The 50 came from a heat wave here in Wuhan. (It routinely goes to 45 here, so 50 is a hot day surrounded by pavement in the sun.)

The -50 came from living in the high arctic. One day only, ever. But -40 was pretty normal.

And in the context of pools, “0.5” is a thing if it really bugs you.

“The Weather” is rarely below -17C and rarely above 37C: 0F to 100F

Tell me you’ve lived in very narrow portions of the world.

While obviously I’ve never hit 100°C in weather, I have hit 50.

In both directions from 0.

Working at a 7-11 while going through college.

And it wasn’t the bosses, bad as they were. It was the customers.

Brush my teeth. Change. Lie down. Say goodnight to SO. Read a book until my eyes start closing (or one hour, whichever comes first). Put book to one side. Put on my eyeshades. Sleep.

In my more cynical moments I’d say “can’t harm what doesn’t exist”.

So it’s masochism. Got it. Hey, I’m not kink-shaming. I don’t get it, but you be you.

I’m strictly an amateur snapshot taker. So I’m lucky if 1 of 100 photos are things I consider “good”.

This is why I respect people who can reach 1 in 10 keepers. They know things I don’t understand.

I get more thinking from not having to look up information.

Research says otherwise, but hey, what do they know? They looked up information instead of asking an AI. Obviously they did less thinking!

🤣

Why do you have to “deal with him forever”?

I’d start by questioning my assumptions were I in your shoes.

Yes. 20-21 is a good temperature range for sleep.

Simple conversion system:

• proper temperatures to American moon units: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=25C+in+F
• American moon units to proper temperatures: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=77F+in+C

Either copy the URL and change the temperature (25C or 77F) to your target, or click on the URL and change the input field.

Whatever temperature the outside air is except in the summer when it gets obnoxiously hot and humid, at which point I put a cap of 25°C on the temperature.

So last night it started around 24° at nightfall and fell to 21° in the wee hours.

Dude. Read the room. You’re literally in a community called “Fuck AI” and arguing for AI. Are you masochistic or just plain dumb?

Blue hair is cool. Especially if you add subtle plum streaks.

Tell me you know nothing about photography without using those words.

The only people I’ve ever heard say AI is good for “references” are people who aren’t artists.

Because AI makes for LOUSY references. (Unless your art style specifically involves clothing pieces melding into each other without rhyme or reasons and cthonic horrors for hands and limbs.)

Tell me you don’t understand how generative AI works.

As long as progress continues and humanity survives, computer generated art will eventually outperform humans. It’s pretty obvious, as far as science knows you could just simulate a full human consciousness and pull images out of that somehow, but able to run that in parallel, never deteriorating, never tiring. It’s not a matter of if “AI” can outperform humans, it’s a matter of if humanity will survive to see that and how long it might take.

That did it!

I went full punkette in the very late '70s and early '80s, so shaved, spiked, and in whatever colours I could find (whether it was meant for hair or not).
