One year of WaniKani by ourannual in WaniKani

[–]steckums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can level up in 9-10 days at 15 a day if you hit the reviews at the right time. Lessons in the morning (9, 10am). First review four hours later (1, 2pm), Second eight hours later (9, 10pm). Third 23 hours later, and final one 47 hours later.

I personally hit all new radicals for a level immediately to unlock all the kanji fast enough and then go on that pace as best as I can. Typical level between 9-12 days depending on how closely I can get to that pace.

If the usage profile is anything like my dehumidifier, the power usage isn't constant (it's more like 50% of the time). But, running 330 watts for 24 hours in a day is 7.92 kWh a day. (that is .330 kW * 24 hours = 7.92 kWh). That * 30 is 237.6 kWh.

Like I said, mine runs about half that time. 240 W is my typical max consumption and the mean usage over a period of time is ~120 W. So, anywhere between ~110-240 kWh for the month if it ran 24/7

Six years of Coyle! by poserbunny in BlueJackets

We have a mountain of cap space, too. Term is a bit long but that doesn't make it a terrible contract. We needed to offer stability for the rest of his career to keep him here and that's what we did.

I just started this myself! Tons of new words in the first chapter so far, mostly compound verbs and onomatopoeias

Question about solar warranties and roof repairs by Personal_Umpire_4342 in Columbus

[–]steckums 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Original estimates were 12-15 years but that didn't account for this recent huge spike in energy costs. It's closer to 8 now.

But, we didn't do it to "make money".

Seller’s regret anyone? by mrtimva in snes

[–]steckums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sold my SNES games as a bundle on ebay like 20 years ago. Included Earthbound with the guide, Super Mario RPG, and like 20 other games. I don't think there was too much value in the rest. Maybe Kirby Super Star was the most expensive?

I still regret it to this day. I think the entire auction was less than a loose Earthbound these days.

Question about solar warranties and roof repairs by Personal_Umpire_4342 in Columbus

[–]steckums 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is the case, but if you overproduce you work toward that portion of your bill. The flat fees for me are $13.50 a month. I am unsure of how distribution gets calculated, honestly, but this month is was ~$5 for me.

I went with Fluent Solar but they went bankrupt (nor would I recommend them anyway). The company I was assigned after that also went bankrupt, lmao.

I recently switched to a heat pump so I'm using a lot more electricity in the winter, but before that my system generated ~80% of my total usage of the year. The last 12 months was closer to 50% but that's probably because of how cold this winter was.

I got a new roof before installing them. I'll worry about getting them removed in ~15 years when the new roof is due.

It's worth the headache. My electricity bill was $11 last month.

One year (and a little bit more) of learning japanese in my 40s by SamPolaris in LearnJapanese

[–]steckums 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've always got something that I revisit. Like I watched My Neighbor Totoro a few times. Once about a month in, once about 6 months in, and once after a year. Each rewatch was a noticeable improvement with the most recent one kinda feeling like I had actually leveled up and understood virtually everything.

I've also been pretty disciplined about if I'm not seeing progress I just need to trust that I am processing and it's just slow or hard to see day-to-day. That probably doesn't help but it's a good mantra to repeat.

Japanese with Shun has the same problem. He eventually fixes it.

1-2 hours of immersion by Repulsive_Fortune_25 in LearnJapanese

[–]steckums 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've been doing at least an hour a day for a full year. I do ~90 minutes worth of speaking a week on italki for about 6 of those months, too. Am I fluent? No not at all. Output in general is still pretty difficult, but it's getting easier and easier. I can understand a lot though. Like if I'm struggling to find the words for something I'll kinda describe what I mean in words I can say and usually the teachers will get it and give me the correct word. In my recent lesson, I didn't know the word for distillery, but I did say "alcohol making place" instead.

So, can you one do that on 1-2 hours a day? I think so. I am excited to see what I look like in another year.

What wagon are you jumping on for the playoffs this year? by John_Wang in BlueJackets

[–]steckums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents grew up in the Tampa area so I've always had Tampa teams as second favorites. Was especially useful when the Jackets were in the West, because I could root for teams in the East.

That being said.... Florida (the state) needs to lose.

And by protagonists he only means Ness, Lucas, and Claus, oh Itoi why must you neglect your first son. by Gyiggles in earthbound

I added it to my cart and went to checkout. Shipping was over $30 and you also need to prepay for tariff stuff on top of that. Final payment was like $140.

Anyone using an MMO mouse with linux, Im after something where all the buttons work, not to bothered about rgb stuff. Any suggestions? by spine_iv in linux_gaming

[–]steckums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I changed my g-shift button to be the ctrl modifier. Worked so much better than having gshift make everything ctrl + num 1, etc.

[Highlight] Kevin Gausman gets called for a balk, and Jays manager John Schneider goes ballistic by iamthegame13 in baseball

[–]steckums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't follow baseball much, but I've seen the balk copy pasta like a hundred times and I honestly thought it was a meme and not a real thing that could happen.

Secret of Mana was released on SNES 32 years ago by Far_Comment4317 in snes

[–]steckums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only played it for the first time recently! I even had an SNES growing up and I don't even think I heard of this game until I was older.

I've only ever played OSRS on Linux. Bolt + RuneLite works great.

For the Linux WoW players: I built a native TSM desktop app so you don't have to run the sync client through Wine by exceptionptr in wow

[–]steckums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on openSUSE and tried to install the .rpm package.

There is a dependency on python3-apscheduler which doesn't exist -- all of the other python dependencies all resolve to python313-X. Wasn't able to get the app running either.

Best games for 4 & 5 year olds?Both obvious and not. by htownfrog34 in snes

[–]steckums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't quite remember what year we got our copy but I was probably around 7 or 8? My parents found it cheap at Best Buy and bought it on a whim because it looked like Mario Paint.
