He kept raving about seeing an Insulindian Phasmid, and wouldn't shut up about leftist theory.

Yeah, I had to do some work up there recently and it was so depressing.

Abraham Lincoln sent faxes! Ancient tech.

It's pretty janky in my experience. I use sunshine, works a lot better.

がんばいます！

I appreciate the feedback, this Anki deck should hopefully get my vocabulary to that point. I am actually pretty good at getting the meaning usually and the readings are the tough part, so I'm doing okay I guess. It just feels like a lot, but that's true of any language I suppose. I've learned a lot in the last few months. Thanks for the encouragement!

I started with Duolingo and while it has all the regular duo problems, I think it actually does a good job with the kana stuff. You can turn off the Romaji too, forcing yourself to read. It doesn't teach grammar, though, so I bought Genki Vol 1, working my way through that, and wotaku.wiki has a lot of good resources.

I really like the Cure Dolly stuff for grammar (though she can be difficult to understand, use the youtube transcripts or if you prefer reading a book someone helpfully wrote it all up). Her approach is totally different from the Genki methods, but I find it easier to understand.

I am also using Anki with the Kaishi 1.5k Kanji deck for kanji and vocabulary. This is honestly pretty painful, I've been doing it for like 10 days now and I feel like I'm doing badly every time, but I am improving. I could probably stand to study the radical stuff to understand more how the kanji is constructed but I haven't found a good resource for that just yet.

Watashi mo, but getting better every day.

こんにちは！日本語を勉強しています！

I'm 90 days into learning Japanese. Most of that has been learning kana and I'm now working on kanji and grammar. It's very different from English but I really like the way information is conveyed. I'm struggling with grammar stuff right now pretty bad, particularly conjugation, but it'll click eventually. Also the lack of spaces is definitely something to get used to.

I sing this song (well, actually the Wall of Voodoo cover usually) on the toilet after Mexican food gets the best of me.

Yeah, I've tried the user mapping and doesn't seem to do anything. Haven't put them in the env since this started happening though I can try that, thanks for the reminder.

I can hear Henry's sweat

I mean, that's fucking weird though. If I said that shit at work I'd get a talking to from HR.

I up voted you, but I struggled to do so. I'm a year out of a... difficult relationship, and this is exactly right.

She eventually dumped me for the Dweezil. Probably for the best.

One of them is rich.

Lol I thought that's where I was

I love spicy foods and they don't upset my stomach. Though I did eat one of those "one chip challenge" things back in the day and I did fine at the time but the next two days or so I felt like I had been poisoned. Only time that ever happened to me. You probably have a threshold too but it's just very high. Genetics and practice helps, your gut biome critters are probably used to it too.

The EFCore change is pretty big. They're basically changing how the data is accessed from the database so that would touch most of the software, so potential for new issues is fairly high. Hopefully it will improve performance and concurrency. If you are not comfortable with potential issues, I'd hold off on updating for a while.

For big chunks of your history you're the greatest military force in Europe, but you lose to methed up racists one time
