This weekend, on saturday or sunday (TBD) at 16:00 UTC, world2ch will engage in a 10 game riichi or zung jung mahjong series with players from dqn, there will be two players from each. The two players from world2ch have already been decided. Details will be released as they are figured out if you would like to watch. If you also play mahjong then announce so in this thread.
Have you tried advertising this on Craigslist?
So is this happening or not?

dqn has failed to provide any contestants. Pretty sad to see none of the cool users are there anymore.
Guess it didn't work out then? I'm sorry to hear that anon.

Let's have a little thread to talk about what we're watching or have watched recently.
Pieces (1982) aka Mil gritos tiene la noche (Night of a Thousand Screams). This is a Spanish movie pretending to be an Italian giallo pretending to be filmed in America, Boston specifically just ignore the sunny weather and palm trees. The premise is fairly simple: a masked chainsaw wielding killer stalks a college campus sawing women into pieces for his human jigsaw puzzle. "It's exactly what you think it is!" on the box art. For some reason the incompetent authorities just decide to keep the college open despite girls being chopped to bits every other day. The killer walks around in the appropriate giallo killer uniform: black fedora, black over coat, black gloves all in the middle of summer without breaking a sweat. It'd be pretty good camo at night if it wasn't for the big yellow chainsaw. Oh yeah, and this University employs a tenured professor of kung fu, a Bruce Lee clone in a tracksuit who shows up randomly to stalk the MC and do wushu moves before fainting and blaming it all on bad chop suey.
Magic Knight Rayearth (2026) probably the only good thing airing this season. Its a fairly good remake of the 90s anime and is more faithful to the manga. The environments and outfits look beautiful and we get some stunning shots. I'm enjoying it so far.
I'm not currently watching any anime right now, but I watched Aso Jinja the other day, an NHK documentary about restoring a the Aso shrine in Kumamoto as it was devastated by an earthquake in 2016. It's neat to see the effort they put into trying to reuse all the original wood instead of building a shrine replica on top of it, I'm glad they've restored it as the shrine's about 2200~ years old.

I wonder how they did that. Surely the existing wood would have been badly damaged or just old? Its good they managed to restore it.

It's pretty fascinating, you can watch it here if you'd like:

Tonight's drink: red bull whisky
After several days this week where we had blackouts for 8, 12, more hours, there was finally a demonstration at the government-owned power company.
I went to see how the demonstration was organized out of curiosity. (Previously I have attended OccupyICE, CHAD, #BLM etc).
They were still assembling at 23:00. I scoped out the crowd. Almost all high schoolers or middle school age, wearing their street clothes, parked motorbikes half a block away. No one wearing masks. I asked the kids casually "So I heard there's a party here tonight?" and they laughed. One kid was really eager to show me that he had a bag full of fireworks. He pulled out fireworks one by one and kept pointing at the building which was surrounded by a perimeter of police, and there were pretty easily police inside the building, probably videotaping everything (you recognize the signs with age and wisdom).
Noped away from the front lines pretty quick and watched the rest of it on a livestream. The kids lit off some fireworks and lit a tire on fire in the middle of the road. They yelled and ran up and down the street until they got tired and went home.
I would rate the demo 3/10. Very boring, very poorly organized, bad optics, awful opsec.
Even useless protests are still good opportunities to learn how to play with the media and work as an organized body, but these kids weren't even doing that. What kinds of headlines are you planning to win by showing up at a building with fireworks in the middle of the night? How are you going to win the sympathies of housewives and office workers, even politicians and business leaders? Sigh.

It wasn't specified what we're actually drinking, so sure. Some of use like to practice temperance, so I'll sip some common earl grey with you.

that is nice. many people seek comfort in alcohol. but tea and coffee are relaxing too
I haven't had coffee in a while, thinking of getting a new coffee maker since I don't like to purchase coffees from coffee shops.
I'm drinking tap water does that count?
Post anything you know/remember about Halloween. Sorry if Halloween is not celebrated in your country.
Halloween was on a school day when I was nine or so and everyone wore their costumes to school. Me and some other kid got into a fight and it kind of messed up our costumes. I can't remember if I went trick or treating later that day.
A quick example helps show why the denominator matters. For measurements 8, 10, 10, and 12, the mean is 10 and the squared deviations sum to 8. If those four values are the whole group, population variance is 8/4 = 2 and population standard deviation is √2 ≈ 1.41. If they are a sample used to estimate a larger process, sample variance is 8/(4−1) ≈ 2.67 and sample standard deviation is ≈ 1.63.
The standard deviation is in the same units as the measurements; variance is in squared units. For quality control, also keep the order of measurements and any time trend in view—a single spread number can hide drift.
For a larger list, this variance calculator can help check the arithmetic: https://statscalculator.org/variance-calculator/
But what's the centroid of a fractal?
I have been playing Minecraft on my phone a lot lately. It is a proper full game rather than a gacha, and building plus survival works great in short sessions anywhere. I grabbed the Android APK version from this page: https://minecrftapkdl.com/
Late happy Halloween! Surprised the front page didn't get updated beyond the Tannasin makeover.
