@zstark Does that mean I am a criminal now?

@lucifargundam It sounds like you only have to put the food outside to heat them up, heh.

But with microwave you can't do much about the taste, alas. Maybe an airfryer could still help, but I've not used mine to reheat pizza with.

@robflop Hehe, I'll check those later. But Spaced Repetition System sounds familiar, I believe my note systems got plugins for that. I guess I might actually investigate those then, thanks!

@robflop Oh, I meant to ask what an SRS system is? You mentioned it a few times and I can't figure out what SRS stands for.

@robflop I see. I don't really do Romaji, I do use my inner voice. I mean, if I see the kana for 'na', I need to know how to 'pronounce' it for myself with my inner voice. That's where the so-called Romaji part comes in since I can't hear the pronouncation and memorize that instead. Plus the testing sites ask me to type the Latin letters for those kana, so I need to be able to type that as well.

Oh, and I'll pronounce those Romaji the Dutch way, too... ;) I have no fucking clue how English is spoken! English with my inner voice will sound all butchered up. :D

@robflop That's a fair amount of bookmarks I'm going to make. ;)

Checked out this kana.pro briefly, thought at first 'meh' until I got to stage 4, that's actually challenging. I also noticed that here and there there seems to be slight spelling differences, so I'll have to pay attention to that as well. Guess it's time to set up my note system to note all the little details.

I'll have to brush up my Hiragana a bit (it's just the small details I make mistakes at, easily remedied) and will indeed continue with Katakana. Glad to read that the site I'm using is a good resource to start with.

Thanks for the suggestions, I've bookmarked a bunch. Maybe I can actually chat with my RL Japanese friends in their own language someday. :D

@lucifargundam How do you reheat it? Microwave or oven?

I know some people who prefer to eat their day-old pizza cold. Straight out of the fridge.

I tend to not add anything else on it when reheating in the oven. I mean, it tasted good before, it'll taste good again.

@robflop I wouldn't mind some advice. I've been slacking the past few months, but I can still (slowly) spell out hiragana, so I've not really forgotten that, which is good!

I'd been using this site as a starting point:
https://www.tofugu.com/learn-japanese/

and via that site went on to memorize the characters here:
https://www.tofugu.com/japanese/learn-hiragana/

and then tested myself via:
https://kana-quiz.tofugu.com

I suspect I probably should go learn Katakana next, via that same site.

Keep in mind that I cannot hear, so ponouncation is lost on me. I really need to know what (Latin) letters those kana are associated with so I can spell them with my inner voice.

That is another thing Duolingo really was bad at. It allows you to hear the pronouncation, but doesn't show the Latin letters for it so I can't memorize those Kanji because I have no point of reference to remember them by.

Learning Japanese in Duolingo seems very... inefficient. It assumes you already know Hiragana while it's teaching you Hiragana. Well, I do already know Hiragana but that's besides the point. It even throws some Kanji in there, I'm not sure this is a good way of learning a new language with their own set of characters.

Whoopitydoo, we've got covid shanties now!

Subtitles are pretty good and there's hardcoded English subs. :)

@freemo Oh, that's because I'd been slacking lately...

@freemo Uh oh, should I post less? 😅

@Lydiaconwell You know... why would anyone even want to wear those kind of clothes? There's plenty of stupid people in the world and you're basically going to parade naked for all of them!

@lydiaconwell Sounds boring, to be honest. The strength of humanity lies in the fact that we don't know shit and want to figure things out. For better or worse.

@lydiaconwell No, you'd go to a real cafe instead for a real cup of cappuccino!

@lydiaconwell Noooooooooooo!

I wonder how many different movies can be made of Cinderella, there doesn't seem to be any end in sight. Also, Germans sure love making fairy tale movies. They must've produced a gajillion of those by now.

Symphonia is free to claim on GOG and Itchio.. It looks like a gorgeous platformer with a music theme. The drawback seems to be that you'll either need a controller or a keyboard with a French layout. Heh, not something I see very often. :D

Oh, hey. Obsidian Mobile's now released!
https://obsidian.md/mobile

I'm going to try it out! Been waiting for this! :D

@Infoseepage The 100-to-10k is because of superspreader events here. The moment the clubs were allowed to be opened without restrictions and this 'testing for access' (which was a big fiasco as it got cheated with), was also the moment we immediately got hundreds of infections. This Dansen met Jansen was one of the worst ideas ever.

I don't visit clubs, bars, anything. I visit only my parents and the supermarket and the outdoors. I'm not in contact with the 19-29 year olds which are the majority of the infections now (80+%). They're in their own infection bubble and a fair amount of them are still unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated yet.

I'm definitely staying away from that stupidity.
