it’s not illegal tho

all creative outputs are iterations and there is law about how much a work needs to change in order to be “different enough”

AI Art is a horrible invention, regardless of how cool people find their prompt results.

They literally steal art from the internet. It's not okay :/

Lmao so many joyless misery guts in this thread. It’s satisfying pizza for cheap just don’t except top shelf

If a human being makes art, and then posts it on the internet, with their brand or signature attached, and then a human-made AI STEALS THAT ART, so YOU can make art WITH THE AI, then that should be illegal

I don't know why you're saying what you're saying. AI is BAD.

Pro-Tip: They open most days @ 10AM for the general public, and @ 9AM for corporate card holders, if you are a non-corporate card person, they won't turn you out if you show up at 9:30-9:45. It's always busy, it's the only Costco in the state. Plan your trips wisely.

Switched to xfinity mobile. Cut my bill by more than half. Me and the wife $62/month after taxes unlimited everything. We were up to $135/month with Verizon. I think they throttle after 20 gb mobile use but I haven’t hit that yet.

I perhaps should have added the /s to my comment but I thought it was obvious enough it was a lame attempt at a joke.

The work from home concept is not fully operational in a mountainous state. Check for coverage before selecting a location….

Visible is Verizon

What kind of volunteering are you looking to do. Meaning what populations are you looking to engage when your volunteer?

I do about 3 or 4 hours of volunteer work a week and depending on what you are looking for there are tons of places always looking for help.

Well, living in a rural squat (5+ac) might be a great fit for you!

Southern VT (below rte#4) is getting tamed by relocates, less salty, more manicured. Northern VT (above rte#2, say #15 north) still maintains its 'quaintness' with more resolve. Anywhere above/between Jeff and Jay is nice, as are communities on the NH border by the reservoir (the SilvioConte region is also fun to explore).

I suggested doing what the locals do as a way to meet-n-greet with interests in common. Maybe join the GMClub, NOFA, ... Are you into bees? get a hive. Into raising summer pigs? Find a breeder nearby.... e.g. get some roots in the ground.

I did not mean off-roading when i said cruise dirt roads, just good AWD/FWD+tires. VT roads are 90% dirt - get a Gazetteer /Atlas and try to get lost :) That said, having a snow machine is balls-o-fun (when it snows). You might prefer a fat-tire E-bike over an ATV unless going for long rides (rail trail...)

Burn wood for heat! Get a good chain saw, buy 6-cord grapple loads@time, buck/split/stack 1yr in advance. Stacked/seasoned firewood is money in the bank.

Last point: if you're pooch is off leash (which i find desirable) the proper definition of 'trained' is 100% under command. I've raised and trained 4 ridgebacks and current blackMouth cur; take it from someone who's walking in said woods daily: your voice control will neither mitigate your liability nor will it re-assure anyone you may encounter w/a pet (specially if theirs is leashed).

Also, you have to use/raise your voice in the quiet of the woods, which is making noise; IMO bad form. Training to a remote device/hand signals/ dog whistle is more effective; I never raise my voice above a whisper w/my dogs. We have understanding and I can correct them immediately for not respecting it.

I keep a flexi/longlead as backup. But the e-collar is the only way to A) be in control (and nip any signs of agression in the bud), and B) have the controler be a visible sign to other dog owners that my pet is not 'at large'. There's a protocol I utilize encountering strangers to assuage apprehension of my pooch(s).

VT is dog friendly, but not particularly for unleashed pets. It raises hackles of their past bad experiences, and though the owners may be just as much at fault... it will always be your fault .

My dog(s) were trained to run along side my ride for 3-4 miles/day as their exercise program. Ending at a stream where they can dip and chill. They learned to run along side at 10-12mph, past houses and farms. That's how I met my neighbors :) Very well trained pooches make good impressions. I suggest you take the effort to do the same, the payoff is worth it.

Dying trade? The place probably pays an unlivable wage

We use Credo. Prices are good, good coverage, good company.

All Vermont law about posting and land access is hunting law, the right to general pedestrian access is a recognized implicit extension of hunting access. The right to restrict general pedestrian access is a recognized extension of the right to restrict hunting, so all the same burdens apply.

The only signs that don't need to be dated are safety zone signs. Also no trespassing signs on buildings, but I don't think that's what you meant.

But if you've got a source that supports your understanding I'd be interested to read it.

These are my sources:

That whole thing went way over your head didn’t it. Nevermind.

You’ve never had their Italian cheese bread have you

Sadly, I think the Man of Kent, aka the guy who opened it, is no longer there serving pints, he's gotta be pushing late 80's at this point. He was a hoot to talk to, truly a good publican. Regardless, it is a fine spot for a beer, some cheer, a bit of grub, and a lot of pub.

AT&T prepaid. Game changer. $35/month unlimited text & call + 5gb data per month. Sign up for autopay and save $5 each month.

I completely agree. It might be that the Dodge Rams tailgating you through NH turn into Subarus minding the right lane, but I’m pretty sure it’s just that everyone is friendlier and time slows way down.

>Wow, way to come off as a self righteous douche.

And you now see how your original comment was.

>*I also read your link, and the word is offensive to call a Native American it is not offensive as a word.

Read the last sentence again in the link. Is this one better?

>Now to see if you will pull a Reddit “as a strong black woman”.

As a normal white guy, that sounds kinda racist.

AT&T has generally surpassed Verizon for network quality.

PSD has info.

You should cross post this over in r\NewHampshire sub. Judging by the comments, they get a lot of hikers including the White Mountain volunteer rescuers .

That's literally the point, to get people to return the empties to get their money back.

That could be interesting, I'll check it out.
