      My VCR actually rewinds tapes in literally a twentieth of the time that the separate rewinder did.

       

      It's only purpose was to reduce the demand on my VCR motors, to help assuage the fears that they will blow out without me being able to repair them and I will have to swap out to the next VCR/DVD combo player in the pile.

  3. Merry Christmas!

  7. Waiting 20 minutes so that your virtual Windows 95 machine can install a game at an era realistic time, when all that is really happening is that files already on my hard drive are moving to somewhere else on it, is something that causes me to question what I'm doing with my life.

      Waiting half an hour and manually changing discs four times to install KOTOR while poring over the box and manual.

      Downloading it in 5 minutes on gog/steam doesn't feel quite the same.

      Reading the manual for a game several times before playing it because you didn't have enough time to install it (or worse, you needed to wait for an upgrade to be able to play it) is a magical experience that can't really be replicated in the modern world.

      Manuals were so cool. I only was around for the tail end of them but even the Halo 1 manual had all this cool lore and weapon and enemy descriptions that I would come back to and read and reread.

       

      Now you just get a single printed page with a QR code telling you to install Origin or something

  9. Came back home late at night and thought that someone dumped a bunch of garbage on my driveway since as I was pulling up I could see four lumps.  As I got closer it became apparent that these were rabbits and they were strangely hesitant to get out of the way of my car (I only slowly pulled up to not hit any.)  Eventually they did get out of the way, but even when they bounded off they didn't just get out of the drive way immediately but rather bounced around in a circle for a few seconds first.

     

    I feel like I've crossed the rabbit mafia or had the curse of El-ahrairah placed upon me or something.

      You'd be surprised how little survival instinct rabbits have. I've come close to hitting so many just in train yards alone.

  10. Today I learned that one possible output for "neko" in the microsoft JP IME is =^_^=. This is apparently due to 2chan users adding it to their personal IME and widely distributing the files.

     

    You can also use "ai" to get ぁぃ(。・ω・。)ノ and other variations, "ase" to get (-_-;) among others, warau for ((´∀`))ケラケラ etc.

     

    I feel like I've just broken a secret code or something.

      On one hand, hey I can finally get some of those weird emoji really easily (;゚Д゚)

       

      On the other hand, wow that is pretty wacky

      You can also use it to get emojis, which is where I found this out from (though emojis are banned on SPUF for some reason.)  Sometimes you get characters that aren't technically emojis like ☆ from "hoshi", ♪ from "ongaku," or ♀ from "mesu."

       

      But man when looking into this I have found a bunch of weird stuff.  Here's some websites archiving and giving tips for kaomoji use:

       

      https://kaomojinavi.net/index.htm

      https://kaomoji.ru/en/

      http://www.nekoguchi.com/2007/10/24/japanese_emoticons/comment-page-2/ (unfortunately the kaomoji dictionary links are broken)

      https://nihonshock.com/2010/04/12-japanese-ime-tips/

       

      I also discovered that the emoji feature in Windows 10+ also has a kaomoji page.  (Access by WIN + ;)   Though I think the IME option is better once you know what words correspond to which kaomoji.

      a small addition: I was pleasantly surprised to see that typing "nya" has one of the predictions "nyanpasu." it's not too surprising if it really was copied from 2ch users but still fun

       

      That last link blew my mind with the "type english sentence by starting with a capital letter" though, that's a genius feature

      Next you're going to tell me Caramelldansen isn't Japanese.

      Nope, you're safe.  That one is in Japanese:

       

       

      Spoiler

      The best part of this is that it's not an actual translation but the Japanese animutation style phonetic lyrics.  For example, the first line is: オナラでリードをトラップ, which is suffice to say, nothing like what the Swedish opening line means.

      I really thought "You're gonna go far kid" was just an MLP fandom song when I first heard the sped up version.

      I had heard the Offspring version before I heard variations, but I've now listened to the eurobeat version so many times that the normal version now feels off tempo to me especially in the chorus. I also expect an extended instrumental section after the first chorus.

  14. I was trolling around Facebook marketplace and it seems I found a table from the exact same maker of this one 40-year old wicker table I own. It's pretty crazy, the wicker construction looks identical.

      The wicker table industry is stagnating...

      I've heard you can just download models and load them into a 3d wicker nowadays, technology has really gone too far
