  1. Not strictly calisthenic, but you can do a lot with bands as well.
  2. Just FYI that should be "Miyazaki and Kon", Satoshi is his first name.
  3. Earthsea was directed by another Miyazaki, namely Hayao's son Goro.
  4. If you actually check out the original 4chan post you can clearly see that it's about the first season. I'm not sure where you got the idea that it should be about the Endless 8, since you even admit yourself that it would make no sense.
  5. It sounds like you don't need or want a music player.
  6. > but it's way easier to just hit the light switch

    > to save you a net amount of... zero effort

    This is just not true. I have 7 lights in the room I'm in right now, and I want them to all turn on and off together. This was a huge pain before I had smart lights.

  7. You can group lights like this in Home Assistant.
  8. You can always edit the info on MusicBrainz if it's wrong, so that everyone else also can benefit from your fixes.
  9. I changed the batteries in my Sony WF-1000XM3 earbuds without too much trouble. Unfortunately I don't think you can easily replace the battery in the case, so I still had to charge the case pretty often.
  10. Do you feel like you shouldn't use it because of the author's politics? It's not like he gains anything from you using it. Even if he gained money from it I don't think there's any reason to believe he'd use that money to further those political opinions.
  11. Surely searing meat in butter would burn the butter?
  12. Do you think they should be paying for the videos you watch?
  13. Seems like a cool extension, but how come your website and legal documents are open source, but the actual add-on is not?
  14. Funnily enough I've always heard that referred to as a "coin pocket", but since I live in a country that has barely used cash for the last 10+ years I thought this was very anachronistic and started putting my keys in there.
  15. People (arguably) don't do it because it looks better, but to signal that they are in the know about fashion.
  16. > you’re somehow entitled to more of his lifetime dedicated to the features important to you personally.

    They never said this, only that developing a product to be used by a lot of people and completely disregarding a (arguably very common) use case is arrogant.

  17. Remembering the Kanji is for learning how to write kanji, which does help with reading as well, but that's not its primary purpose. If you actually do want to be able to write by hand (which I think most people (understandably) don't want to invest the time for), it's well worth the time investment.

    > it's not something you should spend your entire focus on before you start learning the actual language of Japanese This is also true. You can do both. In fact I think you /should/ do both, learning new vocabulary using the kanji you've learned so far to help motivate you to learn more. It's quite addicting when you can see your progress day-to-day.

  18. As @presentation already mentioned, Japanese pronunciation has more layers to it than you think.

    Additionally, I think a foreigner who actually puts time into practicing Chinese pronunciation can sound very close to native. Most people learning most languages seem to only aim for good enough pronunciation and then focus on acquiring vocabulary instead.

    I don't know what languages you speak, but I speak a good amount of Japanese and will occasionally have a hard time being understood in Japan, probably when the person I'm talking to is not used to talking to foreigners. On the other hand, I've had Chinese people compliment me on my Chinese, and I would not even pass HSK 1. From what I've heard from the Chinese people I've talked to you can get away with a lot of tonal mistakes and still be understood, although you will of course sound like a foreigner.

  19. Buy good rice. At the very least it has to be round grain. Wash the rice thoroughly. Use a little less water than you think you need. Experiment with different recipes for mixing vinegar/mirin/sugar, and save the one you like.

    It's not particularly hard, just takes some trial and error. If you already make good rice you are almost done already, then it's just down to flavoring.

  20. Do you know where I could read more about this (specifically suicide/offensive stuff). A cursory search only showed a scene being cut from 13 Reasons Why, but I would be very interested in learning more.
  21. You should do something with this! It sounds super cool, and there is definitely an unsolved problem waiting there for you.
  22. I'm super happy to see this project. I was thinking about doing something similar a while ago to use in flashcards. I find spaced repetition really useful in a lot of areas, but for math exercises it never really made sense as I would just memorize the answer rather than actually doing the calculation to see if I remember the steps! Ultimately I gave up as it felt like a way to procrastinate by doing something I like (programming) instead of something I don't really enjoy (math).

    I might poke around with this and Anki sometime though and see if I was onto something!

  23. Which university was this?
  24. Cartoon Modern was recently made available digitally, for free [1]. Well worth the download.
