One of the most fascinating videos I've seen in a long time. It's simply mind-blowing how complicated the seemingly simple task of developing a Chinese typewriter actually is, when you think about it. Typewriters are so commonplace in the West that we just kind of take them for granted, but developing a device that can produce tens of thousands of different 汉字 which can mix together elements in varying shapes and sizes is a near-impossible engineering problem.

Also, Jeremy Fielding is a must-follow if you're into engineering, the guy's a bonafide genius, and I just love listening to him speak, he seems like such a cool person.

I love this grumpy fat ass dummy

by that I mean me, an Actual Idiot

The question is: how do I become a streamer? lmao

I know, I know, but the thing is, I've been teaching English for about ten years now and I'm frankly getting tired of the grind, waking up early as shit, teaching for six to nine hours each day and all that. I make good money, but I get the feeling that the real big money is in doing online stuff. Selling courses, making content, that kind of stuff.

My idea for a channel or twitch stream or whatever would be me playing games and then commenting on interesting aspects of the stuff characters are saying in the games. Some of the streams would be Q&As, some straight-up lessons on specific topics, maybe some streams dedicated to other stuff like films and TV shows. You get the idea.

The thing is, I don't even know where to start. I'm familiar with OBS, I have a good camera and mic setup that I already use for my online lessons, but I don't know where to start in terms of platforms, streamers to use as references and what I should expect from the process of cultivating an audience.

What do you folks think? Where should I begin?

Brazil's favorite Papa Nurgle daemonhost is at it again, folks.

I kindly request that you send my country your best thoughts and prayers. This time he was saved by SAMU, our free and public emergency healthcare service created by... Lula.

lol, lmao even

О черт, что же мне теперь делать?

I challenge you not to tap your foot as you listen to this absolute banger

Also, it caused a bit of a stir way back in the 1910s, when the first lady played it at a social event, per Wikipedia:

The song caused a minor scandal when the First Lady of Brazil, Nair de Teffé, performed it on guitar in public in 1914.[1][3] Catulo da Paixão Cearense's interpretations were successful and, in 1914, they encouraged Nair de Tefé to organize a recital to launch Corta Jaca, although Nair knew Chiquinha's songs, they never met in person. There were criticisms of the government and resounding comments about the "scandals" in the palace for promoting and disseminating songs whose origins were in lewd and vulgar dances, according to the conception of the social elite.[5]

I didn't get to play it in the dream, but I spent my morning thinking about what exactly the rules and gameplay would be like
