Every time I think I’ve managed to erase NetWare from my brain, someone has to drag it back up angry fist-shaking

In Japan, there are a couple of chains that exist and smaller restaurants (basically all in the areas where foreigners are and moreso near US militar bases). “Taco rice” is a local take that is basically taco ingredients served over rice instead of in a taco shell. Almost all of the places are adjusted to Japanese tastes by default, so a lot lower on the spice. Lots of foreigners living here end up going to one of a couple of places (two of which are basically Chipotle knock-offs for however “Mexican” you might consider that) or giving up and making their own. We did get Taco Bell a few years ago (again “Mexican”) which has a more limited menu. I wasn’t impressed, but I never cared for US Taco Bell, either, but it had lines lasting hours the first days/weeks it was open.

I think I may have seen a video or two. Specifically, the content on the Japan subreddits is more about navigating very specific visa or legal or financial issues that generally require tailored advice.

The only thing I still go to reddit for are the communities based on living in Japan and financial stuff in Japan. They never wanted to move over and have super useful info by people living here for decades that really help visa, legal, and financial issues.

I think the only binaries I have are tiny samples used by a couple of tests in that repo. I generally try to avoid them altogether.

Yeah, I’m generally overseas and many things need a US number for 2fa. It’s the only thing that I still need it for. Translate as well for Japanese.

These are older lessons and I’m generally pretty effective at pushing back on those now. I’m not a manager, though, so I can be overruled.

safe for me

Well that’s no fun :P

“Do this as a temporary measure. We will code it properly later” —> code that is hackish and will never be replaced.

“We need you to do this one time because of someBullshit” —> congratulations, your team had to do this thing outside of your specialty, even though there exists a team dedicated to it, and now we’re just going to make you do it over and over again (despite, again, a whole team dedicated to that existing).

Hopefully it’s not too heavy a lift.

Well, that’s a new one (assuming it’s not referring to a physical object) to me

I do Rust and Go and VSCode has been fine for both so far. I put off trying it for ages out of a hatred/distrust of MS products, but I’m quite happy with it.

Looking at how even WWII units were segregated, schools not getting integrated until the '60s, etc. I’m unfortunately not sure they really lost to begin with (which should not be allowed to pass again if there is a next time).

It’s the end of the world (as we know it)?

Worry, mostly (as a US citizen living overseas). I doubt my family would want to come over, and I doubt Japan would even issue visas for them to do so (on most SoRs, you can only bring over dependent family who are financially and/or medically dependent upon you. None of my family pass this test).

It really would depend upon what kind of conflict it became. If it involved the armed forces even currently overseas (though I doubt it), presumably, a number of nations would do whatever the hell they felt like if they felt emboldened enough by a preoccupied US. This would be checked in Europe, but I’m less sure about Asia. Then again I’m just a normal dude.

Historically, double-negatives were considered proper or required in some dialects of English (or what would become English depending upon where one might draw that line). Many other languages require some form of negative agreement in negative sentences.

At work, at school, etc. are doing the same thing in US English. People are generally not saying “at my/the/a school/work”.

If you’re going to fix the calendar, we should move SEPTember to position 7, OCTober to 8, NOvember to 9, and DECember to 10 where they belong (or just rename them all to be number-based instead of an arbitrary mish-mash of numbers, people (Julius, Augustus, etc.), and so on).

I can’t get behind that for fast-food-tier food. In fact, the opposite is always true for me.

Mistakes like “you’re” vs “your” are generally not made by people learning English as a second language unless they’ve only learned by speaking (in which case, I’d expect all their spelling to be a mess given that English is a mess). Same with “could of” instead of “could’ve”.

Less could historically be used in any case and still can today. The distinction was first suggested by a guy a couple hundred years ago.
