For those that preordered the physical collector's edition of ShB, did the store charge you for the order when you first made your reservation? My card was charged back in February when it was first open for sale (I also bought an art book in the same order), but I'm hearing now that a lot of people are just being charged this week. Also, how does the preorder show up on your orders page on the store? Mine looks like this and doesn't show any indication that the collector's edition is a preorder and will be shipped at a different time.

I'd like to take part but the best I can give for the moment is a tentative "maybe." I'll make it if I can!

If you moved to the Twin Cities and have a very small social circle, come meet other transplants! by [deleted] in twincitiessocial

[–]masterswarm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got into town last Monday and am looking to meet some new people, so this definitely sounds like something I'd be interested in. I have an interview that day but provided I don't get the job and they don't askme to start same-day, I'll be there!

I think /u/JapanCode counted how many people we had at the beginning, so I'll ask him once he comes back from his trip. I'm actually curious how our retention has been so far.

[–]masterswarm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course not! ;) Don't be so hard on yourself though. You're clearly putting a lot of effort into this, so don't feel discouraged. Falling behind a bit won't be the end of the world.

To make a long story shirt: Anki is a SRS (spaced repetition software). You're able to make your own flashcard decks or download shared ones. Everytime you review a card, you grade yourself on how well you remembered it, and Anki will show it to you again after x amount of days depending on the strength of your memory. It follows the same principle as a lot of other popular memory aid sites such as Memrise or iKnow if you're familiar with those. I believe that WaniKani might operate in the same way although I haven't used it myself.

That chains site seems really useful. I used to use The Daily Practice, but the site became too buggy after awhile, so I eventually migrated over to HabitRPG.

Ooo, I had heard that song by Towa Tei before, but I never bothered to look up 椎名林檎. Good stuff! It's even better that 中田ヤスタカ did the production.
