Would you rather take on 30 otter-sized horses, or one horse-sized otter?

The only one I’d take issue with here is Spy X Family. I think it’s more of an “all ages” show that focuses heavily on Anya and her classmates antics. All the rest make sense!

I can’t second this one enough. Vinland Saga was absolutely fantastic. Although, the first season might be a technical disqualification because of how much time it spends on the MC’s youth. I personally think it fits the theme though.

I’d tentatively add Berserk to the list. Tentatively because the story does go back to recount the characters’ youths, but that’s really not the main focus.

Another good one with mostly adult cast and a more mature plot is Monster.

That was indeed what I was thinking of. I didn’t realize it was rejected. My bad, and thanks for the letting me know!

Not to mention that their orbits degrades over time so they have to be continually replenished. That comes at a huge cost which is highly subsidized by US tax payers.

The problem is systemic IMO. The whole VC model requires the enshitification cycle to work. Any technology that should reduce human labour and be a net positive for society instead always ends up in the hands of capitalists who’ll use it to extract maximal profit.

Like, on a fundamental level, automating people’s jobs is a good thing. The problem is all the benefits are going to a very small number of people.

Oh, it’s basically the same as Asshole (or Janitor, as my grandmother called it) but with teams, a definite goal, and a few more valid card combinations. One is obviously a derivative. Now I wonder which came first.

Edit: And to answer my own question:

It is a Westernized version of Chinese climbing card games[5] such as Zheng Shangyou, Tien Len in Vietnam and the Japanese Daifugō.[1]

Not quite 100, but the last long anime I watched was Monster (75 eps). And the one before that was Space Brothers (99 eps). I’d highly recommend both.

Backblaze regularly releases failure rate statistics of their drives, and it’s often a big enough dataset to be quite meaningful. I haven’t been keeping up with it lately, but there certainly was a period of time where there were substantial differences in the failure rates of different manufacturers.

So while you do still need to have drive failure mitigation strategies, buying more reliable devices can definitely save you time and headache in the future by having to deal with failures less frequently.

Not that the average person could even do this without a certain baseline level of fitness.

And that’s a huge understatement. You need incredible core and upper body strength to do any of those holds. You need to have an elite level of fitness to compete at that level.

You lost my interest at 640x360. As curious as I am, I’ll wait for the official release.

And even if it was, that didn’t stop the Ruroni Kenshin remake from going ahead. :S

Let’s goo! Kusuriya was one of the surprise hits of that season for me. Glad to see it’s getting a 2nd season.

I’m happy to take it as a win that we can avoid a real war if it means some obnoxious pettiness.

I tried to watch the UY remake, not having seen the original, but I just couldn’t get into it. I’m not sure why, since I’ve enjoyed most of Rumiko Takahashi’s other works. I do recall it looking very good stylistically, though, so I’m kinda excited for the Ranma ½ remake.

This is also just a cutesy hand sign for “fox” in Japan, with zero alt-right symbolism. Foxes are a significant part of the mythology there, and there are all sorts of tales about leaving food for fox spirits to bring good fortune. There’s even a prominent vTuber who’s regularly depicted making the sign.

I wish these alt-right fuckwads would stop trying to wreck shit for the rest of the world.

One minor caveat where CPU could matter is AVX support. I couldn’t get ollama to run well on my system, despite having a decent GPU, because I’m using an ancient processor.

“We take a zero tolerance [approach] to bladed articles in public, and Bray has fallen afoul of this."

Come on, this is ridiculous. Can I carry a chisel? A utility knife? An ice skate? A screwdriver? A lawnmower? A stirrup hoe? Those are all bladed articles. This is on the level of what this man did.

Give him a fine and move on.

Did you read the paper from my 2nd link? There seems to be a growing body of evidence that suggests that is indeed possible:

Similar to the increase in the prevalence of persistent median arteries of the forearms, the prevalence of other anatomical features such as spina bifida occulta (Henneberg & Henneberg 1999; Solomon et al., 2009; Lee et al., 2010), tarsal coalitions (Solomon et al., 2003) and fabella (Berthaume et al., 2019) has increased over the last 2–3 centuries. Evidence indicates that changes in the natural selection pressures acting on these specific anatomical features could have caused microevolutionary processes, leading to the observed increases in prevalence rates (Henneberg and Henneberg 1999; Solomon et al., 2009; Lee et al., 2010; Rühli and Henneberg, 2013; Berthaume et al., 2019).

Obviously actual research would have to be done to confirm or deny it in this case, and I probably should have stated my original thought a bit more skeptically.
