inSpent 4 hours wrestling with an AI image generator because of one dumb setting
Basically what cole_murphy said about "weird setting on" is true, but nobody's talking about how these updates don't tell you what they changed. I had the same thing happen with a different generator where the sampler got switched from DPM++ to Euler without any warning, and my images came out all grainy and soft for days. You'd think they'd pop up a note saying "your settings got reset" instead of just silently flipping stuff. At least you figured it out in 4 hours instead of going through a whole project like that.

inThree years of digital nomading and I still can't find a reliable coworking spot in Bali
Hard disagree with both of those takes. WiFi reliability is the whole point of paying for a coworking space instead of just working from a cafe or your villa. If the connection drops during a client call, that's on the space not delivering what they promised, doesn't matter if you have a backup SIM or not. Backup connections are fine for checking email but not for video calls where you need stable upload speeds. Most people don't have time to switch SIM cards mid-conversation either, that's just awkward and unprofessional. A coworking space advertising itself as "remote work friendly" should have their network sorted before taking anyone's money, period.

Keep a backup chest freezer and bagged ice stash for exactly this reason.

inUnpopular opinion: That friend who always picks cooperative games was right about my group
Wait, is Betrayal at House on the Hill really cooperative though? I mean, you're kind of working together at the start, but the whole point is someone turns on you halfway through. That's not really cooperative, that's just competitive with a slow burn intro. If your group can't handle losing gracefully in a normal game, they're definitely going to hate getting betrayed by a "friend" who suddenly has to hunt them down. I've seen that game end friendships too, just in a different way. It's more like a trust fall that turns into a shoving match.

inThat electric smoker I bought failed mid-brisket at 3AM
Doubt it's a lemon sounds like a known issue with those Masterbuilt controllers. Check the fuses inside the unit first before you toss it, had a buddy's fail the same way and a blown fuse was all it was.
