- Comment on Where should I ask for help deleting an account for a Japanese website? 5 months ago:
I didn't see it in the search. They may use other terms like 閉める or something, but we have no legal requirement here that I know of to allow for account deletion. No company I worked for did until we wanted to do business where things like GDPR (I think it's called) is a thing.
- Comment on Where should I ask for help deleting an account for a Japanese website? 5 months ago:
It can mean delete in some contexts.
- Comment on Where should I ask for help deleting an account for a Japanese website? 5 months ago:
last I checked, FF doesn't have support for full-page translation of Japanese. It's basically the only reason I still use Chrome sometimes.

You could try looking for 消去 but I didn't see anything with a google site search. I'm not going to visit the actual site.

There could be a major road just out of frame. The trees are probably for a combination of windbreak (especially if this is amidst long stretches of open land), shade, and maybe privacy.
- Comment on Why English language is sometimes "lazy", sometimes not 5 months ago:
A lot of the top set come from latin and/or french (sometimes borrowed from one into the other first). Lots of words around the legal system, government, nobility, etc. come from those roots. Many from the Norman conquest but some earlier. Some even got borrowed in twice (not french but both shirt and skirt are borrowings of the same word at different times).
A lot of diplomacy was also french be cause that was the language for diplomacy for a long time. For some sciences, it was German.
A lot of the more working-class, I guess, and later words follow the old Germanic patterns (the base of a lot of old English coming from Anglo-Saxon and, to a lesser degree, old Norse)

I prefer 'cubiform', but I never realized that cubicle could be an adjective.
- Comment on Is it generally safe to walk through a field of cows? 5 months ago:
If I have to give only a binary yes/no answer, the answer is no. In reality, there are lots of variables ranging from breed, pen size, herd makeup, season, socialization, hunger, weather, and even more that would factor in. That's without considering the other variable of you as a person they don't know.
- Comment on I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07. 5 months ago:
Me, living in Japan: that's cheap for pizza and a side!
Not even any places deliver to where I live now so I have to drive a couple towns over.
- Comment on Tea Time 5 months ago:
As the other person mentioned, the base of pho is the stock which includes steeped plants. So it's tea with some other things thrown in it.
- Comment on Tea Time 5 months ago:
Pho is just animal oil/juice suspended. Everything else is like milk, honey, lemon, sugar, etc. that people do consume in tea.
- Comment on Missing cold pizza 6 months ago:
Are refills free? If so, I'm fine at $1 most days.
Also, where are: plain pancakes, sausage gravy, waffles, and anything remotely resembling something other than "northern US white people food" for lack of a better term.
- Comment on Anon watches a vtuber 6 months ago:
Oh yeah, I wouldn't want to ban it or anything; people should enjoy what they enjoy. I was just wondering if it had the same effect on anyone else.
- Comment on Anon watches a vtuber 6 months ago:
I don't know why, but every time I see someone streaming with an avatar moving, emoting, and talking rather than either a person or nothing, it's really uncanny valley to me. I don't know why, but it creeps me out and I can't watch it.
- Comment on DOOM: The Dark Ages | Official Trailer 1 (4K) | Coming 2025 6 months ago:
I liked it (well, after the Duct Tape mod, anyway) and enjoyed having more lore and info. It definitely doesn't feel like a normal doom game, though, so I'll give it that.

How would you even measure "They are more intuitive and closer to the 'feeling'". It's not. You're used to it. No one else in the world that grew up with C is going to find F more intuitive. Neither miles.
- Comment on Everyday, as an American 6 months ago:
Yep, this is why all the buildings spontaneously exploded in places that changed to metric. /s
Things get phased out. Certain buildings will adhere to old code and new ones would adhere to new codes in metric.
- Comment on Am I ruining my liver? 6 months ago:
I have some chronic pain issues as well, some of which were solved and some are managed. I'm sorry you're going through this. Have you tried getting a second opinion or maybe a different type of medical provider? I had headaches as well that turned out to be largely brought on by stress and also some bad posture. I did get an MRI+MRA just to be sure nothing was actually wrong in the brain itself, but techniques to reduce the causes were helpful to me. Good luck!
- Comment on Am I ruining my liver? 6 months ago:
Wrong question, I would argue. If you have a morning headache, you should really find the root of that and try to resolve it making the medication unnecessary.
- Comment on Reform UK pulls to within two points of Tories in latest YouGov poll 6 months ago:
way too many people are Republican or Democrat people
We don't have the same kind of proportional representation, are nearly 100% first-past-the-post, and there are in-built advantages to the two major parties. Because of the shitty system, presidential elections generally necessitate voting for one or the other or the vote is split enough that one of those two that didn't have votes siphoned off wins.
At more local/regional levels, there are other parties out there that can be viable. We have primary elections (I'm not sure what the UK equivalent would be) and I know that some people are voting outside of the two main parties there. However, when the actual election comes, it's almost always two candidates and almost always from those two parties so it's voting for the least-worst. It sucks.

Can you do the can can whilst canning peas and drinking a can of monster all whilst on the can?

"energy-drink-can-sized hail..." is how I would have written it. Or, y'know, used numbers like a sane person.
- Comment on There's no such thing as too much garlic 6 months ago:
The problem here is clearly the other food getting in the way of your garlic. Just eat the garlic.
- Comment on Who doesn't love Kit Kat's? 6 months ago:
I couldn't turn up anything else in a quick search. There are a lot of regional and seasonal limited flavors that come and go, though, so who knows.

- Comment on [US] I'm hesitating launching my own business because I'd lose health insurance for my family. What are my options? 6 months ago:
Does your idea only work in the US? Can you move to a country that's, y'know, more sane with healthcare (and I say this as a former US healthcare IT worker now living in another country).
- Comment on Gen alpha has no fucking clue 6 months ago:
I was literally looking to buy one since I just bought a house and need to use one.
- Comment on What are some eras of gaming that you've stopped feeling nostalgic for? 6 months ago:
I never played n64 (except maybe a couple rounds of Mario kart, but that may have been gamecube). I tried to play ZOoT, goldeneye, etc. and found the controls and camera awful. With no nostalgia for it, I was out in about 30 minutes (I think less on goldeneye be cause of that abomination of a controller).
- Comment on Images leak of Valve's next game, and it's an Overwatch-style hero shooter 7 months ago:
Same. Something I can play, save anywhere to deal with life, and pick back up when time allows. I was one of those weirdos who really enjoyed Doom 3 when it came out (with the ducttape mod; that was one mechanic I didn't like) and grew up on old Commodore, Amiga, and PC single-player games and NES/SNES/Genisis RPGs. I want that again.
