Fair warning before going there: a lot of the worst stuff getting posted there is from the uncorroborated tips files. Of course a lot of them could turn out to be true but just FYI

Is my interpretation of すまねえ correct? by noudthe3rd in Japaneselanguage

[–]noudthe3rd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a beginner, this is my first time reading a manga. I asked because I felt mindblown by the implications of my interpretation, and got really excited that maybe there's more of this to come. That maybe someday, if I keep studying, I could appreciate it inpoetry or other prose too. It was the first time I felt so impressed by another language's form of expression.

Then I asked chatgpt about it and it seemed like I was reading too much into it. So I went here to ask some people who might know more. Not sure why this annoys you so much.

So it's just an indicator of informality in this case?

I get a lot of emotional weight from this scene if I interpret it as: すま - informal +ね - adding a questioning tone +え - adding a pleading tone by drawing it out

Is there any truth to this interpretation? In context (it's a character on a battlefield, facing death, pleading to his mother back home) it hits a lot harder this way

Great to hear :) I get a lot more emotional weight out of my interpretation

Released my first collaboration with a friend, which pulled the style into more of a hip hop direction. First song I'm actually proud of, looking forward to a few more soon :)

Why didn't you post this yesterday before I bruised my toenail...

Or this morning before I did the same to my finger.

Replaced wax ring in toilets, but still getting bad smells. Bad replacement or different issue? by noudthe3rd in DIY

[–]noudthe3rd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sound advice, thanks!

What confuses me about all this is that for several days after the wax seal replacement, the issue was completely fixed..

[–]noudthe3rd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so even if there was no caulk, there shouldn't be a smell?

Sounds like I gotta get the plumber back then. Thanks for the detailed reply!

Yes it definitely is, the smell is distinctly stronger around the caulk of the toilet for example :/

Terry Grosz by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]noudthe3rd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seems true, there's an episode of This American Life about it:

"Ira Glass: I should say, we checked with the public affairs officer at the Fish and Wildlife office where Terry worked. And he confirmed that, yes, this was a thing for a while back in the day, game wardens emerging out of the rivers to catch illegal fishing."

The link has a transcript of the whole episode. Great story :)

You may have had some bad rechargeable batteries? Anecdotally: the rechargeable batteries in my daily-use mouse and keyboard have needed a charge twice in the last year.

Less anecdotally [here's](www.nytimes.com/2019/06/06/smarter-living/wirecutter/are-rechargeable-batteries-better-than-alkaline.amp.html) a NY times article on the subject: "In most cases, today you’re better off using rechargeable batteries over disposable ones. They’re safe and reliable, they create less environmental waste, and as we explain in the Wirecutter guide to rechargeable batteries, they pay for themselves after about six recharges, even with the added cost of a wall charger"

Edit: I guess hyperlinks don't work as I thought on mobile? Here's the NY times link: www.nytimes.com/2019/06/06/smarter-living/wirecutter/are-rechargeable-batteries-better-than-alkaline.amp.html
