It only bothered me because I saw that it was a school assignment and I thought it would be to a higher standard. In casual speech, I don’t really care unless the meaning is unclear.


I don’t knowingly use AI at all in my person life and projects (I say ‘knowingly’ since many products have it shoved inside now, but I disable all I see). At work, we have AI code reviews which, as a concept, I think is fine and useful.


Probably the Switch. It’s … fine, I guess? NES? Awsome. SNES? fantastic. GB? amazing for its time. Genesis was killer. Atari 2600 was huge in its day. The switch? Meh.
It doesn’t help that I’m generally unhappy with nintendo being a bunch of greedy fucks as I see it.


This is why I don’t use it for coding at all.
Shouldn’t it be ‘after having been together’?
What is ‘at the same time’ referring to in that sentence? They wanted to break up at the same time (as in both had the idea)? They wanted to break up at the same time on the clock to continue the theme of things being same-y?
The boy is due north of what? The place? The girl? Also, the girl should be wondering about her decision, I think.
(I don’t even speak English every day anymore, so I could be wrong).


I pronounce it ‘neesh’ as well, but we’re going to get into trouble if we pronounce everything with French/Norman/Latin routes the way it is (or was).


I used to walk by that building quite a bit. Place creeps me out (not for any supernatural reasons).


Wages have also mostly not kept up with inflation that went nuts starting around Covid times. Some companies have been doing raises, but a lot haven’t been able to keep up with inflation.


Is that an arvo-only activity, or is anytime OK?
Arvo is the one that took me the longest to figure out when first hearing it.


Why? In which situations would this be actually ambiguous and, in that set, in which situations would the disambiguation actually be necessary for some real reason?


I got noro when I was around 20 from food at a family gathering. I ended up in hospital on fluids because I could not drink anything and was vomiting at least once an hour and had diarrhea several times a day. I was so weak I could hardly move.


words are spelt
Words are not fish! /s
Spellings can help people understand a word they don’t know in some cases. This is especially true for Latin and Greek words in the language.
and pronounced
OK, whose pronunciation will it be? India probably turns out the most programmers who speak English these days, so enjoy your new spellings and entire new sounds and distinctions that don’t exist in your variety of English if it’s not that one already

Efficiency is also not always the goal, nor should it be. I also know a lot of software engineers whose ideas I wouldn’t trust running my kitchen let alone my language. You would, as other posters point out, probably be interested in conlangs.
I’ll open a bottle of something nice when this happens, along with doing a happy dance, but I think that cork is staying put for now.


I’ve been deeply disappointed by Take-Two and its CEO for years.


I was originally thinking of grabbing parts as they go on sale finally (this PC is from 2018ish, I think, and I guess I could upgrade some bits), but I think I’m just going to wait and get a laptop. In part because I do less gaming, the gaming is less intense, and I’m thinking about trying to spend part of the year living outside of Japan which would make the logistics of shipping a heavy full tower around (or even mid if I downsized) just too much of a headache. Still not 100% sure, though.


I went lemmy (very early, still with auto-refresh, etc.) for a very short time due to hating it to kbin, later mbin, and now piefed. I’m not sure if I like piefed better. I don’t care about mastodon or other similar platforms so that may change your decision.


This is not true everywhere as you say. I live in the countryside and we have no buses, a train that takes 50 minutes to walk to is cancelled a lot of the time in some seasons, and roads with no shoulder nor sidewalk where cars fly down at 20 over the posted speed limit.


Japanese moped laws cap them at 30 kph even. All ebikes must be peddle assist, may not have a throttle, and the assist will turn off at a designated speed (17kph I think?) as a point of reference.
Yep. Retirement investing is also a huge pain. Many things are PFICs which can take hours of work each to figure out how to fill in US forms for (and a punitive tax for your efforts), not all accounts are treated as tax-advantaged in both US and target country, etc. I will be renouncing when my parents pass (or I can convince them to GTFO, but that seems unlikely).
