Native English, conversational japanese, survival German (I was conversational at one point, but it’s mostly gone), a tiny bit of french (same as German), very basic Spanish, and a tiny bit of Hebrew (I wanted to learn something in the semitic family and it seemed less intimidating than Arabic to start with)

tiredofsametab@kbin.runto Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•It's fine until you run out of disk space1·9 months agoI don’t want to see the EXPLAIN for that query. This person really needs to learn more about sql, I’d wager.
tiredofsametab@kbin.runto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's your most profound "small world" moment?9·9 months agoI grew up in a very small Ohio town. I moved to Houston, Texas and met one person from the same town and later one from a town over at a bar.
I quit Facebook/etc. not long after moving to Tokyo. I ran into a guy from Columbus, Ohio that I knew from when I lived there.
I’ve also run into friends of friends randomly in Tokyo.
Now, I love away from Tokyo in the countryside, so I’ll be super surprised if I meet anyone again, but who knows.
Edit: for context, on a business day, there are more than 30 million people plus tourists in the Tokyo metro

I resolved to stop paying full price for anything Pitchford and his touch based on a number of factors. I did buy the latest BL game when it was on a big sale and thoroughly hated the main story and various plotholes (seemingly from cuts made by the company/directors rather than the writers). I bought Tiny Tina (again, on sale for over half off) and it was a game with all kinds of bugs that just never got fixed – it’s the first game I didn’t immediately roll a new character to replay after beating it. At this point, I’m not sure I would buy anything else they put out.
tiredofsametab@kbin.runto Firefox@lemmy.ml•Mozilla wants users to take part in a survey about browser features1·9 months agoI debated because I really disliked another option in there (I think it was split-screen for AI or something stupid) and it felt like it was designed to make me not rank something else I didn’t like as least desired.
The US and it’s people are often super loud. I say this as one who traveled and now lives in Japan. I didn’t notice right away and had to work hard to lower my normal volume
tiredofsametab@kbin.runto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People who used older macintosh OS in the 90s, what was it like for your daily use, work, games etc?2·9 months agoI used them for word processing stuff in school and it was fine. I was mostly working on Amiga at home at the time, moreso than DOS/Windows.
I don’t think it adds anything and the extra button press probably reduces accessibility.
tiredofsametab@kbin.runto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What has been the worst church service you have ever attended?12·9 months agoI threw up in one once. I actually don’t recall anything any worse than what it usually was. I actually went further into the evangelical baptist rabbit hole as my family drifted a bit from it, but that would reverse and end with me being an atheist-leaning agnostic.
I do remember Sunday school teachers being angry that I was allowed to have D&D books and games. In a different church when I was in middle or high school, I quoted the movie name “Oh God you Devil” and my buddy whose family took me to church slapped me. That was a good time. /s

Cucumbers and okra have been our two most successful things so far. Most of my herbs are doing OK as well, I suppose. We’ve hit 35 a couple times this year. The forecast has us mostly in the upper 20s and low 30s for the next few weeks. I just got second planting potatoes in, so we’ll see how that goes. I planted a bunch of daikon radish, it came up nicely, then died a couple of days later. I’m not sure if it’s the intense sun and heat or if I needed to get water to them again sooner. I’ve still got more seeds, so I might try planting them again later in the season.
tiredofsametab@kbin.runto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•The specific thing you spend the most time doing instead of the actual job you're being paid to do is your new profession. What's your new job title?2·9 months agoI live in a rural area in northern Japan.
We just started a few months ago (we were supposed to get the house last year but, due to various factors, we couldn’t take possession and get moved in until just before April). We’re definitely learning a lot about farming and what works for our land and environment but, because of the time we got the house, we’ve been super rushed. I think we’ll do better next year.
My goal is to position myself to deal with a lot of products foreigners living in Japan want and have trouble getting. That’s a lot of peppers, different types of beans, etc.
well, for one, sunscreen! Sunburnt heads suck. Hats as well.
It took some getting used to (I’ve gone through phases of shaving my head and having long hair. Recently, since I work outside in the heat, I hit it with the clippers every few days leaving just < 1mm. You’ll probably just get used to your new style which will help the confidence which helps everything else.
It’s what is collected at the end of some Super Mario World levels.
I’m from the US and moved to Japan in my 30s. I lived in Tokyo up until a few months ago, but now live in rural northern Japan.

Honestly, it’d just go to stuff I need for the house. There’s a lot of canning stuff I want but I need to import it from the US (pressure canning isn’t a thing here in Japan and even water-bath canning is super rare so supplies are sparse and expensive). I’d also get a chainsaw and wood chipper. I would pay someone to do a full tune-up on my tractor and maybe get a mower attachment. Anything else, I’d basically put in the account that I use to pay my mortgage and for any home expenses.

What's your new job title?6·9 months agoI basically do farming at the level of a second job, so I suppose it would be that even though I don’t do it commercially (yet).
