Monkey Raptor V.2

This is hilarious. I'm on Windows 11, I use Microsoft Clipchamp often to edit videos. There's this quirk since last week or so. This is how big the application upon starting a new session: It gets smaller each time. 🤣 It's fine, since the maximise button can still be clicked until it can't. 😂 This is utterly comical. Somewhere in the development room: Bob : Done, mate. All unit tests passed. Merged to staging. Gary: : (Sipping coconut tree.) Well? Ship it, then. Bob : Where's James? Don't we need his QA brilliance? Gary: : (Sipping coconut...

I was on YouTube. This film was featured on my homepage. The title caught me off guard. The Transposition First of all, it's: Shaolin vs Ninja But then... On Startpage... Oi, let's swap things around, nobody would notice. Propaply because no proper "American Shaolin", only "American Ninja" — thus the reflex-swap. 🤷‍♂️ American Shaolin. 🤔 It sounds like "Zen with shotguns" or "igloo skyscraper". Or perhaps IMDb did: arrayOfWordsInTitle.sort() You see, "N" is before "S" in alphabet . Let's try that: title = "Shaolin vs. Ninja"; title.split(" ").sort().join(" "); // Ninja Shaolin vs. // ⬆️ See? Almost. The machine hath spoken. 👑 The Title Right. Let's continue. The title is bloody abstract. Shaolin? Which part? The entire institution? The whole temple complex? Every monk ...

There was that telly show, Street Hawk (1985). The theme music is grand — "Le Parc" by Tangerine Dream . The Intro He was a motorcycle cop, injured. Now, he's riding a more deadly motorcycle. A top secret government mission to ride... Street Hawk. ... designed to fight urban crime. Capable of an incredible speed up to 300 miles an hour. 🤨 And a Minsk firepower. 🤔 (PVCs tumble. The wall loses them. Plung. Dung. Tung. One rolls. Clonk. ) The Guest Star I ride a motorbike. If I rode a papaya plant, then I wouldn't ride the bike. It's either the plant or the bike. Officer Jesse Mach, the main lad, rode a motorcycle with a jet engine shoved inside. Jet. Engine. The phrase "motorcycle with a jet engine" should raise instant alarms, like shouting "flamethrower in a nursery" or "chainsaw ballet". Let's see here: Motorcycle ➡️ Two wheels. Balances by physics, gyroscopic motion, and rider finesse. Je...

I played offence here in 3 minutes Super Blitz on Lichess as Anonymous. The board looked like it was littered with landmines of ?! and ?? . The battle roar should sound: Mistake, inaccuracy, mistake. Forward! It ended with a checkmate. I did that checkmate. If it were the opposite side, well, it would like plunging myself into a carburettor. Usually, I can't fit... in. Physics. 🤷 You can use your left and right arrows on your keyboard or use the mouse scroll to see the moves back and forth on the chessboard. But first, click the board.

Listen on YouTube Music As if your bones heard something familiar from before you were even born. That song is from the Amis (阿美族) people of Taiwan. 老人飲酒歌 or Elders Drinking Song is a traditional Amis chant, famously performed by Difang (郭英男) and Igay (郭秀珠) who were Amis from the Maran (馬蘭社) settlement. The vocals were lifted straight from a 1988 recording of Difang and Igay singing during a French government-backed ethnomusicology project — meant for research. With EMI as the outsourced vault. EMI (Electric and Musical Industries), a commercial British label. Because even "non-commercial" academic recordings were often pressed to vinyl/CD by big labels, just for reach or preservation. EMI probably saw it as just another folk catalogue item. The original singers never expected their voices to hit global charts — through Enigma. Enigma is a German musical project founded in 1990 by Michael Cretu. They were under Virgin Records. Aside f...

I was watching a gameplay of METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER on YouTube by MKIceAndFire . I "read" that, handketchup , in the inventory. I thought, oh, that's probably just a condiment for his ration. What I'm saying is, there's "snake eater" bit in it — ketchup for eating a roasted snake, juicy rat, tingly spider, Russian false mango, and goblin perhaps? 🤔 Hm, all right. It would mask the uncharted taste. Never mind the possibility of poison — looks edible, ketchup. Russian false mango is fictional. It's like Saharan false snow. But, handketchup? Is it like hand grenade? One word? Really? So, squirt squirt to the face? Oi you! You enemy, aye? (Squirts ketchup from the handketchup to the face. The opposite side's face. Not his own face. 🤦) ... opposite side's ... 🤔 It's possessive, but it's abstract. It's got that unhingedness to it. Who refers to a person or group as "the opposite side" in casual speec...

Good day! This bug specifically in Windows 11 — on laptops with AMD processors, I noticed. The Issue On Windows 11 laptops with AMD processors, the Wi-Fi adapter sometimes suddenly reports No Wi-Fi networks available — even though the router and ISP are fine, and phones connect normally. Trigger Often happens right after an ISP (Internet Service Provider) hiccup, a brief disconnection, or when waking from sleep. Instead of reconnecting, the adapter seems to freeze and stops detecting SSIDs (Service Set Identifiers) entirely. Cause It's a quirk of Windows 11 combined with AMD-platform Wi-Fi chipsets (often MediaTek or Realtek). The adapter gets stuck in a bad state, so Windows thinks no wireless networks exist. Workaround Instead of installing "latest" drivers and getting confused, we can do this: Check the router first — use your phone to confirm other devices can see/connect to Wi-Fi. Shut down the laptop. Bloody remove (unplug) all the peri...

A very good day to you. 🎩 Straight to business, then. On Windows 11, the path for Notepad tab state is: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsNotepad_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\TabState Close the Notepad first. ➡️ Delete all .bin files inside that folder. ➡️ Open again Notepad. No, it won't break the Notepad. Promise. We can set Notepad's start-up option to Open in a new window (instead of "Open in a new tab") after that, optionally. Click the top-right gear icon in Notepad, and we would see this: Through Script We can do it from PowerShell: $folder="$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsNotepad_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\TabState"; if(Test-Path $folder){Remove-Item "$folder\*" -Force} Or CMD (Command Prompt): set folder=%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsNotepad_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\TabState && if exist "%folder%" del /q "%folder%\*" Background I was helping a friend to ...

Good day. OpenAI released the latest models: GPT-5 and GPT-5 Thinking . I usually on GPT-4o for casual banters about anything. Most of the idle times, about films and telly shows I watched randomly. For instance, this was one of my observations. 😂 Why did people in a jungle expedition (in those shows) wear tank tops knowing they'd be, at least, in a jungle? Shouldn't safety be the first consideration? Not that we can't wear tank tops in the jungle. But when the story is about gigantic venomous, aggressive spider, reptile, other muppets — it means safety is numero uno. Not one of them brought pesticide, none. Lalala, let's stroll around here, let the wind carries us away. Even one can of Raid in any horror would do justice. Ghost! Spray. Man-eating men! Spray. The darkness! Spray. Flying frying pan! Well, spray then duck, or duck then spray. At least, I'd expect, once they met the beasts along the way, ran away in panic — oh hey, let's not go ther...
