Odd that there's so much hate for the image generation. I hate AI, but not for the images. I have an image generator myself and it's funny as hell. I hate AI for ruining the internet. After August of 2023, every search engine became borderline useless, and every "informative" website became auto generated dogshit.

I don't know at what point in the mythos it was added, but i recall being told by someone more into the fandom that the sabers could be set to different power levels, so when sparring, rather than kill and cut they would just shock the shit out of you or burn.

Have you ever fired a gun? Would you try it if given a chance? in c/[email protected]

Yes. I really can't understand why anyone watching the rise of fascists would still be anti gun.

So, do I liquidate now? Or wait it out? Sell everything and buy it back in two weeks?

You know, as I was typing that out, I was thinking "why would anyone believe me".

The complete events that unfolded sound like a story where everyone clapped for me, so instead of sounding like a kid making shit up, I'll just say, it smelled like bananas, I told someone the bees thing, and a week later the place shut down for a few days while a massive honeycomb/hive was removed from the ceiling.

I read about the smell on cracked in like 2008 and just parroted the info later, which turned out to be true, at least in this case.

Yeah. There was a restaurant near me that had a hive in their ceiling, and the whole store smelled like banana

With all the over militarized equipment they've deemed necessary to give out traffic tickets, I would assume those have ballot proof windshields

That's funny there's only one in my town, and it's facing the Lowes parking lot.

It's burnout. They see the headlines everyday, and the flowers just don't seem as bright as they used to.

‘The Dog Stars’: Ridley Scott’s $100M+ gamble, thousands of extras, eyeing 2025 release in c/[email protected]

It's one of my favorites, it's very unique. The main character contracted the illness that killed most people, and although he didn't die, the fever fried his brain, so he narrates in a weird broken stream of conciousness.

trying to find security cameras (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I want a security camera system that I can trust to be only my own. My requirements are not hugely unreasonable, but I can't find them the way search engines suck shit these days. I want a camera system with:

Local storage

No internet connection

No phone connection

No cables

No cloud storage option

No router necessary

And the option that seems impossible with the others: No option of remote connections

I don't want to see whats going on in real time on my phone, I want a completely private recording saved if I ever need to see if I got robbed. I don't want offline ability, I want cameras that can not connect to the internet at all, even through another device. I'm not worried about local network hacking, I want saved video that can only be viewed directly from the local storage. Longish life batteries so I don't have to route power, and no cables that can be unplugged. Solar powered would be nice, but isn't necessary.

Why is that so hard to find?

why is my whisky evaporating? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I have a heavy crystal decanter I've been using for years. A while back I was having some guests for a week, and thought I'd save some money and grabbed a bottle of Jim beam to put in it, as opposed to the higher end I tend to go for, because none of my guest cared about Bourbon. I noticed the level going down further than I had consumed. This has never been an issue before, so I figured someone had just nipped it while o was asleep. The next day, there was condensation on the inside, and the level had dropped further.

Since I'd been using the decanter for so long, I assumed the frosting on the stopper had rubbed off and it no longer sealed.

When it was empty, I refilled it with larceny, my standard, and to my surprise, it didn't evaporate at all for weeks.

Last night, I refilled it with beam again, and this morning, it had dropped and there was condensation on the side.

What really confused me, is Jim beam has a lower alcohol content than the Bourbons I usually fill the decanter with, so I would think it would evaporate as readily.

Why does only this one brand evaporate?

Quick searching gave me no results

Tldr: Why does Jim Beam evaporate in my decanter while nothing else does?

Is it possible to clone my standard windows setup? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I manage several computers, and every time I set up a new one I go through the same motions. Install w10, disable a bunch of shit, add the same list of programs, delete the same default apps, setup Firefox how I want it, run through Oosu, disable several services, and add some registry keys.

Is it possible to have a USB boot media that will do all the tweaking for me? As of right now it takes close to two hours every time, if could just plug in a drive and run the installer, it would make my life a lot easier.
