I would post stuff, but everything I want to post comes from here. Oh well, comments are enough for me.

Ah, karoshi. Death by overwork. As much as I like a lot of Japanese culture, it can't be said not to have its issues.

So, regarding D. Gray-man. Not a single frame was drawn in the 19th century.

I especially like how the second half of "What, you egg" is "young fry of treachery!"

I still like Andromeda, but yeah, EA fucked it. Particularly by making them use an engine with a) no support for proper RPG elements, and b) trouble handling larhe maps. For the most open-world game in an RPG series, that's pretty much the worst decision a publisher could make on behalf of the developers.

I'm mostly distressed that of all the anime girls in the world, not only did he pick one from the show filled with depression and fuelled by depression - he picked the wrong one.

Reminds me of something a YouTuber said during an LP of Until Dawn, in an early episode when Emily and Jess are being terrible people at each other:
"There was more drama in those 12 seconds than I've had in my entire life."

In particular, the graphs combined with the relatively understandable refuges of the abstract and the results should give you a clearer and more trustworthy picture than any news story or webcomic page written by a guy who knows lots about a few narrow fields can.

You make a fair point on the emotional side of the argument, but after taking a look at the papers the data gained from the climate reconstructions all has an uncertainty of +- 1.5 degrees Celsius or less. Meaning that, yes, the hypothetical 20kBC thermometer is accurate to within 5 degrees.
We can't go back in time to measure the temperature, so we'll never have the precision that we could have for the temperature today. This I won't and can't deny. However, these reconstructions are based off of reliable mathematical models and would never have been used to even try this if the scientists behind the papers didn't have enough reliable data to use the model to calculate a result with reasonable accuracy and precision.
Also, best way to avoid those biased graphs (which I will admit the one I showed is towards the end, but it's the best understandable example of the point that I have) is to go to the papers themselves, see if you can understand what they have there.

Of course scientists don't agree with each other exactly; if they did we'd finish science, and that's not the point of science. Science is about growing your understanding, and the disagreements grow from that. They're not about if climate change is real; they're about how much of it is from natural cycles, how much we've fucked it up, how fucked we are and how soon the human race will be completely fucked over if nothing is done.
And for any who use the "it's happened before" line in reference to natural heating and cooling of the Earth, I'd invite you to look at this timeline: https://xkcd.com/1732/
You don't even need to read all of it, just scroll and watch the line. But do slow down near the end.

There is precisely one TV or monitor in my house that has HDMI ports, which is a bit of an issue when it comes to wanting to get stuff to use with said TVs and monitors.

In Australia it's just a daily occurrence, thanks to the wildlife, so we don't bother with mentioning it specifically on Christmas.

Had a few days with it before my family left for our grandparents' farm, and I can't wait to go home today. Still struggling to learn how to properly do the Geralt Dance, but it's great.

Hooray for living in Australia, with few enough states, and big enough states, to make this impossible.

That's a little more than making your nose slightly smaller and less bulbous.

There's a reason base leather armour just adds 1 to a D&D character's base AC, but allows for the full Dexterity modifier to be added and doesn't give disadvantage on stealth rolls, unlike chainmail or heavier armours.

Always hated this, though I've only had to deal with it over Skype, Discord and the like. Very rarely get actual texts from people.
