Faster Than The Bear Edition
Anime of the day is Keroro Gunso, a.k.a Sgt. Frog, which ran for 358 episodes and five movies from 2004 to 2011. The manga for it in fact is still running today.
It tells the story of an alien invasion that doesn't go entirely as the conquerors had planned, when the invasion force turns out to be five small frogs who are bullied into submission by a teenage girl.

And it's proof that there are worse hosts for open-source projects than Oracle, who, amazingly, still haven't ruined MySQL. I mean, it has some - quirks, shall we say - but it's still free.

Buying a GPU used by a Chinese farm for crypto-mining seems like a bad idea. (You could remove the words "by a Chinese farm", too.)
