Did you stay home? Do anything special? Eat a lot or in moderation?
I watched the Macy's parade with my family and thought it was pretty subpar. The Goku and Luffy balloons were neat, but it was a strange feeling seeing anime bleed more into the western normal sphere. I wished the floats were actually matched with the singers in theme. A lot of past prime singers in awful outfits on floats that don't have anything to do with the theme of their float, I remember the lego float standing out because whoever was on it just sung some unrelated pop song. Other than that I had a good time.

The Natal Chart of Kissu
I was convinced by a strong influence in my life that astrology is very real, and more over, can also apply to more than just biological life, but the births of institutions, movements, and buildings as well as these things take a life of their own.I plugged in the birthdate for 4chan as posted at >>133807 and now that it's Kissu's 6th birthday I think it's long time we take a deeper look.

tamers, a guy that made retarded (yet strangely well animated) ms paint animations of Sonic has switched over to ponies. It gets like 10-30x the views of his old Sonic stuff. https://www.youtube.co
I guess it's good that someone creative can make money from it now, but this kind of sucks since the Sonic stuff was so dumb and retarded and fun. I've linked it a few times here over the years, and it's just the right kind of old youtube juvenile humor that makes me laugh. I don't think anyone else here really liked it, though.
I didn't think this was still a marketable demographic, but going from 3k views on average to six digits is a pretty big leap in ad revenue. Bronies being a subset of furries means they're probably going to pay money directly to him too for more content. Good for him, but I'm going to miss watching it.
Such is life. The allure of furry money is too much for mortals to handle.

Also ate a bunch of juicy bacon these past couple weeks. I love cooking it to just before becoming crispy where it's got a bit of a tug to it still and has a more meaty texture to it. Also preferably seasoned with onion powder and cracked pepper, but sometimes I drop the onion powder if I'm going to be letting my cats eat some too. Absolutely love bacon.
Wholesale Stores are Pretty Good
Recently been accompanying my mom to Costco and found out they sell 4lb of bacon for $18, in addition to a shitload of other great prices for food. How the hell do these places work that they can sell food for so cheap? If you go to these places often what do you tend to get that's great value in them, think I want to find out more about them now.Also ate a bunch of juicy bacon these past couple weeks.

Have you ever been interested in aromatherapy or scented candles and stuff? The other day in one of my rare ventures outside I was at small grocery store (the expensive kind I only visit yearly and barely buy anything from) and it had a really nice apple cider/cinnamon smell and it made me feel warm and happy. They didn't actually have any fresh cider or cinnamon, so it was obviously fake stuff.
Smell is pretty strong when it comes to emotion and memories and stuff, right? It seems like it's worth investigating.

What makes photons reflected by the eyes different from photons coming from natural light that forces quantum particles to conform to a singular position? Or do all the confirmation experiments take place in pitch black darkness? And how is quantum computing theoretically supposed to work anyways? Do you need to be capable of forcing a certain state in quantum particles to make it work, or is it somehow fine for a particles state to be up to probability? I guess if it's the former than that explains why we haven't come close to attaining it yet.

It's something I'd like to experience one day, but at the same time it kind of freaks me out to not have land beneath me. Nature shows and even video games really make underwater areas seem so cool to explore, like an alien world. It's a shame we need a bunch of equipment to do it since it's not our natural environment.

I'm going to get a bass guitar for the first time. Because I've never played bass before, I want to get something as inexpensive as I reasonably can so I can take lessons and practice. But I'd like something that sounds decent, and I can't decide. The cheapest things seem to be Chinese brands, like Glarry which has bass guitars for around $100. Glarry in particular has a jazz bass that looks enticing to me, the GJazz. There's also one with double humbuckers called the GIB, which I am interested in as opposed to the single coil pickups. Above the Chinese junks are the lowest-priced offerings from name brands like Ibanez. In particular I was looking at an Ibanez GIO GSR100EX, which is around $200.
I'm really particular about getting a sound I like, and so far I prefer the sound of jazz basses over precision basses. I'm not sure how much of that has to do with things like pickups, amps, pedals, or just playing technique. Watching videos of people demoing the basses I'm interested in, I'm unsure how much of what I'm hearing is being carried by equipment and and how much is skill. This video of the Ibanez SR 1200 Premium has a sound that I like, but would a bottom-of-the-barrel bass like the ones I'm looking at be able to even sound close? Like, is that sound I like a result of pedal or amp effects?
Also, there is the question of whether to get a 4-sting or 5-string. 4-string is the "standard" but I think I'd like the lower range from a 5-string. That's also why I'm apprehensive about a more expensive bass, in case I'd end up wanting to go for the 5-string later on. And there's also the factor of flatround vs. roundwound strings, which seem to have differences in sound and playability.
Because I am looking to spend as little as possible I am probably going to get a Chinesium amplifer. So, whatever I get, there's a good chance it will sound like trash regardless of what guitar I get.
tl;dr For spending the least possible for a bassy bass guitar, is something like the Chinese Glarry good enough, or is going up to the low-cost model from Ibanez more worth it, or maybe even a Squier? Are things like pickups, string type, number of strings even worth worrying about for my quest for a good sound from something in this price range? Amazon has a pretty lenient return policy so I can probably get away with getting it refunded if I don't like it.

Just recently by pure accident I found out that it's possible to see the shadow of the veins on your retina.
If you want to try this yourself you can follow the instructions here:
https://www.aao.org/museum-education-healt
Alternatively, you can try the same way I did it:
Stare at your blank TV
With your arm fully extended, move your arm about a foot from center and hold a light source (I used my phone) and point it in the same direction as your eye is looking (towards your eye)
You can move your arm around in a circular fashion to see different regions within your eye
As mentioned in the article above, you can even use this method to identify blind spots such as the optic disk which is where the veins come into the eye from. I suppose if you have any retinal degeneration you could also identify that.

Does /aut/ have any favorite advertisements?
Here is one. Evertale is a generic gacha RPG, but their advertisements have a lore ripped off of indie JRPGs giving a recurrent horror theme that suggests the users will be able to eventually experience a real story in their gacha game. It uses free assets and plagerism to get people to click and think it's something interesting.
It's a nice scam.

I read some stories about mafias and gangs around the world and I think that the formation of them can point to the formation of human society.
They are usually born into poverty where the only way to survive is to by acting together to be powerful enough to make ends meet, relying on strength and violence. Those who are the strongest and cruelest are the key to this, so the weak rely on the strong to survive and are willing to obey the orders of them.
This results in a pyramid social structure with different levels of leaders and a culture of obeying the order of those who are higher up. The strongest aggregates the most wealth and become the king.
Maybe autocracy is part of the human nature.

Hmmm, very interesting. There was some Youtube Channel(Common Sense Skeptic I think), that was debunking Starship and Starlink, pointing out how ludicrous Starship is and how it's mission to Mars would never work for many reasons and in another video talking about how Starlink is a debacle that is actually losing Space X money and doens't offer a better service than what is already available. This email kind of confirms both, Starship was never meant to go to Mars, he just said that to hype up idiots, it's meant to send these satilites to space in a manner that is actually viable and cost effective because as it is they are going to go bust.

Now, the challenge is to determine the distance h from the bottom of the well to the point where the two sticks intersect.
99% of STEM graduates can't solve this primary school problem in an hour! Can you?
There is a well, open at the top, with a diameter of three meters. We throw two sticks with lengths of four and five meters, respectively, into the well. Let's assume that these sticks are positioned as shown in figure 0.2, i.e., they stay in the same plane and they "cross each other" as shown. The problem is really two-dimensional, as the well can be replaced by a rectangle that is open at the top.Now, the challenge is to determine the distance h from the bottom of the well to the point where the two sticks intersect.

The comments on this video are interesting, because they exist in some sort of manufactured reality. For the last year, maybe two, Martin has been continually self-sabotaging himself by redesigning parts that do not need redesigning, creating parts that were not given enough forethought for the ways in which they will fail, and then worst of all, going beyond the scope of the project and introducing corrosive feature creep with elements of the previous two issues intermixed.
Despite this realization finally striking Martin, the response from the comments is flooded with messages saying, "Don't give up! We support you!" and "Your issues make the project unique! Without them, you're destroying it's character."
I can't help but wonder who these people are, and what their rationale might be. Was redesigning the marble gates 3-4 times in a row really productive? Was adding the additional constraint that the machine must be silent constructive? Was redesigning the rhythm machine necessary? Did the focus -- for far too long -- on trying to make the mechanism for dropping marbles look like spindly fingers actually achieve anything?

You ever wonder how some stuff manages to be profitable? Like peas, for instance. It takes something like 30 of the plants to fill up one frozen bag and the bag sells for a dollar. Is it just government subsidies?
And then there's specialty stores. Maybe physical specialty stores are on their way out because of online shopping, but previously a guy could have a store where he just sells paint or pool supplies and somehow it would stay in business throughout his life.
It's just so strange to me to think somehow civilization supports this kind of thing.

Everything seems so messed up. The world keeps getting worse and worse. People are forced into more and more debt in order to get by. Giant companies cut costs, pass them off to consumers, and price gouge all to appease shareholders. People are forced to rent everything they have because it's not financially feasible to own anything anymore. Governments which are supposed to protect its citizens ignore it as they only seek to gain more power for themselves. The only way I see this getting fixed is an economic collapse to restart the system. But that will hurt a lot of people and take generations to recover. I like to think it's not as bad as it seems and my perception is just warped from secluding myself to imageboards most of my life, but every time I look at the real world, it just doesn't seem okay. I hope I'm wrong and everything isn't actually as messed up as I see it, but I'm not too confident in that....

I went on my yearly 6hr autumn walk through the park trials for these walks I start on the bike paths before going off to the unmarked areas. I normally bring a weapon but I foolishly forgot this time luckily there was no danger.
I couldn't say the same for this caterpillar I found on the bike path before going to the unmarked areas. It was a monarch and knowing there are indangered I picked it off the path so it wouldn't go squish from bikes and carried it away to an unmarked area deep in the woods to be safe. I then altered my route because I don't like backtracking.
Hours pass and I head back to the bike path only to see a squished caterpillar on my trek I start to think "I hope that's just one I didn't carry" only to find just up ahead 13 more dead monarch caterpillars. Now I'm thinking that I did it for nothing I saved one only to see a bunch more dead...maybe even the one I "saved" maybe if I didn't see the one caterpillar I could have saved others..maybe I'm only fooling myself.
