- Comment on What is the longest anime episode of all time? 2 days ago:
97 minutes
At that length, I think I’d call it a movie/film even if it’s part of a TV series’s progression.
If we’re including Japanese anime films in general, In This Corner of the World is supposedly the longest at 168 minutes for the extended version, followed by Final Yamato at 163 minutes, and then The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya at 162 minutes – according to this list on Wikipedia.

- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 1 week ago:
Yes, and they’re often used together.
Celery is cold tolerant and can be grown/harvested in winter, IIRC. That might also be a factor in why it’s prevalent in soups?

Wait. Why the fuck are people searching for Minecraft on PornHub? O.o
Did the Creeper Girl get, uh, more explicit in the years since she was on YouTube or something?

- Comment on It's quite impressive that most English speakers across the world understand each other, despite variations in accents/dialects 1 week ago:
My guess was that it was probably due to Hollywood, but some form of mass communication, almost certainly.

I had a roommate from Manchester (UK) for a couple months back in college. I’m American (US). He seemed to have no trouble understanding me, but I usually couldn’t understand what he said without him repeating it multiple times.
- Comment on Any games I missed in the last 21 months? 2 weeks ago:
I haven’t gotten around to playing either of them yet myself, but Nine Sols and Astro Bot also come to mind as titles that got a lot of attention.
- Comment on Transliterated country names into Chinese Language use pre-existing characters that already has its own meaning, therefore native Chinese speakers have a subconcious impression based on country names. 2 weeks ago:
Which sort of makes sense since the US has always had a huge agricultural / grain surplus.
米国 is because of ateji, not agriculture. 米 is the second character of 亜米利加 – an old transliteration of “a-me-ri-ka” as kanji. 亜 is the shorthand for Asia (亜細亜); the second character 米 is used as the shorthand for America. 米 is both the country (USA) and the continents – e.g. 北米 and 南米 are sometimes used for North and South America, respectively, while 米軍 is the US military.
Katakana has mostly replaced kanji transliteration of foreign words in modern Japanese, but some uses like the 米 shorthand persist.
- Comment on Why ActivityPub over Nostr? - function only 2 weeks ago:
I haven’t tried Nostr, so have no opinions on what the experience of actually using it is like, but cryptographic identity seems like it’d be a better way (technically speaking) of doing things than AP; tying everything to domain names has worked rather poorly – as we’ve seen repeatedly every time an instance goes offline…
I ended up on AP after jumping ship from reddit. I was on kbin first (since it was readable w/o JS and I liked the UI), and then later using the mlmym interface for lemmy as kbin because more unstable and eventually went offline.

I wasn’t a huge fan of the story, but Garden of Words is worth watching just for the scenery art.

The fifth instance denied my application with, “read the coc and reapply”
Don’t know what instance that is specifically, but if their application process is anything like reddthat’s lemmy application process, there’s probably a bit in there about something specific you’re supposed to include in the application so they can weed out bots.

- Comment on The osu! Open Source Client, Lazer, Has Been Made the Default Download Option for New Users 5 weeks ago:
I did do the tutorial (after fucking up the first time through the initial setup and only getting the recommended songs and going “?!?!?!” for a moment) so I know about Z/X but what I mean is it’s not entirely clear if I’m supposed to keep holding them while dragging. The UI’s clear enough if I missed entirely, but if I kind of got it, I’m not really sure if I’m doing it right. With the reversals and the circle closing-in timing and a lot going on on the screen visually, it’s a bit much all at once. TBF, it’d probably make sense if I spend more time poking at it; those were my initial impressions.
Thanks for trying to help me, btw, with your comment; always appreciated.
- Comment on The osu! Open Source Client, Lazer, Has Been Made the Default Download Option for New Users 5 weeks ago:
I’ve seen recordings of people playing this before in stream VODs a couple times before the player fired up another game, and, well, this post finally got me to try it.
The on-ramp for new players trying to make sense of it is, uh, not great. Trying to make an account on the website tells you to download the game. Okay… Trying to make an account in the game then sent me back to the website!? (Why not just let me register on the website in the first place?)
The basic idea of the circle mode is easy enough to understand – although I doubt I will ever get very good at this, at least with a mouse, and I’m still not quite sure on whether or not I’m supposed to hold a key down/click-and-drag or just click and then follow the motion? – but there are other modes that it threw me in (mania?) when I tried loading another song from the catalog and it was rather difficult to even figure out what keys I was supposed to push. (The diagram on the wiki was not helpful – I spent a while confused thinking I was supposed to use ASDF for a “4K” when it seems like it’s actually DFJK for some reason?) Probably all makes sense to someone who’s been playing it for years, but, yeah… Pretty UI, but the on-boarding could use some work.
Might be fun to poke around at for music discovery though.
Anyway, that’s my 2 cents worth from giving it a try.
- Comment on Recommendations for an all-SSD home server? 5 weeks ago:
It looks like the connector is U.2 so I’d look for motherboards that indicate support for that explicitly. From a quick search, it looks like SuperMicro makes some. This is getting out of my area of expertise though; I just know the crazy drives exist…
- Comment on Recommendations for an all-SSD home server? 5 weeks ago:
Assume an unlimited budget for now, I just want to know what’s out there.
I mean, if you’re willing to pay the price of a car per SSD they go up to at least 122TB (e.g. Solidigm SBFPF2BV0P12001 D5-P5336 – $16K~$20K depending on supplier from a quick search) density per drive…
I don’t actually recommend that for personal use, but since you were curious about what’s out there, there’s some absolutely crazy shit in enterprise server gear if you have deep enough pockets.
Cipher (shrimp cake)
