the strange and recent fetishization of triple baka as somehow "core" to vocaloid stuff worries me. it feels like a cargo cult has sprung up around it. people are treating neru like she has some sort of equal pull or relevance to miku and teto, like she was a real character and not a variant of miku meant to represent people who quit halfway through making a song
at the same time, yowane haku is totally forgotten, despite having arguably more relevance and popularity than neru, as the crybaby alcoholic depressed miku that represents "i couldn't make her voice sound good."
they're copying the form of 2007-era vocaloid, but not the soul

Since when? Back in the 70s and 80s (last time I was there), there were no "supervisory" personnel and if there were, they would have been laughed at or beat up, or both.

@Highroehler @PurpCat @Evil_Bender @monsignor_dickface @nugger @All_bonesJones The UP is like an open secret portal to Americana and nature. Everything costs more, the wages are a bit higher for service jobs, and the scenery is beautiful.

Either way I read they reported the wind moving cars and they shut it down if the wind is too high. They also offer a service that they will drive your vehicle for you for people that are scared.

@JedDrudge @PurpCat @monsignor_dickface @nugger @All_bonesJones The black flies? Reapply picaridin liberally. I had picaridin wipes last time I was up there and it helped because I put the used wipes in my pockets to amplify the protective field.

Oddly enough, I was camped near a shallow, protected area, and the water was surprisingly warm...
Large spiders inhabit TP rolls in cabin outhouses...
Then there are what might be the most vicious flies known to man...

@JedDrudge @PurpCat @monsignor_dickface @nugger @All_bonesJones No problem börthar! It is the only thing that works on the biting face flies. It wears off slowly while sweating. My recommendation is to wipe with a bandana or wet wipe first to get your face "clean" since they grow attracted to your sweat and oils.

@reallyangry @Robert_Edwardly @Highroehler @PurpCat @BattleDwarfGimli @Evil_Bender @monsignor_dickface @nugger @All_bonesJones Baseball is super fun to watch live. If you guys have a minor league team close by, go check it out. Probably the cornhuskers or some kind of name like that in Hoosierborea.

Somewhere around here I have that book they wrote about it. Supposedly there's a few guys in those massive concrete pylons...

I don't know about the bridge, but the Grand Coolee Dam has several men entombed. To make sure there were no weak spots, the concrete pour had to be continuous. Which meant that there was no option to stop pouring concrete for rescue operations when someone fell in.

People travel from all over the country to attend the Rickwood Classic. Rickwood Field is the oldest professional ballpark in the US, and they play one game a year there to maintain its status as "professional." They restored it to its pre-electronic era scoreboard and put vintage ads on the outfield wall.
In 1931, The Houston Buffaloes played the Birmingham Barons in the Dixie Series Championship. Dizzy Dean, who was pitching for Houston, very brashly guaranteed a win. The Barons won. My grandfather was at that game, and afterwards he went and got a ladder off of his work truck and used it to climb up to the small barred window of the visiting team's locker room, just so he could heckle Dizzy Dean. Dean was drinking a Coke, and hurled it at my granddad's face. It exploded into shards on the bars of the window.
You can rent the park for a couple hundred bucks and play a game of baseball in it. If I could find seventeen other guys to go in on it with me, I'd do it. Many of the greats played games there, so you'd be running bases where Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Mickey Mantle, and Joe DiMaggio ran bases.

I'm old enough to remember when baseball was White. I had a signed Rusty Staub bat, and a ball signed by Mark "The Bird" Fydrich.
