  • Does this count? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/jun/08/the-dolphin-who-loved-me

    Instead, he encouraged Lovatt to press on with teaching Peter English. But there was something getting in the way of the lessons. “Dolphins get sexual urges,” says the vet Andy Williamson, who looked after the animals’ health at Dolphin House. “I’m sure Peter had plenty of thoughts along those lines.”

    “Peter liked to be with me,” explains Lovatt. “He would rub himself on my knee, or my foot, or my hand. And at first I would put him downstairs with the girls,” she says. But transporting Peter downstairs proved so disruptive to the lessons that, faced with his frequent arousals, it just seemed easier for Lovatt to relieve his urges herself manually.





  • An ice tray to cold down a router.

    I changed ISP, the new one told me that it would take like a week to send me the credentials to use my own ADSL router 🙄, in the meantime I had to use the cheap-ass one they provided.

    The new service crashed like after five minutes of use, after some some back and force with the technical support unsuccessfully I notice that the router was extremely hot when the connection crashed and normal when it started to work again.

    It has not any cooling system, and being in the middle of the summer didn’t help either.

    So…. I tried to put an ice tray from the freezer on the router and it worked. To be “safe” I put a plastic bag between them to avoid any condensation dripping onto the device.


  • I don’t know in naturalization cases, but in Spain members of the parliament who are from independentist parties (which basically want to go against the constitution and obviously don’t give a shit about the King) preceed their oath with the phrase “by legal imperative”.

    Every time it happens some parties claim that it’s not valid but AFAIK there has been no ruling in favor/against it.

    Members of the government make their pledge at the palace in front of the king and I have no memory of anybody using that phrase, I quickly looked for pledges made by republican politicians and they pledge loyalty to the king as well.





  • I had a Vita and I loved it, it was incredible compared to the PSP and 3DS.

    But the internal memory was a joke making the memory stick practically mandatory if you wanted to buy a game in the store, which being proprietary wouldn’t be an issue if it wasn’t expensive as hell.

    The catalog of games was really small (at least in Europe, maybe in Japan wasn’t the case). I loved the few games I had but every time I tried to go to the store to see if anything interesting had come out I was disappointed.

    The development platform for indies was a framework for mobile phone that was focused for Sony smartphones, so indie games couldn’t take full advantage of the console.

    It felt like Sony abandoned the console too quickly and let it agonise.






  • The update allows users to customize a hub with a number of movable widgets to enhance their gaming experience.

    The goal, ultimately, was to allow each kind of player to tailor their experience as they see fit.

    I don’t see how it enhances my gaming experience and cannot tailor as I see fit cause I cannot remove it.

    I usually turn on the console and play the last game, now the last game is not selected is the hub.

    Removed all the widgets I could because it was a lot of noise, and the three that remains still doesn’t provide nothing useful to me.
