Elf Rond Hubbard: Dragonetics

Xystus: No, this is wildly inaccurate. Adding more cooks is more like adding CPU cores. RAM is, ultimately, storage space (although it’s volatile). A better metaphor would be “imagine you work in a bakery with 100 shelves to stock [that’s the hard drive] and 20 bakers [the CPUs/cores] but...

That’s… a really terrible metaphor he uses, there.

@warriorg: every economist, including that guy, is a shill who manufactures plausible-sounding justifications for pre-existing political biases. Wouldn’t mind betting money that in another 10 or 20 years he’ll be so thoroughly discredited that people will routinely use comparisons to him in...

…I really wouldn’t want to be ruled by somebody who let their “gut feelings” override the facts they knew. This is a fictional story set in a fantasyland, so it’s presumably going to work out okay, but in an even marginally realistic setting that guy would run the country into a ditch within...

Hmm. Is this faithful to the movie? If so, the movie made a lot more sense than the original two.

@Nimroth: well, if Mail isn’t by the same guy: 1. Dark Horse credited the wrong author in all three volumes they published 2. The appearance of the PI from Mail in Kurosagi Corpse Delivery must have been done without permission

@Nimroth: it’s the same author, and even apparently the same universe — go reread Kurosagi Corpse Delivery and pay attention to the name of the shady detective the company keeps getting jobs from, and then reread ~volume 14 of this.

Minor note to the TLs: an arm is never “decapitated”. The word “decapitated” specifically means “had the head cut off”. If you want a fancy word for cutting off an arm, “dismemberment” would be one choice.

Tsk. That was a poorly-chosen command. She should have said “kill all other demons and then yourself” and then the demon problem would be solved completely.

@ProfileGuy: Either Mangadex needs to update the Data Saver thing to preserve animation, or this series is off-limits to anybody using it, because with Data Saver turned on all you see is a still of the first frame, saying “I’m”, and nothing else.

Could really have done without the “I’m horny” part — there’s more than enough fantasy porn in manga already — but I’m willing to give it a shot.

@sssr: I’ll take your word for that, but it still strikes me as weird to say “8 degrees above 30” to describe the temperature and not either “38 degrees” or “1.2 degrees above normal”. If the normal temperature range excludes the value 30 anyway, why refer to it when reading off somebody’s...

“8 degrees above 30” is a weird way to put it. Is that normal Japanese terminology for talking about a fever? Normal human temperature in Celsius is 37 (give or take a fraction), so what she has is a fever of about 1 degree (less than 2 in Fahrenheit, where her temperature is about 100.5), and...

*sigh* Yet another story with a somewhat interesting twist on the isekai genre, which explores it for a little bit and then turns out to be an excuse to explore a fetish and do the old and tired harem scenario again. It would be nice if they gave a warning at the beginning, along the lines of...
