But it uses Roman letters which form the Latin alphabet. Romanization here means that Japanese text gets transcribed into Roman characters. The fact that the transcription follows English phonetics is a different thing.
I live in Germany and I've recently booked a cheap car with Hertz for a weekend trip. At the rental office, they offered me to upgrade to a premium EV for no additional cost, because most people rent a car for medium to…
I've had the exact same reasoning about Polish, and after I've moved to Germany I've noticed that quite often I'm able to just translate a phrase directly from Polish and it would be correct. I suppose that the verbs…
Sorry, but this doesn't explain anything to me. You've traced genetic mutations that cause an array of ailments and conditions spread all over the body, and propose that taking vitamin B will cure them all?...
Care to share your findings?
As I see it, this is to point out that attempts to change sexual orientation are doomed to be unsuccessful - and these are, in most cases, either forced or caused by peer pressure. I personally haven't heard of any case…
I think English knowledge is a generational thing, irrelevant of background. People who migrated earlier had to learn the local language, because English knowledge was not prevalent back then. Their kids are just like…
I feel this inability to blend in is a thing in most of Europe. A non-white person will always be perceived as an other by a significant portion of the society. I've had two friends in Germany, born and raised here, one…
I have recognized at some point that I had something similar, but originating in my childhood. Most of the time I would be told to do something vague (e.g. clean your room), and no matter how much did I do, the feedback…
I'm renting an apartment in Germany in a building from around 1900 and I do have a clause requiring me to open my windows at least once a day for at least 5 minutes. Not sure that if it's legally enforceable, but if…
It's not like those elections are fair anyway?
I've seen them folded like that in restaurants, but the homemade ones are usually folded with a plain edge.
I no longer live there, but when I visit now, I often see the name "Kresowe" having replaced "Ruskie", Kresy being the name of a historical region around the Polish/Ukrainian border.
Polish from Poland here: no need to roll them out thin. Might be a variation found in your family, but typical pierogi - including those made by my Grandma - have some fluff. A different thing is how do you make the…
We had a Brazilian come to visit us in Europe and she was wondering why do we insist on using Sicilian lemons instead of the "normal" ones. When she went out to buy limes, she understood it at the cash desk.
Yes, but we are talking about YouTube, aren't we?
I just don't get people who discuss the morality of ad blocking. You see the corporation as a human, while it sees you as an optimization metric.
This is me. I stopped trying to be organized, because I know that as soon as there is some inconvenience or difficulty organizing, I will just get overwhelmed and drop everything I was trying to do. For example, I just…
I don't know if it's universally a common sense standpoint with regard to everyone. Some people have a purpose to provide to their family and leave a legacy; this is a goal that can be fulfilled. But what if your life…
I know one person that's the kind this post is referring to. They will more or less unknowingly sabotage their friendships because they are not able to understand that not everyone is up to date or even caring about…
Wow, someone I (somewhat) know in person featured on HN. I haven't heard from him in a long while (and even then, he was a friend of a friend who happened to show up from time to time). Then, he got lucky publishing…
That's 100% the thing. KitKat for example has recently been taking hits to its reputation because there have been instances of groping in there and they've been ignored by the club stuff. Now that they let Till…
The only difference with today would be that not speaking German no longer means that you are visiting. Boroughs such as Friedrichshain or Neukölln are full of expats, including young Americans who did not yet realize…
In practice, "Keine Werbung" means "No advertisements except for moving services". These are the only ones that don't give a shit.
From what I see in the news from the US the free speech cause is basically about freedom to harass, so DMCA notices fit well into this narrative.
