Good thing no one is asking me what my career aspirations are anymore because they've turned into writing a fanfic so good someone makes fan art of it. High aspirations indeed.

Miku family reunion

[earlgraytay]

for today's lucky 10,000, here's the song that OP is talking about

it is genuinely sweet and charming and I'm so glad to have googled it

The meme is funny, but Miku's grandpa (the IBM 7094) actually looked like this:

He took up 2,000+ square feet and helped with NASA's "Saturn" flights.

Look how big and clunky he is. He had to work really hard to sing that song ;_; please appreciate him.

if you want to feel emotions here’s a combination of the IBM704 and Hatsune Miku singing Daisy Bell as a duet

[mushtoons]

sorry i wanted to draw miku singing with her grandpa 🥺

[rosslynpaladin]

Anyone else remember Skippy? in the Aasimov short story? Got caught in a protocol loop trying to help its humans, and ran in circles singing this. NOW I know why.

And yes that makes this computer Hatsune Miku's Grandcomputer.

This is actually such a crucial part of healing from neglect and abuse and I have to add to this.

Because indeed, people who like you will not roll their eyes and sigh at the idea of accommodating your needs, they will value your voice and be upset with you about injustice done to you, not at you for "being difficult". They will be happy when you find a way to live a better life, and help you to get there. If you are struggling, someone who loves you wants to see you smile, not tell you to smile because "you have it so good".

Oh, this is a type of shorthand!

There are 3 main types, but from my research, this looks to be American Gregg Shorthand.

As you can see, there are set symbols for every letter.

Let’s break one of the words down:

Using the Gregg Alphabet as reference, we can see most of the letters in “atrophied” are present. But why no “o” vowel, and why is “ph” written as “f”?

Simple. In shorthand, you cut out all vowels in a word when writing it down, with the exception of words that BEGIN or END with a vowel (hence the “a” at the start being present), or like in the “i” in “atrophied”, to make it more readable when the sound could be harder to distinguish if it isn’t written. In “atrophied” if the the “i” isn’t written, it could be hard to tell if the writer meant a “fud”, “fad”, “fod” or “fid” sound, for example.

Also, since Shorthand is a phonetic writing system, you are encouraged to write down the phonetic sounds of words rather than the actual letter blends - in this case, write an “f” instead of a “ph”.

So in actuality, these aren’t just meaningless scribbles - it’s Gregg Shorthand, a writing system developed to take down notes more quickly than when written out in full, which is very useful in a medical or journalistic environment.

Some people can even write over 100 words in a minute! And, it’s been in use since John Robert Gregg invented it in 1888! Wow! So old!

Isn’t language amazing~?

Okay but the best part of this is that this is an exhibition of corvid behavior called "companion calling." A lot of the time when you hear crows in different areas around you cawing, what they're essentially saying is "hi! I'm over here and I'm okay! How are you?" Or perhaps a little like "MARCO!" to prompt their friends to reply "POLO!"

If one of the crow family that nests across the street from my house companion calls for the others and doesn't get a reply, it will fly off towards the last place it heard from them in order to go find its family.

It really is just them saying, "You all right, love? I'm all right," and people do the same thing, so this crow is literally just adapting their companion calls to the others around them.
