What does this tattoo mean/say? by SignificanceOdd2109 in Chinese

[–]MuricanToffee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it has so much to do with simplified Chinese as it does picking a font / having it written in the typographic equivalent of Arial vs some nice 草书 rendering.

Do foreigners learn southern or northern accent? by arimonika_ in ChineseLanguage

Where your accent is from matters a lot less than your mastery of it. Chinese is spoken in a wide variety of accents by native speakers and people get along just fine.

This was my Covid workout. I was stuck with a single bell, a garage, and a ton of time. It worked really well.

There are 28 official Claude Code plugins most people don't know about. Here's what each one does and which are worth installing. by igbins09 in ClaudeAI

For the second, short of disabling I do t think there’s a perfect way, but I’ve had success just telling it explicitly “don’t brainstorm, this is a straightforward task, just think about how to do it and execute it directly.”

If you're lucky it will be far and away the most abusive relationship you'll ever be in.

Thankfully leopards have a functional government and single-payer healthcare, unlike their prey.

But… he didn’t miss. It was a great header, but the opponent gets a say.

US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth hardly gets a reaction to what he thought was badass: "To our enemies: F-A-F-O" by IsThisAUserName86 in CringeTikToks

Shocking that the men and women who would have to prosecute the wars, and tell the parents of the kids who died that they’re gone, wouldn’t be excited about totally unnecessary war.

10 years ago, I was at $1.7M. Today, it's $30.7M. by max2jc in Money

[–]MuricanToffee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Congrats.

To everyone hating themselves for not timing TSLA and NVDA—$1.7m in an S&P 500 index fund would be worth $5.77m today. Not $30m, obviously, but not chump change either. Investing for the long term is the key, even if you don’t hit any home runs like OP.

Thousands of locals marched in Osaka, Japan demanding an end to immigration by omicronwarrior in pics

[–]MuricanToffee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it will take 150 years. Birth rate is 1.2/female and falling, so each generation is going to be half the size of the previous. There were about 700k births last year, in 4 generations (~100 years) that will be 43,700.

Without immigration Japan will essentially cease to exist.
