What's the plagiarism machine, AI/LLM chatbots?

Yeah, they're not going to suddenly gain $50k+ cash for a down-payment to replace their home. Yes, a mortgage should be cheaper than rent but a renter probably can't save an extra 3 year's worth of rent to put it down.

I'm curious how this is playing out. A fair number of details are present on the game's item already. The barrel stripe, the upside-down spade with a circular element, and the barrel spade.

That's not to deny the direct copy of this specific design, but rather ask how much can an independent artist claim on what appears to already largely part of what already exists within the game's IP.

That being said, the reddit thread where the artist posted this originally has an edit stating Bungie reached out, handled it well, and will be sharing details later.

The link below this parent with the pics shows tweets from Musk saying the point of naming it STINKY is to encourage customizing the name. I guess not everyone knew their LinkSys ID # in the dorms and/or doesn't immediately turn their wifi into a pun. Just in case anyone else found that default name to be suspicious. They're supposedly now back to just starlink

Modifying the dam isn't the issue, you need to make sure the upstream area can be flooded. Not all rivers are in a canyon. You need a sizeable lake and consider how catastrophic an overflow would be. Then you also have to consider the effect downstream because you will likely cause a minor drought persistently since not all dams will dump into the ocean. So yes, I understand that "hydro" is both a source and a battery, but they are really 2 entirely different systems based on your other categorizations.

Same thing with the biomass. One system makes trees, one system burns wood.

The graphic isn't particularly wrong, it's just splitting some items and combining others inconsistently.

I think you're reading into it correctly. It's an inaccurate depiction. The hydro line is what makes it fuzzy. A dam is a source but has no storage. A reservoir is not a source but has storage. They are separate devices meaning this needs two separate lines for hydro.

I imagine biomass is exactly the same situation, but I have no idea what OP is trying to use. Maybe I'm just uneducated, but it doesn't sound like common knowledge. Still my assumption would be that there's a source system to grow/maintain biomass and a separate system to extract that energy.

If those two items stayed as-is, then I can strap a battery directly to wind or solar and give them green check marks in both categories.

Given the country in question, the actress' nationality, and the writers name, this may be a simple translation misalignment. Molest doesn't have the same weight in every language/region. Molest is more akin to "bother" in Spanish, for example.

High interaction is all that matters.

sees broken glass window with armed agents the other side protecting officials saying don't come through, starts to climb through, gets shot, dies

"how could Biden do this"

That day was one of the few times a revisited 4chan since being an edgy teen. I knew they'd have a downloadable clip posted. Saved, just in case

I swear, auto-correct intentionally picks the wrong one every time. I know because my error is not using enough apostrophes

I did read it, but I realize I was stuck with a more radio-like definition of "transmit". Thanks

Transmits, as in let's it pass through, right? Like window tint being rated as xx% visible light transmission (VLT)?
