We bought a front loader last year and we can already see the extra wear in clothes. We went back and were told yeah that can happen since the machine runs so much faster then old machines.

Clothes are wearing out faster

Edit even after a few washings a t-shirt is showing wear signs

Six years at best. New washing machines are really hard on clothes and wear them out.

Edit just bought a front loader last year

Stuffing and mashed potatoes.

Most places have their stuffing way to moist. I want stuffing, not bread that looks like it was dropped in water. Boxed stuffing shouldn’t even be sold. It tastes like garbage.

Get some bread. Tear it up. Let it dry. Add some chicken broth. Add some seasoning. That means go to store and buy the different seasonings. Like garlic powder. Sage, thyme, etc.

Then put it on the oven. The moisture comes from gravy.

Mashed potatoes… Yeah most times people add way to much to the mashed potatoes.

Edit and for the gravy that means you make a chicken or a turkey you get the broth and you make the gravy.

If they aren’t concerned about it then they aren’t paying attention.

When he used both arguments in the same conversation. I shrugged and stopped talking. Nothing to gain by continuing the conversation

Toss up : a coworker who I would have counted as quite intelligent said we haven’t been to the moon because “it’s impossible to launch a rocket to the moon and land on it because rockets go in a straight line. Trying to time the shot of the rocket, and get to the moon at the exact moment when the moon gets to the right spot would be astronomically impossible. The odds of pulling that off at the speed you would be traveling and the distance you travel… Well the odds are effectively zero.”

"Also you can’t catch up to the moon because the moon is traveling faster then our rockets can go "

Either that or a prochoice individual who voted for Trump…

Part of the problem is a lot of programs that people who understand tech think is simple or obvious is actually stupidly wrote and confusing and illogically set up.

Older people rely on logic. And most interfaces are the opposite of logical.

Younger people have this idea of "press a bunch of buttons and once you see how it works, then memorize the steps ".

I’m going to guess that she has said something to the effect of “why is this so complicated”?

The only issue I take is that she won’t keep track of the new password that she creates. That to me is laziness.

I get eye strain from led light bulbs so I’m trying to fix that. Sorry should’ve put that in the post

Most of the ones that I see installed in stores have that problem. My workplace put in led and I come home with eye strain. The ones I bought at menards have had the same problem.

My big problem is that I don’t visually see flicker but rather if I move my hand in front of my face I see a shutter effect. Which I’m assuming is because the refresh rate of the bulb is to slow.

Thank you. I do appreciate it

They look good. Do you have a model number or the upc code off the box? If I can buy it locally I’d like to. But it doesn’t show that info on the Amazon site.

Where would I buy an incandescent from for a normal table lamp?

I doubt it, but if you have bank records to prove how it was paid. That might show where the money came from.

But otherwise, ignore his comments. Change the subject and if he stops talking to you all together , then sadly there is nothing you can do.

Not necessarily.

Think of it this way. A graphic designer should get paid each time they create something and each time it is used, or they get paid a LOT for creating it then it is used as much as the new owner wants. We are seeing cases where someone creates something, gets paid a small amount then it’s stolen after that.

Designers can’t stay in business

Think of the person that spends money to create a song, the song has one person who buys it for $1 (normal customer) then everyone else illegally downloads it. Can the artist stay in business? Can the artist afford to continue making music?

It the graphic designer has their stuff stolen, put into ai and people use the work to create other works. The designer is now going to have to charge an insane amount to create other works. Now the cost to hire a designer is so high that many people just settle for ai.

Your statement of old enough to not remember things that well, implies memory issues.

Has he always been this way or just recently? If it’s recently then have him see a specialist about his memory. There could be a bigger problem there. Memory problems can show up earlier then you realize.

Did his memory of events change recently?

If you hire a graphic designer to create something for you, presumably you pay them.

With ai, someone took their creations and trained the ai to create images and didn’t pay them.

So yeah there’s a difference.

You have a good point

What would you say if your work was used in ai and no one would pay you for your work?

If it is for personal usage, I don’t mind and I don’t care. If it is just for putting on like an AI fan site.Where somebody created an image of a dragon sitting on top of a castle with knights running around, I don’t care I have no problem.

But if it’s used in movies and it is taking jobs away from people that I care. If it’s used in music and it is jobs away from people that I care. If it’s used in art or anything else, and it is taking jobs away from people then I care.

I don’t want to see computer created stuff. I wanna see what humans come up with. It’s also why in movies I prefer practical effects over special effects.

Companies will always go for the cheapest way to do something, but at some point, we’re not gonna have enough jobs. The company won’t care they’re still making money off of somebody.

When we went from horse and buggy a car, the people who made the horse and buggy could take their skills to go build a car because some of the ideas transferred over.

If we keep giving the jobs to AI , where people going to go for jobs?

I want to see what people created with their own hands. Not have a person just type some keywords into a computer and have the computer just generate something.

I’m an idiot I had to look up what cult of personality even meant.

Which means I should be a shoe in for the job. I’ll take it. Let’s have some fun.
