End time zones. Instead of converting what time it is somewhere else, I’d rather convert what time dawn/mid-day/dusk is.

Wow, 18 years old. Born as a result of puppy milling, then put into a shelter after the mill was shut down. I would not expect a dog born in those circumstances to be as healthy as to live for that long. The owner obviously took very good care of them and I’m sure they lived a very happy life.

Recently, there came out a way of recompiling N64 games for PC without a decompilation and with mostly working results. It is technically possible to apply the hack patch and then recompile it for PC. I don’t know if there’s a way to apply HD texture packs on top of that though (edit: there seems to be in the video, but I haven’t looked into how).

Also watch the video on Team APS’s channel featuring Prof. They convert Yu-Gi-Oh cards into Magic cards.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding the “groundhogs day” power, but couldn’t you spend a year tracking winning lottery numbers, bets, and/or stocks and then “loop” that year and act on that knowledge in the repeat year? Then you would also essentially get +1 year of life and way more than $π million. I would also use the first loop to take medical tests of my health as much as possible since it wouldn’t matter if I went into debt in the first loop.

I guess the downside would be that any progress you’ve made on personal goals would have to be redone. Or maybe you don’t get to decide the starting point of when you would loop back to. Or just my luck, there would be some butterfly-effect shit and I would end up worse off in the repeat loop because my investments would have failed.

Oh wait does “groundhogs day for a full year” mean that you complete a year then at the end you start that year over? Or is it that you repeat the same single day 365 times? Because repeating the same single day wouldn’t give someone enough info to invest or win a lottery (they close sales more than a day before drawing winners). I’m not sure I could out-earn $π million in a single day even with 365 attempts and +3 charisma… unless it was some kind of criminal heist, but then it couldn’t be known if I would be caught on a later date.

It would do both with just one “groundhog year” pill. Live a year with my current wealth and use the experience of that year to plan out how to earn money when it repeats. At the same time I would use that first year to measure my health so that I could take precautions or act on all that accumulated knowledge when the year repeats. There would still be a second pill to choose, and I think I’d choose the +3 charm because I could also really use it.

But I don’t think this would work how I envisioned because I misunderstood the “groundhog” pill. I think it’s supposed to mean that you repeat the same day 365 times, which wouldn’t work for lottery/investing. So then I agree, taking the $π million and +3 charm is probably the best.

Mine is the tail plug, but UO is a strong second.

I was browsing for plug-ins and extensions and after I installed a bunch, it just appeared.

A human would probably be too heavy for a flock of seagulls to fly away with.

Perhaps too heavy for Herring Gulls, but they could be carried by Great Black-Backed Gulls.

Does it also detect when an extension developer makes a deal with the robot devil, or only when an ambidextrous developer swaps between their right-handed and left-handed mice?

All the patches for YT Music say they work on any version, so I’d just use the latest. I personally am using 6.21.51 simply because that was latest supported version when I patched and it hasn’t broken yet.

I’ll repatch with the latest version soon and update this comment with how that goes.

Update: I used YT Music 6.41.54 with Revanced Manager 18.0, applied all 12 patches and it works so far. I didn’t get ads or premium prompts, and was able to do background play. I couldn’t find the new codecs in the settings, the “compact header” is still there, and there is still a “Get Music Premium” option in the accounts menu.

Update 2:

YT-Music 6.41.54
Revanced Manager 18.0
Patches version 4.2.0
Un-rooted Google Pixel 4a (5G)
Stock Android 14

Patches confirmed working:

  • Background play
  • Exclusive audio playback
  • Music video ads (none so far)
  • Remove upgrade button in pivot bar
  • GmsCore support

Don’t work:

  • Codecs unlock
  • Compact header
  • Hide get premium (in account menu)

Unknown:

  • Bypass certificate checks (for Android Auto)
  • Minimized music playback on kids menu
  • Permanent repeat (didn’t test)
  • Permanent shuffle (didn’t test)

What games do you recommend for my girlfriend?

My girlfriend has never really gamed. But she’s now forced to move less than she would like to (health problem) and she’s getting bored. I was thinking of introducing her to a game or two that we could play together. She’s not the real action game type, and seeing as she has no experience with controller/mouse and keyboard...

Really pushing her into the deep end, sink-or-swim style. I just hope Pelican Town doesn’t chew her up and spit her out too hard.

I may be remembering this video essay from Shaun a little inaccurately, but I recall that Japan was preparing a surrender anyway, and was in talks with the USA, but the argument was whether the surrender would be unconditional or conditional (Japan wanted to keep the Emporer in power). The US was worried about an impending Soviet invasion of Japan because they didn’t want the Soviet Union to have influence in post-war negotiaions (i.e. landgrabs). The US didn’t want to send in troops for a land invasion, so they decided to hasten Japan’s surrender with the atomic bombings of major cities (terrorism tactics, in my opinion, just like the much deadlier firebombings).

Americans (including me) are commonly taught that the bombs were the only choice in order to prevent lost lives of American troops, but the impression I remember getting from the video is that (my opinion) there was never a risk of an American ground troop invasion, and not a risk of another Japanese attack. Japan would have either surrendered or been invaded by the Soviets.

The kicker is that Japan surrendered unconditionally to the US, but in the end, the US decided that the emporer should stay in power anyway, so those civilian deaths to the atomic bombs were always unnecessary.
