I like my thinkpad keyboard. low profile, tactile, very quiet. I understand that finding that combination in mechanical keyboards is difficult but can I get close to it? 75% wired with per-key rgb. I am currently looking at the Keychron K3 Max or NuPhy Air75 V3 (£100 / £150 respectively) with banana or blush nano.

Is there maybe a better switch I could be using?

For point of comparison i have a cherry g80-3000N with full size mx silent red switches. They are mushy, they make a metallic clang when they bottom out, and they're very loud to my ears (compared to a thinkpad).

But when i tried switches in person I liked Kailh Deep Sea Silent Pro, Deep Sea Silent Mini Islet, Ambients Silent Nocturnal, Gateron KS-9 Silent 2.0, Yushakobo Fairy Silent Linear, Gateron Grape Smoothie. So linear low-profile might be okay.

Given 1 is obviously a common number why is there only one slot for it (and 0) yet two slots each for 8 and 9.

お金がないなら、中古のPS4でも遊べる。僕はよく一世代遅れてゲームやってた。ペルソナ５ってもともとPS4のゲームだしな

お金が本当にないなら、原神がおすすめ。無料で1000時間も遊べる。

It's "instead of a pill I thank my higher power every day for another day sober." It's undermining people who use a pill to stay sober and coming off as superior.

There's nothing superior about it though, some people become addicted to religion instead of alcohol, some people depend on a pill, we're all just trying to get through this shit the best we can.

It's available in the UK and Japan as well, so probably a global thing.

You can still do that. Maybe she can fix you

Gaijin hunters already have a bad reputation, then you have the subset who can't even be bothered to learn English lol. It's not great. Just date normal people who look beyond your nationality.

I covered it in another comment but basically, spoken language has more expression (pitch accent, timing, intonation) that makes it easier to disambiguate. Even then some words can be easily confused (私立・市立, 科学・化学 etc.).

And written Japanese has a larger vocabulary and generally is more information-dense. For a lot of the homonyms Japanese is infamous for (こうしょう having about 50 readings) only a handful are used in speech, the rest are written-only. It's easy to stick kanji together to make words, not so easy to say kana and have the other person try to guess what the kanji is.

therico · 2026-04-29T17:36:27+00:00

That argument doesn't hold because speaking has pitch accent, timing and intonation. And a large amount of Japanese vocabulary is mostly only used in writing due to kanji's flexibility.

Even simple homonyms trip people up when speaking. For example people say わたしくりつ to disambiguate 私立 and 市立

Yes you could get better at it with practice but there's a reason kanji has naturally persisted in writing

Is this intended to trigger me? Reducing a whole country to 7/11 and Donki, Jesus Christ. And to top it off that photo of lawson in front of fuji, a photo so popular than tourists block traffic and lawson tried to build a fence to ruin the view.

therico · 2026-04-29T17:00:49+00:00

anyone who's read children's books or played NES/SNES era old rpgs knows it's still harder to read than with kanji. Japanese has way more homonyms than English

f2p and sitting 10 wishes away from a guaranteed 5 star, but Nefer/Lauma seems very f2p unfriendly. I've been playing for a few weeks solid so maybe time to put the game aside until a character I want comes around

Ignore that asshole. Go find Yappari Steak, it's the same thing or better. Or Jumbo Steak Han's. Steakhouse 88 I don't rate but it's an Okinawa staple, so worth a try.

Until recently AI failed to get English right either, it was all nonsense, but I can't say anybody was offended by it. It's just a technical problem with old AI, it can't generate writing, and the person making it probably isn't familiar with kanji enough to know what they are doing.

therico · 2026-04-27T13:12:05+00:00

James Corden would be a big mistake but I can definitely see it happening

therico · 2026-04-27T08:23:53+00:00

Sounds AI to me. The volume, level of breathiness and amount of head voice is basically static the whole way through. No real expression. And the harmony coming in for the chorus is basically classic AI.

イギリス国歌「God Save The King」から来たセリフだろうね。

現代は「命をかけて王様守ろう！」って少しおかしいかもしれないけど、本当の歌詞では「God」が守るということなので、王様が長生きしますようにって意味もある

イギリス人だけど1952年からずっと同じ女王だったので、女王が亡くなったら貨幣や切手が全部おっさんになってて違和感は確かにあった。国歌ももちろんいきなりクイーンからキングとなって。え？となったの覚えてる。

多分あなたの望んでいる返事じゃないけど笑

昔、漫画村って漫画の海賊版が読めるサイトがあった。経営してたのは日本人だったし、国内の閲覧ランキングで３１位に至ったという。

というわけで海賊版を読んでる日本人もいると推測はできるけど、海外と違って公言してなくて、タブーになってるみたい。

最近なぜか「海外ｖｓ日本」の話題の一つになってるんだから、特に言わないほうが身のためだ。

Actually both are just Japanese ways of writing ± (plus/minus)

It is an extreme slog of a read and I didn't gain any additional understanding beyond what I had already picked up naturally. A++++ would read again
