A squid fried this rice

This is Mandarin. 屌 (diao3) is the character that means “fucking (adj)” here. It is a swear in most of China, except Taiwan, where it typically means “good (adj)”.

In Cantonese, we instead use the character 撚 (pronounced like “lung” with an upward tone)

🍆💦 watering the plants

What kind of sicko try to find their repos from the recent list on the main page??

Nothing. I still buy most of my stuff physically

How big is your “planet”

I know this isn’t helping but your scale is saying “ok lol”

cuz you live in the west ;) if you mean online, cuz it’s made by the west

as a Hongkonger, almost all mythological references I see are Chinese

Interesting. I didn’t know the beta version exists. I’ll try it out later. Thanks!

I did try it. It doesn’t let me download the entire album though :<

I stream Splatoon 3 for 2 hours every day and I record higher quality VODs alongside. I keep a lot of the VODs in my storage.

I record at 1080p 60fps 9000kbps with H265. 2 hours of that takes up 8.8GB, for simplicity we will say it’s 9GB.

The 9000kbps is enough for a bitrate-heavy game like Splatoon 3, so I’d say 12000kbps is enough for you.

We can scale it up to your settings by (1440/1080)^2 * (165/60) * (12000/9000) = 6.52 (worst case, but H265 should reduce that a little bit). The scale factor mainly comes from the increased FPS and bitrate.

I’m currently looking at storing a year of footage in a 4TB HDD (9GB*365=3.3TB), so as an estimation, you need 7 of those.

There are better codecs though, such as AV1, but my GPU doesn’t support AV1 hardware encoding and software encoding would cause too much lag, so I didn’t use it.

Not sure if this fits your need, but if you just want to own the files, maybe try playing locally?

I don’t have an unlimited data plan, so I use “Gelli” which can download from Jellyfin and play them offline. However, it’s buggy and haven’t been updated in a while, so I’m planning on ditching that, and switch to locally storing the music files.

I found an Android music player named “Symphony”. It reads directories as album, as well as metadata. Importantly, it also saves the queue for me. I have a self-hosted Nextcloud so I can sync music to my phone. Symphony would read them from the directory.

… And super dry. No thank you

Is standing fan not good enough?

I imagined it in a cartoon-ish fashion, so I think I can actually draw it out.

• Red ball
• Male
• Like Google’s default profile picture, without facial features, except he’s in gray and has a neck
• My single hand can surround more than half of it in a cross section view, so about 12cm in diameter
• Rectangular table, about 5:2, I didn’t imagine the material, but it’s plain brown, so I guess wood?

Additionally, the ball rolls parallel to the long edge of the table, and falls off the short edge. The person also have legs.

I already had these in my mind before being asked.

Furrier transform

Not only that. They also censor illegal use of drugs, and therefore the first episode of Detective Conan gets funny.

Recall the scene where he got fed the drugs. Now imagine that tube of drugs pixelated.

No. 8 is just one of the signals. There are also no. 9 and no. 10. These signal are used based on the wind speed at HK instead of the storm itself.

For the actual strength of the typhoon, we just call them differently: https://www.hko.gov.hk/en/informtc/class.htm

Although I’d admit the current hurricane is actually stronger than a lot of typhoons: https://www.hko.gov.hk/en/informtc/historical_tc/metinfo_wind.htm

Hongkonger moment

I’m seeing so many posts about the hurricane meanwhile we get hit by multiple typhoons every year.

For our tropical cyclone hazard system, most people don’t have to work under typhoon warning signal no. 8, but only if it happens before you get to work.

There used to be a joke about “Lee’s Forcefield”, where the observatory would often NOT put up no. 8 until after the stock market starts for the day, meaning most people have to work.

Therefore yes, you’re going to work.
