AI (Stable Diffusion) doesn't copy art in any meaningful sense. It doesn't store enough data. 160 million images can't be compressed into 2 GB of data. Imagine you'd never seen an actual car. You'd seen pictures of cars, and generally know what they look like. If someone asked you to draw a picture of a car, it would be based on every image of a car you had seen, but it wouldn't be a copy of any of them. AI is the same way.

It has to be absolutely pouring before an F1 or endurance race gets red-flagged. The tires are designed to move a phenomenal amount of water off the track (something like 10s of liters per second per tire). Sunday's rain in Monaco barely counted.

I almost had a dough explosion yesterday. It started when I added too much water. But, I knew how much water I'd added, and what the hydration percentage of the dough should be. So, I added more flour (and salt, and olive oil) to the mix, and let it ferment in the dough bucket (6 qt Cambro) for a while and then stuck it in the fridge (like I normally do). I checked on it a couple of hours later, and it was literally bulging from CO2 buildup. There was a loud pop when I released the pressure. I'm glad I'd thought to check up on it, or there would have been a loud bang at 3 AM and I would have had to clean dough out of the refrigerator.

I wonder what would happen if you wished that the box vanishes forever immediately after it leaves your posession?

I've been noodling around with a revised firearm list for Hero for some time. I'd broken it down to the following eras: Archaic (pre-1820) Percussion caps (1820-1857) Metallic cartridges (1857-1884) Smokeless powder and WW1 (1884-1918) WW2 (1918-1945) Early Cold War (1945-1973) Late Cold War (1973-1990) Modern (1990-present)

Happy 90th birthday, Willie!

Heinlein's, "Magic, Inc" might be another source of ideas.

Was it you that came up with the idea of 2d6+2d6*3? Flat distribution in the middle, but tapered on the ends.

It has a lot of Hero Games B&W stock art from previous products. I didn't see anything new. ETA: I have the draft version from the Hero Games Patreon. The finished product might have different (better) art.

No, they're organized by power or character concept.

Public Domain Superheroes is a good place to start. If you feel ambitious, there are superhero models and poses available for Stable Diffusion that you can create your own heroes with.

Fernando Alonso was third, dropping to fourth after a 10-second penalty, back up to third after the penalty was overturned.

I prefer Change Environment because it's a straightforward mechanical build. You want to be harder to track, and penalties to a Tracking roll will accomplish that. Change Environment is the Power that lets you apply penalties to a skill roll.

My wife is ordering some tea online. Her: Apparently there's no tax on tea. Me: Thanks, Sam Adams!

Yes. I'm friends with her and Barry on FB (they have a shared account).

My first thought was, "No, that's not how point expenditures are balanced." Character points are fungible, so any points the character can't spend on one thing can be spent on something else of roughly equal utility. If we're talking about a VPP (under 6e), the character buys the Control Cost up to their limit and receives no compensation for not being able to buy it higher. My second thought was, "Well, what about Adjustment Powers?" In theory, a character could be operating with a reduced EGO and not have access to their full powers. How often is this going to happen? If that character frequently has their EGO Drained or Suppressed, "Limited to EGOx3 Active Points" might be worth -1/4. Otherwise, it's -0 (but an opportunity for great role-playing when it happens).

A, "weapon of war" is any firearm originally produced for the military, but adapted for civilian use (usually by removing the capability for automatic fire). I agree that it's not a very useful term. An, "assault weapon" is a rifle with all of these characteristics: Fires a centerfire cartridge greater than 34mm in length Has a detachable magazine Is less than 41" long in fireable configuration Capable of semi-automatic fire There's probably room for some tweaking there, but that should cover most cases. I welcome debate on the issue.

In your example, not much, because 3 and 4 are both common Phases. OTOH, you can't hold until a less common segment (1, 7, etc) when you'd be less likely to be interrupted.

Using a Held Action for a Recovery is explicitly banned from 4e onward.
