howdy! I started learning Japanese awhile back bc of the first boku boys stream, and lately I've been trying to work on listening. so I wanted ask if you knew of any good Japanese youtubers that would be good for language absorption!

sushi ramen riku comes to mind. he's a younger dude who's got an engineering and experiments channel where he has a big warehouse and kinda just does whatever he wants. he speaks at a speed thats pretty easy to parse without it being downright patronizing, and the content itself is really entertaining. plus, a large portion of his videos have english captions if you wanna double check what you're hearing.

I can't take Rose Lalonde's nickname seriously because every time I see it quickly I read "tentacle THE rapist"

With the only capital T being in the middle, it would be misread as that.

WindowsXP Installation Walkthrough

Version 1.0, April 2, 2023 By tentacleTherapist

=================== TABLE OF CONTENTS ===================

1. Introduction 2. Pre-Installation Preparations 3. Installation Steps 3.1. Booting from Installation Media 3.2. Starting the Installation Process 3.3. Accepting the License Agreement 3.4. Selecting the Partition 3.5. Formatting the Partition and Backing Up Data 3.6. Finalization 4. Post-Installation Setup 5. Troubleshooting

========= Introduction =========

Inclined to forgo dispensing trite formalities, I present to you a comprehensive walkthrough on how to install the venerable operating system known as Microsoft’s Windows XP. This guide is intended to provide guidance to those who seek to undertake the installation process of this powerful software on their personal computer. ====================== Pre-Installation Preparations ======================

Before embarking on this odyssey, one must be well-prepared. It is crucial to have all the necessary hardware and software components in place to ensure a smooth and successful installation process. This includes, but is not limited to, a functional Windows XP installation media, whether that is an officially purchased CD/DVD, a self-burnt disk or USB drive is up to you, a compatible and functional computer system with the minimum required specifications, and the relevant drivers and software necessary for device compatibility. While I’m unable to assist you with the issue of drivers, as these vary depending on your hardware, I’m able to inform you on the minimum system requirements:

A 233 MHz or faster processor

At least 64 MB of RAM

At least 1.5 GB of available hard disk space

A monitor with a resolution of at least 800x600 pixels

A keyboard and mouse or compatible pointing device

It is also noteworthy that if your UEFI does not have a BIOS mode, you won’t be able to run XP natively on your machine. If that is the case you might want to look into the possibility of installing a BIOS emulator or running the operating system on a virtual machine.

======================================= Installation Steps: Booting from Installation Media =======================================

To initiate the installation process, we must first set our computer to boot from the Windows XP installation media. This can be achieved by entering the BIOS settings and configuring the boot order to prioritize the CD/DVD/USB drive.

======================================== Installation Steps: Starting the Installation Process ========================================

Upon a reboot the installation process should begin automatically. However, in some cases, manual intervention may be required to initiate the installation process. A troubleshooting guide or assistance from an expert might be useful at this point in time.

========================================= Installation Steps: Accepting the License Agreement =========================================

The next step is quite self-explanatory, I merely included it for the sake of thoroughness. Before proceeding with the installation, you must agree to the terms and conditions of the Windows XP license agreement. Carefully read through the agreement and select "I agree" to continue with the installation process. 

================================ Installation Steps: Selecting the Partition ================================

During the installation process, you will be prompted to select the partition on which you wish to install Windows. If you have multiple partitions on your hard drive, select the desired partition and confirm your selection to proceed.

================================================ Installation Steps: Formatting the Partition and Backing Up Data ================================================

After selecting the partition, you will be prompted to format the partition. Formatting erases all existing data on the partition, so confirm you have backed up all important data before proceeding. Once the partition is formatted, the installation process will begin to transfer the necessary files to the drive.

======================= Installation Steps: Finalization =======================

After the installation files have been transferred, the system will reboot. Once the restart is finalized, it is recommended to enter user information, such as your name and organization. Fill out the information to your desired degree and confirm your input to complete the installation.

================== Post-Installation Setup ==================

After the installation process reached its end, you may be required to install drivers and software specific to your computer's hardware. These can typically be acquired on the manufacturer's website or the installation disc provided with the computer. Additionally, it is recommended that you run Windows Update to ensure that your system is up to date and secure.

============= Troubleshooting =============

In the unlikely event that you encounter issues during the installation process, refer to the Microsoft support website or troubleshooting manual for advice. Alternatively, seek assistance from an available qualified technician or support representative. 

=======================================

If everything worked out according to plan, your Windows XP system should now be fully functional. In case you should have any further inquiries, I’d be more than willing to offer support to the best of my abilities.

Enjoy your Windows eXPerience.

EB: and that you are gross and smell like a dog took a dump on a fart even when you aren't crapping during our conversations.

TG: goddamn

EB: jk that last bit was me heheh. but she nodded!

EB: so anyways, a yeah woo machine?

EB: what the hell even IS that?

JADE: its more or less a machine that yeahs and woos

TG: its basically a machine that yeahs and woos

EB: ok, yeah, that is pretty much exactly what jade said too. apparently this is supposed to be obvious.

TG: damn word spreads fast on the information superhighway

TT: Yes, I have had the news forwarded to me via this bountiful virtual dimension of knowledge and culture we call the World Wide Web by a fellow enthusiast, one ectoBiologist.

TT: Frankly I'm heartbroken you didn't come to me about it first.

TT: Please, divulge to your loving sister the nature of your bowel movements, in exhaustive detail. Highlights in a notarized list, an overall ranking grade of your experience, whether you would recommend it to your friends, et cetera. These would be among my most pertinent avenues of inquiry.
