New study finds that women born in the most sexist U.S. states experienced faster memory decline in later years compared to women born in the least sexist states. The difference was equivalent to nine years of cognitive aging.

Preparations for the New Year in Japan begin on December 13th, 'Shōgatsu-goto Hajime' (正月事始め).

Fighting on Mist World. The usual. What else is new, the same old dramas get re-hashed, the same conversations happen again and again as new players join it. And then we have this masterpiece of an AI song about Admin 6, created by one of the players (Ginger) and for anyone not playing the game, hearing it should help them to know why you might want to wait with such horrible staff support.

Warning: loud noises. So I tried out the bestspeech addon for NVDA released by @Tamasg for fun. Unfortunately, if I arrow up and down quickly on a webpage, this is what it frequently does. Sorry for the echo and horrible clipping, I had to shout over the noises, and the setup to record this wasn't ideal. But I haven't heard a computer make these noises in ages!

loool that totally sounds like the pointer fried your memory horribly. And NVDA didn't reboot itself, just reset the speech synth after all that even? I've never heard eloquence samples in the corruption, wow. You can try the -older version of the add-on but since more people saw issues when we weren't using the thread executor to try and avoid race conditions I don't think you'll find it much better. We'll see how badly the 2025.1 version changes things, ironically yeah for BestSpeech the add-on changes might be more minimal, and at least the newer eloq drivers are able to play through Wasapi on Nvwave output devices, so I'm hoping they'll stay good.

So oddly, that only happens on my Intel Microsoft Surface laptop. It's fine on my AMD Framework Laptop. But just pressing the up and down arrows quickly on a webpage on my surface can get that to happen every time, howling squeaking random eloquence samples and all. A sighted person tells me that the "okay" button eloquence tries to read is for a dialogue that says "The instruction at {random numbers} referenced memory at {random numbers}. The memory could not be written. Click on OK to terminate the program." But if I don't press okay NVDA just fixes itself and comes back.

oooh that's interesting. with this newer thread executor model, I've actually gotten myself to switch back to Eloquence while the loud sounds were happening, and it would continue to play them on that other thread whilst Eloq just happily spoke along. One of the most baffling experiences in this for sure, so at least I'm thinking the newer driver does more to prevent NVDA's main thread from frying and keep it more in the DLL lock.

so to do it, make sure this function is defined as returning these:
```def terminate():
global bgt, player, dll, handle
```
And then add this towards the end:
``` if dll and hasattr(dll, '_handle'):
ctypes.windll.kernel32.FreeLibrary(dll._handle)
dll = None
handle = None
```
(be sure to re-indent as needed) - this should close the dll for you every time you switch synths.
Oh yes, looks like this part of the driver is not in the base driver code, so the file with the underscore before it.
