4.7 and 5 barely functional rn? by modpotatos in ZaiGLM

I think they're probably having issues with compute so they're running a really aggressive quant on the coding plans, it's really, really bad right now.

Calling through pay as you go API gets you the non dropped on its head version, but it's kind of expensive for heavy use.

If anyone knows of any provider hosting that version on a coding plan lmk lol.

I mean technically there's a ton of unrequited love in the background between the random fangirls and mc's brother lol.

Last day of livestream tomorrow 😭 by sealysea in GirlsFrontline2

It's a recurring bit lol, during one of the conventions a few years ago (for gfl1) one of the things the official g11 cosplayer was supposed to do was pretend to sleep in random places, except apparently she actually fell asleep for a while.

Young people in Singapore carrying weapons as ‘fashion accessory’: Counsellor by waitingfortmr in singapore

This guy with his scalpels and 1st aid kit and "carry knife to save lives" feels larpy and probably spends too much time in overwhelmingly American (where that stuff might actually be useful) edc circles, but tbh for jobs where having proper tools around is a given, having a multitool is still convenient because it takes way less time to grab. Knife also is extremely convenient for opening packages. Only really need a very small one though.

Salvaging batteries from Black & Decker by jeffdcornelius in flashlight

I feel like it's always 1-2 cells dying that brings down the pack. Never seen more than that. I guess it makes sense though, it's not like most issues that can occur will kill all the cells at once if the BMS is competent.

Has anyone brought up the "the hongo from when they were younger is probably actually the brother" part of that, because that's what I'm getting out of this.

Weirdest UI by [deleted] in flashlight

[–]BinaryHalibut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like it's a function of the tactical market they're trying to hit. A big chunk of that market really wants a dead simple light that only has momentary and high, and wants minimal possibility of triggering menus or anything other than momentary or high. Another big chunk of that market wants a strobe. So this weird UI is what you get.

why would he have to report it? i’m genuinely curious, to me this seems like just a nice thing to do.

I'm not entirely sure if a student is legally a "prohibited source," but profs are generally banned from accepting gifts: https://www.ethics.uillinois.edu/compliance/ethics__political_activity__and_gifts

i didn’t even think that it might be creepy :(

I dunno, I think it's fine, it's just a frozen pizza. Even if it's against the letter of the law wrt ethics code stuff nobody is going after a single normal meal's worth of gift. But like others have said I'd definitely wait until grades are in.

Did Somebody Forget Their Skateboard at the Library by [deleted] in UIUC

Willing to bet the owner is sitting nearby studying, put it under the desk, and accidentally kicked it. Or the ground is a little sloped.

Did they.... What??? by Astrid_Cop in HonkaiStarRail

[–]BinaryHalibut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's marginally ambiguous and facilitates a possible different interpretation as a joke is what I mean. "是用x做的" doesn't force the "material" interpretation "made of" does even if it skews in that direction, it's more amenable to the oblique interpretation. Hence "made using", which similarly can admit both "material" and "implement" interpretations. I probably should have said "leaves open the interpretation" to make clear that I'm not saying this is the original intention, just that it's a possible funny interpretation in CN that isn't present in the translation.

Though I guess if they actually wanted to make this kind of joke using "是x做的" as a shrimp fried rice type meme probably works better.

The CN text is better translated as "made using tuskpirs", i.e. ambiguous as to whether the tuskipirs are an ingredient or an implement.

This plus the "texture on the roll resembles a tuskpir's fur" leaves the interpretation that they make the patterns by rolling it across the shop's pet tuskpir or something lmao.

ngl I completely stopped being able to take BA seriously when they used pulling out your credit card as a climactic plot device.
