  • You are likely to only refer more than current era. If you're writing govmet grant application, renewing licence or certificate, chances are you mention events hapenned in previous era. You look up table for when the previous era started and ended, which era said year falls into, then convert for each year, each era. Extra minutes wasted every time instead of simply writing in Gregorian year.

  • Reiwa era enters the chat

    Most of Japanese hates the arbitary currender year resetting at each new emperor enthronrment. The conversion is ass and no one knows when it changes (bound to emperor's health) . Worst is its official year that govmt body accepts.

  • I only encountered once, but when it happened I had to realize how old science field may have been different. The exact detail I was looking for should be in [20] ... but "[20] to be published" (presumably by the same author). I couldn't find any papers by author's name other than that but the author was so sure getting published.

  • And all the mining waste are dumped in space, where people thought out of human's reach so it's safe to leave it there, until proven otherwise. I may be pessimistic, but if such technological advance made it will likely expand region of human activity and thus history repeats.

  • What I hear is mostly water pipes. Commercial buildings have them concentrated in bathrooms and hard to split for each residence.

    I know there are bathroom less really cheap places but that attract type of people which property management/urban development corps dont want so they may also be reluctant for that change.

  • Your own learning resources + Anki.

    However, this requires significantly larger amount of work compared to said learning apps, which has establisged learning course in form of easily digestable chunk.

    You need to digest textbook and such on your own into small chunks, then Anki cards. It's essentially building course by yourself.

    Fluent Forever from Gabriel Wymer gives some idea on how to utilize Anki, though the author moved to build his own closed source app.

  • It's from Kight Scoop which takes requests from viewers. This episode was aired in 2020 that a girl requested to date Godzilla bcs she deeply, romantically loves Godzilla. I haven't seen it but it seems this clip is the end of the date she proposing him.

  • I always check price/weight, and its increase has been ridiculous. For ones that don't increase price also taste different, sadly. The best way to detect real value vs. price is look into nutrition tables but I don't have the all database memorized lol so they'll get away with it. :/

  • IP certainly means protection, though it favors big corps than individuals.

    I'm all for those creative professionals. I get why people are upset about their work being used without their consent, especially from people who contracted to provide their work. It's been used to exactly cut such jobs against them.

    But to combat the situation tighting IP law doesn't seem to be the right tool.

  • Artists, writers, creative professionals arguments on generative AI being copyright infringement is moot. They should simply rally with underpaid third-world AI training (tagging) personel to ask for labour compensation, maybe proposing continuous micropayment for individuals.

  • I used zoom for some hobby online meetups. The majority used zoom. I'm assuming that it's organizer's choice, which they're familiar at work. I'd love to spread a word for FOSS alternatives, but sadly I'm not the person organizes events.

    The thing is for most people zoom is equivalent of video conference. Zoom has soared its publicity in WFH era, and Zoom decides to (like every corporation does) utilize it, milking every possible profit from it.

  • I looked for safety topic and found almost none (just brief mention in introduction). This research's scope is mental health so it's understandably out of their scope, but endorsing something should always weight both benefit and risks.

    Natural water body never guaranteed to be safe, no matter how it looks on surface. Many lives lost because of OWS every year. Personal floating jacket is bare minimum, won't guarantee safety either.

  • IMO whether we're fucked or not is not a constructive argument.

    In either case, the interpretation of climate change can lead to the same conclusion: a) we're fucked up to the point of no return. So we can keep our wasteful society as is until we extinct, because changing our society will not achieve anything. b) we're not in that bad situation so we can keep our wasteful society as is until the situation gets really bad and requires change.

    Anything could be used to justify not making changes and majority of society/indistry ppl in power are super resistant to it (which likely reduces their profit).

    In reality, it's not black and white. Even if the 'no return' scenario is real, we can still lessen the climate change effect or delay catastrophic end if we make changes now.

  • AC could die all of the sudden too. One of my friends had it last summer in Tokyo, had to spend week w/o AC. It happened when he was awake in the morning, but I heard other horror stories of AC stopped at night and waking up with severe dehydration symptoms.
