Yeah, most of my knowledge on “Chinese” is from when i tried to learn Korean. Korean still lean on some Chinese characters (hanja?). Not for like “daily” reading/writing, but like, I remember newspaper articles would sometimes have the headlines in Chinese characters. They, of course, would use their Korean pronunciations, but there was no way to tell what that was from the character (unlike the rest of the Korean writing system, which uses an almost completely consistent phonetic alphabet).

I heard schools have largely moved away from Phonics, which is wild to me. That’s basically how reading was taught going back to at least medieval monks.
I hear they’re using a “look and see” method or something? Word is that its how the Chinese teach their students to read…but they don’t have an alphabet, so I don’t know how that’s supposed to work in English.
I have a relative who just retired from teaching and she says its a real mess in early education because of how badly this reading teaching method works, and its only worsening as students mature.

Just shitty 4chan slang.
Primary usage I’ve seen for it is sPoOpY sKeLeToNs.

Just engineering in general.
While my “google-fu” for finding resources is garbage, I have a cousin with nearly encyclopedic knowledge of engineering reference material. He’s sent me things for figuring out where is safe to hang hammock chairs, acceptable bolt dimension/materials for car applications, and a bunch of other crazy niche things.
That reference material for all this just exists and is generally just accessible still blows my mind.

Better question, why did it take us so long to come up with this.

Was not expecting an actually educational response to my meme of a comment, but boy is it delightful to receive.
Really appreciate the information!

that they used to consist of only the leg bits
Now I’m more confused. Are you saying they used to be, like, leg sleeves? Oh, and that’s what you would need to tie them to your shirt…man that’s weird…but I guess it’d be easier to weave 2 cylinders without the crotch bits.

There’s so much “wut” with this picture.

So found the Reddit reposting bot for it at !2westerneurope4u@lemmit.online (its just a not that reposts thing from Reddit).
!2westerneurope4u@reddthat.com looks more active. I’ll take a peek at it this weekend.

Don’t suppose they have a fediverse equivalent space?

I’ve found some of the more shit post focused communities to actually be useful (or at least I did back when i still used Reddit).
PrisonHooch had more helpful advice and recommendations than HomeBrewing; PoliticalCompassMemes actually allowed space for Leftists to debate the Far-Right; Cremposting was where you went to discuss your tinfoil hat theory’s on the works of Brandon Sanderson; etc. (I know there was a dozen or so of these I used to lean into, but those are the three that immediately come to mind).

Yes, this, 1000x this.
God the only thing it needs is multi threading (I acknowledge it’s an incredibly difficult thing to implement). But probably the oldest game I still regularly play. I’ve put at least 8000 hours into it since I first bought on 2016.
New DLC was just announced last Mk the too.

There is a key for — on my phone. Just hold down the - key and it pops up as an option — I use it all the time.

- Comment on Arts & STEM 5 weeks ago:
I agree.
The more wild version I saw of STEAM had Agriculture as the A. I also felt that was redundant since modern agriculture involves a lot of science (biology) and engineering (equipment).

If I like the Anime version of it enough, I’ll actually try Bb. I honestly never gave it a fair shot because of how controversial it was.

Keep up the good work my dude.

But as an extra layer, weren’t Dumbledore and Co in on Sirius being framed? I thought it was low key known that Sirius “being a bad guy” was just Ministry propaganda or whatever.

Derp, that’s what happens when you have to bounce between too many pages on mobile.
Thanks for the pointer!

Metric appears to end at 10^30, but even then, I think the better way to phrase that number would be 5,000 quetta-bytes
Tera = 10^12; Septillion = 10^21 Source

I would argue the traces on a PCB are the same as wires. They take the same form (highly conductive material thats insulated on all sides) and do the same thing (carry electrical signal between two devices with minimal interference)
- Comment on Anon makes life choices 3 months ago:
You’re not wrong. I make enough money at my current work that I’m hoping to be able to stop working w/i about 10 years (I’d be in my mid 40’s) and then go do some kind of outdoors work (ideally as a park ranger or game warden) where I’d be able to get back to my redneck roots and be away from the city 75% of the time.

I think thats a thesis that hasn’t been properly peer reviewed (though it does have some clinical evidence), which is to say its not widely accepted as a reason for it to exist (but that that may be changing).
