My experience trying to learn other languages has been that it’s a lifelong process.

Japan’s writing system is rather complex. It has three primary forms and mixed together. Your familiarity with Cantonese & Mandarin may help with kanji (but also be a source of confusion, as they share some similarities).

However, their speech has regional dialects and some of their phrases requires an understanding of their history and culture.

The monogatari series has been cited as extremely dense to understand for foreigners, but would be an excellent candidate for practicing your comprehension skills.

Side thought: How do you feel about the dub of this series? It’s often credited as being very high quality.

They need to be local or willing to help me move to them.

Online relationships are nice but I wanna cuddle. 😭

I try not to do that.

But sometimes the scene is really dry or too cringe for me.

I’ll catch myself texting people or browsing image galleries.

“Let’s agree to disagree”

This solves nothing, it just equates to a polite way of saying I’m done talking to you.

Steam engines, clockwork and balloons. Hopefully they turn into a steampunk society.

Looks infected to my eyes. But I’m not a medical professional.

The Final Countdown is close 2nd.

No calls, no meetings, no boss.

That limits you to ad-hoc work or personal projects.

You could hunt bug bounties or make something creative such as art or games.

In my experience the play store is awful to use if you’re looking for anything that’s not full of ads and/or extremely monetized. I recommend only using it when you know exactly which app you’re looking for.

Generally I find games through itch.io and recommendations from others. Also there are foss game emulators on GitHub and similar sites.

Netflix recently started offering mobile games as well.

Ages ago humble bundle did android games but that’s all in the past now.

I’ve been enjoying worldbox and lichess. I used to have a bunch more but the latest Android version made most of my collection stop working.

If I understand the question, it would be the point where the gas would lose its state and become a liquid or solid. This variable is influenced by pressure, the container and the external vs internal temperatures.

What helps me is that I try to disengage 10 hours before I need to wake up. Usually takes a couple hours before I’m ready to sleep. So I’ll just lay in bed listening to music or scrolling through Lemmy.

They used to make an unleaded monster.

But the flavour profile of most cans is salt water taffies if that helps.

Energy drinks, I could drink em all day if I let myself.

After experiencing a pretty good scare when I was a kid. I’ve avoided repeating that and limit myself to a couple at most.

If I’m intended to be a part of the conversation (such as a group demonstration) it’s offensive if they don’t make an effort to keep everyone on the same page.

The manager is also potentially concerned that she can’t monitor the chatter for mistakes. (And ego)

It would need to be an OLED.

I really like the reviews on this site https://www.rtings.com/

My dungeons and dragons group uses Google docs for that. Never had an issue.

Oh interesting, I’ll need to look into that more.

I’d expect that it’s much better than a 1050. And still probably best in slot at that price point. (For new hardware)

Perhaps a used 1080ti would be better but I doubt a system with a 1050 has the power supply for that.

still using 2016 budget GPU (1050Ti).

Check out the Intel b580, your 2019 hardware should support rebar. (An bios update might be required). It’s a phenomenal upgrade for around $250US

But I feel you on the bandwidth issue. I’ve had to give up on some games that frequently update.

If you remove thrive from the query I would say most of them.

However once you include thrive as a modifier I’d reckon under 5%.

I like to immerse myself in fictional stories, imagine being my favourite characters.

I try to fill most of my free time with social activities. Big fan of in-person boardgames.
