unexpectedly high resolution portrait makes me unexpectedly uncomfortable

 

lmao I hoped so

Do you know who that is? (if anyone here does you would probably)

 

@Speedytech7 posted one awhile back of a meme blown way up with super high-res using some kind of program/witchcraft, that one was really weird.

Doesn't help that I'm right in front of a 27" monitor

 

I know, but only because I looked at the file name

 

Meme AI is really progressing, humans aren't, but useless Ai features are

I'm running one of these heh

 

Argh you fucker. Curses

 

I could ask lol. Even $750-$800 range would be better than $1100 or whatever they quoted me last year.

Yeah I’m extremely upset with FedEx. This time I sent it straight to a pickup location. So they can’t say it was destroyed riding in a truck for 2 days of routes. Dealers both said they can’t change the packaging (Conicelli used to be very cheap for me and would custom package all my expensive orders) so I guess it’s case by case with dealers.

I’ve been scarred for life after experiencing parts store racks on a few different trucks that belong to family members. Maybe I’m being dumb but I want to replace it and not touch it again past ps fluid changes, tie rods, and boot inspections.

 

Stuff that I need to buy.. Well I think I do anyway..

Apple iPad Mini AT&T (new version that is coming out this fall) since the old one has been around a while or something like an iPad AIR Pro -- not really familiar with the models.

Garmin InReach mini to have GPS and some form of communication where there is no cell coverage. I can't map shit on cell phone GPS if I don't have some level of cell coverage -- albeit interrupted.

 

I don't even trust parts stores anymore either after my starter had to be replaced again in a year. Plus most of the time its the same manufacturer. Might as well get it cheaper and risk the same online.

 

So I have an inreach, but I’m trying to figure out how that works with your cell phone mapping?

I map stuff using osmand on my old s7, but it’s a bit obtuse

 

I'm sorry but I just can't take anything a trash panda says seriously

Used to have a family of them that lived on the roof of my old place, and when I say family I mean immediate, extended and friends of. It was like a trash panda party on the roof every night during spring/summer.

the little ones are pretty cute though, I'll give them that. Before they grow up to be hissing garbage monkeys.

 

I don’t know if the inReach app has mapping? As far as I know all you can do is text off of it?

though they did just come out with a new device that lets you look at a map I believe.

is your inReach updated?

 

Nevermind, quick search proved me wrong

 

yeah you can definitely map with an in reach, I did my whole Alaska trip with one. And it does have the Earthmate app for viewing , but you really don’t need it - all the data points get logged over the satellite connection.


You can use the Earthmate app to send satellite text messages, but it doesn’t provide data service

 

I decided to accept the package. Rack wasn't covered in oil like the last one. I'm guessing fluid is still in the lines from pressure testing and they cap off the feed and return after. So the previous one having stains all over the box near the lines was very concerning.

It looks like the dealer opened the box to shove extra bubble wrap and paper inside. Figure that mounting tab can take a hit or two and nothing else was exposed directly to the outside.

 

At the beginning of the summer I was volunteering at a wildlife rescue. Young raccoons are fuckin adorable

 

my mom got a quote from a shipping company with a 2 star average rating based on 100+ reviews and I said I wasn't comfortable using them to ship things to my grandma.

My mom calls the company and they say "well we have an A+ BBB rating" and "our competitors write fake reviews to make us look bad". I feel crazy trying to convince her that the reviews claiming stuff was damaged or never showed up are probably more true than not.
