The joke about the chicken is interesting to me. I see to your point, the joke leans to imply that Chinese people will lie about the ingredients served in their restaurants to save some money. This stereotype, however, is predominant amongs

Its interesting because I've looked into these "automated prescription" telehealth services for a year now without much luck. I have prescription OCD meds that I've been on for a couple of years. I pay 100 USD out of poc

Grammar rules start by learning verb conjugations, these can be learned through tables, although there are some exceptions you will have to learn individually. This is an excellent free tool for practicing those (not mine, just something I&

Sure! One more note that you may or may not be aware of: Culture and language are closely intertwined, they drive each other, and Japanese is certainly no exception to this. Japanese isn't spoken as literally or certainly as English is

1. Hiragana/katakana can be learned in a week or two using flash cards and spaced repetition. It can be mastered through reading Japanese text for a few months to the point where you stop thinking about it. You don't need a $77 bo

I looked through the first 4 pages and its cute! I think this could certainly be helpful to someone getting their feet wet with really studying the language. One of the reasons I tend to hold MNN as gospel is the way that it doesn't tr

Only with Kanji. Many share the same meaning, and onyomi reading often sounds a little bit like modern mandarin, but the kunyomi readings are exclusively Japanese and you'll have to memorize those separately (Wanikani was helpful for m

I started studying Japanese in 2020 with 「みんなの日本語」(Minna no Nihongo). The book is entirely in Japanese and only assumes that you can read hiragana/katakana and have access to a dictionary for JP -> your native language. The book als

I don't think that calling someone what they prefer to be called is a political issue. I personally don't know any right-wingers that wouldn't call you by the name/gender that you request them to. These people probably e

I don't understand how they got a network connection to load in the chat on an unmodified console. Was the TASBot connected to the network and pushing the messages via controller inputs? If so that is pretty insane.

> The Chinese government is an adversary of the West whether we like it or not. I'd like to se a source on this. I don't think different political ideologies imply adversarial intentions. China has been as friendly to the west

In the same boat, from talking to higher up recruiting people at AWS it sounds like a lot of their cold leads are handled by recruiter contractors. These contractors (usually overseas) are paid mostly on commission and there are thousands o

Note that for many languages a flag is not displayed rather a symbol. Chinese languages in particular follow this (拼 for simplified pinyin, 注 for traditional zhuyin). Also Japanese never displayed a flag (あ for hiragana, ア for katakana). I

Couldn't browsers just designate the .local tld to not check for SSL certs and enforce that it resolves to an IP on the current network? Seems like a simple solution for this.

When I was in college my friend figured out a major fast food chain had a flaw in its API with the way it validated coupon codes. The server validated that the coupon code was legitimate, but the actual discount value of the coupon code was

That account still spews misinformation, encourages continued invasions of Ukraine, and condones violence responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians. These are in direct violation of Twitter ToS but they only enforce that

It is funny to me that Putin has remained while Trump is still banned. Goes to show you what the twitter administration _truly_ cares about. I just wish they could be a little more consistent with things like this.

Oh, I was under the impression that this was something new. Should have actually checked the repo first I suppose.
