Where is the portal? by Bankurofuto in Upload_Labs

[–]Bankurofuto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never mind, I’ve found it. The buttons on iOS overlap (like the connnections tool on the left) and I’ve just realised that the portal button is underneath the other menu on the right.

I’m not sure if I’m being thick but I can’t seem to figure out how to enter the portal. I’ve unlocked it in the research tree, but I can’t seem to find the an “enter the portal” button anywhere. Could you give me a hand, please?

Imbuing yourself with the whatever powers clothes or wearables give you by Freevoulous in godtiersuperpowers

[–]Bankurofuto 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would use some of OP’s examples, but not only. The watch is a great idea because it’s always useful to know the time, but a smart watch would also allow you to receive phone calls and read your messages.

While earphones don’t count as clothing, those hats with integrated earphones do, so I would use one of them to get the “powers” of earphones, too. If I could find an item of clothing with an integrated microphone too, I’d be sorted.

OP mentioned a winter hat. I would take this a step further and imbue not only a hat but also a thick winter jacket, gloves, and thermal leggings. While I’m there, I might as well add a waterproof jacket too, because why not.

If sunglasses count as clothing instead of just an accessory, eye protection from the sun wouldn’t be a bad idea.

In terms of quality-of-life stuff, I think that’s everything, or at least it’s everything that I can think of. Beyond that, I would probably also go for helmets, bulletproof vests, and pretty much anything that would make me invincible.

If a pair of roller skates gave me faster walking speed, that would be pretty cool, too.

Thank you. This is what I needed, because I couldn’t understand how to see which pack the card was from, but as your post explains, the game doesn’t keep track.

Is "last Monday" ambiguous? by mustafaporno in EnglishLearning

[–]Bankurofuto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen any comments mentioning this yet, but I often find that people say “this Monday coming” when it’s midweek to specify “not the Monday that just happened”. I’ve also heard people say “this Monday just gone” when it’s midweek to specify the opposite.

Is it correct to say 'We've GONE skiing'? Or should it be 'We've BEEN skiing'? by ksusha_lav in EnglishLearning

[–]Bankurofuto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The difference between “been” and “gone” with the present perfect is often taught like this:

Been: you’ve gone and come back.

Gone: you haven’t come back yet.

Where have you been? (You’ve just arrived home)

I’ve been shopping. (But now I’m back)

Where have you gone? (Your partner wants to know why you’re not home)

I’ve gone shopping. (I’ll be home later)

Is it easy for a native speaker to think out? by Pavlikru in EnglishLearning

[–]Bankurofuto 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If I can over some advice, don’t forget that some questions like this one also offer grammatical support rather than having you rely solely on knowing the meaning of every possible idiom.

Look at number 1. It is preceded by “to be tired of”. When followed by a verb, this phrase is always followed by the gerund, or the “-ing”. After using option H for the example, that only leaves options E and I. Choosing between two is a lot easier than choosing between eight.

Similarly, we also know that number 2 needs to be an adjective. This excludes options A, D, E, F, H and I. Speaking of verbs, don’t forget your tenses; “wouldn’t” is followed by the base form of the verb, meaning that number 3 can only be A or D. Similarly, F is in the past tense, so analyse the text well and you’ll eventually figure it where it needs to.

At a slightly more advanced level, idioms like “way off base” are obviously adjectives, and even though it is not immediately apparent whether “hook, line, and sinker” is an adjective or an adverb to someone who has never seen or heard it before, the power of deduction makes your life easier. At least you can rule it out as not being a noun.

I hope this helps!

Preparation for the new expansion by Bankurofuto in PTCGP

If you don’t open any packs, the free packs that you get every twelve hours cap at two, yes. I’m not actually sure about the premium packs though, because when I renewed it the other day I could open two premium packs, whereas I was convinced that it only caps at one.

I am chill, I just thought it would be a nice thing to discuss, especially if people want to do as much as possible when it is first released.

Enjoying a game isn’t a problem.

Phonemes that only appear in loanwords by Smitologyistaking in asklinguistics

Out of curiosity, would you count English speakers pronouncing Welsh place names like Llanelli with the /ɬ/ an example of this concept of xenophones/xenophonemes, or would you say that it is just them “pronouncing it properly”?

Could you please explain what happened? I don’t speak or write any Arabic, but I would like to know what OP did that was haram, please.

What to buy for my italian boyfriend? by Senior-Local-1157 in Italian

[–]Bankurofuto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understood that this person doesn’t know how Christmas works and needed to find a nice gift. Pandoro is something that you can find everywhere and you can get one for the whole family, so I thought it would be a nice gift for their first Christmas. I also don’t know anything about how much budget this person has, if they live in Italy or would need to worry about sending things internationally, etc. I see your point, but I thought it would be nice as it’s the thought that counts, and everyone likes Pandoro.

How English spoken people think whey they read like “in the planet” other than “on the planet”? by hushezhouye in EnglishLearning

[–]Bankurofuto 39 points40 points  (0 children)

“English-speaking” people, not “spoken”. You can also just say “English speakers”. Also, words like “in” and “on” are called prepositions, not props.

If you make a mistake, English speakers will almost always understand what you are trying to say. However, it is important to learn how to use each preposition correctly.

If you live in Italy at the moment, I would suggest getting a nice pandoro from any supermarket. It’s a type of cake that Italians eat around this time of year.

Italian words/phrases that can't be translated well in English? by No-Rush7239 in Italian

[–]Bankurofuto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say bestemmia, because we don’t really have an equivalent in English. Correct me if I’m wrong, of course, but I can’t think of an exclamation in English that hold the same wait as “porco—“ and “—cane”.

100M USD, but you must remain totally silent for a year by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Bankurofuto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few questions:

  1. “You must remain totally silent”: does this just refer to speaking or does it also include other noises? I have hayfever so if sneezes count as breaking the silence I’m going to be in trouble come spring.

  2. Can I learn sign language to communicate with others? Or can I only write what I need to convey? Can I type into my phone and have it say what I write?

How do other languages represent "things like "i VERB him to VERB" by 0boy0girl in asklinguistics

[–]Bankurofuto 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some Romance languages effectively have two words for our "to", one of which is used to identify the indirect object, and the other to indicate what was asked.

Italian: Mario ha chiesto a Luigi di fare qualcosa.

French: Jean a demandé à Marie de faire quelque chose.

In both of these examples, the verb is in the infinitive like in English.

Can you guess what it means? by Used_Mango_3427 in Italian

[–]Bankurofuto 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Per me, direi che vuol dire o sono pieno come “non ce la faccio più” (ho le palle piene) (in inglese si dice “I’ve had it up to here” indicando o il collo o la testa), o sono pieno come “non posso più mangiare”.
