The battle facilities in the mainline Pokémon games are funny because in most of the Pokémon world, battle facilities are skyscrapers, miniature cities, or fancy houses. You know, proper buildings. Battle facilities in the United States-inspired regions? A subway system and a giant tree.

Hey, where's that post from a while back about someone's idea for a dough puppy Pokémon that evolves into different things based on how long it's been "baking"?

It's like those Reddit posts where the OP apologizes for English not being their first language and they're writing more coherently than most people who grew up with it.

[more-than-a-princess]

@cadcnce​ asked:  📚 ─ to go to the library [ aight but Sonia dropping in while Wylan is doing a dramatic reading of a story for kiddos as part of a charity event, there's as much color commentary as there is text reading- ]

The Invitation meme - Accepting!

"While we are so appreciative of your time on this matter, Your Royal Highness, and your suggestion of a stand-in for the event today...well...we thought you should see it for yourself. Please, this way."

Sonia, her curiosity now highly piqued after two hours of negotiations with the capital's grandest public library (outside of the private one housed in Novoselic Castle) to restore some long-buried texts for the Family in exchange for a benefit gala to be held to show them off to the world, was more than happy for the diversion. The minute legal details would be seen to by her family's legal team, but the library did insist on the Royal Family's presence and patronage. The former would lead to the latter by no small amount of the aristocracy and newly rich alike in order to help several initiatives, one of which she'd asked Wylan to do in her stead that day. It was, at least, far more thrilling than keeping him behind closed doors and in a slew of history, culture, economic, and etiquette lectures, to name a few. After all, it was an audience Sonia hated to disappoint.

As she walked beside the head librarian, a balding man approaching seventy whom, when she was a child, had added a manga section at the young princess's insistence, Sonia smiled. They were approaching the children's section, a beloved part of the vast building for several reasons: it was one of the few places where food and drinks were allowed in limited quantities, it had a vast supply of beanbag chairs, pillows, and miniature tables stacked with various literary-themed toys to peruse, and perhaps most importantly, it had about thirty Novosonian children from a local orphanage, all crowded around one of the few adult-sized chairs in the area. One that, no doubt, was occupied by Wylan Rectur. The Princess of Novoselic and members of the library staff paused near several of the orphanage's dedicated caretakers. When she'd left Wylan in their care, they'd been apprehensive as they hadn't expected a foreign stranger to be reading to the children, especially when they'd expected the Princess herself to regale them with a tale of adventure and to engage them in lively conversation, something that took them out of the place they called home for a little while and gave them a chance to explore and dream, just a little bit: Sonia was good for that. Her life, in the eyes of 30 children aged 5 to 9, was a fairy tale.

What no one had anticipated, least of all Sonia herself, was just how flawlessly Wylan had given them the same opportunity: it looked as they'd caught the very end of the story as the captivated children had no sense of taking turns as they began their line of comments and questions.

"Okay, I don't wanna be on YouTube anymore when I grow up!" One boy wearing a Pokémon t-shirt declared. "I wanna be a pirate! Can you go to school to be a pirate, Mr. Wy?"

Meanwhile, one of the younger girls, with her brown hair in thick double-plaits and clutching a makango stuffed animal in one arm, gently tugged on Wylan's trouser leg. "Mr. Wy, when you read us the next story, you gotta do more voices!" She proclaimed with a smile, showing off one of the gaps in her teeth: a recently lost baby tooth. "Voices for all of the characters, and not just yours. Yours sounds funny though! Not like the teachers."

"Of course he doesn't sound like the teachers, idiot!" Another boy cut in: this one blond and skinny, with an exasperated frown. "He's from America. They talk different!"

"Leo!" The woman in charge of the orphanage reprimanded the young boy immediately. Sonia's amused smile faded a bit at the sharp tone, though the boy in question didn't shrink back in the least. "We do not use that word, how many times must I tell you!"

"But you use it. I heard you last week, you said the present was an idiot!"

"The present?" Sonia smiled, finally announcing her own entrance with a curious question. It was enough to make the children gasp, mollified as the Princess of Novoselic moved forward, giving Wylan a quick, amused smile before kneeling in front of Leo. "What sort of present, Leo?"

"W-well, that's obvious, Princess Sonia," He swallowed, clearly not expecting to be this close to the Princess, much less have her smile at him. He looked away, brown eyes shy as his cheeks turned pink. Clearly, he didn't want to point out how the Princess was, too, an idiot. "The Present! The King of America, where he's from!" He jabbed a finger towards Wylan to prove his point.

Sonia, thanks to years of having to maintain her composure, managed to choke back a laugh. The little boy clearly had confused the words for 'present' and 'president,' and no one was going to contradict him. Not when several other caretakers at the orphanage had directed much of the children's attention to a table in the back, now filled with platters of chocolate biscuits from the Castle, juice boxes, and milk. With solid pieces of milk chocolate pressed into a crumbly cookie, there likely wouldn't be a crumb left once the children were through. Just as well, Sonia smiled, as she was able to navigate the crowd of small readers to reach Wylan's side.

"It's nice to know our citizens aren't entirely impressed with the US President's visit to Novoselic," She murmured with a soft smile, "But in far better news, I see you've made quite a few new friends today. Are you ensuring my country's youngest citizens discover the merits of piracy? Maybe I should've brought eyepatches and plastic hooks instead of stuffed makangos and biscuits to today's reading!" She grinned, both amused and entirely serious. Not enough private donors supported the orphanages so the Royal Family did what they could to support the cause and encourage others to uplift those most in need in their communities. Thus, the upcoming exhibition. "You're so good with them, Mr. Wy, and they love your voices."

Alex Wild has discovered new rodeo ants in, of course, Texas.

The shiny little reddish Solenopsis ants grip tight and ride the backs of big queen ants of a different species. It’s not, however, just random piggyback fun.

The little riders hang on with mouthparts that have evolved a snug fit around the waist of a particular species’ much larger queen, says Wild, a naturalist who curates the insect collections for the University of Texas at Austin. The smaller hangers-on are queens themselves, but in Texas he has yet to find their workers. So royal-on-royal rodeos might let a tinier parasitic queen skip the costs of creating her own entourage and just live off food scammed from the big queen’s colony.

Scams are a basic risk of social living and its alluring concentrations of resources. “We humans build cities,” Wild says. “All sorts of things come to hang around.” Same for ant nests; queen riding unlocks those riches for grifters of diverse species.

Like human dwellings, certain ant nests even attract their own miniature roaches, which do some queen riding themselves. With chubby, wingless bodies, Attaphila fungicola roaches “look like little Pokémon figures,” Wild says. When a young fungus-growing ant queen flies out of her mother’s nest for that once-in-a-lifetime bout of aerial sex, a wingless roach can latch on for a ride and, with some parasite luck, hitchhike to new food bonanzas.

What have been called the world’s cutest roaches (two shown) have no wings but hitch rides on ant queens.

CREDIT: ALEX WILD

Wild coined the nickname “rodeo ant,” but even before his discovery, biologists knew of a few species that hugged the backs of other species’ queens and probably sneaked food. A parasitic ant now called Tetramorium inquilinum, first found in the Swiss Alps, grows long claws and a concave rear underside that fits easily against the curving back of a big queen.

That clinging free-loader isn’t a waist-grabber, but Florida researchers found two different kinds that are. Specimens are sparse though. A single queen, shorter than a rice grain, turned up in 1992, mouth-clamped around the skinny waist of an unrelated kind of big-headed ant (Pheidole). After 14 years without finding another specimen, the researchers — sounding almost apologetic — gave their lone find a species name (Solenopsis phoretica) and described it as best they could. Two years later, they did slightly better, naming a second species (S. enigmatica) based on two queens, plus a few worker ants from the island of Dominica in the West Indies.

Wild unexpectedly joined the quest for these elusive queen-riding ants one March morning in 2017.  “I wasn’t out there trying to discover anything,” he says. He was just stretching his legs at the Brackenridge Field Laboratory, an urban field station, reachable by Austin city bus. It was hardly unknown wilderness rustling with mysteries. Entomologists had worked over the ground for years.

For a break, “I walk the trails and … since I’m an ant biologist, flip over some stones to see what’s nesting under them,” Wild says. Under one sun-warmed stepping stone scurried a colony of a kind of big-headed ants. “I was most surprised to find something on the back of the queen ant,” he says.

That something was Texas rodeo ant new species No. 1. Still to be formally named, she’s a mouth-clamping Solenopsis ant, he reported on November 17 in St. Louis at Entomology 2019. The shape of her head and notched mouthparts allow a snug grip around the waist of the particular ant species she was riding. But now Wild was the one with the awkward single-specimen problem.

Eager for more rodeo ants, Wild urged students to leave no Brackenridge stone unturned. The particularly diligent Jen Schlauch finally found another very small, reddish ant riding on a larger, darker queen. That six-legged bronco being ridden, however, wasn’t the same kind of big-headed ant as the one parasitized by Wild’s queen.

When Wild got the little rider under the microscope, she also looked different from the rider he had found. The differences “are like — ‘Whoa!’” Wild says. Not subtle at all. The only two rodeo ants found so far in the same smallish field station appear to be different species themselves. The pattern emerging seems to be that rodeo-rider species tend to match their hapless mounts in hairiness and other textures that might give them an edge in stealing food. Scam artists, indeed.

[sigh-fii]

and now

a list of some Very Personal And Specific Things From Various Parts Of My Childhood That I Am Now Nostalgic For, For Better Or Worse

- the big trees in the centre of the elementary school yard that we would pretend was a forest home

- the miniature forest on the outskirts of the soccer field in the elementary school i was transferred to that had climbable trees and hand-painted totem poles

- all the right type (colloquially known as atrt)

- the EXTREMELY SLOW computers at every school ive ever attended (all of which in elementary were old macintosh desktops, most with the see-through plastic)

- trying (struggling) to play the games on the computers that looked pretty fun but were near impossible to play properly due to fps/outdated hardware

- there was this 3d platformer that gave off distinct a bug's life vibes but wasn't affiliated; a game i think was called rocket raptor where you were a dinosaur with a jetpack, super tux, which was literally a mario clone but with tux (the linux mascot) as the character, and a level creator, cro-mag rally (a caveman racing game that i figured out how to get out of bounds in), and boom (a bomberman clone with some SLAPPIN music)

- sneaking my game boy advance to school

- being always just a little bit behind all of my classmates technologically and being frustrated i had slightly "out of date" toys; i had no clue we were poor and my mum still tried to spoil me as best she could

- audio and video cassette........ specifically this pokémon gen 2 music tape, a tape full of dinosaur-related songs we'd rent from the library, and a mixtape my mum made me full of "girl power" music

- getting wi-fi for the first time and discovering flipnote hatena

- discovering rp through flipnote hatena chat rooms

- larping as pokémon at recess before i knew what larping was

- making ocs before i knew what ocs were

- SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR!!!!!!!

- mostly awful canadian children's programming

- trying to play my tamagotchi on the rainy car ride home with only the street lights to illuminate the screen and the patter of raindrops on the car windows

- feeling sad and not knowing why; thinking it was normal that i spent a week at my mum's house and then a week at my dad's

- bus rides with my afterschool program

- cable tv

What is Mobile Handheld Device?

A handheld device  is a pocket-sized computer that has an input/output interface, such as an external keyboard or a touch screen, and a display screen. According to this definition of handheld devices and gadgets, numerous appliances, such as a mobile phone, PDA, mobile PC, handheld game consoles, and so on, can be referred to be handheld.

There are many popular handheld devices, including:

Notebook PC \sUltra-Mobile PC

Personal digital assistant/Enterprise digital assistant for mobile PC

Calculator for graphing

portable computer (largely obsolete)

portable gaming systems

DS video game (NDS)

Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, and Game Boy Color

Sega PC Engine Game Gear GT

Mini Pokémon

NeoGeo Color and NeoGeo Pocket

GP2X/GP32 Atari Lynx Pandora

PlayStation Portable Gizmondo (PSP)

Media recorders for N-Gage

The advantages of gadgets and handheld devices

Handheld devices are now literally as common as oxygen, and this popularity transcends boundaries of age, class, sex, nation, race, and ethnicity. Even a roadside tea vendor can be seen happily speaking on a portable phone, while a busy CEO can be seen taking notes on a portable PDA. The fixed-line telephone is gradually being replaced by portable devices like the mobile, and this astonishing shift from the wired to the wireless world would not have been possible without the many advantages that handheld devices provide.

Mobile office: You can now carry your office with you thanks to portable gadgets like cellphones and PDAs. On your portable mobile devices, you can do a lot of things, such send and receive emails, browse the internet wirelessly at 3G rates, access protected business data through VPNs, edit files, and more. As a result, your ability to boost your productivity is no longer constrained by either size or mobility.

High Convenience: Wouldn't it be much more practical to simply keep a quick note on your PDA rather than going home to access your large machine? Modern mobile devices are capable of performing all the tasks that a desktop computer is capable of, plus more. GPS navigation services are built-in to modern cellphones like the iPhone, which was unimaginable just a few years ago.

New entertainment formats: As technology developed, processing power was incorporated into smaller, more portable devices. People no longer only watch movies on television or in theatres; instead, they enjoy digitally high-quality entertainment on the go with wide-screen mobile phones and Dolby surround sound.

Breaking the Communication Barrier: Snail mail used to be the only means of staying in touch with friends, family, and frequently, business associates as well. no longer. The communication barrier is now completely breached thanks to the numerous communication tools and technologies that are appearing nearly everyday. Today, you can simply "tweet" your status or purchase a train ticket while seated in a bus using your mobile device.

Holiday Nights, Merry and Bright

April may be the cruelest month, but December, the darkest, can feel unkind, too. New York, however, offers its own illumination during these long, blustery nights, and not just Rockefeller Center’s seasonal sparkle. Here’s a guide to some of the lavish light displays across the city, including twinkling and towering sculptures, Chinese-style lantern shows and giant menorahs. You will usually find food, entertainment and family activities here, as well as glowing LED artifice: fairy palaces, alluring sweets, roaring dinosaurs — and lots of pandas.

RanDalls Island Park

LuminoCity Festival

Imagine waking up inside an anime cartoon. LuminoCity, a 16-acre extravaganza, even has its own hero from another universe: Lumi, a magical light bulb. Resembling a benevolent Pokémon, Lumi appears — in lantern form — throughout the displays, offering amazed commentary in recorded, childlike narration. You (and he) explore the exhibits, which Xiaoyi Chen, LuminoCity’s founder, has patterned after the lantern festival in Zigong, China.

Sculpted in steel and covered in satin, LuminoCity’s enormous lanterns occupy environments like the Winter Fantasy, which includes Santa’s sleigh and a towering castle. The Wild Adventure features dinosaurs, as well as a miniature Bifengxia Panda Reserve. My favorite display was in the Sweet Dream environment: a giant waving cat — a symbol of good luck — surrounded by 12 smaller ones representing real feline Instagram stars. LuminoCity also offers performances, themed nights, a heated marketplace and shuttle bus service to and from 125th Street and Third Avenue in Manhattan. (But if you book the bus, wait on the street and not — as I did — on the avenue.) Through Jan. 5; luminocityfestival.com.

This 10-acre site is illuminating, and not only because of its more than 1,200 huge lanterns. As I traveled through the music-filled displays, I learned that the mythical Chinese phoenix has the face of a swallow and the tail of a fish, and that pandas spend 14 to 16 hours a day eating bamboo. In addition to exploring environments representing these and other creatures, visitors can stroll the Dinosaur Path, which includes lanterns of a Tyrannosaurus rex and a feather-crested velociraptor.

The festival, easily reached by a free shuttle bus from the Staten Island Ferry terminal, also appeals because of its location at the Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden. On Lantern Fest Fridays in December, the neighboring Staten Island Museum, Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art and Noble Maritime Collection stay open until 8 p.m. The festival also has a heated tent, outdoor live performances, a skating rink and the glittering Starry Alley, where eight marriage proposals were made last year. Through Jan. 12; 888-718-4253, nycwinterlanternfestival.com.

Brooklyn and Manhattan

Giant Menorahs

Hanukkah, which begins at sundown on Sunday, is the Jewish Festival of Lights. But while most menorahs softly illuminate homes, these two — in Grand Army Plaza, Brooklyn, and Grand Army Plaza, Manhattan — will light up the sky. Commemorating the ancient Hanukkah miracle, when one small container of oil used to rededicate the Jerusalem temple lasted for eight days, the enormous menorahs also burn oil, with glass chimneys to protect the flames. Lighting the lamps, each over 30 feet tall, is a feat itself, requiring cranes and lifts.

On Sunday at 4 p.m., crowds will gather in Brooklyn with Chabad of Park Slope for latkes and a concert by the Hasidic singer Yehuda Green, followed by the lighting of the first candle. At 5:30 p.m., Senator Chuck Schumer will accompany Rabbi Shmuel M. Butman, director of the Lubavitch Youth Organization, to do the honors in Manhattan, where revelers will also enjoy treats and Dovid Haziza’s music. Although all the menorahs’ candles won’t be ablaze until the festival’s eighth day — there are nightly festivities — this year the Manhattan lamp, decked in glittering rope lights, will be a brilliant beacon all week. Through Dec. 29; 646-298-9909, largestmenorah.com; 917-287-7770, chabad.org/5thavemenorah.

Bronx

Bronx Zoo Holiday Lights

The most dazzling animals I encountered here had no need of LED technology: They were Owlexandria, a fierce-looking spectacled owl, and Quincy, a resplendent Eurasian eagle owl, whose handler allows evening visitors to pose with them for pictures. Almost all other creatures at the after-hours Holiday Lights show, however, are luminescent creations, often accompanied by vivid wildlife sounds. Outlined in glittering lights, some appear to move or fly as a result of the sequenced illumination of different silhouettes. Others, like those along the Animal Lantern Safari trail — you enter through a sculptured shark’s belly — are silk-and-steel models whose wings or heads may subtly shift. (I especially enjoyed the lemurs in the trees.)

The zoo, which has revived Holiday Lights for the first time since 2007, also features roaming carolers, ice-carving demonstrations and a Christmas tree that’s a light show in itself. On Friday the zoo begins a festival within the festival: Ice Jubilee, which includes an ice throne, a 20-foot ice slide and, for adults weary of holiday shopping, an ice bar. Through Jan. 5; 718-220-5100, bronxzoo.com.

Manhattan

Luminaries

Dreaming of a tropical Christmas? Nestled among the palm trees in the airy Winter Garden at Brookfield Place, this light installation is entirely indoors. Designed by the LAB at Rockwell Group, the display consists of 647 acrylic LED lanterns in sherbet hues, suspended from the complex’s ceiling in a Mondrian-like grid. Every hour on the hour, shoppers and diners can watch digitally programmed light shows. The lanterns change color and intensity in dizzying patterns, while a seasonal soundtrack plays. But the installation’s greatest connection to the holidays is its three wishing stations. Touch one, and your “wish” initiates a miniature light show overhead. This artificial magic does real-world good: For every wish, Brookfield Place will donate $1, up to a total of $25,000, to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, a national research nonprofit. Through Jan. 3; 212-978-1673, bfplny.com.

This 700,000-square-foot event at Citi Field aims to be a theme park as much as a lantern show. To enter, you walk in loops around row after row of metal barriers, which would make sense if Hello Panda had lines like Disney World’s, but on the Sunday I visited, it didn’t. Once inside, you’re greeted by a gargantuan figure that resembles RoboCop transformed into a rodent. Representing the coming Year of the Rat, it’s one of more than 120 illuminated exhibits that include safari animals, a fairy castle, a massive Christmas tree, a menorah and a tunnel-like panda with a body like a glittering Slinky.

Screeching dinosaurs — animatronic rather than lanterns — attract children, who can also play on luminescent doughnut swings and a giant checkerboard that lights up in response. Heated tents shelter a food court, a performance stage with a dance floor, a ball-pit playground and what may be the festival’s most intriguing feature: booths where artisans practice traditional folk arts like paper cutting and sugar painting. Through Jan. 26; 718-886-8158, hellopandafest.com.
