One of my tests is checking for pores. AI tends to make skin look too smooth/uniform where real people have an uneven distribution of pores, making the AI image look unnatural.

I was once rejected for being too tall. I'm 1.96m (~6'5") and she was ~ 1.65m (~5'5"), said that she didn't like the thought of having to crane her neck to see my face.

There's always been very vocal criticisms of her from people who don't agree with her (for whatever reason they may have). But since she first started her activism, over a decade ago, no one I personally know has had a negative view of her. The people who don't like her are very vocal about it, but on the whole I've always assumed she's well liked.

I've personally been a fan of hers since I found out about her, and every time I hear about her doing something I basically always go "hell yeah"

I think I found the answer. When I checked Starlink's site, those prices plans match up with the personal plans, but it appears that the user in the screenshot has a business plan.

Starlink Local Priority Pricing Starlink Global Priority Pricing

Screenshots should be the Business Local Priority & Global Priority pricing respectively. My prices might be different than the original screenshot (I'm in Canada and I'm not sure how they localize pricing), but the data amounts seems to line up with the selections in the screenshot.

I do not like that graph turning back on itself at the end. It implies some cursed time travel shit that I am not prepared to comprehend the consequences of.

Still mad that they killed the Guardian.

PEI resident here. As of last year, we've got ~180k people living here.

My partner is American (we're working on that), so I need to cross to visit them. I'm the most "works and office job and doesn't do much else" looking person you can imagine. I've been asked when the last time I was arrested was, how much drugs do I really have in the car when I said none the first time they asked, had them check my trunk and back seats because I handed them my passport funny, and almost been denied entry because I had a dress suit in my back seat.

I would never risk crossing if I wasn't a white male at this point.

Fun fact! Sharks have gills for breathing and nostrils for smelling, unlike us who have a mouth for breathing and nostrils for both!

The last time Maxime Bernier won his seat was 2015, the last time he ran as a Conservative.

I used sheets because it was portable and flexible, but now I'd almost always just use a db instead.

My main use for excel now is "I need to send data to someone who isn't a programmer" and doing json > CSV conversions to see if my 3000 rows of data from a 3rd party have all the necessary bits.

I really enjoyed spreadsheets before becoming a programmer (I still enjoy them, I just spend less time on them) and basically self taught over the years using Google Sheets.

There are several really useful functions on sheets that simply do not exist in Excel, and there are others that work almost the same but not quite. Having to use Excel drives me insane sometimes because of how clunky it feels.

By contrast, using LibreCalc feels kinda how you'd expect an open source Google Sheets to feel? It's slightly clunkier, but it gets the job done and generally feels better to use than Excel

 

I've been playing DnD since 5e came out, and I've always been a warlock fan. By far my favourite class to play, there's just so much versatility in the class.

I started playing BG3 with my table top group a few weeks ago, and to make sure that I don't miss out on story and stuff I started my own single player campaign. Created a Great Old One/Blade warlock that would mirror one of my favourite builds I've ever done (polearm master hexblade).

I'm now level 10 in game, and my Tav's Eldritch blast is absolutely terrifying. Between magic items and other features, I can pump out a minimum of 39 damage per cast (math at the bottom of this post).

It's just so useful, and allows me to have a proper DnD party where not everyone is combat optimized. I have a Dungeon Delver Astarion for dealing with traps and locked doors, Laezel and Karlach are different kinds of tanks, Gale casts Magic Missile and utility spells. I can actually take my "non-combat companions" into combat and not worry.

Now for the math:

Eldritch Blast:

  • 1d10 per beam on hit.

Level 9:

  • 3 Beams per cast

Agonizing Blast:

  • Add CHA mod damage to each beam.

Magic Clothing from Act 2 (can't remember name or how I got it):

  • Add CHA mod damage to every cantrip (basically duplicate of Agonizing blast)

Ring that grants advantage on all attacks:

  • Can't miss most targets

Ring that allows you to cast a cantrip as a bonus action once per short rest:

  • Double the number of beams

Hat that gives +2 CHA (max 22):

  • Gives 22 CHA (+6 mod)

With all of these buffs, eldritch blast becomes:

3 attack rolls +10 to hit /w advantage (1/400 to critical fail, 399/400 minimum 12 to hit) 1d10+12 damage per hit 1/short rest cast twice in one round.

Final damage totals:

Normal round: 39 - 66 (Avg. 54) Double round: 78 - 132 (Avg. 108)

 

In case anyone sees this and is heading to town this morning, Water St. has been closed, plan on taking Grafton St. or Riverside Dr.

Absolute genius, doing construction on all three routes off the bridge at the same time.

 

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, and it doesn't bother me, but I noticed this while messing around in the settings and figured I should mention it here.

My current cache is at 157.1 MB and maximum cache is set to 128 MB.

This might just be a nothing burger, but if it isn't I'd rather speak up than not. Loving the app
