I asked my Japanese girlfriend what she thought about the stuffed toy: "It would not sell. It is not cute enough, and it is way too big."
I also expected her to say it is way too big. Space is so scarce in Japan. It is mostly mountains.
yes your girlfriend is cute, but the Japanese are the world experts on making cute stuffed animals.
Is it mostly men on Mastodon in Japan?
I do want you to make money.
Beatrice โTillyโ Shilling was born in 1909 in Hampshire. She became an aeronautical engineer & daredevil motorcycle racer.
In 1936, Shilling joined The Royal Aircraft Establishment. 5 yrs later, she led a team that designed a device to prevent Merlin plane engines from stalling during flight, which helped the Allies win WWII.
Shilling was also the 2nd woman to earn a Brooklands Gold Star for lapping the track at >100mph. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatriโฆ #science #history

March Update: Making waves
Long awaited community update is here! Introducing PineVox and bone conduction headset (help us find a name!), IronOS progress, PineNote insights, and PineTime news! We also cover cluster failure, state of services, and the future of the community upโฆpine64.org
Bone conducting headphones, eh?
Was originally going to say PineVibe, but a couple of people got to that name before me. It's honestly a good name.
Since that's taken, how about PineBand, PineBeats, PineBuzz, PinePulse, or PineRezzin (resin/resonant).
Bonus: PineChime would be a good name for a doorbell cam.

Using Lemmy since the reddit blackout, quite a nice place.
When the blackout began, it wasn't quite ready: the servers couldn't handle the load (not only because of the hardware, but also because of Lemmy itself), moderation tools wasn't good. But the situation improved a lot since then.

Latest comic: Electric vehicles gone wrong
I'm fine with the soft, whirring spaceship sounds that some EVs emit as a safety feature to alert people that they're moving. The new Dodge Charger EV comes with a deafening 126 dB roar, which is just plain obnoxious.
#cars #ev #evs #transportation #gender #marketing
WTF? However marketing asshole who came to with that idea should be suedโฆ
126 dB is well above the danger threshold. People are not supposed to be exposed to 90-100 dB without par protectionโฆ
Or even 85 dB, actually, if it's long exposureโฆ
USA: We make stupid ginourmous electric cars with fake engine sound at 126 dB.
France: We make anti-protesters grenades that produce a 165 dB blast to equip far-right-voting brailess militarized cops.

@popey Having certain people around will drive some other people away, kicking them out will drive yet other people away. You can not welcome everybody equally, so you need to pick and choose which people you want your project to be associated with.
The problem starts when kicked people raise a stink about you elsewhere on a new channel to a new audience. You can not reach that audience yourself with your normal channels, so you feel the need to answer on that new channel ๐

The story I'm interested in too @Muse!
What I can see is the warning advice, "Caution" as in ็ถๅฟ dang1xin1, and ไปฐ yang3 "to look up, admire, face upward" (used as an adverb here) and ็ฌ xiao4 to laugh.
The literal meaning is a warning that is a little surprising, content wise. Those birds it warns against must be frequent heavy sh*tters!
Where the belly comes in, unsure. Sure with that the translator vividly illustrates the sign's iconography! Colourfully adequate choices if you ask me. ๐)
The characters are traditional Mandarin, so the guess is the photo is from Taiwan, Singapore or, dunno, Malaysia?

Ch2: Examination of the California Ideology, its "politics of no politics", frontierism and homesteading logic, and "faithless religion of exit." Stands to reason the tech does not teach political skills. Contrasts with homeplaces, Politics of everyday life, consensus building and basically microsolidarity.

HOLY MACKEREL I just howled laughing. Y'all sometimes it is a pure blast to be old.
'Researchers have discovered a new way to hack AI assistants that uses a surprisingly old-school method: ASCII art. It turns out that chat-based large language models such as GPT-4 get so distracted trying to process these representations that they forget to enforce rules blocking harmful responses, such as those providing instructions for building bombs.'
