Mostly Firefox, but evidently it's run or owned or whatever by an AI bro now, so.. now's as good a time as any to find a new one. Brave seems to show some promise. Heard nice things about I think Waterfox.

Bumping because been getting awful load times and timeout errors all day. At first I thought it was just work wifi somehow trying to block access or something. But no, even at home nothing wants to load at all.

Careful with that thing. A boombox is not a toy.

I still use mine, but I'm trying to get away from it. My big problem is finding anything that can replicate a feature of itunes that I use extensively. In iTunes, I have the option/capability of telling it custom start and stop times for every track. An absolute blessing for trimming out excess silence, live audience clapping, intros, etc etc. And when I move that music to the ipod, it remembers those settings. I've since found MusicBee, capable of the same settings, and just generally seems a nicer music library tool... but putting that music on my phone (android) won't actually remember those settings (although I think I might be able to force it by having it essentially create a new file with the truncated times.. maybe). Still using an ipod touch that's kinda coming apart at the seams (poor repair job). And I went out and bought a backup that's still new in box when I heard they were discontinued. But, if I can ever find a way to get my mobile music library to work how I want, I'll finally be free of it.

Might be some/all AI... might be at least actual music.. suspect the art is AI at the least. Lyrics might be generated or translated poorly.. But still fun.

Dang, Batmetal got caught anyway.. oh well The juxtaposition between visuals and vocals, the genre shift, great stuff. And honestly a solid cover.

I'm glad I'm part of this community that's all going to hell for the exact same reasons... It took a significant amount of willpower to not start off with "Hermes better have those alphabet blocks locked down tight." But then.. it got me thinking about all the ways Futurama actually could've made more little references to the impacts of global warming. I mean, yeah, not really the message they were going for or anything. But, thinking about the song, and how Hermes said "there was a foot and a half of water." But as we're seeing rising sea level, warming oceans, stronger storms, they definitely could've pumped those numbers up. More on topic and relevant to my interests, this feels like it's sure to be awful for the coral reefs there. They're not in the greatest shape as is due to warming and all, and I know it struggled mightily to recover after the last major hurricanes decades ago. And, landwise, the region I had seen is... definitely not structurally prepared to handle anything like this..

..Prolly shouldn't make light of this, cuz it's sure to be horrifically catastrophic. (bonus: can't wait to hear about all the aid we're not sending.. better get those paper towels ready to throw...) This monster has been edging the whole Caribbean for a few days now, just hanging out and building up. It's looking like it's picked a course now. Predictions of 20-30+ inches of rain for most of the island. Possibly up to 13 feet of storm surge for the SE. (image is a day old, much closer now, landfall expected today)

Not really sure it holds up these days, even despite the high (at the time) production value, but it's wild how well remembered this one is.

Only just managed to get caught up (didn't realize Toonami would be rolling right into season 3 immediately), and, I'm just gonna call this out. I don't think the mother truly earned her redemption in the end. Sure, final act of self sacrifice is great and all. But, narratively, it lacked sufficient justification.The last we had seen of her, prior to possession, she literally had just told her kids to their faces that she wished she never had them (or whatever exact wording). And yeah, sure, we know that was largely by the influence of her lover.. but she was still full of conviction when she said it, and it tracked with her vanity/conceitedness and generally regarding him higher than her own kids. These are all pieces that fit together with what was presented. So, where's the exposition for what caused the change of heart from "I hate you" to "You're my treasure"? Where was any display of remorse for her words? Where was any acknowledgement of the harm she caused in the way she treated her daughters? I ain't saying any of it is fake.. just, writing clearly chose to gloss over all that to get straight to emotional impact. But, I think, on analysis, it leaves her looking a bit undeserving of the forgiveness.

This doesn't qualify as weird, but I needed somewhere to stash it. This is a reupload to avoid any age restriction nonsense Batman set to Dethklok. Animated in Flash. And damn does it genuinely look great. Also is just nice to take me back to the days of Metalocalypse in its prime.

From my last purchase, the important part I remembered, basically just stay away from anything "flagship." The mainline stuff, the things everybody knows because they're the only ones to get all the ad space and shit. For galaxy, that'd be the S series. The number of people that will actually ever utilize the top-of-the-line models to their fullest potential is probably triple digits or less. I personally like hitting up mid-range models, the A series. Some hardware compromises you'll probably never even notice, saves big money. Then I think there's some region specific lines you wouldn't need to worry about.

Followed up by some weird in the weird way. Seriously.. this one hurt my brain. This was a "that's enough internet" moment. I thought it was, like, a weeb parody band or something?? But, near as I can tell, they maybe actually are in Japan.. and judging by comments, clearly have a Japanese audience.. but listening to them utterly failing, and I mean not even trying to sound remotely Japanese is a mind break.
