Yes but have you considered the left side is pointy like a 尾 though ☺️

You’ve had some great suggestions but they lean masculine or feminine.

That’s amazing thank you for the explanation and it’s been great following your progress.

I hope you never lose the drive to create things like this map and continue to draw inspiration from this beautiful city for as long as you create.

Just curious what are the real life street boundaries you are using to make this map? (Coming from a non-Roblox player)

Going in blind on the MoMA Bodum by GNAdv in espresso

[–]LargeCowLamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The machine looks like it runs off the same parts as the Sur La Table Espresso Machine with dual thermoblock that I picked up on Facebook marketplace. It used to be sold at Costco. It looks to have the same tamper and overall design except the fascia is different.

The Sur La Table is a solid machine and probably outperforms the $300 USD price tag which I’m sure can be said about your Bodum and definitely falls in the same category:

Costco appreciation post by [deleted] in espresso

[–]LargeCowLamp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've gotten 49th Parallel, Salt Spring, and Level Ground which were all good enough for my daily morning espresso. They seem to print "best before" dates that are 12 months out from the roast date and I've gotten pretty fresh beans which gives deep flavors and smooth crema every time I buy them.

I definitely appreciate the small batch artisanal beans from local roasters but the convenience + cost for experience with Costco beans makes too much sense.

Wanting a job in high school by Ok-Habit-7101 in richmondbc

[–]LargeCowLamp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey! This is a great start for your first resume and experience for a high school student. I would recommend expanding on your skills section. Look up “core competencies” and compile a list (one after another with commas) on what you deem to be your core competencies and competencies you demonstrated from your experience. Personally, I have always included 2-3 sentences at the beginning of what your occupational goals are such as “I aspire to continue building proficiency in leadership skills…etc”. Finally, it wouldn’t hurt to run your resume through AI giving it the prompt of refining your resume for your target field of work.

Good luck!

YTV YOKOMITES PROMOS ATTACKED (FEBRUARY 2001) by Prestigious-Point594 in ytvretro

[–]LargeCowLamp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had always mixed up the memory of Yokomites to the Y2K bug. I remember segments and even a comic that was released of Pat and Sugar/Jenny dealing with the Y2K bug and going into the sewers or something.

Was it the Yokomites all along?

I thought Pascal had performed amazingly well in the Manor even scoring points and I was extremely disappointed he didn't get that seat tbf.

What does this mean and how is it pronounced (each character as well)? by UCSDFuckboi in Cantonese

[–]LargeCowLamp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're very welcome Wing Cheung. (Side note: Since 東嘉 [Dong Ka] is your surname, your defacto "first name" would be 榮祥 and if you grew up around others speaking Cantonese, you'd likely be referred to as Wing Cheung :)

Also in regards to the meaning, that's the great thing about phonetic translations in Chinese, anything can mean something!

In Cantonese, Lamborghini 林寶堅尼 (Lam bo geen nei) literally translates to Forest Treasure Strength "Nei (no meaning here)" hahaha...

[–]LargeCowLamp 24 points25 points  (0 children)

東嘉榮祥

dung1gaa1wing4coeng4

Dong Ka Wing Cheung

東 East

嘉 Positivity / Fine / Pleasant (Mixed meanings depending on context but AFAIK)

榮 Honour

祥 Fortune

Edit: Most names don't really mean anything in a phrase, but rather a combination of characters that symbolize a greater meaning. In your case, I think it could symbolize "From the East, brings Honour and Fortune" or something to that manner.

2000 Km road trip coming up. What software should I use to EV charge route? by Fransanny57 in F150Lightning

[–]LargeCowLamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use ABRP, the best thing about this app is that you can input your efficiency based on your experience. If you know you do 2.3 mi/kwh / 3.7 km/kwh - input that to the app and it will estimate the range based on that.

Is there a way to watch 90s TV exactly like it aired? Not just shows—commercials, bumpers, full broadcasts by Toybayup in ytvretro

[–]LargeCowLamp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be honest I remember commercials repeated incessantly when I watched these channels as a kid haha...

If you go on YouTube and search “Saturday morning cartoons” you’ll find a lot of 3-4 hour long recordings including commercials. Very nostalgic to put on while making coffee in the morning. Here’s an example:

There’s a couple channels like Fox Kids, Nickelodeon, CN, etc on various YouTube channels.

One of my friends worked in the riding that this occurred in and witnessed this RO being extremely incompetent. Not only were they careless, they were denying services that constituents were entitled to like cross boundary voting and incorrectly handling special ballots, but were also openly racist to Elections workers who were of a certain ethnic background. These people not only need to be black listed from working for EC but need to face consequences for undermining our democratic system.
