Odd Facts You've Just Learnt

[One-armed dwarf]

I've no idea where to put this as I didn't want to fuk up the book thread but also didn't want to put in Brexit or rant thread

But anyway.

People are mad at JK Rowling for liking a tweet that says trans-women are 'men in dresses'.

I guess I didn't figure that she'd thought that way, what with her retconing Dumblydore as a gay man with an evil wizard boyfriend.

Maybe now millennials wont read Harry Potter anymore and read other stuff and Philip Pullman can reclaim his rightful modern YA-fiction throne.

They also have a €10500 fleece made out of the wool of 27 stillborn lambs.

Nickelodeon has parted ways with producer Dan Schneider.

This guy is heavily rumoured to be a pedo to the point that it's become a meme.

Hard to know if any of it is true but makes you

strangely enough I had a customer as if we could supply a Suckling Lamb today for Easter, I had to tell her no and that I doubted she would find such a thing outside Glasgow perhaps.

seems their popular in Spain and France but it the first ive heard of it here.

Jeem, that picture is clearly a beagle.

I don't know who that is so I am going to ascribe blame to Rob Schneider instead.

Bone Conduction Headsets

Only just found out about these, they use vibrations through the top of your jawbone area to allow you to hear sound (like a voice in your head) whilst leaving your ears free (they use a wraparound headstrap).

Anybody tried them out, any recommendations?

[One-armed dwarf]

This is interesting: https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout

You can order a big archive of all the data google have on you. Or at least that which they're willing to give you.

I just got my archive processed. It is 32 GB.

That seems big.

edit: OK, part of why it's so large is it's got episodes of Dragon ball in there that I uploaded to Plex.

Yeah maybe I should move that shit out and store it away from google

They also have a big file called locationHistory.json which knows everywhere I've been in the past 2 years (when I got my phone).

activating smug no phone mode



That said might be interesting to find out what they have on a none phone owner like me as a comparison.


EDIT : Just got notification and my file is a massive.........wait for it...... 12.8mb so tiny.

[Sly Reflex]

That's still quite a lot. Do you realise how much data 12mb in a text format?

[One-armed dwarf]

Yeah a lot of mine is the Dragonball stuff lol.

Anyway they know what websites you visit jeem and where you buy stuff. They probably have a pretty good profile on you

[sleepery jeem]

Had a look through and aside from my youtube views likes and comments there not a lot more.


I am not a number, I am a free man.

[One-armed dwarf]

Mine also has all the videos I've uploaded to youtube. FFXIV raids and the Devil May Cry stuff I've been recording. No wonder it's so large.

Also that stuff where they detect if you are walking or running or cycling is interesting. Can they detect.... other stuff?

In a dramatic turn of events I just learned how to make poached eggs

I am so far behind
