One thing I always tried to do when coaching kids' sports was to start and finish practice sessions on time. I figured it just showed respect to the parents and the children.

If ever there was a problem you'd think the team could fix, it's generating images that don't fit in the canvas.
05.10.2025 02:07 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Amazes me how often it generates images that don't fit in the displayed canvas. It must end up wasting so many resources regenerating the same image many times. And it does that even though I warn it each time. And then of course, it can't spell. Images seem to work best if you add the text later.
