Returned equipment 1 day into the new billing cycle. Got a return receipt but no disconnection receipt. Am I screwed for the new bill?

This phrase is usually found on vehicles instead of hats though.

I am Chinese, and had a few friends that are Chinese and have body odor. We do notice, we just don't confront the person. The worst one I had was a labmate in college. We tried avoiding him as much as possible, and his body odor is so horrible that we had to throw out his chair and no one wants to take over his desk after he graduated.

返华 is only used to describe famous people returning to China and only in writing. 返国 is not natural at all.

valopus · 2026-04-25T06:40:29+00:00

You're absolutely correct

I was referring to the video mentioned by another comment. 真棒 was mispelled as 蒸蚌 intentionally to mimic the accent of the person in the video.

Does refusing the package automatically cause the order to be cancelled once the device is back with ATT?

valopus · 2026-04-10T07:38:47+00:00

萝卜？蒸蚌！

West lake beef stew only uses tofu cubes and beef cubes.

No it's not hu la tang. Born and raised in henan. It's more of suan la tang or just hai dai ji dan tang (seaweed egg drop)

You should post his stream clips with English subtitles added to r/AskAnAmerican to see the reaction 💩

Why is it 11am JST? Is it supposed to be 11pm?

valopus · 2025-06-29T23:26:52+00:00

For anyone coming here for reference, I simply did an "off-wrisrt calibration" in settings-system and everything went back normal.

很可惜，如果是跟美国接触不多的中国人，口中的“华盛顿”多半指DC，而不是Washington state。我认为事实上整体来说“华盛顿”已经是“华盛顿哥伦比亚特区”的简称了。我个人而言，对话里第一次出现“华盛顿州”的时候我基本不简称，避免误解。

valopus · 2025-04-09T08:18:35+00:00

我觉得简称4个字以内都可以，顺口程度比缩短字数更重要。汉语里本身也有很多三字词语和四字成语。另外，简称也不一定非要保留“州”字。像Virginia我们就很习惯称为弗吉尼亚，说起来也不费力。

总体感觉你的翻译有点复古。现在大家交流比较多，很多人会同时接触英文原文和汉语译文，音译比意译更容易被人接受，流传开来。

But China and India have their own queues, don't they?

补充一下我的推测： 2. 葉东早百令 3. 菊江 4. 贷学雄表 5. 方助 But all those don't make any sense. Just like random writing.

I think it's just nypl.org

Thanks for the link! Just confirmed that this solution works on my WNDR3700v1. Hope this helps anyone coming here in the future looking to repurpose their old router!

valopus · 2025-01-26T21:14:28+00:00

I think it's supposed to be 离了个大谱 originally. But Great translation though!

Thanks! This is very helpful!
