I fʊcking adore that song!
The only two mixes I found only had the vocals synced, so I decided to craft my own mix, and with the new and improved audacity, it was more satisfying than I though! XD
As a kid, I played Sonic Adventure and absolutely adored Open Your Heart and the final boss Perfect Chaos, I would put the song on repeat on my Dreamcast for hours! XD
But I disliked the designs of the characters besides perfect Chaos’s for being too cartoony for my tastes, which brings me to when the first more “realistic” design for that Sonic movie.
It looked like a halfling in a costume, XD and I made up the rule that Sonic’s head and legs must not be humanoid!
Experimenting a bit, I found out that his face realistically looks like that of a bear’s with a short muzzle, so there I went! XD
He actually looks kinda like a teddy bear, pretty cute!
Humanoid torso and arms for him worked, so for his legs, at first I thought of ostrich legs but that looked ridiculous, and I quickly moved away to something else.
Until today, or more exactly, yesterday I think, when I was sketching this new artwork and I remembered the maned wolf!
With elongated digits and a longer tail for balance, as well as an avian pelvis to avoid giving him a mammalian arse or a glaring nothing, XD and we’ve transcended the species of hedgehog! XD
Lastly, a realistic Sonic would not be blue or azur or whatever spectrum , so I coloured him a dark grey and had his spines reflect blue light from the sun like a blue macaw! XD
But realism is awful without any fantastical elements, so Sonic wields lightning and can conjure a glaive of lightning!
He can also only perform short bursts of near-sound speeds with lightning, but otherwise, I’d say realistic Sonic can reach the top speed of a cheetah.
And he would have a proper name, and I already made up one, Kairinazumi, combining the Japanese words for hedgehog and wind, meanwhile, “Sonic” would be his nickname.
And he’d have a healthy diet, whilst a mix of his Japanese and American personalities could work!
Otherwise, for some reason I liked the idea of Chaos having babirusa fangs! XD
Somehow, white glowing pupils over a saturated iris really brings out the madness in a being!
I imagine after Sonic pommels the madness out of Chaos, the both of them become good friends, XD which makes sense, considering Chaos wasn’t himself and wasn’t giving Sonic any other choice.
Chaos would be able to take on his titanic serpent form at will, with black pupils and a more floral green energy than radioactive one.

GNU Parallel – For people who live life in the parallel lane.
If you like GNU Parallel record a video testimonial: Say who you are, what you use GNU Parallel for, how it helps you, and what you like most about it. Include a command that uses GNU Parallel if you feel like it.
About GNU Parallel
GNU Parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel using one or more computers. A job can be a single command or a small script that has to be run for each of the lines in the input. The typical input is a list of files, a list of hosts, a list of users, a list of URLs, or a list of tables. A job can also be a command that reads from a pipe. GNU Parallel can then split the input and pipe it into commands in parallel.
If you use xargs and tee today you will find GNU Parallel very easy to use as GNU Parallel is written to have the same options as xargs. If you write loops in shell, you will find GNU Parallel may be able to replace most of the loops and make them run faster by running several jobs in parallel. GNU Parallel can even replace nested loops.
GNU Parallel makes sure output from the commands is the same output as you would get had you run the commands sequentially. This makes it possible to use output from GNU Parallel as input for other programs.
For example you can run this to convert all jpeg files into png and gif files and have a progress bar:
parallel –bar convert {1} {1.}.{2} ::: *.jpg ::: png gif
Or you can generate big, medium, and small thumbnails of all jpeg files in sub dirs:
find . -name ‘*.jpg’ |
parallel convert -geometry {2} {1} {1//}/thumb{2}_{1/} :::: – ::: 50 100 200

About GNU SQL
GNU sql aims to give a simple, unified interface for accessing databases through all the different databases’ command line clients. So far the focus has been on giving a common way to specify login information (protocol, username, password, hostname, and port number), size (database and table size), and running queries.
The database is addressed using a DBURL. If commands are left out you will get that database’s interactive shell.
When using GNU SQL for a publication please cite:

About GNU Niceload
GNU niceload slows down a program when the computer load average (or other system activity) is above a certain limit. When the limit is reached the program will be suspended for some time. If the limit is a soft limit the program will be allowed to run for short amounts of time before being suspended again. If the limit is a hard limit the program will only be allowed to run when the system is below the limit.
