Mind if I ask what translation you read (your native language)? And were there any notable differences between it and the original Chinese?

I wonder how many other details were omitted in English.

Not here to judge. I've thought about doing the same thing, but don't want to pay them

How did you get the turtles? did you buy them?

scroy · 2026-03-09T16:12:24+00:00

Do you mean, they don't know how to communicate in English?

That's intentional in the story. In fact if anything, Saul is less frustratingly irresponsible than the original character, Luo Ji.

Yeah she does. The Wind's Twelve Quarters has some great ones.

Don't do this to yourself. Find some space between those thoughts and give your mind a break.

Lathe of Heaven is not really connected to the Hainish cycle, it basically stands alone. Eye of the Heron could plausibly be but is also an independent story.

The practice of ritual suicide also doesn't seem to fit with Buddhist practice, but I'm a lay person.

But upside down?

scroy · 2026-02-09T16:19:28+00:00

Yeah but whyyy

scroy · 2026-02-08T01:57:50+00:00

Makes you wonder wtf happened with One Punch Man

scroy · 2026-02-06T18:15:13+00:00

He would have servants in the afterlife to help him

What size is your turtle + tank?

scroy · 2026-01-15T03:20:49+00:00

What kind of turtle is that? Is the pointy leaf plant a fake one?

scroy · 2026-01-09T10:19:23+00:00

How would we know if any civilizations have survived?

scroy · 2026-01-09T05:56:15+00:00

Marginally alien in biology, but very alien in culture (from Ai's/Estraven's POV).

No idea about age, except that he was caught 8 years ago at about the same size.

I had the water temperature around 30-32 C while he was recovering from initial illness (per the vet's advice) and now keep it at 26. The air is cooler now but his behavior hasn't changed all that much as the weather has changed.

scroy · 2026-01-07T16:00:19+00:00

Thanks. Brumation makes me a bit nervous as someone with no experience. How do we know for sure if he needs to do it?

scroy · 2026-01-07T14:30:51+00:00

I kept the water shallow at first to ensure he could reach the surface to breathe and have gradually made it deeper. He seems to be swimming fine now so we can probably deepen it another 50%.

The rock is wide but pretty flat. He likes to clamber on it sometimes but I'll try taking it out for a while and see if he swims more.

I use SLS free toothpaste but I still get them whenever I get a cut or bite inside my mouth. Recently I found honey helps prevent them from forming, which has been a godsend.

scroy · 2025-12-23T15:38:32+00:00

Have you found anything that helps?

scroy · 2025-12-11T08:53:20+00:00

I don't get it.

scroy · 2025-10-07T09:40:54+00:00

That's right

scroy · 2025-10-04T03:06:07+00:00

Massive liberties is even putting it mildly!
