What is your goal? To save money? How much more does a heat pump cost? How quickly will the energy savings add up to the difference? How much more expensive and frequent will maintenance be?

How is an elf like a scorpion?

Model trains are a hobby that I love for other people to get into. I want to see your trains and tracks and little villages you’re proud of. I just need my basement for all my other activities!

Yeah, I feel for the hobby shops because there’s only so much inventory a shop can hold onto and display and sell. How long do you think they gotta display servos before somebody comes looking for them? Compare that to the big Internet stores and I don’t know how they can compete.

Wargaming or anything that brings people to a hobby shop. Trains, RC vehicles, and kites are most acceptable and understandable to people on the outside but still looked down on.

Absolutely. Eggs are the perfect food. As Beyonce said “If you liked it you should have put an egg on it.”

Actually that’s a duck 🦆

Lemmy largely is very anti AI art. You’re basically going to a vegan convention and asking “Is it ok if I have a little meat? As a treat?”

Is there a well defined “then”? Shortcuts are hard to stop arbitrarily using. If your goal is to become a better artist I would focus more on practicing your art instead of fitting AI into your art.

What about self hosted AI image generators or companies who pay royalties to artists for units sold?

I think you have created complicated rules for “piracy I enjoy/condone is good. Copying that I don’t like is bad.”

I don’t see there being a lot of room for to ever defend piracy and also hate AI influenced art

Ha. I was looking at the wrong picture in the linked thingiverse file. It does fill them in. That does look better.

It means it has measured your bed and the left side of your bed is higher than the right. Don’t get twisted about the graphic as it can exaggerate the shape. Look at the numbers. I don’t know off the top of my head if those are excessive

It looks like you’re either way too close to the bed or your nozzle needs to be replaced. Looks like massive over extrusion. Fat fat print lines. Your model has no printing in the diagonal yet your print has it in almost every square. Maybe you’re failing to retraction.

It’s almost as if Putin just called him and said “Ok, this is what you say to get American support for invading your neighbor.”

I think this is pretty right in spirit. I think he did have love for the institutions of his time but did disagree with them and with the religious leaders of the time. If they could have comes to their senses he would welcome them too.

I’m very sorry about what happened to your parents and in turn the effects these schools had on you and your family. From everything I’ve heard the Canadian government has treated the indigenous people terribly.

Nothing in Jesus’s teachings or the New Testament says “Running torture centers is what you should do”.

There are a lot of bad people who want to claim what they’re doing is what God told them to do because it makes it easier to get away with or easier for them to stomach themselves.

Yeah, I suppose I should have clarified the Christian collection plate, but I didn’t think that was necessary because OP asked what we think Jesus would think about tithing.

Yeah, there are definitely bad people out there trying to take advantage of Christians and make money off them. I think that’s exactly what Jesus was mad about. If Jesus was born today he would probably be chasing televangelist’s phone operators away from their desks with a whip and flipping computer desks of the people trying to scam Christian grandmas.

Like any other organization if you look hard enough and if it’s what you’re looking for then you can see people doing bad things but I do not think organized Christian religion is bad as a whole.

No he did not invent tithing. Sorry if it seems that’s what I suggested. There are a few things the church does in the Old Testament that Christians specifically do NOT do so imo it’s important to point out where in Jesus’s teachings these practices are reaffirmed.
