Can’t eat fur. Probably why it’s so much smaller than the meat industry.

Not too far, or its possible right now depending on jow you want to define “animated”. I feel like there uses to be really low-budget cartoons on air which were really just still frames with some shake added, couple soumd effects, and voice acting. A lot like SolidJJ on YouTube now. Those wouldn’t even be too hard to do, if the AI were just one tool in the set - could probably crank out a few a week, anyway.

If you’re looking for twenty minutes of animation that doesn’t shift around like a fever dream while you’re watching it, maybe six to eighteen months. I do think human voice actors would be required, but you could do the music with Suno.

I’ll just go ahead and leave a link to https://grayjay.app/ right here, for ad-free viewing on Android. Requires sideloading or F-Droid, but it’s worth it. Good software.

I’ll throw my hat in for starting with DS9. I’m just finishing the final season with my partner now - her first watch - and it’s really cemented why its my favourite Trek. It holds up incredibly well.

FWIW I’d go with seeing if you can get comfortable around him first, as suggested here. I definitely agree that you have to be ready before going on this trip, and hanging out with the dude to get to know him would be a big part of that. Because the truth is, the two of you likely have a some stuff in common and you’d probably get along really well under other circumstances.

If you’re not mad at her anymore, maybe it might help to view him through the lens of someone who makes her happy; there’s also an opportunity here to make a good friend who you can trust to take good care of her and your son if something happens to you. If you do decide to meet up with him, you might even ask her about some things she thinks you might like about him so you have some conversation starters. And, it’s clear that there’s good will on the other side to try and mend fences for the sake of the kid, which speaks well to both his character and that of your ex-wife. They could have just said no and never mentioned it to you, or worse they could have been scheming to cut you out of your son’s life. A holiday invitation kinda says a lot about how they view you, when you think of it like that.

However you decide bud I hope you manage okay through all this, and I do hope you can find a way to be friendly with him. It’s incredibly strong of you to even be considering putting yourself out there like that. As evidenced by most of the comments here, that would not be a common reaction. Good luck!

Splitting out storage and computer is definitely good first step to increase optimization and increase failure resiliency.

Exactly why I’ve been considering doing it this way for my new setup! I had to leave my last one on the other side of the planet and have felt positively cramped with just a couple TB worth of internal drives, can’t wait to properly spread out again.

And republicans would expand it again 🤷‍♀️

They did, nobody who needed to hear it listened. They were all busy voting on a single issue.

The same kind as being used by the hyper-rich to nip down the shops for a ham sandwich?

Is there anything about yourself you had to work hard on for the benefit of your son? Are you doing anything specifically to try and make sure he turns out well (whatever that might mean to you)?

I have never heard it called that, but IT is a big field - plenty of room to accommodate stylistic differences.

How kind of you, to use that word for it.

Is there a major difference between the newer Spiderman games, mechanically, or are they just longer stories/campaigns in some? (and by “newer” I mean since 2018, the last one I played was on the PS2 I think 😅)

But if you earn over the threshold, you’re expected to pay taxes to the US government, no matter where you’re actually living or working, no matter if you’re also paying taxes wherever you currently are. The US is the only country in the world to assert that it has the right to tax its citizens remotely in this manner. It’s not normal.

Probably think it’s equivalent to an announcement in the paper, but a sign on the door is free.

Life in the Imperium of Man is misery on a scale incomprehensible to our human minds. Ritualistic self-sacrifice is seen as preferable to existence. They survive because they became the monsters.

Give it a year.

We went from Deep Dream in 2015: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeepDream

To Midjourney and Stable Diffusion in 2022, to AI Will Smith eating spaghetti in March 2023: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ai-will-smith-eating-spaghetti

To services like LumaLabs and openAI’s Sora, coming out now/2025-ish.

This is the equivalent of the spaghetti video, for video games. This Minecraft clone being generated in real time and playable is absolutely crazy.

Zen is a fork of Firefox, supports Firefox extensions, and retains the built-in access to the Mozilla extension/theme stores from vanilla Firefox. If you go to install an addon, it even gives a popup to “Add to Firefox”.

It’s a good browser with only minor issues. I’m on Win10; automatic updates don’t always succeed, and it seems like it blocks some communication between the 1password desktop app and the browser extension because I have to sign into each separately. Otherwise, I prefer it to Firefox in pretty much every way.

Which society?
