Generative AI has been an absolute game changer in my retouching work. Slightly worrying that it’ll put me out of work sometime in the future, but for now it’s saving me loads of time, handling the boring stuff so I can concentrate on the stuff it can’t do.

Same with David Icke (the UKs version of AJ)

Yeah, what makes it good is the unparalelled feature set, which is also why the pros use it.

I mean that makes absolutely no sense at all. It’s what the professionals use for good reason.

Pro retoucher here. Guess I’m just a silly goose them.

9 failed attempts before the real doctor relocated it on first try. I only found out because I sneaked a look at my notes. WTF indeed…

Dislocated shoulder. It went over the front of the socket which is apparently quite rare, and the most painful. I was blacking out front the pain, a friend fainted, ambulance gave me laughing gas which was great. Hospital visit was not fun, they tried various kinds of morphine which didn’t seem to have much of an effect, then ended up giving me some sort of date rape ‘cooperative sedation’ meds and letting the student doctors take turns to fail at relocating my arm and fuck up the socket even more.

Once had to explain to an old lady (in full-time employment in a job that requires use of a computer) that the mouse moves around on the desk surface. She was trying to move the cursor by putting the mouse on the screen.

I’ve called for an ambulance twice in the UK and both times they told me I should drive instead.

Capture One has a free 30 day trial IIRC. It’s great for doing this kind of thing, if you put caps lock on you can hit keys 1-5 to rate and it will auto advance.

Sucks when you have kids with them and a shared friendship group.

I’ve been in the facilities where they make these. Had to wash my hands like 5 times at separate stations before being allowed on the floor.

Bangkok, went with low expectations as everyone I’ve spoken to who had been said they didn’t enjoy it. We ended up extending our stay be cause there was so much to see, I could’ve happily spent a week wandering around the markets and exploring China town.

Saw a good few of those before I knew what they were and almost convinced myself it was aliens. Very cool to see.

We talking Indian hot lime pickle? I’m intrigued…

Best crepe I ever had. I like to make them with gouda and hot honey. Goats cheese and normal honey also slaps.

This is partially solved by auto limiting them when they enter a pedestrianised area. Seemed to work well in my local trial.

The sky, clouds, atmospheric optics, stars, satellites. People should look up more.

Correct. It’s a deflagrarion reaction. Unless there’s some kind of new extra spicy decoy flare I’m not aware of.
