vtubing...is an extension of idol culture
This is the best answer, although someone unfamiliar with idols might not understand what it means.
Idols often play a character or persona in a more sanitized and scripted way vs. what you'd get from a regular streamer or entertainer. The very nature of vtubing is wearing an anime avatar, so it perfectly lends itself to idol culture and the expected facade. Add the anime aspect and some voice acting, and you have the perfect storm to bridge the gap between idols and existing anime fans.
Vtubing has become too broad to make sweeping generalization, but Hololive at least is essentially an idol organization. Maybe they're not everyone's cup of tea, but they uphold very high standards compared to your average Twitch streamer.
This is an issue for both AMD and Intel. To summarize it, there used to be a lot of headroom left in processors for safety and efficiency. Why gain an extra 5% of performance if it costs 30% more power (and heat) and doubles the failure rate? But in today's world, both AMD and Intel need every last drop of performance to show continued improvement and out-sell each other. On top of that, motherboard manufacturers are incentivized to do the same thing, so they push voltage (power) even further, right out of the box. Combined, this causes modern processors to balance on a knife-edge between maximum performance and failure.
In AMD's case, processors were overvolting so severely that they damaged the socket. For Intel, they also overvolted their processors, but to a slightly lesser degree that causes permanent damage (erosion) ultimately resulting in failure.
If you buy current hardware, the safe bet is to adjust the voltage and other settings yourself. I have an Intel 13900k myself (paired with an RTX 4090 too), but I have both undervolted from their factory settings. Because we live in a backwards world, reducing power from the factory settings actually results in better performance than the average for my hardware.
This right here. Without going into explicit detail, I was part of a case against the federal government thrown out because there wasn't standing yet (even though the negative impact, or harm, was imminent, it hadn't happened yet). After the government took final action and there was clear harm with no further recourse, it was thrown out again for Cheveron deference (the court has to defer to the federal agency that wronged you because they're the "experts," and of course the agency you're suing is going to say they're right).
It's next to impossible to sue the government, because you need to carefully stand up dominos to make the perfect case, and then have pockets deep enough to roll the dice on taking the case all the way.

If you want the actual data it was approved on, go here: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/daf/index.cfm. Look under "Approval Date(s) and History, Letters, Labels, Reviews for NDA XXXXXX" and click on the "Review" link for the original submission. That will take you to the full approval package, where you can review the original efficacy and safety data.
Wasn't this always the case for most DMM content? I used to play KanColle at release, over a decade ago, and even then you needed a VPN to play. The workarounds always involved grabbing page-specific links, particularly your unique API link for the game window, which would expire after a set amount of time and require you hop on the VPN again.
That's not at all the same. This sentence is a demonstration of criminal accountability, where the government is forcibly punishing the parents using the judicial system. Your example is one of material accountability, where the parents are freely choosing to buy something to replace what their kid broke.
Yeah, people begged for DoA Xtreme 3 to be released in the West, but it was explicitly cancelled because of censors here:
"It's due to cultural differences. The West has its own thinking about how to depict women in games media which is different from Japan."
As for the "lack of censorship," that game even has a pole dance mechanism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS-nU62TK18
My favorite NES co-op game is Jackal. For a good versus NES game, North and South.
For arcade/MAME, The Simpsons is a solid co-op classic.
Seems extremely similar to when Quidditch had a brief surge in popularity years ago, with everyone running around on brooms: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkMJzJVLRFw
Copying this from the other site:
No, they didn't.
In the ruling on the 11th, Chief Judge Yukihiko Imazaki of the Third Petty Court of the Supreme Court said, "Employees are forced to use the men's restroom that is different from their self-identified gender, or the women's restroom away from their workplace. They are being disadvantaged accordingly," he said.
They said they can't say "It's ok to use the Womens bathroom on the other side of the building, but not the one nearest to you." Which is fair, it's all or nothing, and should be up to the individual business to decide. But you can't pick and choose.
Full page screenshot functionality is built into most browsers; you don't need any extra extensions, tools, or software.
For example, if you're using Chrome or a Chromium-based browser, just open the developer tools (F12). Press CTRL+SHIFT+P to open the run command window. Start typing "screenshot" and click "Capture full size screenshot" when you see it in the search results. That's it, the full page screenshot is now in your downloads folder.
This is ancient history. Not last week's news, but last decade's news.
This article is wrong. I have no idea why this story is gaining traction again (it originally circulated back in September 2022), but changes have been made since then that make this news inaccurate.
In short, back in April, the anonymity issue was addressed through the deletion of private information from files made available for download by the Japanese Tax Office. This includes name and address, meaning taxpayers will no longer be easily unmasked or identified. The original source is here: https://www.invoice-kohyo.nta.go.jp/news/r04/r04news04.html
It's amusing that very little of we watched overlapped. For a few you didn't cover:
-
Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia : AOTS in my opinion. It's comfy, pure, and emotive in way that not many modern titles are. Astrophotography is already a relaxed topic (and it's covered properly too), but combined with insomnia and young romance, it really hits all the nostalgia and slice of life buttons. If you enjoy the slice of life genre even a little bit, don't miss this.
-
iDOLM@STER U149 : If you watch this, you probably already know what you're getting into. It's solidly done and exactly what you expect, with an episode for each girl. There are only references to other portions of the iDOLMA@STER franchise, so you can jump right in without having watched or played anything else if U149 interests you.
-
Watashi no Yuri wa Oshigoto desu! : A surprise standout and really entertaining if you like drama and are okay with yuri undertones. It might look like yuri GochiUsa on the surface, but it's much more drama-laden and often darker, but still with comedic segments. The contrasting elements, conflicts, and character development all work to make it a very engaging watch.
-
Edomae Elf : Just an okay slice of life, nothing overly special or exciting. The running gags can get old, and slice of life aspect isn't enough to make up for the lack of plot development. It's still entertaining if you like this sort of anime, but it's seasonal fluff.
Also, Megumin's KonoSuba is a bit disappointing, although at least it picks up in the second half. It doesn't really live up to the main series without the rest of the cast to balance things out, and Megumin's village in particular is somewhat stifling.
Not anymore. FAA's new drone regulations are aiming to reclaim what used to be private airspace.
Want to fly a 1lb foam hobby RC plane over your own property? Previously, you just could, and no one cared so long as you didn't interfere with full-size aircraft. Today? Illegal if you don't pay FAA for a license to fly your toy. And next year? Illegal if you don't also install an ID module in your 1lb toy plane, which must broadcast your GPS location while it flies, along with other telemetry data (unencrypted, for the purpose of law enforcement locating the pilot).
The purpose of the restrictions on what used to be toys is to allow law enforcement and certain companies to fly right over your property without restriction. It's also really disheartening for the few people left in the hobby, because the ID module law is about to kill off what's left of the community.
I think one of the best examples of this sort of innovation remains Quake's fast inverse square root: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_inverse_square_root#Overview_of_the_code

Your title isn't accurate, and doesn't represent why people are so upset over this.
the owner cooked it
A third party slaughtered the goat, it wasn't the owner. The owner was the state senator, who bought the goat at the fair auction.
The first problem is the fair interfering with the transaction. The buyer and seller agreed to send the goat to a sanctuary, and the fair still got their $63 cut. But the fair refused to allow this agreement, and decided neither buyer nor seller gets to keep the goat. Instead, the fair gets to take it back, plus their $63 cut (on a $902 sale). This is why lawyers are involved. The goat did not belong to the fair anymore.
The second problem is the police aspect, which was already mentioned in this thread. The police were sent 500 miles away to retrieve the goat (remember the last time they did this for your stolen property?). They were given a warrant to use breaching equipment and open locked containers, like this was a drug bust. And the police immediately sent the goat to the third party for slaughter, which is not how property disputes are handled. The property is supposed to be held until the rightful owner is determined.
But, instead of recognizing the legal and enforcement cynicism this story represents, you reduced it to another "Karen" story.
and following her.
Did we watch the same video? Exact quote, "and he immediately started going in the other direction."

Etsy must have thousands of sellers, if not tens of thousands
Etsy has millions of active sellers:
In 2021, roughly 7.5 million sellers sold goods through the Etsy platform, up from approximately 4.4 million active sellers in the previous year. By comparison, there were over 96 million active Etsy buyers worldwide.
A very important caveat: this isn't a real campaign ad.
