I have seen "jk" being used without the forward slash quite often, maybe you just added the slash because it felt like a tone indicator to you.
I know there are safety clamps that are supposed to stop an elevator if the ropes break, but I can imagine that if something goes so wrong that all ropes break there's a good chance the clamps won't be enough to stop the elevator either.

I don't think so, but I've been over 30 hours without sleep, so what do I know. It may have been around before I used it, but I hadn't seen it yet. I really think that with something like this, something that's just simple and obvious, that it could have originated with a bunch of different people once they became familiar with indicators. It's not so much that it was invented, It was always an available tool, people just hadn't picked it up yet.

sarcasm is harder to detect in text, as even if there is some way to show it, not everyone is aware of the way... so people may think you being serious when you really being silly. Sarcasm only really works among a small group who know its very rarely serious.
I doubt your line would have been misunderstood as anything other than a joke 🙂
Maybe we need a Zed timer so as to know when you reset your sleep time.

I'm not getting sound on this laptop at the moment, so I can't watch now, but skimming through it looked like the "Kill the wabbit" opera, which is definitely a good one.

Zed: "When I raise my CFG scale over 2 my pictures get blurry."
redditor: CFG? No idea what you are talking about. What are your system specs?
Zed: "How are my system specs going to help if you don't know what CFG scale is?"
redditor: Because we need to know how much VRAM you have. What model are you using?
Zed: I'm using the model that is the name of this subreddit, but never mind
redditor: Don't get angry. Get smarter.
Zed: I was trying to get smarter. Your mama never warned me about your low IQ. Course, she never talked much because her mouth...
Sorry, can't finish this joke here...

this is the result of people forgetting what Google is meant to be for. My 1st thought was, what is CFG... google it.

I've decided to write a family biography about my father's side of the family. We already have one for my mother's side. That one goes back to before the Revolutionary War. This one will be easier because my grandfather was a doorstep orphan, and so all our information stops with him.
Highlights: Grandpa did well for a doorstep orphan. Within 25 years he had immigrated to the US and become a real estate tycoon with properties in both New York and south Florida, including a Hardware store in New York that was so famous that someone heard my daughter's last name a couple of years ago and asked her if she had anything to do with the hardware store in New York (which we closed down after he died in 1972). He also had beach front hotels and restaurants in Hollywood, Florida, which is near Miami. Much to my eternal sadness, we also sold those in 1972. I could have been working in my own beachfront cafe instead of playing games all day.
Meanwhile, Dad was a chemist and was drafted into the army. He invented a number of things while in the army, most of them still classified. One thing he invented that isn't classified was the precursor to Luminol. He has never talked about the other things he invented in the army, but back when everyone had a listed phone number we used to get whackos calling the house. One time, as a child mind you, I answered the phone and this man said, "I know what your father did." My father is the kindest person you will ever meet. He was basically still a kid and he was under orders, but whatever he invented didn't sit well with him, and one day he just announced he was leaving and walked out. Normally this would get you arrested for going AWOL, but his commanding officers quietly gave him an honorable discharge and let him go on his way. That tells me the whackos were probably right. Anyway he was accepted into Harvard and got his PhD in chemistry. He then proceeded to invent many things that found their way into everyday items. He invented, for instance, an additive for plastic that allowed you to store food and drinks in plastic without worrying about the plastic seeping out into your food. They don't use this additive today because cheaper additives were invented. They aren't as protective, but, hey, what's a little plastic in your brain, right? He had many others. One injustice is that if you look up the patents today, they don't have his name on them. They have his boss's name, instead. But whatever else they did, they paid him according to his value, so he got over not getting full credit, and eventually he became an SVP of the company. He ran two divisions of the company and retired when the CEO told him he needed to lay off 500 people. He said he just wasn't cut out for that kind of thing. But his inventing didn't stop when he left the research division, and he created a new 24 hour work schedule that gave all the employees 12 to 14 (just depending on where you were in the schedule) days off each month, which they loved, and which is still in use today.
I've bored anyone who who happened to actually read this enough. But I have enough material to make a quite sizeable book. Then I'll have it printed and pass it to all the surviving members of the family.

Thanks. An update came down that was supposed to make CFG usable (distilled CFG works, but it actually doesn't do the same thing as CFG, so I'm not sure why they ever considered that a good solution), but I guess when they said CFG was usable maybe they just meant you could now take it from one to 2, which does make a big difference.this is the result of people forgetting what Google is meant to be for. My 1st thought was, what is CFG... google it.

CFG determines how much Flux follows your prompt. At CFG 1, where we've all been using it, Flux practically considers your prompt a mild suggestion that it can mostly ignore if it wants to.

It seems we know the family tree of both sides, one grandmother was adopted and it was only after they linked her to real parents, they went way back. I never really took any notice of it as I knew other people were working on it. One side came from Ireland and other from England. Early 1800's
One of my grandads would have been 106 today... he didn't make it.

Get all the information you can while people are still alive is my suggestion. Some day when you are old and bored like I am, you might wish you knew more about your family.
By the way, sadly, greatness skipped a generation in our family, but I'm fully expecting it to pick up where it left off with Guido and Elly May 🙂

Mum decided to go stage diving this morning in the bathroom at 5.30am with the lights off, it ended as well as you would expect. 81 year olds should be more careful. She bruised her knee and hurt her back, spent 6 hours in a bed in hospital to be released as fine.
She woke me up and I been awake ever since. Was meant to do homework this morning but after only 4 hours sleep, really didn't want to know. Its funny though as I finally weakened about 2 hours ago and looked at what I had to read this week and it was nothing... had 7 questions but 4 of them were multiple choice... only have one question left to do now. The last question is always more indepth but it won't take very long. I look at it in a few hours.

I started doing Shiko today. Seems pretty good for the knees and I like how you can do it in slow motion.

Even when I was MUCH younger I'd woken up a few times staring at the bathroom ceiling. I'd passed out while passing a kidney stone. It's often times more about the unexpected than just being careful. That said, it doesn't happen anymore due to the preventative maintenance with my diet. I merely have a big mug of lemon water and a small wedge of grapefruit each morn with breakfast. These diuretics help flush out my kidneys. Being careful can be making a small change you might not think about.

There is this weird and morbid Internet murder fetish where you keep making someone fatter and fatter, but I can't remember the name of it. But I think this is what my wife is trying to do to me. She was supposed to be the one who bought groceries this week, but instead she ordered restaurant delivery every day.
Edit to say that now we have no room for groceries because the fridge is filled with Styrofoam containers with leftovers in them.

How was this not a red flag?
I was hoping I could fall asleep just letting YouTube pick news videos for me while I laid in bed with my laptop. I was wrong. This video came on about a teacher who had an "affair" with one of her elementary students. I was just about to fall asleep when the narrator said that she had previously organized and taught a class for teachers at the school on how to avoid having "relationships" with their students.
WHAT? Who needs this class! If I were part of the school administration, I'd have attended this voluntary class, and after I was sure everyone was there, I would have announced that everyone in the room but me was fired. No normal person needs to take this class. That's one of the craziest things I've ever heard.

I have come down with what I hope will be just a routine cold. I was just sitting here thinking about it when a sense of sheer joy washed over me. Then I remembered I was retired, so this isn't getting me out of anything.

Is the following realistic caricature disturbing? (it's a photorealistic picture of a woman with a big head and a tiny body--like the little cartoon ones you see different places)
I don't think it is, but I've seen too many AI nightmares to know for sure.
I have to make it realistic because it's a lot easier for AI to turn that into a cartoon that it is to get it to go the other way.
Edit: Everyone on the sports forum is pretending it's hot 🤣 Clowns, every one of them.
An adult doesn't need protection from friendly 9-year-olds. If she thinks they are flirting with her that's a problem with her brain. In the US elementary schools are for the youngest children. I probably should have mentioned that.

It looks like a particularly realistic bobble head statue, which isn't disturbing.

I had a friend. Let's say his name was Billy (it was), who was a cube speed-runner. The only time I ever played with one was when I took my brother's cube out of his room and took it apart and put it back together correctly (this was about 2 weeks after it came out, so it wasn't common knowledge that you could do that). Naturally I put it back in his room and convinced him that I'd just stopped by for a minute and worked it for him. I told everyone the truth later the same day.
We still get a tiny bit of spam here and there, but it's taken down fairly quickly. We are all keen to spot spam, so our reporting helps a lot I assume.
I personally like how quiet it is here. We have the same handful of people posting regularly here and I really appreciate that. Part of me does wish to relive the bustling days when forums were a lot more popular, but younger generations don't use forums anymore these days. I'm perhaps the youngest person posting here, apart of the same generation that doesn't use forums anymore, but I grew up using forums and the like my entire life pretty much. I have dropped in and out of them, most recently not posting here for about 3 years before I picked it back up.
Without getting too sentimental, I do believe forums are incredibly important for archiving purposes. The amount of human interaction, the decades and decades of posts, all formatted in an easily digestible fashion, needs to be preserved for future generations to see. Future generations will never use a traditional forum site, so in a way it will be like how we study the first written works, first recorded historical moments, all of that. Forums are historical artifacts that deserve to be archived and preserved.
