The only con I have is customer service can be a little bit slow and matter of fact. But I haven’t had to contact support in over 3 years.

Heck, one guy met the owner at the park and asked for a job after a short conversation. He worked here for a few years.
Networking is more important than anything. My spouse got their job because their mom cleaned the hiring manager’s teeth.

I just got way less tolerant of his screaming and he would wake me up.
That being said, there was a part of my life that was very dark and I lived on Markiplier and Anthony Bourdain. So he’s very close to my heart.
Lots of nostalgia for the five nights at freddys series.

Looking for chill horror lets players
I like to listen to mostly horror let’s plays throughout the day and at bedtime because they are good background noise for me. I just want to find more chill options that don’t do any over the top...

I just want to find more chill options that don’t do any over the top screaming. Preferably some that need a boost and are lesser known.
I’ll contribute my own to get started. Her name is Hula Noob and she’s very chill, lots of dialogue and commentary which I like.
I do know about Gab too. Though she’s a little more diversified. Which is fine.

I don’t know about your partner but it’s always been a texture thing to me. I hated the “mushy” crunch that vegetables always seemed to have. That’s probably the best way I can explain it.
My wife’s strategy was to sneak things into recipes where I wouldn’t suspect there were vegetables. Even made a hot sauce with squash one time and I had no idea. Probably still the best hot sauce I’ve ever had.
I guess I’m saying all of this to try and give you hope that anyone can enjoy vegetables if you ease them in and get rid of as many pain points around them as possible.

Why not just go with a CSS framework? I use Fomantic CSS which is a fork of Semantic CSS. Kind of takes the hard work out of laying out UI with consistent styling.

geniusraunchyassman Link ParentYes. Even with jailbreaks I’m not exactly a fan of sharing such intimate material with tech giants. I use Tailscale as a VPN to my workstation and run the models on that. Then I use Sillytavern...Yes.

I use Tailscale as a VPN to my workstation and run the models on that. Then I use Sillytavern locally on my laptop and just connect it to my workstation endpoint.
I also use TogetherAI and Mancer from time to time.

Secondary to that, I use chatGPT to get myself out of a rut in programming situations as I am in charge of developing a pretty hefty ERP(the business term) essentially by myself. It usually does pretty well after some guidance and correction.

You can usually get it prepared with some kind of additive if you request it. Like I’ve gotten it with some lime and it was pretty solid.
But I’m fortunate enough to like plainish carbonated water on occasion so it’s easier for me. Particularly mineral waters like Topo Chico.

Not gonna go into detail there, but I found that I naturally suppressed the Southern accent.
It would only come out when I was excited or angry.
I never put effort into changing my accent. I would just sort of “adopt” the accent of the people around me. On the rare occasion I bumped into another southerner, I’d lean back into my natural accent again.
Now when I moved back, people would tell me I had a “neutral” accent and I didn’t sound like I was from somewhere in particular.
Just my experience and I hope it can be helpful to you.
Got a 620 and 720. Still working their asses off. Love that series. Uncomplicated and cheap storage.
