Oh wow get proper fucked everybody involved in this AI translation shit.

And everybody investing 29.2億円 in one company that's supposed to be doing this, that's insane. What the absolute hell?

I am reading through The Dresden Files RPG and it is truly impressive how much @evilhat ‘s thinking about FATE as well as how to create worlds and tell stories with RPGs has evolved since then.

A huge aspect of this is that they have clearly developed a better understanding of the people who play games like these, and how to guide them through collaborative play and worldbuilding.

Does anyone know of a Year Zero Engine based game (or something similar) that uses a Doom Pool?

The mechanic I had was too... "doomy". I'd rather borrow from something that works than try and reinvent this wheel.

In my バタバタ state of rushing to work I left my bento on the rack of the Yamanote. The new wasuremono chat service is super useful though. Hope i can find my sammich and pickles....🙏

The translation police will also be called if you translate 5以上 as “greater than 5” or “>5”

got my yearly health check this friday (健康診断 けんこうしんだん)

I need to remember to do my poo samples for the poo test they'll do (検便検査 けんべんけんさ)

便 べん means poo/feces/stool
検査 けんさ test
検 けん by itself means test, so you could read 検便検査 as poo test test if you were being pedantic

for the linux nerds out there 大便 だいべん (daiben, also meaning feces) is close in pronunciation to a certain large distribution that I've heard it's the unofficial name in some quarters

Omg this revised paper has like 200 words of new editing and 4000 words of previously edited mostly unchanged text….so no biggie —very smol job in terms of amount of work and revenue. But, the job folder has 21 files in it 😩

This is because the journal has them spilt the manuscript into parts and each part has a comparison to show the client’s revision. 😮‍💨

My email address is (first name initial)(last name) at gmail. I’m sometimes getting emails that are sent to (my first name initial).(my last name) at gmail. How is this possible?

Not to go there, but Portland’s biggest issue tonight may not be the ice storm coming, but rather than tourist in pearl district who just cleared a 4 day gastrointestinal stalling in one sitting. Apologies to the local services.

Also, sad I missed Tina fey and Amy pohler by around an hour downtown yesterday.

Reflecting on 2023, it has six divisors (1, 7, 17, 119, 289)

Looking ahead to 2024, it has sixteen (1 , 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 23, 44, 46, 88, 92, 184, 253, 506, 1012, 2024)

So we have that to look forward to :fingerguns:

Another new word of the day: a "prodrug" isn't a professional drug, it's a compound that is biologically by itself, but is converted in the body into a pharmacologically active drug

Get that up ya!

Kid was soooo sick this morning.

So home office with 4yo around.

Who seems way too active and energetic for a sick kid.

How many of you post on multiple instances? I set up a backup hci.social account for UX posts - I’m on famichiki because of my ongoing post-JET connection to, and love for, Japan - and sometimes I wonder if I should post separately and cross-boost…but, so much extra work.

Question: Is there any app or website where you can enter #Italian words and then it pronounces the word for you?

I'm still early in my efforts to learn the language, and I feel I should put in some efforts to get this part right so that I don't pick up any bad habits.

I hate receiving and having to send the Slack message “I sent you an email” 😮‍💨

my September income (= translation sales) was a bit over half of August income

but that came with me:

• taking it easy for a couple of days after the summer heat (also read as me playing Baldur's Gate 3)
• looking after the family after partner got covid around Sep 12
• looking after youngest who got hand/foot/mouth disease and was mostly eating pudding and yogurt for a few days due to a mouth sore

so, pretty decent all-in-all. Partner also doing better 3 weeks later.
