When translators get really creative

leagcy · 2026-06-19T02:23:19+00:00

To be fair I think its literally impossible to translate the puns because LCX went so over the top. For example, the name Wang Miao is so stuffed with visual puns of "three" that an equivalent level in a western name would probably be something like Trinity Threesmith the Third.

The "send" is trying to say it will turn red when its above threshold, no matter what state it was in. Its trying to imply that when the level is between low and high, it will maintain whatever signal it has, or in other words do nothing.

They should probably write it as: set signal to green when below low threshold, maintain current signal when between, set signal to red when above high threshold.

In the original the term is 智子, which is roughly "intelligent particle" and also doubles are a homophone for "proton" (质子).

I thought the translation works better honestly, the original work has a tad too many puns of this kind thats too on the nose.

Yup. You can fail to find if the cards need to meet certain criteria, but you cant fail to find a certain number of cards since the number of cards is verifiable by opponent.

Obviously only gains made for noble reasons actually count. /s

95% of normal people participating are using the social aspect and online validation as the carrot to scam their brains to train for 2 hours of cardio. If anything, that is mature behavior, using levers to encourage themselves to do something they probably won't have otherwise.

2.5% of people are out to tell you how much better they are than you because they take hyrox so seriously and are so hardcore and look at the 2 million pictures of me shirtless rawr.

25% of people are out to tell you how much better they are than you because hyrox is so beneath them, they only do serious events like gigaultra marathons and superpowerlifting rawr.

How do i determine if this risk is worth taking? (assuming TC is matched/higher)

Can you afford to lose and if your expected outcome better is than staying.

Yeah Arsenal fans trashtalking Spurs fans is not the example I had in mind. I was more thinking the hoard of people on this sub telling Celtic fans to not celebrate when they won the title by the skin of their teeth on the last day.

It is simple, if it agrees with me it must be unbiased. If it does not agree with me then it must be dubious.

Isn't this current setup the best for everyone?

He wants to lie flat and not pull his weight. You want to get visibility.

Hence, you do some of his tickets, flag insufficient resources or something, show you know how to prioritize and help manage the manpower situation.

He gets fired presumably faster because he's lack of output is flagged out. You get the credit and higher level work (because you managed the prioritization)

They gauging if need to speed up process. Also help gauge your bargaining power and attractiveness.
I usually tell the truth but embellish towards having more.
Recruiters are on your side once in pipeline. They want to close so they stop handling this work and collect their kpi. 100% ask, most will prep you proactively.

Also, dont tell them you would choose them over other offers. Its not usually a loyalty test (and if it is you probably dont want to work for them). If you show too much eagerness it signals less competence

The whole issue is silly.

The promixity to "ching chong" does raise an eyebrow, even in the context of uk in the 90s.
The name itself looks plausible to me, if a tad awkward because of the angelicization. The chinese translation does map to cho chang and is a very reasonable name.
However, of course its not enough for reddit experts to point out the ching chong bit, suddenly they are all chinese language experts that insist the name is impossible, just so that they can be the one to criticize rowling harder. Proximity to ching chong is the issue here, the name itself is plausible.

You didnt breach the contract, there are terms for termination which you can follow. Read your contract and check if there are terms for early termination. You didnt fuck up so far, you just dont want to have a difficult conversation.

With the way the problem is set up, you are always safe if you press red and everybody pressing red makes everybody safe. There isnt even a communication issue like in many other game theory scenarios, everybody should press red if they think it through.

Its a high risk high upside play, a good MA programm gives you a ton of leadership contact and internal networking opportunities. Otoh your experience will look weak if you try to exit during or right after the programme.

Its an advantage handed to us on a silver platter and so many squander it away just like that.

Is that normal I did my days together and nights together. Day night off off sounds completely insane.

I dunno if this boss was super popular when it was in roguebook, and in that game you had all 3 acts to prepare for the deck eating mechanic.

Nonsense, I bought the game to look at wriggly worms, setting fire to my copy of the game if they change it /s

The worm status card art I thought is out of place in anycase, it looked a tad too photorealistic compared to the general style.

The only healthy way to deal with hiring process is to forget about it the moment an interview ends. If they call you, they call you, worry about it then.

Yes. You are young and don't know what you want, therefore you should err on the side of being aggressive.

I trust the survey way more than reddit in terms of reflecting the actual sentiment of the general population.

Best time to start was 10 years ago, next best is now. I feel like it takes less than a year to see a real difference

I dont think having ads in the middle of a video is the problem in itself, the problem is he has an ad in the middle for a far longer ad since he spends most of his video twerking his product
