That's not far off of something that happened to me once a few years ago. My computer suddenly started struggling one day, and I quickly figured out that my hard drive suddenly had 500 gigs or so of extra data somewhere. I had to find a tool that would let me see how much space a given folder was taking up, and eventually I found an absolutely HUMONGOUS error log file. After I cleared it out, the file rapidly filled up again when I used a program I'd been using all the time. I think it was Minecraft or something. Anyway, my duck tape solution was to just make that log file read-only, since the error in question didn't actually affect anything else.

He had no rival. No one could be his equal.

We've all been there. Something goes wrong, so you call customer service. What answers is a bizarre, arcane mess of an answering machine where you have to puzzle out exactly how company x categorizes customer issues when all you want is to talk to a human being. Saying "Complaint" cuts through all of that, but you might need to wait on hold for a bit. Just make sure you're nice to the person on the other end.

Bread is a requirement for something to be a sandwich, so you'll have to convince me that a tortilla is bread. You might be able to make a case for the soft flour tortilla, but I just don't see how hard corn tortillas can possibly fit under the umbrella of "bread".

I was always a fan of Mednaffe, a GUI frontend for Mednafen, for all of my NES, SNES, and GBA emulation needs. Of course, that's all a bit moot now that I have a handheld.

That wasn't even the first time Trek did the "catching up to a sleeper ship" plot. TOS did it earlier, and then they made a movie out of that episode.

I live across street from one of these where a restaurant used to be. I don't know enough to love or hate the idea of these buildings, but this one's a damn eyesore. The siding panels are various shades of pale grayish blue, with fucking CAUTION VEST YELLOW panels randomly sprinkled in. It's just this big plain box with tiny-ass windows and the worst color combination I've ever seen.

judged, by a fucking laugh?

Wouldn't be the first time a candidate was judged by a show of emotion. HYAAAAAHHH!!!!

Putting the roll on backwards doesn't stop my cats. I have to have a towel draped in front of the roll.

This is why, if I ever develop a game, I won't use the letters or symbols on the buttons. I'll show a set of four buttons, with the one that needs pressed highlighted.

Yeah, but didn't Kurt Russell and James Spader nuke the ship?

 
 

I've been on a bit of a blue/orange spree recently, and I really like how this one turned out.

Process: On a whim, I downloaded this image from another Artbreeder user:

In GIMP, I duplicated the image into four layers and used Gradient Map to have a version in black/orange, white/orange. black/blue, and white/blue, and selectively erased bits of each layer until I was satisfied, ending up with this:

Finally, I fed that back into Artbreeder, messed with my prompt, added noise after a few rolls didn't go the way I wanted, and ended up with this input:

 

Rendered for AB's Embroidery contest. Screenshot of inputs:

For the Bob Ross, I took a previous render, loaded it into GIMP, slapped a frame over it, and cut out the corners. Then I saved it and uploaded it back into Artbreeder. The wood was a stock image of some cutting boards that I found with Artbreeder's internal search feature. I cut out what I wanted and stretched it to fit the canvas as my background.

 

Rolled this earlier today on Artbreeder when I was trying to make portraits of wholesome fellows in this style. Decided to share it here.

Inputs:

This image:

Prompt: steve irwin, crocodile hunter, watercolor by kentaro miura, norman rockwell, stanley artgerm, vibrant pastels, crocodiles in background.

AI: 71, Steps: 30, Guidance: 12, Seed: 33, Model: SDXL, Mode: img2img

I also rolled some Carl Sagan, Bob Ross, and Fred Rogers images.

 

Generated for Artbreeder's sword contest. I'm pretty happy with it, so I thought I'd share.

 

You're on the naughty list, and Santa craves human flesh. Rendered with SDXL on Artbreeder.

 

Rendered 6 days ago on Artbreeder and upscaled just moments ago.

 

I felt like doing some creepy eyes yesterday. SDXL on Artbreeder.
