Unfamiliar Kettle Video of the Day So it looks like our electric dolphin left VOMS because (a) another company waved a lot of money at her and (b) that other company has basically left its Japanese operations in the hands of a former drug-dealing Yakuza dragon who is close friends with said dolphin. I heard the name mentioned over the past week but I've been too tied up with work to keep up to date with Vtuber corporate hijinks even when it involves some of my favourite talents. Disclaimer: Voice, check. Kettle, check. Dayo, check. English/Japanese, check. Nope, no idea who she is. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1
Hi, Pixy. Firefox keeps minimizing every few days when I open it. I do the fix, but it happens again later. What do you think is the cause?

I have seen that sort of thing on Windows, though not with Firefox specifically. It tries to remember the last size of the window for that particular app, and sometimes it gets Alzheimer's. Not sure what the fix is exactly.

RE: revelation of the murderer . . . one early Ellery Queen involves him creating a trap for the murderer, so that his own actions convict him; and another gives us a car and plane chase (in 1933!) from New York to Chicago. One John Dickson Carr (I won't say which one) has detective Dr. Gideon Fell attending a wake for the murder victim and pointing out the killer, and not all the suspects are present. There are many ways to reveal your murderer!

I guess languages that don't use an abecedary or alphabet don't see the same sort of drift and mutation of personal names, do they? Like Chinese, the ideographs used to represent a syllable may change over time, but the syllable itself doesn't, so Xiang is Xiang, ten thousand years ago as well as today. But if you have a writing system that's intimately tied to pronunciation only and not meaning, you can have a ratchet effect where the orthography drifts, which makes the pronunciation drift, which makes the orthography drift more.... add in effects from transliteration between different languages and scripts, making allowances for some languages just plain not having the same phonemes available as others do....

How do you make a hot dog stand? Take away its chair.

So it looks like our electric dolphin left VOMS because (a) another company waved a lot of money at her and (b) that other company has basically left its Japanese operations in the hands of a former drug-dealing Yakuza dragon who is close friends with said dolphin.
Part of the problem with VOMS is it's just a tiny outfit. As far as I know, Gyari runs everything himself. I remember Pikamee saying she really hoped people liked her new model because she shelled out $10k of her own money to have the new art done and rigged. Also, she mentioned she really wanted to do 3D. A high-end 3D mocap setup can cost upwards of $80k, plus there's a $30k recurring software license. It's doable for a company like Hololive because they can spread the cost over 75 vtubers. Check out this comparison between a $100 and $25k system. You get what you pay for - look at the hands and feet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WZSCVeGblU I question whether Vshojo is going to be able to do that for her. I was hoping she would show up in Hololive, though admittedly that was a long shot. Posted by: Ace's liver at May 25, 2023 05:39 AM (wGeit) 56

I met a somewhat retarded young man at the lake yesterday who enjoyed telling me his life story. Where he works now, where he used to work, his plans to enter into a group home. He was fishing and his electric powered bicycle was equipped with all sorts of unique storage for his rods and tackle. He claims to travel everywhere on it through rain and snow even. I didn't see a license plate on it but he did complain about how much the state charges him to use the roads. It was a pleasant day and I just let him talk away.

World War II anniversary I missed because I had never heard of it.
April 24, 1943 a Panamanian freighter docked in New York harbor caught fire. It was loaded with over 1,300 tones of explosives that included AA ammo, depth charges, and block buster bombs. Due to the heroic efforts of the Coast Guard and fire fighters it did not explode and instead was towed out to deeper water to be scuttled. Posted by: Anna Puma at May 25, 2023 06:45 AM (/FRJ5) 119

New Mexico's Crescit eundo. Translated from Latin, it means "It grows as it goes" and has been criticized for appearing strange or even nonsensical at first hearing. However, the intended effect is more clear if one considers it within the context of the epic poem De Rerum Natura (On the Nature of Things) by first-century B.C. Latin poet Lucretius. Here, it refers to a thunderbolt increasing in strength as it moves across the sky, referenced by the selectors of the motto as a symbol of dynamic progress.

This young man had the day off apparently. He works two jobs, one mucking the stalls of a horse farm up the hill M-F and a weekend job apparently in some sort of construction. He used to be a dishwasher for a restaurant and would start at 7:30 in the morning and work until 1:30 at night. He did complain about co-workers who would call out sick all the time or not show up at all. He seemed proud of the fact that even using his bicycle for transportation he always showed up. I guess the lesson he wanted me to know is not to judge him on how he looked or how he spoke. Which I did not - but I was pretty amazed at his accomplishments.

One my guilty pleasures is visiting state capitol buildings and getting lost in the permanent public art on display. It tells you so much about the hopes and aspirations of our various states. Same goes for their mottos and Great Seals. New Mexico's is quite new and is called the Round House as it is circular. This I find an amusing unintended commentary about the nature of government. It is completely devoid of the more common Federal or Greek influences and embraces the Pueblo and Spanish heritage. It's quite beautiful and blends into Santa Fe and the surround land effortlessly.

The animals have to be fed and housed and their stalls cleaned frequently. A lot of work for what?

"I truly loved my son, and simply wanted to convey to him how much he meant to me and how much I loved him. I am sure people use phrases all the time to express to their loved ones the depths of their love. Although I chose words that I thought would be impactful with Brian given our relationship, the letter was in no way related to Gabby.
I would say it is impactful. Hey, mom, you remember how you said you would give me a garbage bag and shovel if I had to hide a body? Posted by: Cat Ass Trophy at May 25, 2023 07:45 AM (slgIg) 176

Morning. 'rons and 'ronettes.
You know, sometimes I think Ace really is 29, at least based on what he calls "mystery clicks" on the sidebar. Honestly, is there anyone in the Horde who thinks the Eurhythmics and Steve Miller are 'mystery clicks?' Posted by: Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Piercing at May 25, 2023 07:46 AM (AW0uW) 178

X1000. I am the only employed person in the household. Plus I do all of the outside work. Plus I have to do 51% of the inside work. Posted by: Cat Ass Trophy at May 25, 2023 07:48 AM (slgIg) 180
A new survey of about 1,000 veterans found no evidence that the population harbors more extreme beliefs than the rest of the American public — though its authors acknowledged that the results are limited by how many people were willing to be honest about their extremist stances. And it did show that about a third of veterans surveyed believe in the “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory – that people of color are being allowed to enter the U.S. to upend the white majority.

Have to wonder if Tucker saw what happened yesterday with DeSantis announcement as to how viable Twitter is as a platform for him.

"My first computer had a Motorola 6845 video chip running at 3.5MHz and could be persuaded to display somewhere between 10 and 12 colours if you were really persistent."
My first computer was a Kaypro-2, running a Z80 at 2MHz. No graphics at all. That being said, for its day, nearly half a century ago, it was a wonderful machine, particularly for word processing; and with it, I made a lot of money. And it still works!

>GitLab is great software
It's written in Ruby on Rails, and Zed Shaw was 100% correct about Rails. The functionality is great but that codebase is eventually going to hit its breaking point. It already needs a server with a minimum of 8GB of RAM just to run. Posted by: Daniel Ream at May 25, 2023 02:03 PM (DiCKO) Processing 0.03, elapsed 0.0419 seconds. |
