Euler’s Disc, along with the most solid glass mirror you can find.

Somebody call Randall Munroe.

Now I want a “what if?” on this. I would love to see all the g-forces and wind resistance and other details of how to survive with a big ramp.

If you get the torrent from a site using HTTPS and get the data only from encrypted peers is it even possible to tell what people are downloading?

I think it’s neat that in a lot of these “penis stuck in thing” cases where bloodflow makes removal difficult a doctor can usually just show the patient the massive needle they will have to insert to remove excess blood and the sight alone usually “solves” the problem.

I was a new JET Programme participant located in rural Japan. The CIR variety, so I knew a good bit of Japanese and was there to teach and write about US culture, history, food, etc.

The local dialect was pretty difficult to understand however, and I was constantly asking what words meant. One day my coworker used an expression beginning with “o”, which is a common honorific prefix, and wanting to basically say “o - what?” I clearly proclaimed “onani?” in the middle of the board of education office. More than one person stifled a laugh and my coworker almost did a spit take.

It wasn’t until much later that I learned “onani” is masturbation in Japanese, based on the English term onanism, which I also didn’t know at the time. So I basically failed hard in both languages that day.

Flashbacks to reading the Guinness Book of World Records in elementary school.

The MIT page containing the report has disappeared and it isn’t archived on wayback. Anyone know where we can read it?

Poor VR support. I’d probably switch if it ever becomes stable.

I think kaomoji have been a thing in Japan even before unicode was invented. The Japanese encodings and IME (input method esitors) allowed them to type a wide variety of characters, punctuation and symbols that aren’t available in most western encodings, so I feel like the Japanese folks had a head start on creative use of typography.

For example, if you want an eyeball you can just type “do” (degrees), and the IME will pull up °, and “omega” gives you ω, so it’s pretty easy to make (°ω°).

I don’t know what technically constitutes the most troublesome username, but surely some of the kaomoji Japanese folks have come up with are up there. Good luck trying to type these.

I think the first person to use an obfuscated name like lIiḷ|ḷiIl was pretty clever.

Smullyan would be proud.

Thank you for introducing me to Your Name. I just finished watching it. Absolutely wonderful film.

I love the intro explaining that sweet spot between something you are interested in and something everyone is talking about. Great video!

They should have sent a poet.

Dragostea Din Tei by O-Zone, though I think I heard it on NicoNico Douga before it became known as the NumaNuma Song.

Came here to say this. If you haven’t heard this remix yet do check it out!

Lots of folks saying “why don’t you just dry and put your dishes away?” but I have this exact model and use it mainly for storage. Zero cabinet space in my tiny kitchen. With this I can actually own enough plates and bowls to feed guests!

I’m so used to seeing difficult to read text in captchas that my brain didn’t even register the giant “79” at first and started with the squished characters. Guys, I think my model is overfitted…
