How do I prescriptions for glasses even work on your side of the pond? I assumed it was just jargon of a sort, because round these parts I just go to a glasses seller and ask him for his strongest glasses. Then he says “no traveller, my strongest glasses are too strong for you, you can’t handle my strongest glasses” and does the eye test with me before making lenses at the proper strength.

Omou again, fucker.
My sides.
And I know it’s a copypasta and the bad translation is the point, but “akachan” is way too friendly for “You’re fucking dead, kiddo”. I’d go for “gaki”, which is a common part of weeb lingo and literally means “kiddo”, with the same connotations and all.

What is your point? You don’t want to swear, but you don’t not want to swear either? Maybe sort out your beliefs then.
- Comment on minor tomfoolery 🛻💨🎶 6 days ago:
If you don’t want to swear, don’t swear. Mildly censoring a swear word to “f*ck” doesn’t accomplish anything. Everyone who reads it knows exactly what it says. And if you go far enough to make it unrecognizable, like “!@#*”, now you’re just pretending to swear, but for what purpose? Couldn’t you accomplish your goals by rephrasing to avoid a swear word entirely? (Assuming your goal is to avoid swear words, of course. If the goal is to sound like a cartoon character, consider taking up a funny catch phrase.)

The strongest urinators are cicadas, but there’s other animals that score higher on the Jet Shape? I guess ~100 Jet Shape must be peak then and everything higher than that is actually a weaker form of urination.

Let Go was released 23 years ago. 23 years before that, Toto (a band my grandpa likes) released their debut album. Going to this tour now is like going to a Toto/Dire Straits concert in 2002.

Either you’re unplugging it to move it somewhere else and plugging it in there, or you’re unplugging it for good, boxing it up and putting it in a shed. Neither scenario ends up with loose plugs on your floor.
- Comment on The clueless people are out there among us 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think it’s fair to judge plugs by how they behave when dropped on the floor (unless they’re exposing live wires). Do you often have a lot of loose plugs lying around? If you find yourself unplugging things a lot to turn them off, you may be interested to hear the switch was invented not long after the light bulb for exactly this reason.

Couldn’t you still easily tell which side of the print got the initial impact of the heel and which side has the curve of the toes? Again, depending on weight of person and type of ground, but I think it would look off even to a layperson.
- Comment on Android’s next big feature turns your phone into a desktop 4 weeks ago:
I’m not sure if I understand what you’re talking about exactly. With root I can access all files on my device (including /data/data, where app internal files are kept) and I can give permission to apps to access all files too, it they ask for it. Not that I’d want that, because it’s way safer to keep user data in /storage/emulated/0 and give read permissions on file or folder level (like /Pictures for a gallery app, or just the picture I want to share for a social media app).
If you want to share data between apps, the easiest way would be to give them access to the same folder in user space. That isn’t OS maker’s generosity, that’s basic security controls.
- Comment on Android’s next big feature turns your phone into a desktop 4 weeks ago:
I recently saw terminal access as a feature of Android 16 too, so if you have su access, that should give you all the power you need. Now let’s hope root will become standard, instead of needing to flash Magisk.
- Comment on xkcd #3081: PhD Timeline 5 weeks ago:
I think there’s a difference between being able to understand and having all the information to understand. Randall has a very wide range of topics that he makes comics on and most readers won’t know enough about every topic to get every joke, even though he does his best to simplify it for a broad audience. That’s the reason ExplainXKCD exists. But his audience is generally nerds, people who like learning new information, which is also what Explain caters to. So it is both true that his audience can (and are willing to) understand and that Explain helps them understand. (I also think that nerds love explaining stuff, so it makes sense that the main fandom website is ExplainXKCD, even if there were no demand for explanations.)

This is famously an impossible problem to solve. For example, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is a Science Saru anime, but MAL sees it primarily as a Netflix production based on a Canadian story. And I have to agree: if the English dub isn’t trash, is it really anime?
I think when you’re studying the contracts between different multinationals to decide whether something is anime or not, it’s better to err on the side of community and friendly discussion, making anything anime-adjacent fair game for this instance.

- Comment on What is Superman's "kryptonite"? 1 month ago:
Superman makes for great stories, as long as you don’t focus on his power. You can’t beat him with physical strength, so stop trying to write strong villains. Probably stop writing villains at all. What Superman struggles with isn’t physical embodiments of evil, it’s the good intentions paving the way to hell. You can’t punch a person with good intentions for their bad outcomes. It’s hard being the ultimate arbiter of good in a world of complex morality.

I tried to find the hidden microtonal harmony, but no, it seems to be properly off key. Let’s hope they change it after 6 episodes and it turns out to be the vocals for a completely different song. (Now I got myself hyped for a 4d move that’s probably not even real.)

- Comment on This is why we have a defense budget 1 month ago:
Could be lots of downtime, meaning lots of time to watch anime? But I also think there’s way more weebs than people think and it’s mainly in dangerous jobs like military that people lose their inhibitions, stop giving a fuck and just start bonding over whatever they like. Anime is just weird enough to be kept hidden initially, but also harmless enough to admit to your buddies.

- Comment on Switch 2 Tutorial Game Welcome Tour Costs $10, Nintendo Explains Why It's Not a Free Console Pack-In - IGN 1 month ago:
Yeah, I expected them to ask the full $60 for it, which would be completely unreasonable, but at least I understand why they wouldn’t give it away then. But 10? They could easily eat that, they just don’t want to.
Either way, I can’t imagine anyone paying for a “game” that’s nothing more than an instruction booklet. If it were free, maybe someone would open it while Mario Kart is downloading.

Hana wa Saku, Shura no Gotoku
I didn’t really have high expectations of this, but the first episode did a good job with the animation supporting the poems, so I kept watching. Sadly, the entire series was setting up for a championship arch that didn’t actually appear. Instead, the climax/resolution of the last episodes introduced a bunch of new characters and some family drama that would have needed 5 episodes to properly explore, so it just fell flat. They introduced plenty of interesting characters for a cool qualifier event or something, I just wanted Hana to read more poems. That’s what hooked your viewers, it’s what sets you apart, so use it.Medalist
Really solid, punchy animation. Well choreographed action. Wormies.Blue Box
Love how it combines a sports story with a romance story without compromising on either. All likeable characters getting into believable drama and it never feels like the writing is stalling, every episode develops the characters and story in an interesting way. And outside of the romance, I love to see Taiki train hard, play good badminton and beat strong rivals. - Comment on Imagine It. 2 months ago:
