@DarthAmalgam I haven’t yet uploaded it on YT. Will get that done likely later today or early tomorrow.

@yacineMTB I always view it like this. Students who get an A (top 10%) in a course are really into it. The rest not so much.

@Rainmaker1973 The universe is fundamentally integer.
There are a finite number of Planck cubes, which means a limited number of digits of pi (which can be thought of in integer form) to calculate volume.
And you cannot have a fraction of a quark or lepton, so … integer.

McDonald's ads in Japan vs. McDonald's ads in America.
I hate this so much.

Dragonball peaked at Cell. The whole thing should have ended when Cell was defeated. That was a perfect end point for the story.
Literally everything after Cell was inferior. If you disagree, you’re wrong.

After the Credits:
"For decades, Hollywood treated Mike Judge like a comedy outlier, never recognizing that he was dissecting American institutions with the precision of an engineer running a stress test on a collapsing system. From 'Office Space', 'Idiocracy', 'King of the Hill' and 'Silicon Valley', this is the story of how Judge wasn’t chasing punchlines, he was exposing structural weaknesses in our culture, and how reality kept drifting closer to the absurd worlds he put on screen."

You will eventually need a license to own a computer.
This is where all this "Age Verification for OS" stuff is coming from.
It's not about protecting kids. If it were, the CA law would not demand that you share this age data with any dev that asks for it.
It's about controlling access to compute and what you do with it.

Here’s where each of the “All Operating Systems must do age verification” laws are as of today. - Brazil (Law 15.211) : Signed into law. Requirements in effect on March 17th, 2026. - California (AB-1043) : Signed into law. Requirements in effect on January 1st, 2027. - Colorado (SB26-51) : Passed Senate on March 3, 2026. - New York (S8102A) : In Senate Committee. Note: As of today, March 4th, Operating Systems developers have only 13 days remaining before the Brazilian law takes effect. Related: In order to “incentivize” age verification, The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has announced that they will ignore COPPA violations for software performing age verification.

@bunburyoudoujp Definite cool factor here. I do wish, though, that people would be a little more chill on the operation. I mean just about everyone on the planet wants the mullahs dead. That includes the Iranians.

Comic books and strips start in newspapers just before the 20th Century in the states. Basically, speech bubbles coupled with a sense of motion in a sequence of panels. Or, the invention of really nice story boards.

matttt - comic & manga history:
"Exner, whose first book
is appropriately subtitled a revisionist
history, has basically declared war on
the idea of an exclusively Japanese
origin of manga, and instead says that
Japanese manga owes a substantial and
frequently unagnowledged debt to
American comics."

Warning. It's about 50 minutes
Electromagnetic Videos and Matt's TV Barn:
"After the NTSC was introduced in the USA in the 1950s, PAL and SECAM were created in Germany and France to overcome the shortcomings of "Never Twice the Same Color" NTSC. Together with NTSC, these standards were the three analog color TV systems and were in use until we all switched to digital.
In this video we look at all three system in terms of how they placed color over a black and white TV signal, and the tricks they used to do it. We also look at how compatible the signal was on black and white TVs, and how good it was in color. "

yeah sex is cool but have you ever done a tiny refactor that started a refactoring cascade and suddenly tons of cruft in the codebase fell into place as if the abstractions were written by god himself

Anime drinking game. Watch a modern dub and drink every time a character says: "Seriously?" 😎

@bunburyoudoujp True, but a good story is a good story. Also in the States, finding remotely interesting stories is rare.

アニメ (Anime) is the Japanese word for animation.
There’s no reason to call something “anime” of it isn’t from Japan.

@ACmarksman8722 @CatholicaPuella you have to rewind watch it a few times to know what's being said. Or understand it. You could cheat and see the subtitled version and then extrapolate.

The ‘bel’ in ‘decibel’ is for Alexander Graham Bell.
Since the ‘B’ in 'dB' is a name-derived unit, it is capitalized when abbreviated.
