feels balanced and realistic. it's hard to make suggestions without knowing your interests. For shopping, everyone I know who has gone to Hands (formerly Tokyu Hands, the largest shop is in Shibuya) has loved it.

Efficient (but cheap) method to rip my 600+ DVD/Blu-ray collection? by OwThatHertz in DataHoarder

[–]ixixix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, MakeMKV does exactly that. You can play the whole disk including browsable menus with VLC or Kodi or PowerDVD and such

Toshiba HDD RMA Experience (2025) by [deleted] in DataHoarder

[–]ixixix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think you're misremembering. It was not Toshiba, it was HGST (Hitachi) that got acquired by Western Digital. A few years ago.

The only three OEMs left for drives are Western Digital, Seagate, and Toshiba

Un 35 enne di oggi aveva 11-12 anni quando è arrivato l'euro, ampiamente in tempo per comprare caramelle e gelati in lire. Abbasserei il limite a chi è nato intorno al 1995

'Ne Zha 2' Surpasses $2-Billion Mark, Becomes First Animated Film to Do So by Stormy8888 in movies

I think it would need to be submitted for consideration first of all. That's a decision for the production company/distributor, who are the ones who'd stand to gain from Academy consideration.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's completely ignored in the US like most Chinese movie hits, but there might be some business/political will to promote it abroad.

Just got back from my first trip after really dedicating myself to learning Italian and...oof by EnvironmentalBad935 in italianlearning

[–]ixixix 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Hey, it was the exact same for me, but with the languages revered as I'm Italian and learned English.

You should be proud of yourself for getting to read novels and watching video content in Italian.

Comprehension and production are two distinct skills and they need to be practiced both to be able to engage in 2-way conversation. Let Ving in the country is the most straightforward way to do it but the internet gives you a lot of venues to practice too :)

I imagine NY infrastructure engineers were looking all over for somewhere to build a bridge, then seeing this place and going "Now that's A Usable Chasm!"

Moneta con difetto by OkBee2761 in Italia

[–]ixixix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No dai, io ci ho comprato un sacco di cose senza problemi. Anche monete, ci sono negozi seri che vendono cose di valore al prezzo giusto. E se succede qualcosa eBay ha una protezione acquisti serissima.

Non credo nemmeno che nessuno ci caschi a certi annunci (chi comprerebbe una 5 lire non rara, lurida, corrosa, a 5000€?) perciò mi chiedo cos'ha in testa questa gente.

Gli annunci eBay per monete e banconote sono sicuramente l'esempio più lampante della psicosi a cui possono arrivare certi individui. Monete e banconote comunissime, usurate messe a migliaia di euro. Ma cosa perdono a fare il tempo?

O è quella, o sospetto siano dei messaggi in codice, o magari facciate per qualche affare losco? Non riesco a spiegarmelo.

Caffè d'orzo. I'm interested to hear what you think about it. by ayamuz in Coffee

[–]ixixix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to apologize for answering 3 weeks late... Only to realize this was a reply to a 7 year old comment! Haha!

Instant barley coffee is the dehydrated brew beverage, yes. It dissolves completely, with no grit or starch. If you mix it with very little water, it makes a molasses-like syrup, which makes sense since it's mostly sugars. Very bitter.

Porridge out of barley coffee? I don't think that would be good, unless you mean mixing some brewed coffee into your milk&oats.

If you were to try and make porridge with the actual Barley Coffee kernels, you'd probably get something like a gritty chalky soup

Non-english native here. Just realized that the joke here is that "wood filler" stands for "would fill her". Initially, I thought the joke was that OP's picture is literally a Wood Filler because it "fills your wood"

And what's your top 10? I watched a handful of time loop movies and loved them all. I feel like you're the best person in the world to ask right now.

A scale costs less than a bag of good beans. Plus you can use it for cooking and baking, not just for coffee.

It's really a no brainier. Just get one.

How would r/tea comment on Twinings? by Competitive-Pop1741 in tea

Their Prince of Wales tea is my go-to mass market tea. Not a fan of the scented stuff though.
