Where's the fun in that? 😝🤪 I'm pretty sure I'm the reason for call before you dig. They found it cheaper to waste time and money marking the property for free then paying for my fackup. Quite a few sprinklers, a few cable lines and the nicked a house main line several times. 🤐🫡
If someone snags anything of ours that's aerial or buried, you're charged by the minute. And it ain't cheap. ;)
 
ok, at some point in the last like 4 weeks Amain deleted like 30 things from my wish list. all AE RC10/RC10T parts. like wtf! not the first time this has happened. not even the second time this happened. its kinda starting to piss me off.
Were they parts still available in the actual site/store or did they get removed completely?
Also I thought wishlists were "Private" unless you shared them or set them to public in the wishlists page?
 
Why do Amazon drivers think its ok to turn their truck around in my yard? I'm going to line the edge of my driveway with spike strips. Agghhhh!!!

I think every yard should have bollards. :thumbs-up:

wishlists are private. and its all stuff that's still available on the site. I'm talking suspension arms, arm mounts, hubs, steering blocks, bulkheads, shock towers, gearbox parts, shock rebuild parts, etc. you get the idea.
but my list had over 30 things in it and now it has 1. a pair of 2.0 tires for the RC10. 🤨
 
I’ve noticed that pictures I’ve taken the last few weeks have looked off. I took a picture of my dog that jumped up on my desk like a cat because it was funny and adorable… that’s when I saw what’s been so off about the pictures. Looking back at the other pictures, I notice it now too.

It literally looks like I prompted chat GPT to make the photo. If I didn’t take the picture, I would’ve looked at this and said it looks like AI. I can only assume Apple is using some AI model in the post processing for photos now and this may be the nail in the coffin to go back to android after years of genuinely enjoying my IPhone. Just look at the window and the detail of the dog… it looks awful and this phone used to take really amazing low light photos. I really hope this isn’t the “future” for all phone cameras otherwise I’m gonna go back to Polaroids and DSLR. 😅

Since AI can't actually look entirely right, make real pics look fake. Problem solved! I-phone designers get a bonus and ALL our lives get a bit more washed out! 😐

Polaroid FTW!!! 😍

Doggo looks pretty cute up there! 😁🤣

It’s awful… I feel like a crotchety old man complaining about AI. It’s getting really bad though and truthfully I’ve never hated something more. It feels like technology is regressing backwards instead of forwards. I can see genuine uses for science, research and math purposes… but for it to get shoved into every single consumer item/software is getting old. I truly don’t see the technology playing out well in the long term… the amount of people in my generation who rely on an AI chatbot to think for them is concerning.

Then again… people said this exact same thing about the interwebs when it was new and the sky never fell down. So, maybe theres hope?

100% agree! The whole in your face everywhere is annoying. And it's obvious when it's used for content. I hate that websites like amazon are using it to summarize their reviews and such. :wtf:
