After 18 years of striving, Dell Computer finally reached its long-stated goal to be the worldwide leader in computing systems Monday and promptly ceased operations.

“We did it,” founder and CEO Michael Dell said. “Back when I started this company, I vowed that I would not rest until we revolutionized the way computers are sold. Well, at long last, that day is here. Bye.”

When he launched the company in 1984, Dell drew up a lengthy list of longterm corporate goals. These included making Dell Computer the world’s most trusted name in computer systems, the industry leader for customer service and technical support, and a model for direct-order retail in the 21st century and beyond.

Millipedes possibly in the genus Barydesmus - not all confirmed! All found in Central and South America.

Millipedes are criminally understudied, so I think it’s unlikely these are all in the same genus, but they were too cool not to share anyway.

Could you review the shinies of the galar fossils?

Dracozolt: I'm not a big fan of the Galar fossils in general, but I'll admit, I do like the shinies. Maybe it's just because I feel like the original's color palettes are pretty garish, but the desaturated look really works for these guys, especially because it feels like it invokes the prehistoric animals they're based off of (not that prehistorical animals were inherently drab, just that they're depicted that way in fiction a lot).

Dracozolt might be the best of the four, as it maintains some contrast between the two halves and also has a nice pop of color with the lavender accents.

Arctozolt: The other thing that I like about these shinies is that they keep the halves consistent across all four instead of just randomizing it; so in this case, the -zolt head matches -zolt half of Dracozolt. If this was earlier Pokemon I feel like each one would be different, so props with consistency.

The body becomes a desaturated gray, which on the one hand matches the head nicely but on the other hand maybe doesn't look mismatched enough for the premise. The purple areas of the head also don't change in the same way that Dracozolt's red accents become blue, though it doesn't look bad either way.

Dracovish: Once again, Dracovish has the same palette as Dracozolt for the tail, which is good. The head is a sort of greenish gray color, which isn't bad but doesn't feel like a good match for the warm browns on the tail. It also has purple accents, though it's a little weird as they don't match the color distribution of the original palette (which would make the purple areas black) or all four species (as like the -zolts above, Arctovish and Dracovish both have the same purple accents). A seafoam green color might've made more sense just as a way to better match the greenish base and to differentiate between -zolt and -vish a bit more.

Arctovish: Once again, body parts are kept consistent swap-wise. My same comment about the purple parts applies, and I'm also noticing here that the purple feels like it vibrates a bit. It's fine, but it's probably the least impressive of the four.

Overall: Some pretty good shinies that offer a nice alternative to the brighter-colored standard versions. Dracozolt's shiny is the best of the bunch.
