My partner and I love Halloween but our community has few activities besides a couple of haunted houses. We're considering spending Halloween week somewhere more festive and are looking for some recommendations. We both grew up in the Midwest with corn mazes and night markets, but we are open to spending time in Mexico for Day of the Dead. What are your suggestions?

    I agree, but I wasn't sure if this comment was generally anti-AI or understanding of the nuance. For the record, AI scares me.

    You can make art using AI. I've seen artists use it to clean up line art, color, shade, fill in backgrounds, and more. AI is just a tool. Lots of people only use text prompts, which I agree is hardly controlling, but that is only a single way to interact with AI. You can do a lot with these models.

    Good faith mods? AI trained on detecting bias terms and concepts? Community notes? No idea, maybe we should try all the above. The internet frequently rewards bad actors, so targeting those rewards should help.

    USB C is harder to plug in than A when I can't see the port. If A was reversable I would prefer it on desktop computers.

    I read this on reddit so might not be true, but some cats don't like it when their wiskers touch the rim of the bowl. Try feeding them with a flatter bowl or plate for a few days and see if they stop licking their paw.

  • Any good Telegram alternative?

    If I want to share something with a friend, I can invite them to note chats or bulk forward files. Messages are separate, I can forward individual message rather than all messages. It's more continent than notes apps I've tried.

    Friends used telegram so I had the app installed. It was easier to store documents in telegram than in one drive or proton drive, so telegram became my go too. Obviously not the best setup, but it worked and was easy. I'll try out Signal and Matrix, but continence is a big factor in my choice.

  • I tried SimpleX but the VPN kill switch on my phone prevents syncing with my computer. I use telegram primarily as a note taking app with sync features. Occasionally I send files to friends, so having easy set up for tech illiterate would be great.

    I was considering getting a LG G5. Some models support an older version of LineageOS and I love the replaceable battery. What do you recommend?

    Handyman suggested cutting hole in 1330 sq. ft. attic for second attic ventilator. Does this make sense?

    General info: Looking to get current attic ventilator fan replaced. The attic is about 1400 sq. ft. Current attic ventilation fan is a foot from the ridge of the roof. Live in USA. Handyman wants: To install two 1500 CFM fans. Two 120 volt 20amp dedicated circuits, one for each fan. He wants to install the second fan 4 feet away from the current fan. He stated that the attic ventilator fan would need to be replaced within 6 years. My questions: Would two fans be better than one fan? Would I need two 120 volt circuits to run two fans? Is there an attic ventilator that has a user replaceable fan? Thank you in advance for any help.
