Her drills look so heavy and fluffy in this picture, I want to put my hands in them.

Hello everyone. I'm Scott, President of Domino's Pizza. Have you heard of Hatsune Miku? Today I'd like to announce a new collaborative project featuring Hatsune Miku: Domino's App, featuring Hatsune Miku. Hatsune Miku exists in a software called Vocaloid. Vocaloid enables you to produce songs. A character called Hatsune Miku sings the songs you create. A great feature is you can create songs as you like. I knew our talented Domino's Pizza crew could work together and create great Vocaloid songs. Bokuro P, Eshi, Chiyo Kiyoshi, Furitsu Keshi, everyone! Amazing Vocaloid songs have been created with the fantastic imagination of the crews all over Japan. The challenge was successfully carried out and this new collaborative app was produced.

Based on Miku's image, the Domino's App changes its appearance. A lot of music and illustrations produced by Domino's crew are here. From the menu to the order, it looks very cute, just like Miku. Once your pizza's delivered, have some fun with Miku! It comes with a social camera function and you can take various poses, pictures of Miku, very cool. And last, but not least, the live performance! Start the pizza stage live and point the camera towards the pizza box, and the pizza box will turn into a live dancing venue. A live performance of Luv4Night produced by Domino's crew! Here we go!

Let's enjoy the rest of the performance with the app!

Now the next unsolved question is: when a person is multilingual, should that count as multiple languages or are they all facets of the same idiolect? Is code-switching between formal and informal English the same as code-switching between English and French? Can a person even have multiple idiolects?

Just Cause 2 isn't woke, it's explicitly political. That's like saying GTA 4 went woke when they added Gay Tony, while missing the biting satire of a society that fails to support vulnerable immigrants in building a stable life.

I also have to laugh when someone takes a very rough estimate (around a hundred miles) and converts it to metric with 4 significant figures (160.9 km). Even 160 is too precise when talking about a distance of 80-120 miles. If the original number has 1 sigfig, the conversion should too, even if that feels way off.

This always (and only) happens to me in big company meetings and it's really hard to get out of those or to find a coping mechanism that would be socially acceptable. So last time I kinda freaked out right before I reached the assembly room, grabbed my stuff and went home. I don't even think anyone noticed, everyone goes home right after anyway.

I really enjoy the Donki, it's just cramped enough to make cozy nooks for me to hide between the Pikachu bath towels and the Love Live soap dispensers.

Oh sorry, your comment makes sense then. Just didn't expect to encounter someone with such an unpopular opinion.

Did you imagine a "don't" in that sentence?

Should the target area be square or should it also be a hexagon?

[–] Hoimo@ani.social 8 points 2 weeks ago

The bee doesn't have to know anything about numbers to make the honeycomb. All it needs to know is how big to make the circle (bee-sized) and where the circle should be (touching two other circles). From there, the hexagons form naturally.

Firstly, I don't know why English speaking countries are relevant when the article is about Japanese companies with people/assets in Taiwan preparing for an invasion scenario.

Secondly, it's not wild at all that any country with substantial investments in Taiwan would be worried about China's relationship with Taiwan. The China-Taiwan situation has become very tense in recent years, while the world economy has only become more dependent on Taiwan's semiconductor industry and, consequently, on Taiwan's political situation.

If we compare this to the US involvement in Guatamala to protect United Fruit Co's banana production, this is substantially less wild.
