Here's something I didn't know was a thing: here in Gifu yesterday, at the Memorial Center complex downtown, they had a polling place open for the Brazilian presidential election. There are *that* many Brazilian nationals in this pref.

I ordered a replacement 3A power supply for a Raspberry PI 4b because it was constantly crashing due to undervoltage. I ordered it on Amazon.co.jp this morning at 7:55 am. It arrived at my door at 2:52 pm, which has to be some kind of a record.

Harry Potter universe headcanon: They're witches and wizards but they celebrate holidays like Christmas and Easter. Jesus performed miracles like feeding the multitudes, healing the sick, walking on water, etc. Was Jesus, in fact, a wizard who went rogue and outed himself to help muggles?

My mother worked at IBM, so it meant we got first crack at the new IBM PC 5150 when it first came out. 16KB RAM and no graphics capability at all because Mom used it for word processing only.

As someone who's lived here for over three decades, I will point out that summers in Japan have *always* been raging steam locomotive fires, every single year. What's changed is, people are finally realizing that it's not particularly noble or smart to just stand there and take it.

Dear imgur.com, You arbitrarily changed my password because of a "security breach" and then refused to let me recover it because the email I associated with the account no longer exists, and refused to let me change the email. I thus lost 15 years of images. Fuck you up the dickhole.

The honorific is a bit incongruous. Ditch the "Mr. President", and say "you fatass child-fucking baboon?" like a proper professional journalist.

I'm going to be at the Tokyo Ham (radio, not food) Fair at the Ariake GYM-EX hall tomorrow (one of the few times this year I have even left Gifu) so if any of you're a ham and you are there and you see a pudgy guy in an Orioles hat, give me a holler.

We hear a lot of shit about people for using AI at work because they're "lazy". How about the people who have mountains of tasks and unrealistic deadlines, and have to resort to AI assistance just to keep their heads above water because they get no human help anymore? Huh? How about them?

I'm the kind of person who has always wondered how Claude would react to a vile, profanity-laced tirade of verbal abuse, but has never tried it because I could never do such a thing to anyone, even a robot. I wasn't raised like that.
