My mom's old cat died last night. Honestly, I had kind of expected it a year to the day after she had gone, but he held out a couple months longer. Over 15 years, total. And he was a little lover all the way to the end. Damnit, I'm gonna miss this cat. http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/875088

So I've been watching "The Family" on Netflix. It gets all chilling and spooky and feels like such a lifting of the veil, until I remember I've been watching this show in real-time for like 20 years now. It's more like a retrospective than a revelation.

@scribus That would change the world !
No wait. I think it might merely cause some people in the Vatican to take up meditating for once in their life and maybe spawn some extra statues. Pretty sure after that it is going to be business as usual.
Oh and maybe it will unlock new options for brothers and priests to do their hair, that would be neat.

And of course you can’t explain what Plan B is to a guy whose first language is not English without also explaining to him what leads up to having to take Plan B at 11PM in a grocery store with nobody else in it.

@mrmattimation I am sorry about your cunundrum but I know little to nothing about why it would be a hard topic in the USA, or even how professional a healthy worker-boss relationship even is over there.
-
@drinkingpony In the USA people won't even discuss with the person they're b-thumping.
-
@scribus If you can get ECP over the counter without prescription then SOMEONE is doing all the b-thumping.
All I'm saying is "what a strange country"

Ohkay could anyone explain what "Methane Hydrate" is to me ? It is probably important but my co-workers are not makeing any sense.
about 2 days ago from web-
@drinkingpony As far as I understand it's just ice (water) with methane embedded in it.
-
@adiwan That would only make sense if my co-workers are a bunch of doom-sayers about climate change and having Methane pockets release from the binds of either ice or water on the poles would trigger side-effects.
Actually, let me google that real quick
So they are actually on to something but they are acting like chickens that lost their heads and are acting like doomsayers... Great... I bet that I can toss a plastic straw in between them and see them melt down.
Good thing it is finally weekend for me.

@adiwan Is it Horror ?
-
@drinkingpony It has a few gruesome images but in no way glorifying. It is "real". I mean the pictures shown are mostly in photos that are in a file. The kind of photos the police has to make on a crime site. The kind of horror you derive from the abnormality of the views of the interviewed serial killers is on you. But for the most part it is not of the horror genre. It's a crime thriller on the surface.
-
@adiwan I'll put that sweet recommendation on the list then. That sounds cool :)

At work I'm implementing the interaction with a cordless screwdriver in VR (and with screws, screwdriver bits, and screw holes). I thought I'd be done in a week, however it takes longer than anticipated to make it versatile and not error prone and usable in VR and usable in code. It's the third week and it's not done. I'm about 70% done.

Ah, they're trying to resolve the Philadelphia shooter situation peacefully. Dude's white, isn't he?

@scribus the pessimist in me says that’s why, but the optimist in me says it’s because he didn’t actually kill anyone and it was probably more akin to a hostage situation than an actual shooting

So, does anime merit being considered a separate medium from animation, or is it a subschool of the larger medium? A genre of its own, maybe?
about 7 days ago from web-
@scribus I would consider anime a sub-medium. It’s obviously still animation, not broad enough to be considered separately from other animation in that regard, but it can’t be as narrowly defined as a genre either since it covers so many different moods and topics. It can’t be called a “style” either, because so much anime is stylistically distinct from each other. Some of them, I would argue, like Pokémon, are more similar to western cartoons than they are to other animes, and some western cartoons (Totally Spies, Code Lyoko, Wakfu) are more similar to anime than they are to other western cartoons, and some still are international productions (Miraculous Ladybug) which take after some elements of both. At the same time, even the most westernized of anime is distinct enough from western cartoons, culturally and stylistically, that you can’t say that the difference between The Simpsons and Venture Bros. is the same difference as the one between The Simpsons and Dragon Ball.
-
@mrmattimation Yeah, I was watching this Netflix thing (that ultimately shills their anime lineup) where they called it a "medium" and I was kinda uhhmmm....

Shower thought
What if I started my own country and printed some money, got some oversea's investors and try to run it the best I can for a couple months. Then instead of printing more money ( and causing inflation ) I would do the opposite. Unprint money, so that the value of the money I would have goes up EXTREMELY fast. Then go to Amazon.com and buy myself a 1 million dollar gift card.
Too bad that will never work. Amazon does not have 1 million dollar gift cards. I blame the Towel for ruining my plans yet again.
I would also upload a picture of someone but I am sure we all know who or what he looks likeabout 7 days ago from web-
