  • Possibly. People that have allergic reactions to venomous stings can see it for multiple insects, though it’s not common. The only way to know is testing, by whacking a stick on the nests of different wasp species and taking note if any make you anaphylactic. If you’re all good, you can be more assured it’s just bees, but nothing’s 100% certain until you aggravate insects with a stick and test.

    So memes; not Shitposts.

    Fortunately, there’s plenty of meme communities here. Just type “meme” into search and start hitting that +. I’d also recommend blocking shitpost communities if you don’t like them, especially as it seems you’re viewing an uncurated “All”. Hope that helps :)



  • The issue is similar to using other people’s data for profit. It’s easy to not feel that’s the case because “it’s the AI that does that, not me.”

    There’s a lot of concerns around it. Mine is that we have longer periods of style with minimal variety because of artist stagnation due to lack of financial backing. Though, this is for all gen AI as it depends on humans for progression, else it stagnates. People are already getting AI art fatigue because it feels like that old 2005–2015 Adobe Illustrato vector art everyone was doing, because it is. It was an incredibly popular and overused style back then, so itt’ brimming with it in comparison to other art styles it got from the internet. It already looks dated, but acceptable because it’s familiar to most. It depends on more artists progressing our art to be able to do the same. But it won’t do that as fast if art culture is slowed due to lack of support.



  • I’ve done this with three friends, moving a couch from one part of the city to another, around 7pm at night. At first carrying seemed easy, but it soon got awkward and tiring. Then we ended up being able to very easily put it on our heads while arms kept it balanced and made excellent progress.

    Cops pulled up next to us around halfway, “Sorry guys, I have to ask. What the fuck are you doing?”

    “We’re moving this couch from one friend’s place to the other.”

    “Yep, thought it’d be something like that, but I had to ask. Be careful crossing streets.”

    Near the end, middle guy was resting it on his head too much, it burst through the fabric and he was temporarily couchhead.



  • When games are paused, this is just the timeline.

    If you truly want the game to pause, you would sit at the loading screen every time you unpaused, as you just stopped everything and it now needs to cache back in to where it was. Once it is all loaded back in, your CPU and memory loaded back up, the game can unpause. The game also has things running to prevent crashes, frame issues, memory management, etc. This is why you get a fair bit on the CPU and RAM even on the opening cinematic, it’s loaded up with all that extra stuff for environment.

    Obviously that’s not a pause feature, rather essentially what happens when you save and then load the save.






  • Actually the hotter peppers tend to have much more flavour. Jalapenos are a more flavourful than similar weak peppers, making them popular. However if you’ve built just some tolerance for hotter peppers and you don’t really notice the heat, that’s where flavour town starts and there’s so much variety.

    I make a lot of sauces and chutneys, and habanero is my favourite for its super strong flavour and versatility, despite not being too hot. But I also love some of the stronger peppers (like ghosts and reapers) for their heat. Like reaper has an acidic burn that goes amazing with vinegary sauces, but also has a fairly good flavour.




  • I haven’t done web work for well over a decade and recently was surprised to learn that Wordpress is still very relevant. I remember back then, seeking alternatives as we expected it to become more of a legacy thing a few years down the track, so we were on the lookout for future-proofing client sites with a better foundation. At that point it was a decade old and annoying af because it morphed into a messy way of doing websites because people misused it’s original purpose. Brain had to think like a blog and then trick it into doing what you want, kind of like using tables to structure pages before CSS-P saved the day.

    When I arrived again in Australia, floods happened again—hm, maybe I’m the problem—anyway! Insurance companies were trying to get out of payments by saying flood damage was covered as a result of flooding from rain. And yes, rain obviously caused the flooding, but the rain occured up on mountains which then flowed down and flooded areas below.

    The government regulators got onto it straight away.

    The final attempt argument was something like “The insurances cover water coming from above, not below.”

    Regulators didn’t have a bar of it. Insurance companies had to do—get this—insurance.

    Everyone was happy except for insurance companies and the people that lost their homes and got financially held up for over a year as the insurance companies tried to find any leftover money for payouts because the rest was in funds. Of course.
