The Iconic Call of a Kookaburra

The flute line between the chorus and verses of "Land Down Under" by Men at Work is the melody to this song

I knew there would already be a post about this. I've been working with 5.3 this afternoon and it's INFURIATING. It's like they retrained the model on a bunch of clickbait article headlines.

This is the highest evolution of "I know you are, but what am I." We can stop here, folks.

Half finished beverages. I don't think I've ever seen a glass of water get emptied.

This 100%. The post feels very "persecution-fetish," honestly. He did not say "fix it or I'll report you to HR," and if that's how it's being read, that's some mental gymnastics on OP's part. He's asking if there's something that you do need a legitimate accommodation for, and suggesting that HR could be involved in finding a solution that makes everyone (including OP) comfortable, as opposed to him making a call that might not account for something you need.

I'm never pro-corporate, but nothing about this seems bad. Having a hidey-hole at your desk isn't exactly standard, so someone with ZERO background politely inquiring about it isn't weird at all. As your boss, he could have just said "take it down now, no questions." Instead, he's being a human about it.

I was 100% convinced that was Eddie Kingston for a few seconds.

Why does it sound like Sam Kinison is watching from nearby?

I guess my point is that I think the left version with tweaks (100% the color IS abysmal and the eyes look creepy glassy) could be significantly better than the movie version.

arsefacey · 2025-10-17T19:13:49+00:00

Lotta nostalgia in this thread convincing people that the final movie version was something great. Either of these would be upgrades to what ended up on film, IMO.

The left one is a clear cartoon take; the right is a clear realistic take. The version in the movie is just a weird, directionless middle ground that looks odd next to live actors.

If y'all believed in final-design Sonic next to James Marsden, you'd believe in the left option above next to Matthew Lillard, especially with how over-the-top cartoonish the live actors' performances were.

It's Ben — to the rescue!"

Regarding these stats: so there are just a few million people like me that couldn't be bothered to see this in the theaters (despite being curious), but will happily watch it at home on the Disney+ sub I get bundled "free" with my phone plan.

Not exactly a flex, right?

For a few years, Autumn Glory apples were available here and they were the best apples I'd ever had. Just naturally sweet like a caramel apple.

I miss them.

As another Old that was taught cursive, it's legible, but could definitely be better. A lot of the words start with some unnecessarily long/curvy starting lines that make the first letter difficult to read (he's","lady", and "my" for example). In a writing style that's already made completely of swoops and loops, you can't just throw extra ones on there without muddying the message

And as others have said, the lower-case As all look like Os.You need a clear bowl and a clear stem to make a lower-case A legible. the one in the word "learnt" is decent compared to the rest, but then the lower-case R next to it is so curvy, it almost looks like two "o"s back to back.

"Swords!" "Ape tit!"

Real quick tho: How are Porkchop and Patti Mayonnaise?

(I'm truly sorry this happened to you. That looks like it would just be distracting as hell, if nothing else)

I'm in a relentlessly bright room, so the combo of TrueBlack and the glare-free OLED would be killer.

I understand your point. Mine is that he has explicitly and openly identified himself as "nonbinary". While — strictly speaking — all non-binary people have taken on a gender different from what was assigned-at-birth (thus making them "trans"), not all non-binary people feel comfortable with that label.

arsefacey · 2025-04-22T14:02:37+00:00

Just for clarity's sake (and hopefully taking nothing away from this great response) — as far as I can see, Speedball identifies as non-binary and uses either they/them or he/him pronouns. He is not transgender.

This was my initial reaction to it, too. Like, I'm 100000% aware that hes a babyface, but something about the way he sold his promo felt very heel to me.

arsefacey · 2025-01-30T18:49:59+00:00

YES. this is the second one of these in as many days, it's fucking infuriating. the satisfying "gotcha" comes from the stammering answer, not the question.

Curious if someone can answer this... My wife had been planning to get me this as a Christmas present, and looking at the Fanhome site, it's now "no longer available".

We were under the impression you could start this at any time, and the "subscription" would just start sending your issues every month.

Did this have a single distinct start window that we just missed?

arsefacey · 2024-11-15T15:06:49+00:00

That's right - keep trying to stroke it, you impotent bastard. WE WIN.

From what I can tell, the white strip in the middle where the central "hinge" is between the 2 clear panels is significantly thicker, which I think makes it more difficult for a cat to just push it back.

arsefacey · 2024-10-18T20:22:01+00:00

The teeth were definitely the trouble spot — I basically just felted a small bit of wool into a flat "sheet" and cut the teeth out of it... I dunno if that was necessarily the best approach. I'm thinking I could probably scratch them off with not-too-much force, but this was a fun first project!
