no multi option, agonize and choose, no results option, pick one to find out or scroll onward

the number of y'all in the notes mentioning how good the choices are/how hard it is to choose got me preening like "i am going to get a good grade in neurodivergent/disabled, a thing that is both normal to want and possible to achieve 😌"

Just checking.... We all pronounce Miette like My-TAY in our heads, right?

It's "mne-eeh-t." "Mne-eht" said with that soft tongue on the upper palette French sound or "mee-yet". I put the "n" because the pretty tongue roll on the "y" kinda sounds "n"-like to me.

I've been saying it Mee-yet in my head. Like the French word for "crumb."

If this is the real dub I am dying to know what she was cooking in Japanese.

This is indeed the real dub, I don’t know what specific items she was cooking in Japanese but I’m given to understand that it was all perfectly normal Japanese mom cuisine and it was just for the English dub that they decided there should be a running bit where Tai’s mom is a health nut who makes terrible food

The dubs of Digimon Adventure Seasons 1 and 2 are like bordering on just being abridged series, it’s wild

Apparently Izzy’s mother learned to cook entirely from B Dylan Hollis videos

Back when I worked for a travel company this would happen all the time. Trust me, we only remembered the people who yelled at us. A polite “Thanks, you too” didn’t even register.

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

edit: after having posted this i found a tweet from ut austin's newspaper saying a second person has been arrested.

close to 50 people were arrested today by fascist APD and state troopers. this was supposed to be a peaceful protest with teach-ins, pizza, and study sessions. DPS almost immediately began cordoning, harassing, and arresting students and community members. this bail fund was set up by austin's palestine solidarity committee. from the river to the sea, palestine will be free! 🇵🇸

the Columbia University arrests are worse than they seem. They're arresting protesting students for trespassing. It goes without saying students cannot meaningfully "trespass" in the common areas of a university they attend. So Columbia University has suspended all student protestors from their institution, in the process revoking their access to housing, their belonging, and most crucially damaging their academic futures. We are witnessing full scale silencing and removal of anyone of conscience from the next generation of academia.

beyond that the columbia common is literally an open space during the day; the gates are open and it's possible to pass through it like you'd pass through a regular block. even after my student ID expired i was still able to walk through the commons bc ID is not requested until you enter an actual building. it's quite common to see parents, toddlers, and such who are clearly not enrolled just hanging out. so not only were the students not trespassing at a SCHOOL THEY PAY FOR, there was also not a precedent for non-students to be disallowed from the grass and walkways.

sooo funny to see older kh fandom posts as someone who started playing kh in like 2020 I feel like a historian. Seeing a stolen art piece on Pinterest and going “from the watermark and artstyle I can understand this is a post-BBS pre-DDD era depiction of blorbus and bingus, however, some remnants of binguses KH2 fanon depiction are still prevelant here (more specifically, the depiction of him popularized by bingus/gronku, a heavily popular pairing at the time), and the complete absence of krinko from the supposed ‘group’ shot implies some distaste for her, which was not uncommon for the time period. From this we can assume that the artists was a bingus X gronku shipper who likely transitioned to blorbus X bingus after BBS or Days, and dislikes krinko due to an era-typical misinterpretation of events. Elementary.”
