what is chelsea and the seven devils and where can i acquire such a thing?
-
It's a game.
I played some of it waaaay back - like 5 years ago. As in, the old japanese version with a fan translation patch.
-
/me bookmarks that.
this is getting added to my collection.
and then i'm tracking down the fan translation and playing that. because i find invariably the fan translation is better than the official translation.

Anybody who ever wondered why a post office is indicated on a map by a hunting horn.
(Or a Buddhist temple by a swastika.)
I can tell you about the Buddhist swastika. Long before Adolph Hitler perverted it, the swastika was a symbol of blessing and good fortune in Hinduism and Buddhism. When I visited the Ven. Nyanavimala Mahathera in Sri Lanka, I noticed the irony of the swastikas in the concrete molding of his monastery at the time. The reason this was ironic is that prior to WWII, he was a salesman in Sri Lanka. When the war broke out, he was put in an internment camp because he was German. It was there that he met the Ven. Nyanaponika Thera, a German monk, who inspired him to become a monk himself. [File under: More than he wanted to know.]

From my studies on the matter a few years ago, they are the same thing. Except, harakiri is the crude term for it, meaning "belly-slashing", and Seppuku is the proper term. Harakiri was the popular term in the west for several decades, but it was never used much by the Japanese.

And the post office symbol isn't a hunting horn.

The post horn is included in Unicode as U+1F4EF 📯 postal horn.
they'll put anything into unicode...

###'Congratulations, you're pregnant': What Egyptian drug test officials told male bus driver who tried to pass off his wife's urine as his own
-
So the question is, did that really happen?
Or did the DailyMail.co.uk find the World's Oldest Sitcom Joke and write an article about it happening someplace far enough away that readers are unlikely to double-check?
-
Not that it's likely any better but the BBC posted 2 days ago, DM article was today.
-
-
Heh...stalinchristmasspecial...
-
But it was pulled from somewhere else when the BBC repeated it (their "news from elsewhere" section is pulled from some other places). And the dailymail.co.uk credited them and where they had pulled from, so that was already shown. I think @blakeyrat was trying to ask if Al-Yawm al-Sabi (the originator) is a reliable news source, which I've no idea on.

I declare that it's credible enough for the Funny Stuff Thread.

Fair enough.

Discourse thinking that it doesn't suck.

This video is stupid funny. Definitely stoner-humor though, like everything in Adult Swim.
-
That was funny up until the 6 minute mark, then it started dragging for too long and became far too weird. Not the good kind of weird either.
But the ending starting at at 10:35 was good.

Javascript mosh pit:

This guy is having fun

They can get stuck both inside and outside at which point a more accurate thingy would switch their color after a bit. Still a fun little demo though.
-
Wow 100% CPU usage.

Yeah there's a big gap of dull between when the sitcom shit gets way too repetitive and the space show intro comes on.
-
How? JS isn't threaded... do you have only... one core?
Ew!
-
Okay, you got me, 25% CPU usage...100% CPU usage on one CPU so I was pedantically correct.
-
unless you have a 1 core CPU you're still not at 100%CPU because CPU core <> CPU
:-P
-
-
that's device drivers. they lies to you. open up the systems devices tab. about half of those "devices" will actually be either baked into your CPU or your northbridge. so not physically separate devices at all, it's an artifact of the times when they were in the 90s and windows deciding not to break what worked wehn they moved onchip in the oughts.
if you do the same thing in *nix you'll see it labels them as separate CPUs only if they are separate CPU dies (cause multisocket boards are a thing in the server world)
-
not physically separate devices at all
I was going to go all pedantic dickweed on how one decides whether different components on the same chip count as physically separate devices or not, but that's too much work.
-
You've also got to consider the case where there's several chips in the same package. (No idea if anyone does that with CPUs, but even so.)
-
I think Intel's first dual-core Pentium 4's were two chips in the same package. I don't know if anyone still does that though.
-
Mobile Haswell chips, including the new Core Ms have two physical chips on one circuit board.

Ugh. I hit ^V to paste the first link and then fat-fingered something along with it that put "*strong text*" right after the URL, and then ^Z undo wouldn't work--I had to select the text with the mouse and delete it manually. What's up with that, @codinghorror?
-
"strong text"
That came from hitting Ctrl+B. This doesn't get added to the action log because it's a Dicsourse action, which is why undo didn't work.

That's not discoverable, and it's stupid, too. Everything that guy does breaks the browser.
@codinghorror, you are why people can't be civilized.

Sometimes, Sheriff Joe is great. Most of the time, I wish he'd shut up since he costs the county so much money and often draws a lot of unneeded attention to Arizona.

Heh..."feminist" is on the list of words to ban from TIME magazine.
-
And it's got 46%. You know that that will be thrown out, like MoveOn did with their little video contest last month.
I voted "feminist" for solidarity but I wanted to vote for "bae". Anyone who says that should be punched in the upper flermin.
-
"bae"
I cannot say that I've ever heard that word before. TIME has fallen a lot farther than I realized if a lot of those words are currently showing up in articles.
-
I don't know if they use it. It's--if you didn't figure it out--a sort of contraction of "baby" as a term of endearment. Apparently it was popularized a few months ago by, I don't know, some rapper or something, and now all sorts of stupid people are using it.
-
It's a good way to tell if someone is a complete idiot, and not worth wasting time on.
