Some of them aren't too bad. I just made this with MS Copilot:

https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...72a118d838.png

You have to be very descriptive in your prompts. I asked for "a realistic painting of a 1994 Mazda Miata, being driven by a cat" in this case, along with some details about the scene in general. I left the details about the cat up to the software. I also did not specify that the headlights should be up, but I've found that MS Copilot has a very large bias towards depicting all NAs in this way.

The one problem I keep having over and over is that it doesn't seem to understand the concept of glass, and thus keeps projecting portions of the cat's anatomy through the windscreen.

Silly human. You should know that cats are not bound by mere physical barrriers.

Perhaps you should have specified that it wasn't Pixel driving the car?

Also, I'm so disgusted with this site's pic upload shit. More than half the time I try to link a pic, it throws an error. Guess I'll just post YT content from here out.

Lifted leaf spring/recirculating ball steering vehicles are interesting to drive at current highway speeds. Just as interesting as lowered japanese roadsters and self driving allthetorque tanks, but in a somewhat different way.

I am fairly certain it is real. The fellow who posted it (I'll never find that again...) had several shots of it from different angles, including a couple in which his small children was climbing on it, seated inside it, etc.


Also, today I learned that recirculating-ball steering is an actual thing which exists. How on earth someone first came up with that idea puzzles me.

So does that mean you also don't know about death wobble on vehicles with that type of steering?

I have led a sheltered life, full of racks and pinions, but lacking in recirculating balls.

I was today years old when I learned that the theme song for the 1978 BBC Radio series The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and also the 1981 BBC TV series of the same name, was actually Journey of the Sorcerer, released in 1975 by prog-folk legends The Eagles.

I wasn't sure what it was but I figured it was slow. A search revelaed it is a Mitsubishi i-MiEV electric car, 0-60 in 13.4 seconds.

This linked review provided a few more chuckles, it was interesting but barely adequate as a city commuter car.

Joe Perez 05-29-2024 10:51 PM

It's finally happened.


https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...47684e3050.png


This sign showed up at my workplace some time within the past few days.

Specifically, it's outside of Room 106, which is the big executive conference room on the first floor, with floor-to-ceiling windows, right behind the GM's office.

Because it's the big executive conference room, it has a little kitchenette area in the back, as well as a tiny, private one-holer with a locking door. It's a bizarre restroom to see in an otherwise very ordinary 1960s era commercial building, as it's very... "residential" in nature. The toilet has a tank and operates on gravity, rather than the power-flush units in all the other restrooms. And it's got a residential-style sink upon a wooden cabinet, and a little closet for toilet paper and whatnot to go in, and a newspaper rack. All in all, it looks like the half-bath you'd find on the ground level of a 1950s/60s new-England two story home.

And it's never needed a sign. It's never been a gender-segregated restroom. It's the only single-hole restroom with a locking door in the whole building.

But now they've put that little sign up. And it just makes the place feel... trashy, somehow.

sixshooter 05-30-2024 06:57 AM

So much virtue signaling. Sign should just say restroom.
