the site in question, if you want to see the weird vendetta this random person has against some other random person and the company they work for: https://www.ysutopia.net/index.php?pid=4

well this is... bizarre. I tried to find information on an obscure falcom game called "typing of ys", a typing tutor style thing based on falcom's ys series, and... the only information i could really find is some fan's page that goes into what it is and then slowly devolves into ranting about and making accusations of all kinds of horrible stuff at this one guy he doesn't like who works for xseed, the company that localized a lot of falcom games

wanna cuddle fluffy friends...

pretty sure that's in violation of even the few right-to-repair laws we have over here

oh, no, not replacing the battery, "disposing of" the battery

it warns you that opening it to remove the battery will destroy it and void your warranty, and that you can't reassemble it
-F

we had to get a new electric toothbrush because ours broke, and the instructions in this one show how to replace the battery... except they tell you to wear eye protection and gloves while doing so

i get that lithium-ion batteries can be dangerous but really?

this is particularly striking when you realize that almost all numbers are normal (a fact which can and has been proven)

that is, if you were to choose a number at random from a number line, the probability that it would be a normal number is 1
-F

fun fact: it's remarkably hard to prove that a number is normal

it's strongly suspected that a lot of constants like e and π are normal but this has not been proven

in fact, the only numbers known to be normal are the numbers explicitly constructed to be normal

random thought: can you substitute tums for sidewalk chalk

this feels Weird to us because we know they had pasta, apparently they just called it noodles
-F

today we learned: apparently the word pasta was unheard of in english before the 1980s
-F

today we learned: the word black traces its etymology back to the same PIE root as the French word blanc, which means white

the root, *bhel-, means "bright, shining". the route to blanc is relatively straightforward and obvious, but the one to black goes through "burning" to the fact that black is the color of burnt things
