Does the patient have pressured speech or not?

I'm trying to identify a cartoon short (color - probably Merrie Melodies/Looney Tunes from the 1940s). The main character is a small, sad, lonely mouse with a high-pitched voice, who talks to himself/laments. He repeats the phrase "wirra, wirra, wirra" (an old Irish exclamation of grief, like "alas, alas"). Saw it on TV in the early 1970s.

Note: I just skimmed through every "Sniffles" cartoon, but I could not find an instance oh him saying, "Oh, wirra, wirra, wirra".

A coworker of mine hit upon an odd error today while writing a query: "WHERE not supported after FROM query: Consider using pipe operator"

???

After a quick trip to Google, we discovered something unexpected: BigQuery supports something called “Pipe Syntax.” And it’s actually pretty cool.

I have another coworker (the kind that thinks every field should be a STRING) who (one day) started loading decimal-formatted strings into a critical table, which promptly broke a bunch of downstream queries. I needed a quick fix for inconsistent values like '202413.0', so I implemented a data cleansing step:

Here's the original fix in standard SQL syntax:

WITH period_tbl AS (
  SELECT '20241

Please forgive me if this is a repeat question: I uploaded an 8K (HEVC) VR180 video to YouTube almost a week ago (Feb 27th 2025), but it will only stream at 4K (max). Is DeoVR my only reliable option for hosting VR180 videos in 8K?

I've been experimenting a bit with using software to coerce the 8K 30fps videos to 60fps. First, I joined a patreon and tried FlowframesInstaller1.41.0. It failed for me. Next, I bought "FrameFusion Motion Interpolation" (on Steam) for $6.99. (There's a free demo available.) I took one of the post-VR180 converted files (directly from the KDOutput folder) and ran it through the software (using the VP9 codec - not AV1, which the Quest 3 can't easily handle). The results were impressive.

Notes: 1) Reviewing the output, frame-by-frame, it's easy to recognize the interpolated frames. They are far from perfect - with instances of weird geometry - but, in motion, things looks great.
