All 3 of the major Japanese manufacturers (Casio, Seiko, Citizen) have solar-powered radio sync models, but so far Casio is the best in my experience, and has the widest range of models. The Casios tend to have an auto-DST setting that relies on an internal calendar as well as the time signal. I have a chonky Seiko solar-atomic pilot's watch (with rotary slide-rule bezel!), but it doesn't have auto-DST so I have to bounce it back and forth between time zones. And it also doesn't seem to be as adept at receiving the WWVB signal as my Casios; it needs to be next to a window, while the Casios don't seem to care as long as there's not too much building mass to the east. I haven't had a chance to try a Citizen yet, but they now have solar-atomic moon-phase watches, which is tempting.

I hope Yud doesn't mind if I borrow Mr. Assi for my upcoming epic crossover fic, "Naruto and Batman Stop the Poo-Pocalypse"

Wait a minute, what do you mean, it's not supposed to be that kind of ass?

The man just can't get a normal hobby. We tried Labubus, but he just sat there sweating all over everything and ranting about how it's the inevitable scapegoat for the collapse of Western aesthetic sensibilities

All humanity has to do is scale up those Chinese battery-pack ejection systems for EVs that have been making the rounds lately, bing bong so simple

Props to Lemmy for doing... something... with the katakana URL. Was still able to follow the link on Safari.

Even as someone herding along a few perpetually-in-progress Gentoo setups, piping curl into sh to install random stuff staggers me. I don't see how this can be taken seriously; the software and the surrounding hype complex come off as a gimmick to catfish impressionable high-schoolers who don't know any better. After reading this, I can only imagine that Omarchy is most frequently distributed out of a shoddy panel van parked at a judicially-mandated distance outside of school zones. "Hey kid, want to try some Linux?"

Nitpicking, but at what point do we start calling it race pseudoscience? Letting the creeps have even a tiny bit of legitimacy is too much, especially as mainstream outfits are working overtime to legitimize them.

On the other hand, bombing foreign data centers, likely located in densely populated urban areas, would be justified and morally upstanding if it seems like they might be incarnating the imaginary computer god! I'm glad we have such a nuanced thinker guiding our modern morality.
