What is your goal? To save money? How much more does a heat pump cost? How quickly will the energy savings add up to the difference? How much more expensive and frequent will maintenance be?

How is an elf like a scorpion?

Ha. The two words I distinctly remembered learning while going on this journey are “forb” and “sedge”. The former being “I need nonwoody nongrass plants for my garden, what is the word for those plants?.” And the latter “how is this weed not considered a grass? It’s a sedge? What is that?”

Try to identify birds and trees. How did I go through life not being able to identify my natural surroundings?

I guess it depends on who you talk to.

Model trains are a hobby that I love for other people to get into. I want to see your trains and tracks and little villages you’re proud of. I just need my basement for all my other activities!

Yeah, I feel for the hobby shops because there’s only so much inventory a shop can hold onto and display and sell. How long do you think they gotta display servos before somebody comes looking for them? Compare that to the big Internet stores and I don’t know how they can compete.

Wargaming or anything that brings people to a hobby shop. Trains, RC vehicles, and kites are most acceptable and understandable to people on the outside but still looked down on.

So you just discovered how to be prejudiced. Congrats? 😂

“It’s not prejudice! It’s pattern recognition!”

Absolutely. Eggs are the perfect food. As Beyonce said “If you liked it you should have put an egg on it.”

Actually that’s a duck 🦆

Lemmy largely is very anti AI art. You’re basically going to a vegan convention and asking “Is it ok if I have a little meat? As a treat?”

Is there a well defined “then”? Shortcuts are hard to stop arbitrarily using. If your goal is to become a better artist I would focus more on practicing your art instead of fitting AI into your art.

What about self hosted AI image generators or companies who pay royalties to artists for units sold?

I think you have created complicated rules for “piracy I enjoy/condone is good. Copying that I don’t like is bad.”

I don’t see there being a lot of room for to ever defend piracy and also hate AI influenced art

Ha. I was looking at the wrong picture in the linked thingiverse file. It does fill them in. That does look better.

It means it has measured your bed and the left side of your bed is higher than the right. Don’t get twisted about the graphic as it can exaggerate the shape. Look at the numbers. I don’t know off the top of my head if those are excessive

It looks like you’re either way too close to the bed or your nozzle needs to be replaced. Looks like massive over extrusion. Fat fat print lines. Your model has no printing in the diagonal yet your print has it in almost every square. Maybe you’re failing to retraction.

It’s almost as if Putin just called him and said “Ok, this is what you say to get American support for invading your neighbor.”

I think this is pretty right in spirit. I think he did have love for the institutions of his time but did disagree with them and with the religious leaders of the time. If they could have comes to their senses he would welcome them too.
