I quite enjoy the found family trope, and am looking for some old/retro anime recommendations that have it! Are there any that come to mind?

I'm looking for some anime recommendations which are tech-related (cyberpunk?). Some examples of what I'm looking for are Serial Experiments Lain, Psycho Pass, Patlabor, Battle Angel Alita, etc.. Hopefully that gives an idea of what I mean by tech. It could be computers, robots, and so on.

This might be a bit of an odd request, but I’m allowed to play songs at my work as long as the lyrics are “clean.” My preferred genres are R&B, soul, and funk, but oftentimes there are some more suggestive lyrics. I’m not sure how strict they are at my work, but I’m trying to play it safe.

Do you have any recommendations for those genres which aren’t suggestive?

I read a while ago that Family Outing got into a big scandal due to being heavily scripted. Tbh based on what I had seen atp, it sounded about right because there were certainly parts that sounded scripted.

However, the other day I was watching the new ZIP Daesung episode with some of the old Family Outing cast, and they were saying that Family Outing barely had any script.

In Family Outing episode 17 (081012), one of the main cast members tells TVXQ Junsu that they’ve caught chickens for dinner before. Does anyone know what episode they do that?

Anyone else feel like kpop generations have shortened in the past few generations??

First generation went from 1996-2003, second generation went from 2003-2012, third generation from 2012-2018, fourth generation from 2018-2023, and fifth generation from 2023-present.

Btw, I’m starting first gen at h.o.t instead of seo taiji and boys, which some people do (that would lengthen it to 1992-2003 aka 9 years). Although, that’s definitely a valid starting point

So, it went from 7 (almost 8) years -> 9 years -> 6 years -> 5 years -> 3+ years

Obviously when you lay it out like that, it doesn’t look too bad, but the trend is a decrease in length. Do you think it has to do with music trends turning over at a faster rate now and industry over-saturation?

I’m currently studying computer science at university and I’m in Victoria this summer. Does anyone know of any women in tech events going on?

Well, here’s my possibly controversial request lol. Do you know of any shoujo or josei where the FL cheats on the ML or just cheats in general? I’m in the mood for something messy! Although, it could be a more “serious” approach too

I've been trying to fix this for the past four hours and I've just about lost my mind. I'm trying to read a file and store it in a struct. So, I've opened the file using fopen with "r", and tested if it's null, which both seem to work fine. I then created some new variables and put in some printf statements to see how far my code went, at it breaks with my fgets. I even tried putting fgets in an if statement to check if it is NULL, but it seems that fgets isn't coming back as NULL either?

The only other thing that I can think would impact this is that I'm currently having some merging errors (git) which I've yet to have sorted out.

    Data data_line[8002];
    int i = 0;
    char line[390];
    char *sp;
    printf("here\n"); // this prints out   
    while(fgets(line, 390, input_file) != NULL){
      // nothing in here gets touched
      // code
    }

Please, if you’re not available that day for some reason, then send out an email or notify us somehow! I’ve had multiple profs not show up to their office hours, which they literally set the times for, or one would consistently show up like an hour late. Students’ time is valuable too. I would appreciate not having to waste my time by attempting to attend office hours just for the prof to be a no show.

This show got mentioned when Baby Vox were on ZIP Daesung and I’ve been wanted to see their episode. Apparently the show is called Crossing the Korea Strait (with Jo O Ryeon).

They basically got thrown into the ocean off of Jeju and had to swim back against the artificial waves.

Long story short, I messed up my python installation and so I was given the advice to just reinstall python. However, since I already have a jupyter notebook started, I'm wondering if it will lose my jupyter notebook when I reinstall?

Do you have an Tsunade x Jiraiya recommendations? I’m looking for something where their relationship isn’t in the background.

I noticed a little black dot on one of my teeth the other week and it has been stressing me out ever since. I've never had a cavity before, so I'm pretty nervous about this and want to do everything I can to ensure that things won't get worse. Good news is that I've been keeping an eye on it and it doesn't seem to be getting any bigger. If anything, it seems to be getting lighter in colour.

My current routine consists of flossing first, then brushing with sensodyne repair and protect toothpaste, only spitting after (no rinsing), and then at night I put in my retainer. I brush twice a day, but only floss at night. Since the mark is between my bottom front teeth, I'm thinking that maybe I should start flossing twice a day now. Also, I've just been using a manual toothbrush, so would it be a good idea to switch to an electric one?

Anyways, please give me some tips!

For those of you that collect physical manga, do you know of any shoujo or josei one-shots (one volume) that are available to buy in English? This could also include omnibuses (more than one volume in the series, but all in one book). For example, it’s fine if it’s like paradise kiss where all five volumes are contained in the 20th anniversary edition. It’s also fine if it’s oop, but please let me know if that’s the case!

I’m a casual jumping, but I’ve noticed that BoA’s voice has changed a bit in comparison to the 2000s and early 2010s. Obviously her voice would mature as she went from child to adult, but it changed during her adult years. It’s become rather rough when she sings when she used to have a much more clear sound than now. Her music is still undoubtedly amazing, but vocally she seems to have regressed a bit.

Do any of you know what happened? I know some artists struggle with nodules, but I couldn’t find anything about that for her. Perhaps smoking habits? Although, I don’t know if she smokes. Or maybe it just comes down to her technique? I know Brian said that his technique from his SM days damaged his voice.

Anyways, did anyone else notice this or is it just me?

The options for computer science are gone. I was hoping to do one of them, so this is really disappointing. Does this happen to do with the new course uvic added? I feel like uvic should’ve notified us about the options being removed and provided a more detailed explanation for students on what’s happening with computer science planning right now.

Does anyone remember that prank show from 1st gen that was literally insane? I remember they pranked an h.o.t (?) member into thinking they accidentally shot one of their members or smth. I can’t find any clips from the show either unfortunately, but I remember watching a clip on YouTube. Anyone remember the name?
