I caught a segment on local news about port modernization. The old timers they interviewed all said the new tech makes the job safer but less hands-on. Kinda miss when skill meant more than software.

My dad's old mower had a manual you could actually understand. Now everything's just made to break so you have to buy a new one. The whole thing feels kinda bleak, what's even the point of owning stuff anymore.

Did you try giving it photos of rooms you actually like? I learned the hard way that showing the AI my empty room just makes it suggest crazy stuff... it's like it gets bored. What worked for me was taking pictures of finished rooms from magazines that had the vibe I wanted. The suggestions were way more normal, like a soft gray instead of electric blue. It still gave some odd ones, but having a good reference picture gave it something better to copy.

Actually depends on the design. A 45 degree offset can spread the weight better than a straight vertical stack in some cases. It's all about how the bricks are laid and supported. Seen some wild ones that have stood for a hundred years.
