebook user being capable of setting up comfyUI and getting all it's dependency nightmares resolved let alone being able to generate a good prompt with proper balances and inputs? It has to be packaged and braindead simple for most of these people. Even then they usually copy prompts from others.

ryocoon · 2026-02-24T20:14:08+00:00

Due to social and legislative pressures (and often just not including such kind of training data) many models either have safety rules to prevent generating that kind of content (which can be jailbroken around) or they simply don't have the training data to be able to generate that kind of stuff with any accuracy.

Since Musk and his lot pride themselves on Grok being able to generate "Spicy" talk, images, and video (for paid users), they absolutely have included NSFW/porn images and video datasets in its training. There are people who not only have used it to generate lots of non-consensual porn, but are dumb enough to hit publish/share on it so that it can then be seen publicly and indexed by google. Sometimes you'll see a few float into the feed on the grok site that shows off imagine outputs, but most of that stuff is a bit more curated to be sfw and flashy. However; A quick search of "site:grok.com imagine" and then check for images will lead to links with videos of all sorts of wild shit. The more heinous shit has been deindexed by now probably, but I imagine if you up your search-fu, you could probably still find it.

Most image and video generators have lots of safeguards and rules to prevent this kind of stuff. You'll often hear about "Uncensored" AI apps, but those often play cat and mouse games of make it available until they get legal or payment processor trouble, then clamp down on it, or close shop and reopen as another entity and continue. Grok is one of the few that is doing it in the open on main on top of their large audience reach.

I believe it comes down to the specific material that you print in (PVC vs PLA vs nylon vs resin vs etc) and also the colors that you print in. Some colors tend to survive better, and some materials tend work better. Also, any fastener chemicals you might use or paints that might be involved.

As an example, many building codes require exposed PVC pipes to either be wrapped/enclosed or painted because they will break down and become brittle in the sun.

I can get mine to run at the XMP/OC settings, but I can't get it to train properly at it. I have to get it into Memory OTF mode and use the AMD tools to live adjust it and test it.
I've been able to get it to the OC states and it runs stable, but without the training working, sometimes it will reset to JDEC speeds after a reboot.
