Vocaloid isn't really meant to sound real, though. At least, that's not what the users or fans particularly care about.

OpenUtau is the main one if I recall correctly, used to be really into this stuff as a teenager. Not sure how things have changed in the 15ish years since

There are all sorts of styles that use vocaloid, it's not all the fast chipmunk stuff. I'm also a musician, there's a lot I can enjoy with vocaloids and utaus. Also fwiw, 'rhythms stolen from other genres' is a real

Octopuses, octopodes, and octopi are all prefectly valid in modern English. There is an argument to be made that we should respect the greek root, but Octopi has been used for so long that it is a modern English word

>Am I just a stick in the mud? Yes. But it's normal. People who weren't involved in the project, or don't know design, very commonly have strong negative reactions to a company they know rebranding. I don't know why.

I always love reading the angry rants from people who get angry about any change in an organisation's branding. Every single time. Absolutely every time there's a logo change, you can see the hoard of pointless blog posts coming

It's not just about appetite, it's about actually enjoying tasting food. Not to mention the social aspect

Yes, but eating is something that people tend to enjoy doing. It means they can't do it as much, and can't consume what tend to be the tastiest foods and drinks without piling on tons of weight. An average meal at a sit-down resta

Counter-anecdote: When I was at school, we had an aging computer lab, an IT teacher who was learning the material about 1 lesson ahead of us from the other IT teacher, an IT course that consisted of MS Access, and (non-actionscript) Flash.

1200 a day is severely limited, though. 2200/day is a normal amount for a normal man to get by on, more around 1600-1800 if actively trying to lose weight. You're talking about eating nearly half as much as people normally would j

Not hindsight, reducing our storage capacity is something that was decried as it was happening. Anyone with sense saw this problem coming (not specifically a Russian war, just potential problems from a lack of gas storage). I personally hav

The ABO group system relates to a gene called ABO, which gives you your A, B, AB, or O type. I'm not aware of any other blood types in that system (though I'm just an eager blood donor, not a haematologist). There are lots of othe

Could also be a bad thing; if a country's storage capacity is woeful (like the UK), it indicates we could be storing more.

You don't get paid to donate blood, you get paid for selling your plasma to pharmaceutical companies.

There is a LOT more to blood! There are a total of 36 different blood group systems, with the most important being the ABO group that everyone knows gives you your A, B, O, or AB blood, and the (RHD gene of the) Rh group that gives you the

UK salaries on the whole are shockingly poor. That's actually a really decent salary here. Devs can start anywhere from £20k to £35k depending on background/where in the country you are.

With Google Maps I can literally download maps of the entire UK, and they are kept locally for 6 months? A year? I can't remember how long. Any time I'm driving somewhere reasonably far (or where I know there's no service), I
