The trick is that you also have to follow rules 1 and 2

“Don’t be the reason why there are so few women in this field” is good advice for a great many hobbies and jobs

Can any ladies weigh in on that? Is astronomy that sexy? I’m gonna start leaning into that when I talk to people

And the third choice would have to be “I’m fine with either”

Citation sorely needed

That’s not a citation silly, that’s a downvote. Don’t get mad at me because there aren’t actually any TVs doing this

Over the years, I’ve tried three different times to fix the backlights on three different TVs. At this point, I understand that a failed backlight is a failed TV

Not to jump to the defense of the cheapest Chinese manufacturer, but my parents’ TCL TV has survived for like 6 years

Day 1,826 of telling people they can buy a smart TV and just not connect it to the internet

You don’t need to spend $700 on a TV that doesn’t connect to the internet

Carbon? In my carrots? HELL no

For 6 bucks? I can goon with a spoon for free lmao

I have in the past, but at this point I need my money more than they do, and even if I get a job where it becomes financially possible to donate, there are other organizations that need it more than Wikipedia

Huh. I didn’t really think through what the tone would actually be, I just assumed it was the same as Tokyo’s power grid. I put on a sample of the power grid noise from the show, and held my headphones up to my phone’s mic to get a peek at the spectrogram:

Buncha spikes at every multiple of 120, fading out around 1560hz

Interesting note, the very faint lone 120hz spike is just the ambient noise of my room, when I’m not holding my headphones up to the mic. New canon fact: SEL takes place in an alternate timeline where Tokyo (if not all of Eastern Japan) got 60hz power

50hz 120hz is such a soothing tone

Between original Pokemon, shinies, regional versions, and weird upgrades like gigantamax or whatever

You never know, they might bring it back permanently if they see their playerbase quintuple overnight

Ah shit, guess I’m getting back into overwatch

Imagine one of your brain cells trying to gain a leadership position by promising to make your body jump off the next cliff you see

Some of them are extremely similar, but there were over 3,000 existing Pokemon designs as of Palworld’s release. It would be a statistical wonder if none of them looked similar, especially when our criteria can be as loose as “fire fox” and “Anubis”

at least make an attempt to understand it lol

That’s what I’m trying to do, and the best you can manage to explain to me is “actually you’re wrong.” You have time to type out three paragraphs, but not enough time to explain that the patents the page links to, despite being apparently (as far as I can discern) filed with the Japanese patent office, are not Japanese patents?

I admit I don’t really know what I’m talking about. The patent system is obtuse and virtually impossible to understand. But as far as I can tell, the patents referred to by the article are patents that were filed with the Japanese office. Can you explain what I’m getting wrong?

You quite literally linked info showing the dates of the US patents that are after the release of palworld.

I’m aware of that. The person you were responding to said “Look at the actual patents, though. They list 2021 as the application date in Japan.” Do you want to explain why the website apparently shows an initial application date of 2021 in Japan? Maybe the google patents page is misleading. Maybe it’s showing a related but not equivalent patent.

I really don’t care about the process or validity of suing, nor do I care about the actual application date. I just want to know why it looks a lot like the patents the site links to are Japanese patents, and you’re insisting that they’re not.
