I teach Japanese at university level and I've spent years watching learners hit the same wall: kanji. The standard advice is "use a mnemonic app" or "grind Anki decks." Both can work, but neither is teaching you what's actually going on inside kanji. So I want to share something that changed how my students relate to kanji — and then mention the app I built around it (full disclosure upfront). **The thing nobody explains: phonetic radicals** About 80% of kanji are 形声文字 (けいせいもじ、phono-semantic compounds). That means they have two components: one that hints at meaning, and one that predicts the on'yomi reading. Most learners are pro...

First off I'm loving this game, got it for less than 2 quid on sale in the Xbox store and already got more than my moneys worth, anyway: **Is the only way to heal by picking up those heart jars as you go around?** healing seems to be a a real issue for me **Is it usual to die quite a lot?** lol **Do you get any benefits for your next run after you die?** The furthest I got was the second boss, just about to start my second run this second, hence the post. **is there any specific things in the store that I should be snapping up if it's there?** And **any general tips for a beginner to this game/genre?** Thanks in advance.

It is estimated that approximately 2% or less of the total Epstein files have been released to the public. And even among those emails that were released, most of them are redacted and censored af. So basically we know almost nothing of what's actually going on. This begs the question. Why are they not releasing all the files or at least most of them? So let's speculate a bit. In my opinion the most classified stuff that will never be revealed to the public would reveal that: 1. The elite are not just pedophiles but actual satanists who sacrifice children and drink their blood/possibly eat them as well (Epstein emails where they talk about "eating jerky" already allud...

***The deployment of Flock Safety LPRs at the St. Marys River (FL/GA line) highlights the rapid expansion of a nationwide surveillance infrastructure. And I took these photos on September 23rd 2023.*** ***These cameras capture more than just license plates; they create detailed vehicle profiles that are stored in a searchable database accessible by thousands of agencies.***  ***The "nothing to hide" argument ignores a fundamental shift: the transition from targeted investigation to mass, warrant-less monitoring of the general public.*** ***While proponents promise a "crime-free future," the reality is a persistent loss of personal privacy and the creation of a digit...

If anyone is interested in a website, I'll do it. Pay me if you like it or I'm happy to store it on my portfolio (I have to start from scratch after I got kicked out!) I am from Estonia and I only worked for 1 company for years. I was redundant yesterday. I was working with hundreds of startups while I was working at my previous workplace. However, I cannot show them as my work. So I will start again. I understand that you can't trust me, so I'll build first. I can design very affordable yet beautifully done sites, also great e-commerce sites and develop MVP too. I had to withdraw all of my funds to support my family medical emergency last month and then guess what my...

Is Zionist influence disproportionate in global politics? Whilst all the Epstein related condemnation understandably focuses on the sex trafficking and paedophilia, I can't help but think the much bigger story is the influence Zionist Israel (who employed Epstein) has in global politics. A man with close links to Mossad and the Israeli government who found himself in the Whitehouse, number 10, Buckingham palace....in frequent contact with both ex and serving presidents and prime ministers across the globe. On the face of it he appears to be the most influencial man in politics over the last 20 years serving the interests of the Israeli government. I want justice for those children b...

hey all! not sure if anyone else experiences this but I genuinely cannot function in the morning, can’t shower, struggle to get out of bed, **** the transitions involved with dressing and getting ready. not sure if it’s necessarily just an autism thing (could be adhd executive dysfunction as well) but my senses seem to be particularly heightened in the morning and I’ve often been told that people take showers in the morning to “wake up” but for me that sounds like a sensory nightmare, I’m completely fine at night though. also, food in the morning is a complete sensory ick. typically I’m ok with textures although some things really bother me, but in the mornings *everything* (ev...

I have ardently defended (or at the very least been way less upset about) pretty much everything that has happened in this game for months and I was fine with doing that. I was fine trying to get others to see the good in it. I was fine being patient on features and maps and stuff because I get that it takes time and I appreciate the opportunity to play in early access. No problem. No complaints here. Then came the Tix exchange post and I felt uneasy. I cannot say that I have seen any feedback or complaint from anyone that they had too much currency for starting the next season pass. Nobody was annoyed they missed their chance to claim the items they skipped from that month's pass. Nob...

Stop Killing Games has come a long way in the two years since YouTuber Ross Scott got mad about [Ubisoft](https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/tag/ubisoft/)'s destruction of The Crew [in 2024](https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/stop-killing-games-campaign/). The short version is, he won: [1.3 million people](https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/final-count-for-stop-killing-games-petition-verifies-1-3-million-of-its-1-4-million-signatures-well-above-the-minimum-to-be-formally-considered-by-eu-politicians/) signed the group's petition, mandating its consideration by the European Union, and while Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot reminded us all that [nothing is forever](https://www.pcgam...

Long story short, I got COVID a while ago and it did some neurological damage. I have a problem with computer screens that flicker - specifically temporal dithering (FRC) and PWM. I’ve been on a quest to find a comfortable external display to connect my MacBook Pro to that is either true 10-bit, true 8-bit, or where FRC can be disabled or avoided. Im aware of the big players (Eizo, Viewsonic, Pro Display XDR) but seeing as being unable to use a computer has affected my work (I’m a music producer and audio engineer), I figured I’d start out cheaper to see if I can find a solution in the interim as I save up for a more permanent monitor solution. I’m partial to smaller screens (less l...

Running a business is already challenging. You manage staff, customers, inventory, and daily operations. But one hidden problem can destroy everything overnight — pests. Rodents in a restaurant, cockroaches in an office kitchen, or flies in a warehouse do not just look unpleasant. They damage reputation, fail inspections, and cost money. In many cases, a single customer complaint online can push away hundreds of potential customers. This is why [commercial pest control Scarborough](https://aiopestcontrol.com/) services are not optional anymore. They are a necessary part of business maintenance just like cleaning, security, and insurance. AIO Pest Control works with businesses across Sca...

I have an HP probook 445 G8 that I installed headless debian on and so far I've set up both Samba and Jellyfin in docker containers. I have two 2TB western digital external hard drives, and another 1TB one. (https://www.westerndigital.com/products/portable-drives/wd-elements-portable-usb-3-0-hdd?sku=WDBU6Y0020BBK-WESN) My initial plan was to make five 1Tb partitions, with three of them spread out across the three drives and using raid 5. The other two partitions would be used for storing less important data. People seem to be against doing raid on USB and using external USB hard drives in general, but I don't have a lot of extra money to spend on buying higher quality stuff. They ...

When I was younger I used to have a recurring dream that I was in a mental hospital. It was severely run down and damaged. Every time I had this specific dream I would roam down the hallways looking for something but I didn't know what I was looking for. Anytime I would have that dream I would be drawn to a room but everytime it was a different room. But one thing stayed the same: the girl, looking out the window in a floral print white and blue dress which is an image that will never leave my brain. I would then approach her and ask her where we are, who she is, and why we are the only people here. One major thing that stuck out about this dream is it has a certain hue to it like less ...

Noelle Grayson sat alone in the quiet of her office at Grand Tracen Academy, the late-afternoon sun cutting golden bars across the floor. Paperwork was stacked neatly, too neatly, as if she’d been trying to organize her thoughts into something filing-cabinet simple. Her gaze drifted to the window, past the track, past the training field, past the students laughing as if the world didn’t have the habit of rewriting people. It started as a laughable rumor. A virus is going around. A weird one. Not the kind that put you in bed with a fever. The kind that put you in the mirror with someone else’s face staring back. Noelle let out a breath through her nose, equal parts amused and bitte...

Pascal in his wager said that whoever bets on the existence of God suffers no loss if he is later proven wrong, but that whoever bets on the non-existence of God suffers great loss if he is later proven wrong. From my perspective, the Church who prepares for something suffers no loss if that thing never happens, but the Church who fails to prepare for something that does eventually happen suffers greatly. The Church suffered a great loss of authority because of her failure to prepare for the scientific revolution, which humiliated and then divided her due to interpretations of biblical cosmology that had been incorrect but had nevertheless become traditional and then woefully foundational in...
