For Japanese specifically, I’m using Renshuu (free) and Wanikani for kanji ($9/mo) and loving both of them.

Remember when their account signup page said “It’s free, and always will be”? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Oh good. Now they’re literally paying the karma-farming bots to spam recycled and stolen content. That will surely end well.

I’m extremely surprised that the number is only 95%.

So we’re keeping the reddit trend of posting any tabloid-level “headline” about Musk as if it’s technology news?

The case involved a grain buyer sending out a mass text to drum up clients and a farmer agreeing to sell 86 tons of flax for around $13 per bushel. The buyer texted a contract agreement to the farmer and asked for the farmer to “confirm” receiving the contract. He issued a thumb’s up emoji as receipt of the document, but backed out of the deal after flax prices increased.

The buyer sued the farmer, arguing that the thumb’s up represented more than just receipt of the contract. It represented an agreement to the conditions of the contract, and a judge agreed, ordering the farmer to cough up nearly $62,000, likely causing a string of puke emojis.

What a bunch of horseshit. I can see a thumbs-up emoji being used as an explicit sign of confirmation, but even in the context, the farmer never indicated any willingness to sign the contract. Receiving a contract and signing a contract are two entirely different things.

I only watched the movie once, but IIRC they missed a fairly substantial subplot about Gurney Halleck strongly believing that Jessica had betrayed the Atreides. Other than that, I was pretty happy with what they did and didn’t decide to cut for time.
