Dry rub chemistry changes up here too, not just the cook times.

Mate, that branch collar thing is basic stuff but these guys just don't care. Had a neighbor who hired a crew to "view trim" a big white oak and they left those same 8 inch stubs. Told him it's basically a death sentence for the tree. Took three years but those stubs started rotting and one big limb came down and smashed his fence. Cut is cut I guess, but proper pruning cuts flush with the branch collar let the tree seal itself. These hacks think they're saving time but they're just creating expensive problems down the road.

Nah I gotta push back on "could just be similar angles and lighting" making it look the same. I actually looked into this pretty deep after I found a generated face that was almost pixel-for-pixel identical to a stock photo of a woman from a 2017 photoshoot. Different lighting, different angle, but the exact same asymmetrical mole placement and scar on the eyebrow. That's not a coincidence. There's been studies and lawsuits showing these models literally memorize and regurgitate specific training images when they're overfitted. The fact that you can reverse image search and get a direct match to a copyrighted photo means the model didn't "learn" to create new faces, it just stored and recombined pieces of existing ones. It's not just pattern matching, it's straight up copying with extra steps.

Hang on, your barber told you that? That's wild, mine swears by hot towels and says it changes the whole shave.

Ngl that ace 250 is a beast for the price. First real find always makes the gear feel worth it.
