ELI5: what does parts per gallon mean?
Main Post:
I an attempting to make a cleaning bleach solution and can't seem to grasp the concept of mixing parts of solution per parts of water. What does it mean?
Top Comment: It just means of an equal amount. 1 part bleach per 6 parts water is the same as saying 1 cup of bleach per 6 cups of water. Scale it up or down as needed.

[Advanced Review] Doll Parts: A Lovesick Tale #1 Review: The Loss of Innocence (9/10)
Main Post: GONKBONK REVIEWS: DOLL PARTS: A LOVESICK TALE #1
Luana Vecchio's latest project, Doll Parts, revisits the world of Lovesick, offering readers a deeper look into the story of the enigmatic Domino. This four-part series promises to reveal the haunting transformation of an innocent girl into the twisted figure fans met in Lovesick.
Read the full version of this review here.
Review:
In the spirit of Lovesick, Doll Parts #1 is unafraid of taking readers through dark and disturbing territory. But while Lovesick thrusts readers into a surreal, violent, and sexualized nightmare, Doll Parts takes a more introspective and psychological approach. Luana Vecchio explores the unspoken anxieties of adolescence, particularly for young girls, tackling themes like the fear of change, self-discovery, and the quiet traumas that often go unnoticed.
The comic’s 48-page length gives the story the room it needs to establish its unsettling tone, build tension, and deliver a narrative rich with creeping dread. The comic’s thoughtful pacing allows Vecchio to fully explore Madeleine's world. Fans of Lovesick will appreciate how Doll Parts adds more complexity to Domino’s character, while newcomers will find this an accessible and gripping entry point into Vecchio’s chilling horror universe.
Visually, Vecchio’s art is a standout as always. Her clean lines and soft, pastel color palette create an inviting aesthetic that contrasts beautifully with the story’s darker themes. This juxtaposition heightens the impact when the narrative takes its shocking turns. Vecchio's ability to convey complex emotions through subtle facial expressions and body language adds depth to every scene.
For both fans of Lovesick and newcomers to Vecchio's work, Doll Parts #1 offers a unique and unsettling reading experience that lingers long after the final page. It's a testament to Vecchio's growth as a creator and a promising start to what could be her most ambitious work yet.
Image: Image ComicsWhy You Should Read Doll Parts:
- It explores Domino’s transformation with psychological depth and emotional weight.
- Vecchio’s soft yet expressive art contrasts beautifully with the story’s darker themes.
- It offers an intriguing entry point into the Lovesick story that new and returning fans can enjoy.
- Balances subtle, creeping dread with impactful moments of shocking realism.
Top Comment: This was so good and so intense I wanted to throw up. Luana is godtier. Lovesick was a masterpiece and this is shaping up to be even better.

The fine and problematic parts of SDXL 1.0's usage restrictions
Main Post:
First things first, here's a link to the license (atrociously formatted), IANAL but most of it reads like GPL+patent grant, the viral part involving that any downstream model has to have the same usage restrictions. Most of them are fine and the rest seem well-indended, iffy stuff has bullet points so you can ignore most of the wall of text if you want:
You agree not to use the Model or Derivatives of the Model:
In any way that violates any applicable national, federal, state, local or international law or regulation
Duh.
For the purpose of exploiting, harming or attempting to exploit or harm minors in any way
No real issues there... but isn't that already violate applicable laws?
To generate or disseminate verifiably false information and/or content with the purpose of harming others
Nor there, may or may not be a crime in whatever place.
To generate or disseminate personal identifiable information that can be used to harm an individual
How can PII possibly be generated by a model? But, anyway, in case it can yep that wouldn't be proper cricket.
To defame, disparage or otherwise harass others
Also already covered as crime
For fully automated decision making that adversely impacts an individual’s legal rights or otherwise creates or modifies a binding, enforceable obligation
That would violate at least the EU's planned AI regulation but I guess it's good to have it here, too because not every place is the EU.
- For any use intended to or which has the effect of discriminating against or harming individuals or groups based on online or offline social behavior or known or predicted personal or personality characteristic
This is problematic: It disallows use by people e.g. making a poster campaign to encourage people to discriminate against people who do fascist stuff. Last I checked being a hateful assclown is social behaviour. Differently put you are disallowed to use SDXL to prevent your bar to turn into a Nazi bar. You cannot generate memes that make people of the place you post it in unwelcoming of fascists.
- To exploit any of the vulnerabilities of a specific group of persons based on their age, social, physical or mental characteristics, in order to materially distort the behavior of a person pertaining to that group in a manner that causes or is likely to cause that person or another person physical or psychological harm
If I use SDXL to generate a meme to exploit the youthful naivete of a LGBTQ+ person to convince them with old fart wisdom that they are valid as they are, thereby distorting their behaviour from the self-hating baseline they got conditioned with, and their bigoted parents don't vibe with that I might very well have done such harm to those bigots.
For any use intended to or which has the effect of discriminating against individuals or groups based on legally protected characteristics or categories
Again, already a crime. It even says it right there: "legally protected".
To provide medical advice and medical results interpretation
Same EU AI act thing again, yep keep it.
To generate or disseminate information for the purpose to be used for administration of justice, law enforcement, immigration or asylum processes, such as predicting an individual will commit fraud/crime commitment (e.g. by text profiling, drawing causal relationships between assertions made in documents, indiscriminate and arbitrarily-targeted use).
Also keep that, yes, important. This is about use by state actors which can write their own laws so referring to them won't work.
Side note: Nope invisible watermarking is not a requirement, contrary to what some people wrote in some places. It was why I looked into the license in the first place.
Top Comment:
After the lawsuit on the 1.5 model, I believe they simply want to cover their backs. Perhaps they could have avoided including the derivative models, but it might have been a lawyer's advice. In any case, it's a way to shift the responsibility onto the end users.
Are there hidden parts around the maps?
Main Post:
I remember people talking about this before release, especially with the scan mode and large areas shown so far, but haven't heard anything yet despite quite a few people playing already apparently?
Curious if I should be looking around for parts when I finally get access or just play normally, aka fly around and kill everything that moves.
Top Comment: Yes, in the recent stream where we saw PvP Cowboy also played through the mission we saw in the first hud-less gameplay reveal. He found two chests and opened the second one to get the 3000-Wrecker part. At the very least one "legendary" named part is guaranteed that is the Moonlight blade. It's also very like the Karasawa energy rifle will be in the game as well somewhere.
