        According to data taken from Steam, 35.03% of all gamers are using Simplified Chinese, while 31.17% are using English. These languages are followed by Russian with 8.49%, Spanish (Spain) with 3.86%, and Portuguese (Brazil) with 3.43%.

        How the hell are there more Russian users than Spanish?

        I guess American HispanicXals might opt for English but otherwise I would have thought there were way more Spanish speakers.

          Most Spanish speakers live in the third world thanks to colonial assholes.

                Well that’s that. Squirrels, mushrooms, bees. We’re no longer dominant

                      for now…

                      in a hundred years, there may not be enough of them left to for anyone to claim han ethnicity any longer. (if so, it would by no means be the first time in history, either.)

                        back in college days, i postulated that such could be done, only not with mushrooms, but with animals like insects, spiders, and birds.

                        my idea was to come up with mechanical/animal brain interface to control movement, using the particular attributes of certain animals to enable superior coordination for transportation. for instance, the coordination for 6,8, or more legs, or superior spatial awareness and balance to enable enhanced flight capabilities. control the animal, and thus control movement.

                              don’t see how they would stay alive without life support. also don’t see the benefit of imprinting anything on laminated slices of mouse brain either, or at all how it might work. psionics would be a very cool i/o twist though, should such a thing become possible (i’m betting it will… eventually).

                              my idea was to use living brains with their own programming intact, and then just add controls to guide them. if they are doing it with mushrooms, then how far off can animal control be?

                              peta would have a shit-fit though.

                                So, I haven’t really thought of buying a drone as decent ones have been pretty expensive, especially compared to how much I’d probably use one but this is probably the first to make me consider buying one:

                                I tested the DJI Neo and it's so good that all I can think about now is flying it

                                I tested the DJI Neo and it's so good that all I can think about now is flying it

                                DJI knocked it out of the park with the Neo

                                It’s Chinese spy drone, though, so there’s that.

                                  If you hear a sudden humming of rotors while you’re fapping, you could catch it and lock in a draw.

                                  Or get yourself a masturbation chamber like mine:

                                          Sounds like pilot error.

                                          Are you calling Tigger Lithu, or even Lithuesque?

                                            So, I haven’t really thought of buying a drone as decent ones have been pretty expensive, especially compared to how much I’d probably use one but this is probably the first to make me consider buying one:

                                            Sep 8, 2024

                                            I tested the DJI Neo and it's so good that all I can think about now is flying it

                                            I tested the DJI Neo and it's so good that all I can think about now is flying it

                                            DJI knocked it out of the park with the Neo

                                            It’s Chinese spy drone, though, so there’s that.

                                            We used a dji nano 2 I think to film over the sea and it just went in :/

                                            I understand there can be serious magnetic fields at play, I recall TOW missiles would go awry over water or other issues.

                                            Ahti and Wellamo don’t like their picture taken.
