![]() ![]() It took one term to make me forget everything I thought I knew about myself and sex: Erotic Blueprint. Just recently, though, I learned that I’ve only begun to scratch the surface. (I do write about sex for a living, after all). If you haven’t already, I recommend giving Stable Doodle a whirl and letting your creative juices flow.By now, most of us probably have a basic understanding of what turns us on, myself included. If you’re an illustrator working on some concept art examples for a client, you can sketch your outline and free up some of your precious time by allowing the AI to finish the piece. Nonetheless, allowing me to add a little sketch made the AI-generated images feel a bit more personal, particularly in the first test which maintained the concept of the shapes I drew.įor the artistically gifted, Stable Doodle is ready and willing to add the finishing touches to your work or else add that spark to a quick sketch. Once I’m able to upload images created externally and alter them, I think I’ll be able to utilize Stable Doodle to its full extent. As someone with poor drawing skills, the results were heavily dependent on my text prompts. ![]() While there was a slight improvement in terms of styling, the wonky instruments persevered. Was it a da Vinci-specific issue? I tried again asking for the same thing but in the style of Johannes Vermeer, the creator of Girl with a Pearl Earring. I was also denied my request for the drawings to resemble Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, save for some similarity with Swift’s pose in the bottom left image. Swift looked like herself but adding the instrument how and where I wanted was something Stable Doodle couldn’t quite yet do. Stable Doodle’s creation from the prompt for Taylor Swift holding an instrument in the style of the Mona Lisa (Image credit: Future) My prompt read, “Taylor Swift holding an instrument with her right hand. Therefore I drew a weird-looking string instrument but left it up to the AI to try to figure out what it was meant to be. Without adding an extra bit of drawing there would be no use for Stable Doodle’s sketch pad. If I simply wanted a portrait of Taylor Swift I’d just use a text prompt. Could Stable Doodle creatively portray someone while ensuring that they’re still recognizable by the end of the process? A familiar face would facilitate the judging process, so I thought of American pop superstar Taylor Swift who, as of this month, has more No. I think we can call this one a win for Stable Doodle. Let’s not forget that we started off with my 3 poorly drawn shapes. Nonetheless, the grid’s images certainly look like hand-drawn pieces that wouldn’t look out of place in a graphic novel, which is what the game’s creators were going for. After all, debates about the type of art used in Borderlands itself have been heated in the past. Whether Stable Doodle managed to mimic the style of the role-playing shooter game Borderlands is subjective. I’m not sure whether much time traveling is possible with the second device, but the drawing on the bottom right once again has some potential. It has a hovering display complete with the AI’s futuristic interpretation of something that could alter our universe. The results look great! The very first image in the top right of the grid seems to do the trick. Stable Doodle’s creation from the prompt for a futuristic device in the style of Borderlands. Reserve your judgment on my spacetime-altering machine for the next millennium. I went out on a limb with a triangle as the desk. I’m guessing we’ll still like square or rectangular displays in the future so that’s what I drew. ![]() Drawn in the style of the game Borderlands.” It consists of a display on top of a hover desk with a spacetime-altering module at the bottom. “A futuristic device from the year 3000 using technology that has never been seen before. What better way to test the AI’s creativity than to ask it to come up with something that doesn’t exist? I used the following prompt: If I upload a picture of myself with my friends, I want us to still be recognizable after Stable Diffusion’s touch-up.įirst off, the inanimate object. In the future, Stable Doodle should be allowing user-inputted photos. I wanted to see how well Stable Diffusion could stick to creating exactly what I want rather than resorting to some kind of stock AI photo bank. Then, lastly, I would try to sketch a widely recognizable person and ask the AI to be as realistic as possible. If I’m a person that can’t draw to save their life (I happen to be such a person) I’d need all the help I can get to end up with something presentable. I tested Stable Doodle in two different ways I thought sounded fair.įirst I’d try to generate an inanimate object while giving as much room as possible for the AI to be creative.

![]() It's always about safety first with ExpressVPN. Indeed, on the security front, the ExpressVPN extension also boasts settings to prevent HTML5 geolocation from revealing your real location while using HTTPS Everywhere to automatically force connections to the HTTPS versions of websites whenever they're available. ![]() It maintains a favorable privacy policy with no logging of traffic data or online activity. The Chrome VPN service did well in our performance tests. So, you can immediately turn on, change location and alter settings in the extension itself. Right from the get-go, you can tell that the Chrome extension has all the usability and smarts you'd expect from ExpressVPN's usual Windows and Mac clients. We explain more about the distinction further down this article -picking up a free option may suit you better in some circumstances. The five options we've picked out below are all paid-for, fully fledged 'premium' VPNs that offer unlimited use once you've signed up, rather than free extensions that have their limitations. Performance levels are also important, especially if you’re keen on using Chrome to access streaming services or downloading torrents - you don't want your VPN to slow down what you're doing. All the choices below have those assets in common. And as always, you’ll want strong encryption and protocol support for tight security. If you've decided to use a VPN, you’ll no doubt be looking to protect your privacy while surfing, and to bypass censorship or unblock geo-restricted content. ![]() From setting up the extension to using it daily, we really value ease-of-use. Of course, among this bewildering array of potential add-ons for Chrome are extensions from VPN providers, but how do you go about picking out the ideal VPN for Chrome?įor starters, your VPN should be just as easy to use and navigate as Google Chrome itself. Read on to find out all the details! How to choose the best Chrome VPN In this guide, we've summarized the best of the best when it comes to the right Google Chrome VPN extension for your needs, including both free and paid-for options. Google Chrome is the most popular browser there is, so it makes sense to use an extension that provides access to a provider's network of servers right within your browser.ĭue to its popularity, many VPN providers have introduced their own Chrome extensions to help bring more features like geo-unblocking and security right to your browser. This not only lets you easily access the features of your VPN, but also puts everything just a click away in Google Chrome. ![]() Regardless of whether you use your favorite VPN full time or just on an as-needed basis, bringing your VPN and Chrome together can totally streamline your browsing experience. ![]() ![]() After training in Switzerland, where he was born, he settled in Paris and went to work for the type foundry Deberny and Peignot.

![]() ![]() Our legal team is here to ensure you are provided with every penny you need and deserve following your workplace injury. ![]() Sadly, many workers’ compensation claims are unfairly denied or reduced as those injured tend to either drag their feet in reporting the injury or filing a claim. If it appears as though any aspect of your workplace activities contributed or directly caused the injury in question, it will be that much easier to successfully navigate the workers’ compensation process. ![]() Reach out to our legal team as soon as possible so we can review your unique case and determine if you have legal footing for a successful workers’ compensation claim. Meet With a Workers’ Compensation Attorney The workers compensation system is inherently complicated so do not hesitate to ask for assistance from our legal team when filing your workers’ compensation claim. If you do not file a workers’ compensation claim in a timely manner, there is the potential for the statute of limitations to expire, rendering you hurt and uncompensated for this unfortunate workplace injury. The clock is ticking after your work-related injury. The doctor’s write-up of your injury in the form of a formal medical report just might be enough to establish a clear causal relationship between your workplace activities and the injury in question. Obtaining medical assistance will reduce your discomfort, provide you with expert medical advice and serve to formally document the injury. All too often, when someone is hurt at work they “tough it out” or think that the pain will improve with time. Obtain Medical AssistanceĪbove all, you should obtain immediate medical assistance if you are in considerable pain. Furthermore, filing a formal injury report with your employer will help in the event that you endure symptoms hours, days or weeks after the date of the injury. Filling out such a report just might prompt your employer to implement essential safety protocols that prevent a similar incident down the road. Even if you walk away from the accident without visible injury, it still makes sense to file a formal injury report with your employer. When in doubt, over-document the injury so there is plenty of evidence to present at workers’ compensation hearings to prove your injury is causally related to your workplace activities. File an Injury Reportĭo not hesitate to fill out your employer’s injury report form or similar forms. If anyone witnessed the accident, identify them so they can provide statements to your employer and possibly serve as witnesses at workers’ compensation hearings. Explain exactly what happened so all the details of the injury can be documented in-depth within a formal report. ![]() It is imperative you notify your employer’s human resources office as well as your direct superior in the workplace about your injury. Here is exactly what you should do after being hurt at work: Report the Injury It is imperative you act quickly and decisively after this unfortunate incident. However, the actions you take or fail to take in the aftermath of an accident have the potential to sabotage your chances of obtaining compensation. If you are hurt while performing a work-related activity, you deserve compensation for your pain, suffering, lost wages, medical expenses and other related losses. What to do After You’re Hurt in an Accident on the Job ![]() ![]() ![]() The free version of Spark has always seemed overly generous, and the good news is that Spark 3 is no different. That’s right – you can get Spark 3 on Windows. ![]() Oh, and it’s also cross-platform, now, too. ![]() A bit like Brain.fm’s uncanny ability to make you more productive by piping sounds into your ears, Spark 3 has been designed to focus your attention only on what matters when it matters. This is why Spark 3 is built around something called ‘Intentional Productivity’. The solution to this lies in proactive limiting the distractions, Tyagulsky explained. My email inbox has always played too big a role in my day, and I’ll often find myself breaking away from an important production task just to see who wants me. “We have more wants and needs than we have the capacity to fulfil,” he said. Tyagulsky explained that the inspiration for Spark’s latest reimagining came from the information overload most of us are contending with these days. This resulted in a development path for Spark that saw the introduction of the smart inbox, intuitive search, and a bunch of collaboration features. A new approach to productivity and emailĭuring a press briefing, Readdle co-founder, Alex Tyagulsky, revealed that the goal for Spark has always been to “make email smart”. The good news is that the email client I’ve used for several years has received one hell of an update, and it has transformed my approach to email. For years, it’s been a mess of hacks, workarounds, stupid reliances, and endless amounts of gaffa tape. The issue has always been the way in which I approach email. This isn’t a reference to my inability to reply or keep on top of incoming messages – I’m actually pretty proficient in that area and pride myself on rarely missing important emails. Scratch that – I’m absolutely terrible at it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Visitors at Wild Florida have the opportunity to see both native wildlife and exotic animals roaming freely through the 2-mile safari park, including bison, wildebeest, alligators, crocodiles, antelope, zebras, giraffe, and more.

Between him and a couple others they pretty much sum it up. I read an almost identical post with a couple of individuals who make the point better than I do, read the remarks left by "444" on following page. The people asking the question aren't asking for anyones random opinion on what the best or cheapest subsonic platform is, if they wanted the opinions they would have posted a topic titled "What's the best subsonic rifle". I could go on writing these for a full page, but I am only trying to make a point. Is it a challenge to get an AR to perform great subsonic? Yes.ĭoes it cost more than other subsonic platforms to shoot? Yes.ĭo the people posting the topic know all this already? Most likely. 223 round? No.Īre there better subsonic platforms available? Of course. Is it as effective as a normal supersonic. The vast majority of the time the people posting have no experience whatsoever using these rounds and a large percentage don't even own a suppressor for any caliber. 223's there is ALWAYS one or two people that feel the need to post their opinions on the effectiveness of the round even though it's not the topic. I don't quite understand why on every post concerning subsonic. Remington Subsonics definitely sound the best but they are so unreliable that I don't even bother with them anymore. I was using Federal Target which is standard velocity but when the snow started to fly these rounds started going supersonic. Where I am at this ammo stays subsonic even in the colder temps. Out of my CZ rifle (16" barrel) I use CCI standard velocity. Out of my Buckmark pistol I shoot Federal bulk high velocity. Originally Posted By: KYshooter338Originally Posted By: IrelanderOriginally Posted By: Outsydlooknin75Federal Bulk. What ammo are you shooting in standard velocity? Subsonics are going to be more quiet but standard ammo is not going to sound the same suppressed vs not suppressed. Its got a shorter barrel then your CZ rifle. I shoot standard ammo out of my Walter P22 with suppressor and its still pretty quiet. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd like to know why I'm wrong. I just fugured it would be the same type of deal with the. But use subsonic and it's as quiet as a mouse. 22 rifle it is just as loud as without the suppressor. Well, I know that when I shoot high velocity ammo in my suppressed CZ. ![]() So, yes, obviously subsonic ammo is quieter than supersonic, but how this relates to your 223 cannot be directly compared to your 22LR. In a small little CQB pit shooting at targets 10yds away the sonic crack can still ring your ears a little bit just because it's reflecting off the target so close to you. If you are using it on a 50yd+ range then you'll be just fine without earpro. Your suppressor will knock that down to hearing safe levels even if you do still hear the sonic crack. However with a 223 (particularly in shorter barreled AR's) there is a LOT of muzzle blast and that is what deafens you. ![]() Try subsonic 22LR in an unsuppressed 22LR and it's fairly quiet. Even with a suppressor most of what you hear is the sonic crack. With a 22LR in a rifle length barrel there is very little heard muzzle blast in the first place. Just shoot the damn thing and you will be fine. Why is it that when people get cans they immediately think that they need subsonic ammo? You wont find a subsonic round that is going to cycle the action of an AR unless you go to a 300 whisper or something of that nature. Originally Posted By: IrelanderOriginally Posted By: Outsydlooknin75Federal Bulk. The 223 is designed to travel 3000 fps and works great with a can, but if you want quiet either go with a 22 LR or build a whisper.
