I think the hangup is why is there an "it" that's doing the raining. My wife had trouble remembering that as well since we would either just say 'rain' or 'rain falls' in her language

Most languages don't need a dummy subject to do the raining. Whilst "it's raining" may seem natural to people who grew up speaking English (or indeed several Germanic or romance la guages) it's far from universal.

Technically a commodore vic-20 but I remember the c64 better

I got one that uses the same battery system some other tools (lawnmower, strimmer, drill) uses and oh baby it's nice.

Although insta has been making inroads, it was the default in Japan for a long time for govt info, shop notifications (bars, art galleries, you name it), as well as other customer interaction.

I've eaten insects without meat being banned.

Thanks for the info!

Which language(s) have <type>? now? Is that a new Java thing? JS/TS thing? I've never seen it.

Edit: formatting

Having lived in Japan for a decade, I feel dirty whenever I don't use a washlet. Plenty of places in Japan still don't have them, though. A lot of places still have squat toilets, even, especially the more rural you get. Where I last lived in Tokyo, the park by my house had squat toilets (and a urinal that was basically just kinda out there which was a little surprising but not uncommon at smaller Japanese parks).

That reminds me; I need to buy a portable washlet since I'll be traveling.

I'm a fan of ISO-8601 which is YYYY-MM-DD. When context is known, dropping the year on something is fine (i.e. if I post a schedule saying 'summer 2025 schedule', I don't need to start every date on it with 2025). Japanese does this as well (and I think Chinese and Korean, but someone is welcome to correct me if I'm wrong there).

If the year and month are already known, just using the day is fine as well (a calendar doesn't write the full date in every square). Having it in that order makes sense to me.

MM-DD-YYYY is right out, though, so I only agree with the 'muricans on the MM-DD part.

If I kept chickens, I would have a net over (we have hawks and other aerial predators as well) to avoid the situation, but if something somehow snuck in, this would be a good thing in my opinion.

I didn't take it to mean that the AI was exclusively trained on their own images, but good on them if they are.

mine is 5m, 1h, 2h, 1d, 4w, custom on gcal on a pixel. It might be based on commonly-chosen ones to some degree, but I rarely, if ever, have selected 5m so I'm not sure.

I tried to daily drive Linux. Updated mint and I had to manually fix stuff to even complete the upgrade. My video editing software, required for one of my jobs, no longer worked. At that point, I ran out of time to mess with it and am, at least for the time being, back on windows

Born? US. I've been living for the last decade in Japan.

In Tokyo, there are buildings for musicians that have better soundproofing and also studio spaces that can be rented, such as hourly, that are also soundproofed.

The government sites rely on being able to use Chrome extensions, sadly, so it seems we're out of luck there.

I lived in Texas for a number of years and that place is super overrated. I don't think it's the worst place, but ended up disappointed because of all the hype vs what I got. Shake shack was the same to a lesser degree. Still have never had in-and-out.

Doesn't work at all on mobile yet and it's pretty bad for desktop. The first time I tried it, it couldn't even get the grammar of who was doing what to whom correct (it was about a court case and totally mixed up all the parties). Since I can read some and just rely on it for more legal/medical things, I need to have quite good accuracy. Legalese is at least as awful in Japanese as in English.

The AI used was likely trained on sets of data without the consent nor compensation of the people whose works were used.
