Yes, quite rare.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh man!

I totally forgot there even was a cat in Haruhi! Haven’t seen that show in like 15 years.

I stated the exception to the rule in my own comment, I’m just not gonna hedge my bets when the odds are 99.967% in my favor.

Thanks for the adorable photo!

My understanding is that the X chromosome carries the gene for red cat fur. Female calicos have one X with the red fur gene and one without. If a cat only has X chromosomes that carry the red fur gene, they’ll be an red-furred cat, which is why the only male calicos are XXY. An XY male cat with the red fur gene on their X chromosome just comes out red.

I don’t see how some separate “simple congenital deformity” other than an extra X could account for red fur.

I could be wrong, I’m not a cat scientist, I just grew up knowing hundreds of cats.

What confirmed it for me was the circle around the c for the copyright logo. Should be perfectly round, not squished.

Learned about calico cats or kids raised by cat breeders?

Either way, as long as you fact check, doesn’t matter where you first learned something.

Which anime, btw? I’m curious

Ah, you’re right. It’d be 0.03333333…%

I’ll edit

What do you think the word “barring” means? My original comment noted the sole exceptional case.

Aspect ratio for Mario Kart is a bit squished but that’s a slick setup.

Yeah, I guess people raised by cat breeders are pretty rare.

I didn’t say it was impossible.

That said, if somebody gave me the option to bet on a calico cat being female, I would always take that bet because I’d only be wrong about one in three thousand times (0.03333…% of the time) if the cat was randomly selected, whereas other coat colors it’d be 50-50.

That’s a female cat. Calico cats are exclusively female, barring cats with extra chromosomes which are extremely rare.

Somebody recently mentioned Monado, which apparently supports asynchronous reproduction on Linux. Should help a lot with the stutter

No, you’re not seeing things. No links included.

Weird

That’s the hate they got from within the metal community. I’m talking about the hate they got from the guitar community in general, which at the time was maybe 90% blues rock dads.

So if they fuck it up live, they’re fake, but if they play it perfectly live, also fake.

Play while under water in a swimming pool? Believe it or not, straight to jail.

And to be clear, you can like or dislike them, not judging you, I just think it’s funny that people think they’re fake no matter what lol

IMO, if you want the beast deals right now on a 12+ TB HDD, you should use serverpartdeals.com instead. I’ve got 2 manufacturer recertified 14 TB enterprise-grade drives from them and it was way cheaper than buying any 14 TB external drive.

That and the whole “they recorded their parts slower and sped them up” thing

Your comment reads like this is a fact about them and something they’ve owned up to. It isn’t true and they’ve consistently said as much. They record at the speed the song plays at.

Back when they first got really insanely famous due to Guitar Hero III, a lot of people thought their music was fake.

They were called studioforce by guitarists who felt threatened by their inability to play TTFAF, and those same haters justified their hate by pointing out that the band themselves frequently couldn’t play it live.

This was due in part to the band still having a janky live setup at the time, in part due to their singer not sounding as good live (when they switched singers to Mark it made a big difference for their live shows IMO), and of course because Sam and to a lesser extent Herman would drink excessively before playing a lot of nights, leading to lots of recordings of their sloppy drunk shredding being uploaded to YouTube.

But mostly, I would argue, the hate came from people who dislike new things. They tried to invalidate the band’s obvious technical prowess as a way to disregard their (at the time) relatively innovative sounds.

You see that a lot in the guitar community. Anything new or that doesn’t fit a traditional, pre-existing mold is dismissed as inferior. Anything non-traditional and obviously skillful tends to draw hate from those same people.

Now that Dragonforce has been around for a good long while, the traditionalists have had time to adjust and Dragonforce has had their live act consistently together for well over a decade, the hate has largely died down.

It also helps, IMO, that Herman Li does regular livestreams so people can see that he’s a relatively down to earth guy, especially for someone with a giant wall of guitars in his house and a collection of high end sports cars.
