Nathan's armor gets complaints sometimes because of the bare arms and bracers. My headcanon is that as combat is not his primary job, the HELTAN he wears uses bracers and shin guards instead of full sleeves for portability and endurance.

38 double red blood donations, and 24 whole blood donations...that's 100 units. My second checkpoint goal.
Here's to another 100!

Since Skype died, I've been using Google Voice as a phone on my computer. It works but it grabs media keys input and calls randomly. I've tried running it as a PWA but I'd really just prefer to block it from intercepting media keys, but apparently media keys in Waterfox are all-or-nothing...

Anyone used this? Looks almost like a modern incarnation of Trillian.
I am tempted because running Discord, Telegram, Signal, Google Messages, and Slack is honestly kinda a pain. Huge resource inefficiency.

A mod had replied too - with a link to a post about Smitework's stance on AI.
The TLDR is, "GenAI has potential! We love it for reducing work flow! But we're gonna be ethical about it."
And further down...
"... And that's why we've partnered with OpenAI!"

![A screenshot of the statement from the Smiteworks Forum. The post is called "SmiteWorks statement on the Use of Generative-AI within Fantasy Grounds".
The full post doesn't fit in alt text, but key paragraphs read:
[Full quote]
"The use of Generative AI for artwork and text in marketing info, NPC images & tokens, or in website work is something that SmiteWorks believes can be a valuable addition to our team and it can be done in an ethical manner. If we find additional uses of generative AI that will help improve the experience of the user, we will continue to explore those with an eye towards ethical applications. We understand that some generative AI is exploitive. We want to avoid using any of those as we pursue advancement of our technology and offerings. Our commitment to ethical practices, especially in the use of advanced technologies like AI, is paramount. In our efforts to integrate AI-generated art, we've chosen to partner with ChatGPT and DALL-E, which are developed by OpenAI, a leader in ethical AI research and development. We also utilize generative AI within Adobe Photoshop. Adobe only trains on its own stock art library.
As this discussion is centered around the use of generative AI, it seems appropriate to utilize chatGPT itself to describe the approach it takes and why we believe this is a good choice for SmiteWorks."
[Summary:]
"OpenAI is committed to developing AI in a way that is safe, transparent, and respects copyright and creative rights.
1. Responsible Data Use
2. Transparency and Engagement
3. Continuous Improvement "
There are three links at the end of the post, labeled
"Open AI's Charter" , "OpenAI's Ethics and Society", "DALL-E and Creative Rights".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2slqalxju7xhb4xiksy2c3bm/bafkreicgg6qpymtmzklnubsrkkafn72jdbebrafrewdmvn2xw7zhvwp4dq@jpeg)

My garage at my apartment has only one door (the motorized garage door). There is a key-release on the door, however, I do not have the key, and despite repeatedly asking for it, the landlord claims to not have one. If the power's out, I can't open the garage door.
Wisconsin, any advice?

Unless that trouble involves turning me into my fursona, in which case, what are you waiting for?

My ISP is offering me a 5-year price guarantee at 300Mbps for $5 more per month than my current plan of 500Mbps.
While the current plan is only good for one year, I have no guarantee of being here in 5 years.
And I'm not paying more per month for lower speeds.
