AI Art at Farmers Market Contest Winner?

Post image
144 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm needing a second opinion because I feel like I'm going crazy. The Larimer County Farmers Market held a poster contest and they announced their winners on another social media platform. Is the first place (middle) not AI generated???

I didn't enter the contest nor do I have any real stake in this, other than wanting to advocate for local artists.

Hello. I’m out of state right now and my my roommates notified me my cat got out some how. Her name is Fluff and his is my best friend and been with me through a lot of VA appointments and life. She’s 2 1/2. We live on Parkview Dr.
I am very distraught about this and tempted to drive 17h back to look for her. She is not chipped. I know.

Was keeping a close eye on the developing storms around 7:30pm and once I started seeing some sparks from my window, my friend and I wasted no time racing up to Horsetooth to see if we could get lucky overlooking the city. Views like this will never get old.

Photo Settings: ISO100, 40mm, f/5, 8s. Shot on the Sony A7RV w/ the Sigma 28-105 f/2.8.

Has anyone seen a peach stand selling the really big ones? If so, where? Or did they weather keep them normalish sized this season?

Seeking Advice Has anyone taken Gen Psych I and GenPsych II at FRCC in the same semester?

1 Upvotes

I’m starting at Front Range Community College this fall and was wondering if anyone has taken General Psychology I and General Psychology II during the same semester.

Before commenting —
*I have asked both an advisor and the psychology department. I am specifically looking for students who have done this.

A little background about me: I was a psychology major about 20 years ago and completed 15+ psychology courses before life took me in a different direction. I’m returning to school now to finish my degree and eventually transfer to CSU.

I’m planning to take both courses regardless because I like that psychology programs have begun dividing introductory psychology into two courses. It seems to allow much more time and attention to be devoted to the different areas within psychology, rather than trying to cover everything in a single semester.

I’m not taking these because I think they’ll be “easy.” I’m actually looking for a refresher since psychology has advanced quite a bit over the past two decades.

I have strong reading comprehension and writing skills, so I’m not too concerned about the workload. I’m more curious whether the material builds on itself in a way that makes taking both together difficult, or if they complement each other well.

If you’ve taken both at FRCC, especially in the same semester, I’d love to hear your experience. Would you recommend it?
Thank you!!

Notary Walk-In Suggestions

Just wondering what people recommend for a good walk-in notary service, preferably in the central or NW part of town. Not tax- or court-related, I just need a quick document signature notarized before mailing.

Seeking Advice Looking for help with a small cabinet job

Upvotes

We have this desk nook in our kitchen (no idea why ppl are still putting desks in kitchens) and we could really use some more storage space to help get organized.

I don't want to turn this into a big expensive project that permanently converts the space to a closet or dry bar setup (cool as that may be) so I just need some cabinets installed above the desk for now. I included a photo of other cabinets in our kitchen for style reference.

The nook is 4 feet wide and I estimate the cabinets would be somewhere between 3-3.5 feet tall at most, and could be up to 2 feet deep maximum.

We are far too busy with 2 young kids and demanding jobs to do this ourselves. Can someone recommend an installer to come measure and handle this for us at a reasonable price?

Seeking Advice Health district dentistry

Upvotes

Does anyone have experience with them and know a doctor there thats actually experienced? Or do all the doctors sue the same technique?

I had an appointment with them 6 months ago and they have totally ruined my teeth. My bite is off and there is composite bonding all over my teeth and on top of my teeth I cant even floss. I haven't been able to eat as well because my teeth are sensitive and I cant bite anything, not even soft foods. Its been really hard but I dont have the funds to go anywhere else. Now im worried that they didnt even fill my cavity correctly or did a proper check up.

Is there a doctor anyone can recommend that works there that isnt sloppy with their work and has the skills to actually do proper work? Ive been in pain for too long and need to see all my options before I drop thousands at a different clinic to fix the mess they left behind.

Porcini hunting

0 Upvotes

Does anyone here go porcini hunting? It looks like the area to the west got some rain and it's porcini season in those elevations. Back home I used to hunt for chanterelles, but I've been skunked on those here. Just wondering if porcini might be more prevalent?
