Jeep commander lug nut size
New rims
2023.03.25 01:58 Turbulent_Prior_7506 New rims
So I just ordered a set of black Enkei TS-V’s for my car. I’ve never put aftermarket rims on a car before. I got a set of hubcentric rings and tire pressure sensors. Do I need another set of lug nuts as well, or will the factory ones work?

2023.03.25 01:26 xSNYPSx Absolute robotization and its impact on humanity
Today I want to write my vision of the near future facing humanity in the next decade.
The progress of Artificial Intelligence continues. His achievements are increasingly covering the material sphere of life. Soon, we will all be able to see firsthand the new generation of synthetic robots performing everyday tasks. But how exactly will this be implemented?
First, the first AI platforms will appear. Conventionally, these platforms will have sections for each robot separately. In 2023-25, massive humanoid robots with legs, arms and hands will already appear. The most popular models will have millions of sales, and will be the largest ecosystem for them. In each section of an individual robot, Models will be presented for its behavior in various situations. You can imagine a robot as a phone, then its section is its operating system, and the robot's behavior models are applications that can be installed and removed on it. The robot can be taught yoga, cooking, delivery and fishing, these will be independent models of behavior, which the robot can either train independently, or download a ready-made model according to the rating level. It is long and expensive to train the robot yourself, but over time, training will require less time and data, which will allow you to generate these models on the fly, but only for the simplest tasks, be it floor cleaning. Complex tasks will take a longer time to master, and then the question of a more effective choice will arise - to learn quickly some task yourself, if a ready-made model of this task does not yet exist at all, or download a ready-made one. In addition, the structure of the operating system is very important, but it will be easy and understandable for everyone. The robot itself will wait for commands in standby mode. When it receives a command, it converts the voice into text, tries to isolate the meaning from the text, just like Google search is doing it now, comparing it with Action Models. If the model is found, the robot performs the action, having previously specified the initial criteria for the selected task. If the action model is not found in the robot's memory, the robot invites the owner to create his own or download it from the Internet. Behaviors such as painting walls, washing floors, cooking will be widespread, have many alternatives, and possibly even be used in parallel. Some complex tasks, including working at a computer for a robot, or, for example, repairing a computer, will need to train a lot of time and spend a lot of energy on them, which will be available at first only to the largest companies, then to medium-sized ones, and after a while to everyone, as of how teaching methods will get cheaper. At some point, even incredibly complex tasks can be mastered in the shortest possible time, but more complex ones will appear, the complexity of the tasks and the speed of learning these tasks will increase exponentially over time. Today the largest companies train robots for the simplest tasks. The number of companies will keep growing, training will keep getting cheaper, and robots will get smarter. The trend cannot be stopped.
I am sure, less then in 2 years AI companies will make AI that can control humanoid bot, which can do any human hand work. This means only one thing. When they will make 100 such bots, this bots will double every 1-3 months. By 2030, we can have 1 Million-1Billion such robots, which will make everything and change our life LIKE NOTHING BEFORE !
For example, they will produce all food for everyone, but NOT only food. Fabric production will become not just automated, but robotized with universal clever humanoid workers.
Also they can do some landscaping and environmental management. But wait.
Remember what I tell you in the beginning? If they can do everthing, they will making new factories to produce themselves MORE and MORE. This is not like electrocars. 1 electrocar cant produce other 2 electocars. If 1000 robots can produce factory that can produce 10000 robots per year, then 1 robot can produce 10 per year. You guys know what I mean ? Exponential grow of robot population in this decade. And this is not a funny joke, this soon will be our reality.
Oh cmon, but how much robots we REALLY need ? Somebody will say 100000 robots per city will be FAR enough to cover all the needs of the city and will absolutely right. BUT. What we really want from our life ? I mean, in near future we all will all have a certain resource. Resource, that humanity never have before. We can call it ABILITY TO CREATE. Create almost without borders. So, after we cover all our ordinary needs, what we will do next ? What is humanity really capable of with such power?
Mega projects. Yep, this things will be next after working humanoid robot revolution. After day, then count of robots will more then 1 billion, things will change really fast. Making new islands in pacific sea near Hawaii ? Of coures. How much people want to live on Maldives ? What if we can create Maldives the size of Eurasia in the Pacific? They would accommodate 2 times more people than they currently live on earth.
God only knows what incredible things we can create in this century. But the truth is, we can't even imagine it all. We got so caught up in films about the future that we forgot that the present future is actually UNKNOWN to us and most likely it WILL NOT look like what we CAN imagine. This fact fascinates me every time.
And I will not tire of asserting that the beginning of this will be laid already in this decade. Very soon, the first robot will come off the assembly line, understanding your commands and simply executing them. At this point, you can safely say that this is the beginning of singularity.

https://www.reddit.com/singularity/comments/k0csiabsolute_robotization/
https://www.reddit.com/Futurology/comments/jp6o30/how_humanoid_robots_will_make_impact_in_nea
I still have this optimistic vision of the future and feel that my predictions are coming true before my eyes.
I want to share these articles with new members /r singularity because so many good people have joined us over the last year
P.S.
I want to add that it is in this article (in my opinion) that the whole purpose and direction of the arrow of the entire progress of the human colossus in the current decade is contained. I don't presume to judge what goal we as a species will begin to pursue in the next decade, it can be both the conquest of the cosmos, and going deep into the mind and matter. But the current task of obtaining an absolute transorative power over the physical world must be completed before 2030 and the direction is clear to me. Not an ounce of pessimism.

Phase 1) Creating A Meaningful NicheEvery day I hear people going on and on about trying to find their niche.I also hear people talking about how they don’t know how to combine what they love talking about with what will sell.You already have the answer. You just don’t have the clarity.
Phase 2) Content StrategyThere is one thing that separates those who make it in the digital economy and those who don’t.It’s the quality, articulation, and perceived originality of their content.The content you post has to make sense to the people you attract.Everyone has a different voice and tone that they resonate with. That they are congruent with and trust.It has to change their thought patterns or behavior — that’s what makes you memorable.That’s what separates you from the sea of people posting surface-level copy-cat style posts.Example and putting my money where my mouth is:
Phase 3) Crafting Your OfferMost people are sitting on a goldmine of skills, experience, and knowledge (that they can use to help people 1-2 steps behind them).That is what people pay for.Considering 95% of the market are beginners… if you are good at something, you can help them get to your level (no matter how “basic” you think the information is).Do you not watch basic content all day anyway? People don’t want new information, they want to be reminded of what works.
Phase 4) Marketing StrategyYou aren’t making money because you aren’t promoting yourself or your offer.That is literally the only way to make money. Have something desirable and consistently put it in front of peoples’ faces.In Phase 4, I will show you how to systemize, automate, and be consistent with simple promotions.You will be able to make money without having the chance of forgetting to do it (or letting fear of failure get in the way).
Bonus) The Creator Command CenterThe Creator Command Center is a Notion template that houses all of the systems.This is how you will manage your brand, content, offer creation, marketing strategy, and systemized promotions for consistent sales.Bonus) Live Product Build & LaunchIn the first Digital Economics Cohort, I built out my course The 2 Hour Writer.I have videos showing how I build it with the strategies in phase 3 and 4.There is a bonus module that shows how I had an $85,000 launch that resulted in my first $100K month.I did this to prove the strategies inside Digital Economics work if you stick to the plan.And, this past Black Friday, I blew my that monthly high out of the water in 4 days.That’s the power of these strategies if you stay consistent with your life’s work. |
2023.03.25 00:39 BetterReThanProlapse Day twenty-one: Chunks
Again, a late entry. Maybe I should chunk my time better. What are chunks you ask? Well...
Having motivation is important for achieving your goals. But all the motivation in the world won't get you far without some structure, lest you end up like a coked-up squirrel randomly zig-zagging across the yard in search of the nuts it's buried.
So structure is paramount, not only in terms of how to go from A to B to C, but also within your day, that is, trying to answer the question of how to assign your time to the various tasks at hand. This is especially important since time is a limited resource.
So I present to you the half-hour chunks method:
Ideally, this helps you get over the hump from "gotta get these things done" to actually doing them.
Also, as someone who is kind of "time blind", I have the hope that this will help me learn how much time certain things take and how to better structure my day.
FAQ:
Q: Do these chunks have to be exactly half an hour?
A: No! Chunks can of course have any length you like, but I believe that half an hour is a good bite-sized chunk, not too much, not too little. I chose so specifically because to most things I want to do every day I want to devote at least half an hour, like exercise or meditation. Also it jives well with the Pomodoro method. If you need more resolution, you can go down with the chunk size but going up could end up leaving you with a lot of dead time.
Q: Do the chunks all need to have the same length?
A: I guess not. But it's more neat (neater?) to just have them all have the same length and adjust accordingly. See also the next questions for this.
Q: What if I need more time for a given task?
A: Easy, just assign another chunk. Depending on whether your task is time-sensitive or not, you can block another chunk immediately afterwards or just assign another chunk for the next day, respectively.
Q: What if I'm finished quicker than [insert chunk size here]?
A: That's the best part! If you're done early, you just take a break, as a little treat for working so hard and fast (no cheating tho – no assigning one hour chunks for bringing out the garbage).
Q: Can I split chunks, for example one fifteen minute session in the morning and one in the evening?
A: Good question. I don't see why not! Have half a junk here, the other half there! Just don't lose track of your chunks. This is where a calendar comes in handy.

So I present to you the half-hour chunks method:
- Identify the tasks you want to achieve on a given day (a to-do planner will come in handy).
- Take those tasks and assign each (at least) one half hour chunk.
- Lay your structure out in front of you, either physically write it down or put it in your calendato-do app.
Ideally, this helps you get over the hump from "gotta get these things done" to actually doing them.
Also, as someone who is kind of "time blind", I have the hope that this will help me learn how much time certain things take and how to better structure my day.

2023.03.25 00:36 Steel_Rail_Blues Using the ice cream maker question
How do you keep the ice cream from getting on the shaft (where the regular beaters attach to)?
It looks like the previous version attachment had a part that fit over the shaft, but this latest version doesn’t. I was only making 1 quart batches, not the 2 quarts the equipment should be able to handle, and this was happening. It doesn’t seem to matter how I position the dasher in relation to the shaft as the position will change as the ice cream thickens.
I borrowed the KitchenAid ice cream maker attachment from my library (love their Library of Things program!) and really enjoyed making ice creams with it. Compared with my Cuisinart standalone ice cream maker, the KitchenAid is about 50% quieter. In addition to being quieter, the KitchenAid seems to struggle less when incorporating larger nuts like chopped pecans. (There was a moment in one of the KitchenAid batches where a nut must have just been the right size to go partially between the bowl and the dasher and the noise made me think the stem broke, but everything turned out fine.) Both ice cream makers produced good results, but the KitchenAid attachment required more attention to keep ice cream from getting into my shaft pin and spring.

Kept you waiting huh?
Yeah so... whew, things have been stressed over here for me. University eats up a lot of your time, who knew?
I hope I never have to keep you guys waiting this long ever again, please accept this twice-as-long chapter as reconciliation.
First Prev
Memory Transcription Subject: K-31 Endeavor, Off-Duty Gaian Security Guard, November 10th, 2142
Royo was probably the most excited when the news came out. As part of a celebration of the alliance between the Venlil Republic and the Gaian Concord, restrictions on what we could do were reeled way back. We couldn't show our faces or take off our suits, of course, but for the first time, we could go around town and interact with the locals more without having to fill out a bunch of paperwork or be put into an assignment specifically allowing it.
Meaning, of course, that me and Royo could take a trip around town. On top of that, "gaian" culture, that is, human media that had been re-done and censored to avoid anything that could trace us back to humanity and our predatory nature, was being shown in a much greater capacity. Music, though lacking lyrics, was quickly becoming popular, and for the first time, actual gaians were appearing on television series, including The Exterminators.
That show always rubbed me the wrong way, but it seemed popular with the locals. Royo in particular said he had begun watching it because of the relatively recent gaian inclusion in the show; gaian characters that were previously CG were now portrayed by genuine gaians, and after our encounter during the raid, he had taken a liking to the show. I hadn't personally watched more than a couple episodes, despite my boss telling me I should take the time to watch the series; it was good to be in touch with Federation culture, he told me.
Regardless, now that I had a couple days off, Royo was insistent on taking me around town. The first ever gaian movie to be shown to the public was apparently in theaters as of today as well, The First Steps, which from what I could gather was a retelling of Apollo 11, but heavily altered to fit gaian narratives. Should be an interesting watch, at any rate.
I received a notification on my HUD, a message from Royo.
"Are you at the place?"
I tapped on my arm touchpad.
"Yes, I'm at the southeast transit station, third bench to the right on the main entryway. Waiting for you."
I watched as trains passed through the underground tunnel. Well, the Venlil equivalent to a maglev, anyway. It was quite fast, and I admired their efficiency. Venlil came and went through the station, as well as the occasional Krakotl or Harchen, and even a couple gaians at one point, chatting it up with a group of Venlil. Seems like I'm not the only gaian Venlils are bringing out here to have a good time.
"Hey!"
The familiarly cheery voice rang put, eliciting an unseen smile from beneath my helmet.
"Hey buddy!" I laughed and ruffled his hair. He had grown to like the little mannerisms that I found myself instinctively performing on him, and I couldn't deny how endearing he had become to me.
"Ready to go to the big city?" He asked excitedly.
"Hmm aw gee, I dunno now, I'm kinda scared now, what if-"
"W-wha? Hey! What do you mean!?"
"Relax, Royo" I laughed. "I was just joking."
"Oh… right! Haha! Uh, so next train looks like it's headed to Grand Hill, that's the place!"
"Well then let's go!"
The tram wasn't too dissimilar to what might've been found back on Earth, though it was a bit small for my liking, and I found myself having to contort my body a bit in order to fit into the seats. Looking around, there were a few venlil glancing at us, but nothing negative, atleast from what I had learned from Venlil body language.
It was a very smooth ride, if it weren't for the windows you probably couldn't even tell we were moving.
"First, I wanna take you to my favorite restaurant in the galaxy, Virdi's. They have the best experience on the planet! Then, we could go see a movie and finish it off with a trip to the local bar!"
Seemed like he definitely had the day planned out. This was the planet he lived on though, I am but an alien visitor, so I was sure he knows what he was talking about, and I went along with it. I was sure it'd be a good time.
First stop was Virdi's. Now, I'm not an expert on Venlil culture but from what I could gather, it seems to be comparable to one of those local places that have good food but isn't famous, so the place isn't packed. Not trashy, but far for being particularly fancy, which suited me just fine.
A few customers glanced to look at us, but thankfully we didn't draw a crowd or start a scene. Gaians were novel, but most had grown atleast mostly accompanied to them. We took an empty seat and were served an appetizer of basic assortment of fruits and nuts which were totally foreign to me. Royo already began to eat some, but I hesitated.
"Whats the matter?" Royo asked.
I scanned over the fruits and nuts. My HUD informed me they're safe to eat.
"Uh, nothing just, I've never eaten these before."
"You've never had yira nuts before?"
"I've never had any of this. We always eat the wafers that are prepared for us."
"That's no way to live. Come on, give them a try!"
I pick up a single nut and bring it close to where my mouth would be. Automatically, a small section of my helmet opens like a miniature sliding door, allowing access to my mouth. As per training I was careful to cover it so no one could see my canines, and put the nut in my mouth, and chewed.
It was kind of like an almond, but sweeter and oddly… tangy? It didn't taste bad at any rate. Crunchy, too.
"That's not bad," I admit.
"Try the fruits too!"
I pick up a fruit. A small, yellow object with some firmness to it. It resembled a red blood cell in its shape, disc-like with a risen outer edge. I pop it into my mouth. It's very chewy and-
My mouth explodes with flavor. This is incredible… sweet like some sort of honey-candy, with the perfect consistency. Is this a natural growth on Dayden?
"Oh my gosh…" the trapdoor on my helmet snaps shut as my hand leaves the vicinity. "This is amazing…"
"See? I knew you'd love it!"
I take a handful from the bowl and stuff it into my mouth, letting the mix of nutty and fruity flavor flood my mouth.
This is so good!
I couldn't tell if this food was just so amazing it blew everything out of the park, or if I had just grown numb to the same bland processed food wafers they'd been feeding me while planet-side.
The two of us continue to eat, and Royo commented on the little door in my helmet.
"So, that's how you guys eat huh?"
"Hmm? Oh, yeah. Well, usually for larger social meals we take our helmets off and eat, but that's not for you guys to see."
"Right… can't hardly see what's in there."
"That's the point."
Before long the bowl was empty.
"Hey so um… where are the menus?"
Royo laughed. "No menu here! They just fill the bowl with various fruits and nuts and when you're full they pay you a flat fee.
Oh, so sort of like a buffet, but a more social gathering where they bring fresh bowls of food. That's interesting.
"I need to eat out more," I chuckled.
"Hey um… sorry if this is a weird question but… I've just gotta ask, how do you… you know… expel waste, when you're wearing that all the time?" Royo asked.
The question caught me off guard, but it was innocent enough.
"We have a urine collection device so we just kinda relieve ourselves whenever we need to."
"Um… okay but what about… you know…"
"Ah… um, well, we try and hold it until we can get somewhere to take it off. The nutrient wafers we eat are extremely low in waste product so, we often don't need to go for several days."
"Oh I see. Sorry I know that was probably weird of me to ask…"
"No, no, it's fine! It's fine," I laughed. "Come to think of it I'm surprised I've never been asked that question before.
According to my HUD, we had spent a little over 30 minutes talking and eating. Royo had stopped eating long before I did, his little stomach couldn't pack away as much as I could.
"So, that Gaian movie they're showing…"
"Hm? Oh yeah, First Steps right? The one about Armst- I mean, the one about our origins as a nomadic species."
"Wanna go see it? I'm dying to see a movie about gaians from your perspective."
"Sure I'd definitely be up for it, sounds like a good time."
Admittedly, I was curious about just how much they changed history to make our journey into space acceptable for Federation viewing. I had no doubt in my mind it wouldn't at all be accurate, but at the very least it'd be nice to watch a movie with Royo. It'd certainly be more my speed than The Exterminators.
When we were finished eating, we received a flat fee for our time there, which Royo paid. It was only a short walk over to the theater, about 10 minutes.
"Maybe we should take a cab," I teased him. "So I don't have to carry you in my arms all the way to the theater."
"Oh shut up…" he replied, but I could tell from the tail signing I had picked up that he secretly enjoyed the teasing.
The theater was packed. Looks like the prospect of seeing the first gaian movie to be shown to the public was a popular one. Venlil theaters didn't include snacks to eat while watching the movie, but they also had seating more akin to giant elongated couches rather than individual seats, which was a godsend for someone like me who could barely, if ever, fit into Venlil seating.
The theater screen was also quite different. It was more panoramic, obviously to accommodate Venlil vision range. Making the screen straight forward wouldn't make any sense to them. That made the movie a little bit harder to follow along with, but I did the best I could.
So, as I expected, the movie is an adaptation of Apollo 11. An extremely loose adaptation of Apollo 11.
For starters, everyone is wearing the suits. Well, a precursor to the suits. Only the astronauts actually wear pressure suits, everyone on the ground and at mission control wear looser clothing that still obscures all skin and features from the camera. Of course, the historical names are all changed as well.
Neil Armstrong is now "H-15 Unity" and Buzz Aldrin is now "U-61 Admirality". The ever-forgotten Micheal Collins is "B-87 Serenity", and, female interestingly enough, and even Gene Krantz gets a gaian remake as "Y-23 Conviction"; I'd recognize that personality at the head of mission control no matter how many layers of censorship they put over him.
I couldn't quite recognize the planet the movie takes place on; it's undeniably Earth-like, but the vegetation seemed just a tad off. Maybe it was all CG. They call their planet "Terra", which to any gaians watching would obviously be a stand-in for Earth, though I'm pretty sure this is the first time the name of any Gaian homeworld has ever been stated in any official capacity. "Terra" does not appear in any Federation databanks, at any rate.
The story of course, also had to be changed. The real story probably wouldn't fly… rising tensions between two rival superpowers threatening each other with nuclear weapons, going to the moon to show off their technology for launching warheads? Yeah that wouldn't do. Though, I was surprised with the actual direction they went.
The narrative given in First Steps is that gaians have immense respect for all planets, and rather than stay and settle these planets, eventually stripping them dry, they move from planet to planet to avoid wrecking the local ecosystems. This of course, was a completely foreign concept to the Federation, dare I say it could make the movie controversial, but hopefully it helped sway some folks into being less destructive with their colonialism.
During the events of the movie of course, Gaians are united and just now developing the technology for spaceflight, preparing to leave their birth planet. And the first steps in that journey of course, is a trip to the moon and back. That out of the way, the rest of the movie is actually very similar to the real events. The rocket they used to leave their planet is blatantly a Saturn V, it's not even modified at all.
The costumes and spacecraft were actually surprisingly faithful to the historical ones. The NASA logo and American flag were changed to the Gaian Concord's symbol, the bubble-helmets were made a uniform opaque all around, and the lander had its iconic triangular windows moved from the front to the sides to lessen any potentially predatory parallels, but aside from that, they looked just like the real things, which would be completely new to all the Venlil in the audience.
Of course, they had to introduce some drama. In real life, the landing went almost flawlessly and without a hitch, but that doesn't make for a riveting scene. So naturally they spiced it up. Failing RCS thrusters and a small explosion destroying the antenna leads the team back home to believe they had crashed. Having lost all contact with mission control, the gaians on Terra begin to mourn their loss. However "Serenity" (Collins), who's job was to wait in orbit to rendevous and bring them back home, refused to return home.
"No Command, with all due respect, I don't think you do understand. I decided a long time ago that if something like this were to happen, that I wasn't coming home alone. I'm staying right where I am."
Mission control panics, not knowing what to do. Just when all hope seems lost and everyone thinks they're going to lose Serenity as well, communications resume, Unity and Admiralty having fixed the antenna to reveal a messy, but successful, landing. Everyone at home celebrates, Serenity cries tears of joy, and the two astronauts on the surface erect the flag of the Gaian Concord. A jazzy, triumphant song fades in as the two astronauts happily hop around, and as the reflection of "Terra", an Earth with different continents, appears on Unity's visor, the credits roll.
For a xeno-safe reimagining of Apollo 11, this really wasn't too bad. I actually found myself enjoying it when I tried to put myself in Royo's shoes, seeing all this for the first time. Apollo 11 had been turned into dozens of movies for humans by this point of course, and it was far from the best version I had seen. But Royo definitely seemed to enjoy it, his eyes had been glued to the screen the entire time.
"That was amazing!" Exclaimed Royo as we left the theater. "Is that all true? Did that happen?"
"Yes, well, mostly" I lied. "It's definitely more… dramatized than the actual historical event," I answered. Technically the truth, though "idealized" might be another word to add there.
"Well, I loved it. You gaians sure know how to make an impression!"
It wasn't THAT good. Fine, I guess.
"So, ready for some drinks?"
Oh yeah that's right, Royo wanted to take me out to the bar.
"Oh, yeah! Sure. That sounds like a nice way to end it off."
After another short walk, we walk to the bar. The sun was already beginning to set, had we really been in the theater that long?
We take our seats, and the bar looked very similar to what one would expect on Earth. Stools, a bartender with drinks, looked promising. Our helmets had built in drinking straws which we could put into anything we needed to drink. Never a bad idea to save on your own water supply after all. The bartender slid me a drink, I sipped, and immediately spat it out inside my helmet, which registered as a gargling shout on my vocoder.
"Holy shit! What's in this? How strong is it?"
"Its… only 60% alcohol, sir," the bartender replied.
60 percent!? Can Venlil stomachs handle liquor that strong?
"We, uh I mean… I uh, can't handle drinks that strong. It's uh… a condition. Yknow."
"Weakest we have is 40%..."
"Could you uh… maybe water it down?"
That got me some weird looks.
"Heh alright. Big strong gaian needs his alcohol tame."
If my helmet didn't cover my face I'd have given her an unamused look, but for now I just took the watered down drink and sipped with my straw. That was definitely better, and the fruity taste reminded me of the rum my local brewery back home produced. Very sweet once I could actually taste the stuff.
"Are all gaians that sensitive to alcohol?" Royo asked.
"Uhh… no…" technically the truth. There were some folks who could down Vodka like it's nothing.
"Just a condition. Don't worry about it, I'm a little more sensitive, that's all. Won't stop us from having fun!"

**Memory Transcription Subject: Royo, Venlil Civilian, November 10th, 2142,*
It was kinda funny seeing Endeavor sip watered down alcohol through a straw like he was a child, but I wasn't one to judge. We went through drink after drink, and Endeavor was becoming more and more… woozy. He hadn't had any more drinks than I had, AND they were watered down, yet he was already wobbling.
"Yall see the new gaian movie yet?" The bartender asked.
Before I could respond, Endeavor slammed his drink on the table and answered in slurred speech.
"Fackin… stupid… they had to water it down for the…" hic "Venlil… none of that movie is fuckin accurate…" hic
I thought that maybe we should get Endeavor back home now with how intoxicated he was becoming, but I couldn't deny my curiosity in what he was saying.
"Serenity wasn't a fuckin girl… and his name was COLLINS" he shouted.
Collins? I'd never heard that word before.
By now we were definitely getting some weird stares.
"Uh… Endeavor, maybe we should-"
"Aww Royo you fuckin… I just wanna KISS you ya fuckin… adorable little… hrnng…"
"Well, I hope the bit about leaving the planets alone was also wrong. Leaving natural predators to wreck the planet is just irresponsible. I was hoping we'd see some exterminators in the movie," one other bar patron commented.
Endeavor swiveled around, holding up one finger as though accusing.
"Yooouuuuuu… mother-fuckers… you guys are just… fuckin… torch everything you don't like! That's fucked!"
What was Endeavor talking about? The extermination of predators? Everyone knew that was something that had to be done to save the environment. Predators were a curse on the planets they inhabited, and wouldn't stop until everything was ravaged.
"H-hey Endeavor, let's go home-"
"What did you just call me!?" The other Venlil yelled, getting off his stool.
"I said…" hic "that you guys are a bunch of planet-destroying maniacs," he laughed. "Did you know we gaians banned flamethrower? That's cuz they're fucked up!"
Okay he definitely isn't thinking straight.
"P-please, pay no mind to him… he's sensitive to alcohol!" I tried to remedy the situation and brought him down from his stool. He stumbled, and… I think vomited? Oh my stars… he vomited inside his helmet.
His stumbles became struggles and muffled yelling as vomit threatened to suffocate him, and I almost puked myself with the image in my mind. I took his hand and forcefully brought him to the bathroom, which was thankfully empty, and locked the door.
Endeavor was grasping at his neck, which I thought was instinctual, until I noticed two pairs of buttons and a pair of latches…
Endeavor's helmet came off. From behind, I saw a gaian's head. Mostly bald, with a small patch of dark hair on the top. Light, pale skin, a pair of very small ears on either side. Puke was smeared across the inside of his helmet, and it dropped from what must have been his mouth as he panted and groaned on his knees.
Tentatively, I slowly walked around him, and froze in place.
His eyes aren't on the sides.
Endeavor turned his head at me, two binocular eyes locked onto me with crazed vigor, mouth agape with two pairs of pointed teeth.
I screamed.

Memory Transcription Subject: K-31 Endeavor, Off-Duty Gaian Security Guard, November 10th, 2142
Royo was probably the most excited when the news came out. As part of a celebration of the alliance between the Venlil Republic and the Gaian Concord, restrictions on what we could do were reeled way back. We couldn't show our faces or take off our suits, of course, but for the first time, we could go around town and interact with the locals more without having to fill out a bunch of paperwork or be put into an assignment specifically allowing it.
Meaning, of course, that me and Royo could take a trip around town. On top of that, "gaian" culture, that is, human media that had been re-done and censored to avoid anything that could trace us back to humanity and our predatory nature, was being shown in a much greater capacity. Music, though lacking lyrics, was quickly becoming popular, and for the first time, actual gaians were appearing on television series, including The Exterminators.
That show always rubbed me the wrong way, but it seemed popular with the locals. Royo in particular said he had begun watching it because of the relatively recent gaian inclusion in the show; gaian characters that were previously CG were now portrayed by genuine gaians, and after our encounter during the raid, he had taken a liking to the show. I hadn't personally watched more than a couple episodes, despite my boss telling me I should take the time to watch the series; it was good to be in touch with Federation culture, he told me.
Regardless, now that I had a couple days off, Royo was insistent on taking me around town. The first ever gaian movie to be shown to the public was apparently in theaters as of today as well, The First Steps, which from what I could gather was a retelling of Apollo 11, but heavily altered to fit gaian narratives. Should be an interesting watch, at any rate.
I received a notification on my HUD, a message from Royo.
"Are you at the place?"
I tapped on my arm touchpad.
"Yes, I'm at the southeast transit station, third bench to the right on the main entryway. Waiting for you."
I watched as trains passed through the underground tunnel. Well, the Venlil equivalent to a maglev, anyway. It was quite fast, and I admired their efficiency. Venlil came and went through the station, as well as the occasional Krakotl or Harchen, and even a couple gaians at one point, chatting it up with a group of Venlil. Seems like I'm not the only gaian Venlils are bringing out here to have a good time.
"Hey!"
The familiarly cheery voice rang put, eliciting an unseen smile from beneath my helmet.
"Hey buddy!" I laughed and ruffled his hair. He had grown to like the little mannerisms that I found myself instinctively performing on him, and I couldn't deny how endearing he had become to me.
"Ready to go to the big city?" He asked excitedly.
"Hmm aw gee, I dunno now, I'm kinda scared now, what if-"
"W-wha? Hey! What do you mean!?"
"Relax, Royo" I laughed. "I was just joking."
"Oh… right! Haha! Uh, so next train looks like it's headed to Grand Hill, that's the place!"
"Well then let's go!"
The tram wasn't too dissimilar to what might've been found back on Earth, though it was a bit small for my liking, and I found myself having to contort my body a bit in order to fit into the seats. Looking around, there were a few venlil glancing at us, but nothing negative, atleast from what I had learned from Venlil body language.
It was a very smooth ride, if it weren't for the windows you probably couldn't even tell we were moving.
"First, I wanna take you to my favorite restaurant in the galaxy, Virdi's. They have the best experience on the planet! Then, we could go see a movie and finish it off with a trip to the local bar!"
Seemed like he definitely had the day planned out. This was the planet he lived on though, I am but an alien visitor, so I was sure he knows what he was talking about, and I went along with it. I was sure it'd be a good time.
First stop was Virdi's. Now, I'm not an expert on Venlil culture but from what I could gather, it seems to be comparable to one of those local places that have good food but isn't famous, so the place isn't packed. Not trashy, but far for being particularly fancy, which suited me just fine.
A few customers glanced to look at us, but thankfully we didn't draw a crowd or start a scene. Gaians were novel, but most had grown atleast mostly accompanied to them. We took an empty seat and were served an appetizer of basic assortment of fruits and nuts which were totally foreign to me. Royo already began to eat some, but I hesitated.
"Whats the matter?" Royo asked.
I scanned over the fruits and nuts. My HUD informed me they're safe to eat.
"Uh, nothing just, I've never eaten these before."
"You've never had yira nuts before?"
"I've never had any of this. We always eat the wafers that are prepared for us."
"That's no way to live. Come on, give them a try!"
I pick up a single nut and bring it close to where my mouth would be. Automatically, a small section of my helmet opens like a miniature sliding door, allowing access to my mouth. As per training I was careful to cover it so no one could see my canines, and put the nut in my mouth, and chewed.
It was kind of like an almond, but sweeter and oddly… tangy? It didn't taste bad at any rate. Crunchy, too.
"That's not bad," I admit.
"Try the fruits too!"
I pick up a fruit. A small, yellow object with some firmness to it. It resembled a red blood cell in its shape, disc-like with a risen outer edge. I pop it into my mouth. It's very chewy and-
My mouth explodes with flavor. This is incredible… sweet like some sort of honey-candy, with the perfect consistency. Is this a natural growth on Dayden?
"Oh my gosh…" the trapdoor on my helmet snaps shut as my hand leaves the vicinity. "This is amazing…"
"See? I knew you'd love it!"
I take a handful from the bowl and stuff it into my mouth, letting the mix of nutty and fruity flavor flood my mouth.
This is so good!
I couldn't tell if this food was just so amazing it blew everything out of the park, or if I had just grown numb to the same bland processed food wafers they'd been feeding me while planet-side.
The two of us continue to eat, and Royo commented on the little door in my helmet.
"So, that's how you guys eat huh?"
"Hmm? Oh, yeah. Well, usually for larger social meals we take our helmets off and eat, but that's not for you guys to see."
"Right… can't hardly see what's in there."
"That's the point."
Before long the bowl was empty.
"Hey so um… where are the menus?"
Royo laughed. "No menu here! They just fill the bowl with various fruits and nuts and when you're full they pay you a flat fee.
Oh, so sort of like a buffet, but a more social gathering where they bring fresh bowls of food. That's interesting.
"I need to eat out more," I chuckled.
"Hey um… sorry if this is a weird question but… I've just gotta ask, how do you… you know… expel waste, when you're wearing that all the time?" Royo asked.
The question caught me off guard, but it was innocent enough.
"We have a urine collection device so we just kinda relieve ourselves whenever we need to."
"Um… okay but what about… you know…"
"Ah… um, well, we try and hold it until we can get somewhere to take it off. The nutrient wafers we eat are extremely low in waste product so, we often don't need to go for several days."
"Oh I see. Sorry I know that was probably weird of me to ask…"
"No, no, it's fine! It's fine," I laughed. "Come to think of it I'm surprised I've never been asked that question before.
According to my HUD, we had spent a little over 30 minutes talking and eating. Royo had stopped eating long before I did, his little stomach couldn't pack away as much as I could.
"So, that Gaian movie they're showing…"
"Hm? Oh yeah, First Steps right? The one about Armst- I mean, the one about our origins as a nomadic species."

Phase 2) Content StrategyThere is one thing that separates those who make it in the digital economy and those who don’t.It’s the quality, articulation, and perceived originality of their content.The content you post has to make sense to the people you attract.Everyone has a different voice and tone that they resonate with.

I was gifted an OE style spare tire carrier for my 2011 JK from either Extreme Terrain or Quadratec, I'm not sure which company, and there were no lug nuts in the box. Can I use normal Jeep lugs? Or is this kinda a trial and error things depending upon pitch of the studs? Thanks for your help!

2023.03.24 23:12 ConstantHealth5338 Any tips on how to fix face/eyes?
Hi guys.
Since everything here (on Piratediffusion) is new to me there are a lot of things I have to learn.
One of the biggest problem for me is fixing face, especially eyes. Let's say I have what I wanted: pose is great, body/outfit, colours and face are ALMOST perfect. I don't want to change to much, since I like the result, but eyes are bad. Character has a little bit squint eyes, or there is some problem with pupils, one is smaller than other. So anyone has some tips or tricks how to fix it?
What I'm trying to do?
I know /facelift command helps a bit, since it's increasing size and resollution and also makes things look better.
But sometimes it's not enough. Usually in these moments I try to reedit both positive and negative prompts byt adding some of this: (((high detailed eyes, beautifull eyes, straight eyes))) and some of those [[[ugly eyes, low quality eyes, bad eyes]]]. Since it's important part of the image I use triple ((())), [[[]]] to increase it's strenght. Sometimes it helps, but sometimes it destroy eyes even more.
I also tried /inpaint, but so far it always destroy whole eyes.
So what else can I do? How can I improve this things?
P.S. What is proper comand to upscale image? I reply image I want to and what command do I try? /upscale:512x512 dosn't work. Can I go with both /facelift and upscale at the same time?
P.S.2 What is command in /render that give more picture results than standard 5 images?

2023.03.24 22:48 ThrowawayPoster12580 8 weeks post vasectomy: my experience and recovery so far
I had a vasectomy 8 weeks ago.I wanted to post my experience so others know what question to ask.
I had a traditional scalpel vasectomy. I am 35 and have 1 daughter with my wife and we knew we were done. I was quite nervous going into the appointment. I took a valium ahead of time but it didn't seem to do much. I basically felt nothing from it.
The doctor administered local anesthetic which hurt but wasn't too bad. He didn't mention anything about telling him if I could feel anything after that. I felt him making the incision on the first side and stayed quiet because the pain was manageable. Then I felt him cut the tube which was even more painful. Then came the cautery which was agony - a searing pain that went up into my stomach paired with the feeling of being kicked in the nuts. My whole body locked out and I started shaking uncontrollably and then he asked if I could feel it. I said yes and he re-administered anesthetic on both sides. I could feel a lot of pressure and tugging on the second side but didn't feel the cutting or cautery. I was on the verge of having a panic attack for the rest of the proceedure because I didn't know if I would feel it again and the first side was so painful. If the first side had been like the second side it wouldn't have been that bad but the proceedure was *way* more painful than I expected it to be.
My recovery was relatively slow. I was in signficant pain for the first 4-5 days and anytime I stood (even while wearing a jock) I would get a sinking feeling that felt like somebody was stabbing me in the balls. It was maybe a 3-4 out of 10. The pain would last maybe a minute whenever I stood and then start to subside. I mostly just lay on the couch and couldn't face anything other than sweatpants. I was having so much pain I eventually got a naproxen prescription which helped a great deal. After day 5 I was able to get up and move around and do basic household tasks. I didn't do any exercise of any kind until maybe day 10 when I started going on short walks. Around day 12 I was able to lightly jog without too much pain. I also started doing some easy yoga at this point. Around day 16 I could run and feel fine. It took me around day 18 to try a strength workout which went ok. I could climb at 21 days without too much pain. After the 3 week mark I started trying to cycle again. Within 1 day of doing that I started having a persistent dull ache in my right testicle that was present 100% of the time. It took about 3-4 days to go away. I took another 10 days off cycling and then tried again on an indoor trainer. That was fine and the pain didn't come back. At about 6 weeks I was able to get back on my road bike. I had some minor discomfort for the first couple rides but otherwise everything was relatively ok.
The recovery wasn't linear. I slowly added back my exercise regimen and some thing irritated it and some didn't. When something hurt I backed off before resuming. Overall I haven't quite worked back up to the amount of saddle time I had prior to the surgery (which was a lot) but I should be there in a week or two. I'd say I am pretty much back to normal although I still have two small pea-sized lumps (one above each testicle) that are locally tender but not too painful.
I'd say the experience was overall more painful and a much longer recovery than I had been led to believe. I have tested as sperm free though so I don't regret the proceedure.
Overall my frustration points are:

I was in signficant pain for the first 4-5 days and anytime I stood (even while wearing a jock) I would get a sinking feeling that felt like somebody was stabbing me in the balls. It was maybe a 3-4 out of 10. The pain would last maybe a minute whenever I stood and then start to subside. I mostly just lay on the couch and couldn't face anything other than sweatpants. I was having so much pain I eventually got a naproxen prescription which helped a great deal. After day 5 I was able to get up and move around and do basic household tasks. I didn't do any exercise of any kind until maybe day 10 when I started going on short walks. Around day 12 I was able to lightly jog without too much pain. I also started doing some easy yoga at this point. Around day 16 I could run and feel fine. It took me around day 18 to try a strength workout which went ok. I could climb at 21 days without too much pain. After the 3 week mark I started trying to cycle again. Within 1 day of doing that I started having a persistent dull ache in my right testicle that was present 100% of the time. It took about 3-4 days to go away. I took another 10 days off cycling and then tried again on an indoor trainer. That was fine and the pain didn't come back. At about 6 weeks I was able to get back on my road bike. I had some minor discomfort for the first couple rides but otherwise everything was relatively ok.
The recovery wasn't linear. I slowly added back my exercise regimen and some thing irritated it and some didn't. When something hurt I backed off before resuming. Overall I haven't quite worked back up to the amount of saddle time I had prior to the surgery (which was a lot) but I should be there in a week or two. I'd say I am pretty much back to normal although I still have two small pea-sized lumps (one above each testicle) that are locally tender but not too painful.
I'd say the experience was overall more painful and a much longer recovery than I had been led to believe. I have tested as sperm free though so I don't regret the proceedure.
Overall my frustration points are:
- I don't think I was given enough valium
- I don't think it was communicated to me how to signal I needed more local anasthetic
- I wish I would have been proactively given naproxen rather than having to ask for it
- I wish the range of outcomes, how painful the recovery could be, and how long my exercise routine would be impacted were communicated.
2023.03.24 22:47 Vohkii Recommendations for 1st 1911
I've been dreaming of owning a 1911 since I was a kid and have decided on a Commander size in 45 ACP for EDC and home defense.
What brands can you recommend for quality pieces in an $800 price range and are acceptable for a left handed shooter?

Beware of spoilers for the story of Ghost recon: breakpoint point. And very mild spoilers if you haven't finished M4's neural upgrade.

"And these wolves want the island, why?" Commander Mia asked.
Nomad shrugged and pointed to the map. "Walker rambled something about making the world better, but it was pretty vague, and he didn't elaborate before shooting at us."
"So we just clear out his goons and take him down, I don't see what's so complicated." Said Ro. "We're faster, stronger, and generally better at our jobs."
Fury raised an eyebrow. "You're all what, 18? What makes you think you can best a grown and trained soldier in any of those fields?"
An ever so slight smile crossed Ro's lips. "Care to find out?"
"You seriously think its time for infighting?" The commander stepped between the two. She looked over at Nomad. "You're the boss here right? Have you got a plan to clean up this island sized mess?"
"I love a good plan, but we're on a tight schedule. Ro wasn't lying, just let us handle your wolf problem." M4 interjected.
"I agree!" A rather bored Soppmod piped up from over at the nearby campfire. "Let's go kick this Walker guy's ass and head home."
A murmur of cheers rose from the watching crowd.
Nomad shook her head. "He's not the kingpin in the operation. Even if he was, the wolves and their sentinel allies have this island on lockdown."
Soppmod rolled her eyes. "So we break whatever security they have, it's not that complicated."
"I'm not sure you understand what security I'm talking about." Nomad sighed. "But I'll let you give it a shot if you really want to."
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Nomad and the AR team trudged down the muddy path towards a nearby Sentinel outpost. they had left commander Mia back at Erewhon to be further briefed on the situation by Fury.
"Are you sure this is- " Soppmod started, but she was immediately shushed into silence by Nomad.
"Are you trying to get us caught?!" Nomad hissed. "Stay quiet or go back!"
As the group finally reached the edge of the trees, they looked out over a small group of soldiers.
"Stay here."
When the AR team looked to where Nomad had spoken from, she was gone. It took the strength of their enchanced T-doll eyes to spot the slight movement in the mud heading towards the soldiers.
"Is she seriously gonna take them on solo?" Soppmod whispered.
"Let's just watch, maybe she's more competent then we- " Ro fell silent as her jaw dropped. Nomad had passed the soldiers, crawling right between their leader's legs and passing them by. "Where's she going?"
After reaching the other side of the road, Nomad rose silently to a crouch and placed a piece of C4 on what they had assumed was an ATV. She then returned to the group.
"Your first lesson about this island," Nomad said. "Is to target drones first."
KABOOM!
The ATV, which they now knew was a ground drone, exploded.
Leaning back against a tree, Nomad lit a cigarette and let out a contented sigh. "The human combatants are all yours."
M4 and Ro stood dumbstruck, while Soppmod ran after the soldiers without a second thought.
Ro was the first to break the silence. "How the hell did they not notice you?!"
"Mud is quite the tool, you should get to know it if you wanna be sneaky around here." Nomad chuckled, still whiping some of the mud off her face.
"Are you trying to get us killed? What if mud hardens in your joints while you're in a fight?" M4 shouted.
"Are you kidding? It's not like we're robots, and those drones don't seem to mind anyways." Nomad extinguished her cigarette. "Come on, we should go find your squad mate and get moving."
"Wait." Ro stopped her. "You said you're not a robot?"
Nomad gave her a confused look. "Of course, did you think we were part of this island's weird robot defense systems?"
Just then Soppmod returned. She was missing an arm, but held the metal mask of one of the soldiers as proof of her victorious hunt.
"Holy shit!" Nomad exclaimed as she rushed over to Soppmod. "Hang in there, we'll get you... to a... why aren't you bleeding? Or screaming in pain?"
"Oh this?" Soppmod looked down at her missing arm. "Eh, I'm used to it by now. I can just make a new one with some scrap when we get back to camp."
"I'm sorry," Slowly turning back to Ro, Nomad jestured wildly at Soppmod's .issing arm. "What the fuck?"
"I'm just as confused as you are." Ro grinned. "It's strange to find humans still playing soldier."
+++++++++++++++++
"So a T-doll is just a better human?" Nomad asked as they once again trudged through the mud back towards the camp. "Why haven't I heard of this before?"
"The tech is mostly used around the black market. Plus, Griffin isn't an official military, so most of the world doesn't know we exist." M4 explained. "And our superiority to humans starts and ends with physical attributes and thinking speed. Other then that we're pretty much direct downgrades. We can get hacked or DDOSed, and we're suuuuuper expensive to keep around."
"I still feel like the ghosts, or at least the top brass, should have heard of you." Nomad chided. "It's creepy to know that there's a military force out there that's even more secretive then us ghosts."
M4 grinned. "Hah, just wait till it's your turn to drop in on one of our operations, you'd be suprised how much there is that your government doesn't tell you."

2023.03.24 22:14 ThatrandomGuyxoxo Files in my vfs directory
I wonder. Can I remove the folders manually or is there a command to remove those files? I always work with the --vfs-cache-mode full command because it seems like it gives better performance. Unfortunately my Rclone vfs local Windows folder grows up in size too much.
I've used rclone sync command to sync my files to my remote / crypt so I wonder if it's okay to manually delete them (maybe, as I asked, there's a command which does that)
