The article is about an interesting linguistic strategy to "dilute" the sweary language of some parrots at a wildlife park by adding other parrots.
Who, presumably, don't swear.
Yet?

(It is not lost on me that one of the original, sweary parrots and one of the new parrots are both called Eric. Good name!)
@margin xenia! And yes we agree more pictures!
Still have to... Write my own config file. Fine fine shouldn't be that difficult. But the right time to write it is probably not when I'm already aggravated by the noise!
I've tried to control them manually with fancontrol, but it doesn't seem to be able to autoconfig and I haven't tried to like... write a config file
for some reason for the last some while my laptop was just running its fans at a constant speed (they usually go hog at even the slightest temperature increase). Then I restarted and now they're back to going hog when the laptop isn't even that hot...
it's probably better for the laptop, but the noise drives me insane
@spdrcstl this is so fckn spot on
homura is one of those /tttt/ trans girls who obsesses over running out of time (not getting on hrt before age 20) and has a questionable relationship to her guns collection. meanwhile madoka finds the internet too confusing so she basically never logs on except to post minions memes to her family on facebook
@davidrevoy yay thank you for drawing it and making it free. I was very tickled to find it in Wikimedia.
I found a little gem of a movie, a scifi film from 1960 created by an East-German/Polish collaboration. It's called "Der schweigende Stern" (The Silent Star) and the only actor I know in it is Yoko Tani.
It suffers from much of the typical shortcomings of scifi of that era but there is a lot of good in it as well, and I enjoyed watching it.
@purple @davidrevoy aww cool!
I just found what is perhaps the cutest picture in the open internet
