Rage bait, maybe. But I chuckled, and that is good enough for me.

What printer did you use, what paper, print type, etc? Nice work!

Edit: any deets on the camera used as well?

Rewatching DS9 and then listening to The Delta Flyers commentary. I don't always A/B the episodes, I usually just watch a few to refresh my memory then listen to a few of the podcasts as time allows.

“Displaying the probability of a specific home flooding this year or within the next five years can have a significant impact on the perceived desirability of that property,” Art Carter, chief executive officer of the California Regional Multiple Listing Service, a private database for real estate brokers and agents, told the Times.

Yea, no shit. That's the point of including climate risk when it comes to choosing a property.

Flood prone areas don't pop up overnight. The people in Swannanoa NC were living in a known floodplain that had a massive flood about 100 years ago. Same with the Guadalupe River that averages a major flood every decade. Climate change is making these events larger and more frequent, but excluding data from a real estate listing to supposedly increase home value is nonsense at best and fraud at worst.

You don't need AI to create soulless depictions of humanity, James Cameron already does that. I think he is just protecting his bread and butter from automation.

Snark aside, I grew up loving his movies. As a film student, I loved taking them apart in critique for his mastery of technical filmmaking. As a professor, I used the DVD extras from his films to show just how forward-thinking his knowledge was of VFX. But this Avatar garbage is just the result of a kid who finally leveled up enough to produce the comic book he wrote when he was 8. It's awful.
