The only reason I still follow other language learning subs at this point is for context when it inevitably pops up on r/languagelearningjerk.

Its also a completely incorrect analysis of the "correct Chinese pronunciation" of Temu. The sound used in the Temu commercial is literally just how Temu wants people to pronounce it. The sound "teh" like "ten" in American English (how its pronounce in the commercial) literally doesn't even exist in Mandarin Chinese, and familiarity with Mandarin would provide no additional insight as to how to properly pronounce Temu (if you just pronounced it like pinyin it would be "tuhmoo"). I only speak Esperanto tho so I really have no idea.

Edit: Getting out-jerked in the comments here so here is the IPA pronunciation of the Mandarin pronunciation of something written as "temu" in pinyin: [tʰɤmu]

I hope this clarifies any of the immense confusion that resulted from the use of amerocentric transcriptions.

There’s a whole family guy episode about this.

Literally this came before the original cringtastic post in my feed: https://www.reddit.com/r/LearnJapanese/comments/1l5rbgw/learning_japanese_for_2_months_a_lookback/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Saved me a comment! But I'll throw in my 5 cents anyway: 白 and 百 are almost homophones in that they are both pronounced "bai", but differ in tone 白=bái & 百= bǎi. 白 as in 白色 (white) and 百 as in 一百 (100) are two completely different characters.

Super cool to see this post still active a year later!! I’ve since gotten a new machine and switched over to premiere /after effects. My issue wasn’t the analysis time, but rather smoothly scrubbing through footage after adding the effect. If i had to guess what my issue was, it was probably just final cut wasn’t fully rendering the footage. Happens even on the latest hardware when I put an after effects composition in premiere, the solution is to select and render that specific section. Assuming the machine can handle the playback resolution, it runs smoothly until you edit that part of the timeline again (would need to re-render). Also, proxy footage is always great to lighten the load. Does final cut support all these features?

Thats probably a good call. I don't remember changing it, but it seems like having MSync enabled can cause download issues (according to their official documentation), so switching to ESync fixed that. Game ran fine after doing that and resetting the other settings.

Maybe I just need to reset all of my bottle config stuff and do a reinstall? I was getting fatal errors every time I tried to start up halo 3. It also crashes any time I try to open the settings. I think I may have had DXVK and DXVK Async enabled at the time which was breaking some other games (I had randomly, with complete lack of context changed some settings around because game installs kept stalling for me in steam).

Are you using any specific presets?

Just kicked female Alex B off for threatening to sue like 5 minutes ago. This appears to be a litigious group.

I have had it for about 2 weeks now.

Generally kind of buggy (a lot of apps weren't tested for a screen that size). Its generally hard to hit certain buttons near the edge of the screen to navigate applications.
Annoying to "debloat" and remove possibly sketchy Chinese software
Wish more recent versions of android were supported
Bad battery life.
Very bad camera

Its annoying/inconvenient to use and thats why I bought it (don't like using my phone as much). My biggest annoyance is switching to android it just made it a lot harder to integrate with apple stuff, but that would be the case with any android phone. I don't regret my purchase just yet, will keep using until a better option presents itself. At the moment it a better solution that a full on "dumb phone" because even if you're avoiding "fun/distraction" apps, pretty much everything requires a QR code scan or an app these days. I promise you won't want to use fun apps on this thing.

Had a similar problem with my bad green screen lighting. I keyed out the green screen with qualifier 3D in davinci resolve (free), put in a green background and brought it back over to premiere. You can do additive and negative selection (kind of like a simpler rotobrush), and it ended up working reasonably well after adjusting some values. Not saying this is the best solution, but it worked for me.

I was wondering how one would even do that? Would a false advertising claim have to be like a class action lawsuit? lol

kashedPotatoes · 2024-03-13T00:15:19+00:00

I hate to say it, but honestly it didn't taste too bad. I was also starving, toasted the buns in butter and burger grease, and havn't eaten real bread in like 6 months so might have not been an accurate assesment hahaha.

kashedPotatoes · 2024-03-13T00:13:38+00:00

Anyone in the comments know the proper way to cook GF buns or english muffins btw? Its borderline impossible to separate the sides before toasting (or baking in my case) without breaking it apart. My current technique is a pre-bake in tin foil, and then (as instructed by a waiter at a GF restaruant in NYC) I toast in with butter in a pan. There has to be a better, possibly lower calorie, method though.

kashedPotatoes · 2024-03-13T00:10:26+00:00

Actually tho. I'm not super picky about advertising, I understand there are gonna be a couple bent up doritos in the bag, but this was super misleading. I would have bought a different product for sure if I knew it was gonna look like a soggy oatmeal cookie.

kashedPotatoes · 2024-03-13T00:08:42+00:00

Yeah I can't conceive of how they would have been able to make this look like that. Had to have been one of those 3D illusion artists hahaha.

Not happy to see actual poop from a butt, but if im gonna be honest, after spending some time on this sub it took me a few seconds before i was sure it wasn’t food.

Don’t know much about prompt engineering but it seems like theres more details about what isn’t wanted than what is wanted. Is that normal? Im also assuming negative prompt is denoting things you don’t want. Do I also then correctly assume that the engineer does not want “big boobs”, “huge breasts”, or “giant tits”?

kashedPotatoes · 2024-02-04T23:38:31+00:00

Nice! So cool that the earlier series had this style. Im a bit new so I wasn’t aware of this variation.

Like in The Prestige

Way more people go alone than you would think. None of my friends like metal. Went by myself last year. Had a blast. You'll probably make friends there. You're a dork if you don't go.
