What is Hackers' Pub?

Have you ever seen the granulate shellback crab (Hypoconcha arcuata)? Growing about 0.6 in (1.4 cm) long, this unusual-looking crustacean inhabits coastlines along parts of the western Atlantic, with a range that includes parts of the United States, Mexico, and Brazil. Unlike hermit crabs—which hide inside their chosen shells—this critter uses its posterior legs to secure shells onto its back, often shouldering pieces larger than its own body, as a defense against foes.

🦩Did you know? A flock of flamingos is called a flamboyance—and it’s easy to see why! With their bright pink feathers, long legs, and graceful necks, these colorful birds command attention wherever they go.

There are six species of flamingo worldwide. They are highly social creatures and often gather in large numbers. The largest flamingo colony in the world can be found in Tanzania, where more than 2 million birds have been observed at one time.

唯人はなさけあれ。夢の夢の夢の。昨日はけふのいにしへ。けふは明日のむかし。

[Tada hito wa nasake are. Yume no yume no yume no. Kinō wa kyō no inishie. Kyō wa asu no mukashi.]

People should simply have compassion. (Because this world is) like a dream, like a dream, like a dream. Yesterday is a bygone for today. Today is a past for tomorrow.

From 閑吟集[Kangin-shū], Collection of ballads compiled in the Muromachi period (1336 or 1392-1573)

コントローラポートだけでメモカとしても振る舞えそうな雰囲気は感じる、PS2はメモカアクセス時にもコントローラポートへ0x81アクセスが来なかったから、多分無理

中國禁止赴日旅遊的效果是顯著、全面而且快速的。連鋼彈模型都會認同這句話。

這週福岡鋼彈基地舉辦新模型活動,參加資格要抽選,12點開放入場,通常這種狀況,即便你12點入場,現場的新貨也會被掃掉大半:在一般客人進場前的廠商時間,就會有「中國廠商」掃貨回家轉賣,而許多排在最早入場的客人也是中國轉賣仔。

我親眼目睹過,幾月前我從新千歲回國,那時在threads抱怨台灣都沒有GQuuuuuuX可買的我,去新千歲基地看看,竟然有紅鋼彈等機體。但是,進入基地要掃臉與刷護照等麻煩手續,我問店員為何如此陣仗,他就說是為了防堵轉賣客重複入店掃貨。

而十多分鐘後,我在店內就看到被禁止購買許多模型的中國人吵起來——是的,他們還會當場開吵。

感謝中國禁止,這種影響是顯著全面與快速的,無論你組不組模型。

I decided to stop supporting Duolingo this year, after they tripled down on using artificial intelligence and replace the talented humans who used to build for teaching. I let my paid membership lapse, but continued to use the "free" version (recognizing the advertisements still drove $$$ to the company).

But, I had a goal in mind. Breaking with Duolingo is as easy as 1234. I've done my last lesson.
