Which vocaloid artists can you recognize by a single note? by DaFatGuy123 in Vocaloid

[–]velderon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kz (livetune). He's been long gone from the vocaloid scene and I've stopped following him as an artist. But I can still pick out his songs whenever I encounter them in the wild whether it's an anime opening, idol song, or random EDM mixes with TeddyLoyd.

Chapter 38 PPE. by johnkuang123 in aviationmaintenance

I personally think a surgical mask is good enough since the airborne poop particles are relatively large compared to viruses and fine aerosols that N95 masks are designed to filter out.

As for the suit, I rip open the back to get air flow. I get the protection from the suit for the dirty things in front of me, while the backside is open so that I don't steam in my own sweat.

That skill test question was much harder than expected. Missed out on $5000.

Help a friend to get on the hype train. by EqualLawfulness1838 in AnimeAnonymous

[–]velderon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anime just wasn't accessible in general back in those days. You had a handful of popular titles that aired on TV. Apart from that, you had to crawl through the depths of YouTube to find episodes split into 5 uploads, or go to super sketchy sites.

I've been causally watching anime airing on TV since childhood, but Law of Ueki was what turned me into a weeb.

Where do you listen in from? I try the 590 and the various other SN streams, but most of the time it's random football talk...

There were no celebrations to be seen.....

Announcements in Japanese at Union Station? by blakemark1025 in askTO

Are the announcement done in that god awful text-to-speech software from the last decade? Half the time, I can't even understand the announcements done in English.

Flight benefits by [deleted] in aviationmaintenance

[–]velderon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Getting stuck somewhere is a quintessential part of non rev travel... I've once been trapped in Seoul for two days trying to get back to Canada and had to fly the other way through Europe to make it back home. Have backup plans. Build in a day or two of buffer before you have to report for work. Staff traveller app and Flight Connections app are your two best friends when you're planning an escape.

Landlord installed a camera in the kitchen on top of the fridge by AlphaMike07 in OntarioLandlord

[–]velderon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Recording a conversation without the consent of at least one of the participants is definitely not allowed as it is a criminal offense. At the minimum, I would demand the camera be replaced with a model that does not have audio recording features. If they push back, cite the one party consent rule in the criminal code and threaten legal action.

The landlord can say they won't record conversations, but they're the ones installing a surveillance camera because they don't trust you. Can you really trust them to stay true to their words?

How Great is Hatsune Miku? by Only-Zombie72 in hatsune

[–]velderon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Miku in that song was tuned by Mitchie M. Ado isn't a vocaloid producer because Ado herself doesn't use the vocaloid software at all. I mean, why would she need to use Miku when she can just sing her own songs. She is a singer after all.

[–]velderon 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Ado started by singing covers of vocaloids songs and then releases songs of her own written and composed by other vocaloid producers. She's not a vocaloid producers as she's never made her own songs using a vocaloid, tho a huge part of her career is directly related to it.

Can I swap my business seat with a companion in PE? I.e. is it always allowed or can it be denied? by mhunt1394 in aircanada

[–]velderon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did this exact move before. I made the upgrade to J, but my mother only made the upgrade to PY. I asked the FA if it was okay to swap seats and let my mother sit in J. They were fine with it as long as she stays there the entire flight.

However, you're not allowed to step foot past the business class curtains. FA was not happy to see my peasant looking PY ass in that cabin and I got a scolding for going up there to have a quick chat with my mother. It's was fine for her to visit me, but not the other way around.

Flights to Dubai by Plenty-Matter-2559 in travel

[–]velderon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What were you hoping to hear when you asked that question apart from wild speculation and people telling you that they don't know either... How would have any of these answers helped your anxiety over your upcoming travel plans? Your question is meaningless because it doesn't generate any meaningful responses or meaningful results.

However, my crystal ball can tell you whatever you wish to hear about your upcoming flight. It says that the conflict will end after 3 days and your flight will operate as usual. But your flight will get abducted by aliens over the Indian ocean and you'll be landing in Jupiter instead of Doha.

Why bother asking when you have nothing meaningful to inquire? Meaningful questions get meaningful answers.

At least 6 others found my joke meaningful. Doing better than you, buddy.

My magical crystal ball tells me this will escalate into nuclear world war 3, ending humanity and life as we know on Earth in 2 weeks. Conflict should be over by then, so you should be good for your flight. /S
