        I went to Love Lombard in Preston today for Christmas crackers in the colour that I require. They have an absolute fuckload of Halloween stuff if you’re interested. Floating heads in crystal balls, all manner of skulls, vampire rats like WTF, living dead girls and so on.

        Kind of AI. I think it’s Adobe generative fill. There was probably something in the way, and someone has used the generative fill tool to make the cow have legs, but didn’t check or edit it after too make sure it looked correct haha

        Could be AI, but I think all their legs are a bit off, but the tops of the cows seem okay, so I reckon something was blocking the cows legs in the photo, and and editor has used that tool to ‘fix’ it

    One 10% assignment done. Now to do a 20% one today, then the 40% ones due this week and the week after. Not even worrying about the ones after that yet. I feel like I’m making a tiny bit of progress.

      One step at a time.

      I’ve found that there are few tasks or things in life that can’t be broken down into small easier steps. Just get good at each step.

      You have so got this. 👍

        If you cut your steps in half, then halve them again, then it doesn’t matter what size feet you have - because you’re still steppin’.

    So how long is a warranty on something like headphones? I need to go to jb hifi to return some but it’s been almost a year or a bit longer.

    Can’t seem to find the info anywhere. I’m probably googling the wrong thing.

      You’re probably good within a year as long as they didn’t cost like 10 bucks or something.

      Warranty length is usually on a slip of paper with the headphones.

      Also you have the Australian consumer law to rely on as a backup that can not be overruled.

    I’m feeling depressed as hell. Internet Archive lost a copyright lawsuit and rare books or resources that could be unavailable in any other way might be lost.

    I have to go to eBay or Amazon for even a hope of finding some classic art books secondhand and even then a used copy could be $50, $70, $100 plus. If I can even find it.

    Huh. Old school friend (who I lost touch with and have tried to find in and off) friended me on FB and asked me to a mumble year school reunion.
    Would love to catch up with her, but as for the other? I’d rather remove my own epidermis with a potato peeler.
