I might just do that and reupload the OCR’d copy. I already have 3 or 4 books that I’ve saved out to cut the binding off of and scan in- gonna need OCR for that too.

In my free time, of course. University waits for no student…

Creddit, to piracy in it sure beats having to buy it, but seriously come on...

There are a bunch of online tools that are free and let you upload a PDF to have it go through OCR.

Just Google “Free PDF OCR” and click through all the ads to upload, then give them a temporary email address to get a download link to the finished product.

Hot tip: There are free temporary email address sites too, if you need one to avoid getting on their ad lists.

Agent641,

If you have a jpg or png file, you can upload it to Google drive, then right click and open in Google docs, and it will OCR the text for you.

Look, it’s all about authorial intent - if the author had wanted their book to be easy to reference or accessible to people who use screen readers, they would have published a DRM free PDF in the first place. Gotta respect the artist’s vision.

Gork, to piracy in it sure beats having to buy it, but seriously come on...

OCR’ing a book before uploading saves so much hours on the user end of things. I wish it were done more so I don’t have to leave my computer running overnight to batch OCR stuff.

Time locked pokemon? How long has this been a thing. Yes, there have always been event pokemon…

eutsgueden,

They’re version exclusives, silly, something that’s been around since Gen 1. The timed event allows players to catch the other version’s exclusives in the wild.

I suppose that is a minor improvement to my old system of: buying both, and catching them all, then getting a friend to help me trade them over.

bionicjoey, to risa in The fact that Trepanation For Thou Also? III came before II or I is really a bold move on their part

I’ve only seen LD, TOS, TNG, DS9, and VOY. But this all seems accurate.

Throbbing_Banjo, (edited ) to risa in The fact that Trepanation For Thou Also? III came before II or I is really a bold move on their part

Okay, what am I missing? I’ve been looking at this for several minutes and feel like I’m having a stroke.

clay_pidgin,

I’m pretty sure these are exemplars of episode naming schemes.

What do you expect the all-powerful amphibian to do with everyone’s clothes?

Just leave them on??!

It’s too late. I’ve seen everything.

inappropriatecontent,

It’s just an A.I. learning how to name Star Trek episodes.

Coming soon: A sequel called “Star Trek: Synths” about a ship of androids with one human–with a cast that is all Deepfakes except one human–written and produced by software and one human.

Unfortunately, by season four Discovery was just going with “Spaceship”.

Still a great cartoon

It’s funny, the thing that bugs me the most in this is the over-expressivism of Threepio’s movements. He bulges and wobbles exactly like Anthony Daniels’ character doesn’t. Giving him more restrained motions would likely be easier animation.

Loved this show as a kid, but I’ve got a hunch I would find it unwatchable now.

Are those egg yolks in the second photo? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before

MedicPigBabySaver,

Quails egg. Very common with Uni.

bstix,

Not OP, but yes. Japan doesn’t have salmonella issues, so they put raw egg on everything.

jak,

Japan absolutely has historically had salmonella issues, but they’ve done incredible work in the last thirty years, bringing their rate down by a lot. I don’t know how if the use of raw egg was rare when the salmonella rates were much higher though.

Consumption of turtle meat and chicken sashimi also plays a role in salmonella cases in Japan, but those foods are less common worldwide.

tigeruppercut,

Turtle meat and chicken sashimi aren’t very common in Japan either. You wouldn’t pick an izakaya at random and expect either of those on the menu

Mmmm, gonads and ova 🤤

mephiska, to foodporn in [I ate] Sushi

That’s not sushi. That’s seared ahi tuna over what looks like fried rice noodles with sauce.

littletoolshed,

In the first picture, yes. But the subsequent photos are sushi

crusa187,

Also some sashimi in the 3rd photo

tenacious_mucus,

I came here to say the same thing (not sushi) then saw the other pictures. Okay, fine, downvote removed, lol.

Reverendender,

Your instincts were right. You can’t let them get away with that.

I’m guessing that’s this restaurant’s take on Tuna Tataki

Lord I love sushi

MedicPigBabySaver,

So many great combos. I’m taking a sushi making class in a few weeks.

That’s actually cool as hell I have never even attempted on my own. I did watch a video once.

MedicPigBabySaver,

Should be fun.

Dear MedicPigBabySaver,

It would behoove you to take pics of the entrées, then share them with us, or we’ll say that it never occurred.

Sincerely,

Captain Raymond Holt

P.S. Your username is ridiculous on its face. I recommend that you consider changing it to something more appropriate.

MedicPigBabySaver,

Do you not see 3 photos? That’s all my own food.

SayJess,
@SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Dear MedicPigBabySaver,

It appears my ability to comprehend what I read, and also see, is severely lacking. In light of my new found understanding, your food looks appetizing; one might even say beautiful.

Sincerely,

Captain Raymond Holt
