Smash Mouth's 'All Star' translated to Aramaic and back becomes 'beautiful poetry' | Newshub

There was one who said unto me that the universe was going to cause me to tremble, That I am not the sharpest cutting implement in the storehouse. She had the appearance unto me as a stupid one, With her finger and her thumb In the frame of a Greek gamma upon her forehead.

Behold, the years begin coming, and do not cease from coming. Fed unto the axioms, and I fell upon the earth and ran. It was not acceptable if not to live for the sake of pleasurable things. Your brain increases its wisdom, but your heart increases its stupidity. A great amount to do, a great amount to see, Therefore, there is no difficult problem if we take the streets of the backside. You will not know if you do not go. You will not shine if you do not glow.

Behold currently! You are entirely a star child! Begin your power! Go! Laugh! Behold currently! You are a master of the music! Begin your singing! Acquire your wages! All that sparkles is gold! Comets alone shatter the frame!

Leaked Nijisanji Contract Reveals The Truth… | EX-Nijisanji Talent Speaks Out - YouTube

Notes on the Niji contract stream : Nijisanji

Archived in case it gets removed (as /r/Nijisanji has corpo mods)

Nijisanji does not guarantee that livers make any money at all. Niji doesn't guarantee anything at all, really. Notably, it's the livers responsibility to know if any given thing is legal, to deal with copyright strikes, or to deal with disputes with vendors or artists. Niji specifically limits any amount they will pay to the liver for breach of contract on their side to the money the talent made in the previous 6 months, even in cases where Nijisanji has been intentionally or grossly negligent. However, if a liver causes any amount of (monetary) damage to Nijisanji, they need to repay that in full.

The Theory of Interstellar Trade

This paper extends interplanetary trade theory to an interstellar setting. It is chiefly concerned with the following question: How should interest charges on goods in transit be computed when the goods travel at close to the speed of light? This is a problem because the time taken in transit will appear less to an observer travelling with the goods than to a stationary observer. A solution is derived from economic theory, and two useless but true theorems are proved.

While most of Paul Krugman's works are nonsense, at least this is entertaining nonsense!

It should be noted that, while the subject of this paper is silly, the analysis actually does make sense. This paper, then, is a serious analysis of a ridiculous subject, which is of course the opposite of what is usual in economics.

D&D will move to Creative Commons license, requests feedback on new OGL - Polygon

Why this is a continued load of bullshit:

• The core mechanics don't get any IP protection so putting them under CC does nothing.
  • NB: The particular phrasing used in the SRD or the D&D books does get copyright protection, but only so far as there are more than one way to express any particular mechanic. Things like formulas, or statements that can only be written in a single way, are not protected.
• There's a morality clause, which even if it wasn't a loophole for WotC / Hasbro to abuse, is still woke SJW nonsense.
• Clause 3(a) says no injunctive relief if WotC rips off your materials and puts them in their own stuff. Unlikely this would hold up in court, which just makes it even more of a dick move.

Lots of great discussion about this over on Slashdot (some juicy comments linked below).

The D&D World Is On Fire Right Now, And Wizards Of The Coast Can Only Blame Itself - GameSpot

D&D brand owner Wizards of the Coast has done nearly all it can to incense and repulse the players and partners that support it

As a hobby, tabletop games have a relatively low cost of entry--all you need is a handful of dice, a few shared books, and your imagination. In fact, you might say it's one of the hobby's best attributes. Wizards of the Coast seemingly wants to create a future for D&D where you pay expensive subscription fees for resources and services that other games offer for free, from character sheets to its own proprietary virtual tabletop software.

Our “L” robot is an automatic bell peppers harvesting system. Our proprietary AI algorithm, utilizing a combination of different types of cameras, enables the robot to identify and pick harvest-ready peppers with millimeter precision through layered leaves. It patrols farms daily to monitor crops’ growth, providing farmers with advice on optimal farm management. L makes farming more effective and efficient while reducing human capital and labor needs. “L” works with any existing farm layout without modifications. This, coupled with the lightweight edge computing that keeps the system’s price down, makes AI harvesting more accessible to farmers.
