DrNotLikeUs gets his shit rocked, ya love to see it.

Have you heard of the sociological concept of the third place? One can absolutely have their human contact in places that aren’t home and work.

Do love me some annoying wordplay, like the Chinese poem Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den

TTS is text to speech, OBS is a type of streaming software. If you’ve seen a live stream of someone playing a game odds are good they use OBS to do it.

The rest is more particular nerd stuff.

Ive got a tts thing i use on twitch and i think im going to try and puzzle out why its so iffy. Feel like its an obs thing thats causing it, so maybe changing the method I use might resolve it but I’m not 100%

obs uses audio capture from edge (to animate a sprite) that i run the tts through, but its not consistently catching it because the audio capture it uses doesnt just catch edge.exe, which would work, but edge.exe with a particular title, which gets iffy. I might change from using edge to using speakerbot, though that would limit my tts voices a fair amount.

Here is the one I got my nephew and niece. They must’ve realized nostalgia folks ain’t fuckin’ with this nonsense, which is absolutely fair.

On one hand great, on the other, has the “Confirm you’re an adult” prompt ever stopped a curious young man who just learned the word, “boobs” from viewing adult imagery?

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. Actually just the art alone does the traumatizing really.

I just got the graphic novel for my ten year old niece. She likes the bunnies. I am a great uncle.

What an absolute child. I’d have left something electronic and spendy in the bag just to get them on criminal charges. FAFO

Keep meaning to go on the tour of the Shanghai Tunnels but then forget about it. Also Mills End Park, could prob do both in one day tbh.

As a huge Dynasty Warriors and Three Kingdoms fan (I own a copy thats 2400 pages!) I’d go with you… but there’s the whole issue of the Pacific Ocean being in the way.

Baseball

Situational on region.

I’d rather have any other season personally. You can bundle up in autumn and winter, spring is fine generally. Summer if it gets too hot you can only take off so many clothes before you either run out, or the police get called.

“So guys getting blown up in trenches in Ukraine by drones? Ha, totally not age-restricted,” the creator said. “ Me firing a 3D printed pink glock that I made? Age-restricted. We don’t need kids watching that. We want kids watching people getting blown up by mines. Love it. Awesome.”

Guys missing the corpo bottom line.

Gun manufacturers have gotten sued by families of school shooting victims. Youtube runs the risk of getting dragged into court because little Billy sees the 3D printed pink glock, decides that he can make that, that its time to fuck up some bullies, and then after that those bullies parents shoot lawyers in every direction (which includes Youtube, even if the odds of getting anything are minimal) like mushroom spores. That risk assessment doesn’t exist for Ukraine war vids.

The trick is to call everyone boss, then you don’t need to remember their name.

this reminds me of a story about someone who couldn’t talk but they had to scream, i think it was called, “the guy who stubbed his toe in the library”

“Imagine if every time your car broke down, the only option you had for repair was the dealer. That’s not a world any of us want to live in,” said Sen. Jeff Bridges, a Democrat who is one of the bill’s sponsors, at an earlier committee hearing.

About that…

The law also excludes motor vehicles, but independent mechanics and car owners already have similar rights under a 2014 memorandum of understanding

Not sure if a “memorandum of understanding” has the same legal force behind it the bill does. Hope so.
