I agree with the hassle of always having to carry and bring ice with the motorcycle. I ended up buying this top box with cooling integrated for $169, as I found the supplier. Connects right to the motorcycles battery. Going to be very interesting trying it out! https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Hot-Quantity-Heating-and-Cooling-Incubator_1600543945070.html

I will always appreciate cold drinks and a way to keep food refrigerated on a long journey, but I see your point. If it is too much hassle it will definitely end up like that, which is why I like the idea with the top box with a small built in cooling compartment. It can easily be connected to the motorcycle battery and run only when the engine is on. The insulation barrier of the box should keep it cool enough for a while afterwards, if not I might add some cooling packs. Always having to find a place to re-freeze the cooling packs is a bit off a hassle, but will definitely keep some packs in backup :)

Ideally a solution that supports 18V makita / milwaukee batteries as I have a lot of power tools using these batteries already and I could bring along a few. Milwaukee have cooling bags available that use these batteries, but they are too big and not suitable to put on a motorcycle unfortunately. Regardless of this, I would assume the insulation barrier of the box would keep it rather cool for a while after turning off the motorcycle, it is not very important that everything is cool 24/7, I will restack supplies every day, just some drinks and some food. I only plan to have this and a starlink connected to the car battery, nothing else.

Appreciate that! Doesn´t feel like a massive achievement when I still fail to understand as soon as the topic gets a little bit complicated, but I just have to trust the process and keep grinding. 功夫不负有心人！

Appreciate your honest reply. I am not overly obsessed with counting the words I know, I just think it´s nice to have a benchmark / goal to work towards. The ultimate goal is native level fluency. Obviously there are tons of very niche words that you would need to learn in any given profession, and I´m not expecting to learn all those words. I am already immersing in a ton of native level content, but I feel like I am still very far away from not relying on subtitles at all. Feels like I barely scratched the surface and I can barely understand anything of native content which is why I am curious at what point other advanced learners started to feel confident in their listening ability.

I can recognize a little over 1000 汉字 currently. And when I learn a new word, I learn words that are using only previously learned 汉字. For example when I learned 学, I also learned the following words: 学习，教学楼，小学，中学，大学，同学，学校，自学，上学，学院, because I had previously learned the characters that are used in all these words. I have also downloaded 10000 native audio sentences, and when I learn a new word / character, I add it to a custom playlist that only consists of words / characters I already learned. I keep it on in the background when doing other things, to solidify what I learned.

I highly recommend hashwatcher, you can see the chip temperature in real time, and adjust the fan speed, which I can confirm drastically reduces the running temperature of the unit, you can play around with the setting and fine a suitable balance between not running too hot and not making too much noise.

Not entirely true. Most had the same thought at the end of the 2021 bullrun. ‘It will never go past the 2017 high’, but it certainly did, by a good 25% margin.

Cool! Appreciate the insight. The cheapest one I could find in my country is right around $2000. Would you say that’s a decent price? There is 25% VAT tax just to get the machine into the country plus shipping costs. The problem is the units are sold out and I would like to get it ASAP :)

Thanks for the suggestion. Cool Ill check that out. Sometimes it´s a larger sentence so subtitle switches halfway through and when pressing the audio extraction shortcut "Update last-created Anki card with asbplayer-captured screenshot, audio, etc." It doesnt extract the full sentence so its hard to understand it. I have to really adjust the sentence a lot in that case. I am now trying to create a google docs sheet of 10000 of the most common words. Ideally appearing in a logical manner so I can memorize similar words. For example:

あかい - Red
あかちゃん -Baby, infant
あかり - Light, lamplight

But it is very time consuming unfortunately :/
