I think about these a lot. It's a cool way to frame "how do we communicate to someone who may not share any languages or even iconography with us?"
Almost alien to think about. So cool.
The fact that me and a coworker can't both share our screens at the same time is absolutely batshit. 1x1 collaboration isn't even reasonable, nevermind anything more
Surely just mostly different keywords

Holy crap, incredibly lucky guess for me
Kauai Coffee is a relatively large operation that exports to the continental US and is more like $9 retail (and perpetually on sale for $7.50 or so) for a 10oz bag in the grocery store.
It's not cheap coffee, but it's certainly not top of the line priced coffee.
They do make some coffees that are more than $25/lb, but not the "regular* stuff people would buy in a store.
Of course I agree that their price will go up with the market with tariffs introduced, and that in general the tariffs are a terrible, terrible idea.
Super cool, I actually played in Japanese when I was in a good groove of learning a few years back, and felt like search was near unusable.
Now I'm learning Danish, so maybe I'll play in Danish to reinforce some random words
I feel the same, I've had a bunch of pixels since the 2
I'm going to be buying a Fairphone 5 when my current pixel needs replacing, which is coming soonish
Right, for sure if you were to pluralize emoji (which is singular) it wouldn't be emojus in japanese.
I was gonna toss some guesses here but it's a word I don't think you pluralize really, as we don't in English
Ah my favorite false cognate isn't here, that means I get to post about it!
Emoticon :) is emotion + icon in English, invented in the 80s or early 90s. Exactly what you think.
Emoji is Japanese 絵文字 which basically translates to "picture character". That word has been around for a long time; I don't know that I can put a date to it. But certainly a lot older than computers.
They just happen to sound similar
In reality, you're asking a VERY left part of the internet. Florida is a diverse and varied pla....
Nah just kidding, fuck Florida. Hawaii is incredible, too, and I'd really consider it if the budget allows. Also look at Bermuda, Bahamas, Puerto Rico
That's so cool!
How old (ish) were you when you moved?
Did you speak any Japanese before?
Any consideration towards relocating again?
Any other stories you want to share?
ありがとうございます、友達
Gotcha, okay. So you could do it either way, but for most people ($125k and below per person) it's probably just better to use the feie it seems
This is great, thanks for sharing all this.
Our boss was like "I'm sure he's mad but he'll cool off" for way too long lol
We also worked some insane hours across many locations so it wasn't abnormal to not see your office mates for weeks at a time
This is technically fired, but it's more like quitting. It doesn't perfectly fit this thread but I love telling this story.
A few months into my first real job, the engineers got their raises (not me, I was new). 0%, after record profits, the team busting their ass and working insane hours, and promises of good raises. I think they got some gift cards or something.
One of my coworkers goes back to his desk, packs some stuff, walks to his car, and doesn't come back. He got paid for a full month before they finally fired him. We got a beer after and he was like "oh I don't think I'm gonna go back" in the most Office Space way
If you got to start all over ....
We're moving to Denmark from the US soon, and are going to be (of course) selling our 120V setup and buying a whole new one. It's pretty exciting to be able to re-shop for things.
We currently have a Profitec GO and a Eureka Mignon Silencio grinder. I'd say my big want that we don't have is having warm water from the espresso machine easier to dispense (without small grounds in it) to pre warm cups, to make Americanos.
Either way, if you had the opportunity to do it all over again, would you change anything?
Moving from the US to the EU soon... Any advice?
Hi all!
We're very excited to move to Denmark soon as lifelong Americans. I have a good job lined up, and we're set on a place to live for a while.
Any advice from people who have done it, looked it up, had friends who have done it, etc? Just in general :)

My experience for the Mexico City GP 2022
Hello all--
I'm already missing reddit for r/GrandPrixTravel, so here's a little write-up of my experience in Mexico City last year for the GP.
I've been to COTA, Montreal, Shanghai, Mexico City, Suzuka, and Silverstone for the GPs. Mexico City was absolutely fantastic and one of the best experiences I've had at an F1 weekend.
We went in large part because we were sticker shocked at the GA prices for COTA last year (and this year at that), and said "surely we can fly to CDMX and see the GP for the costs of flying to Austin for the GP." and we could! let's break that part down:
We were lucky and nailed the timing to get a Scott's Cheap Flights from CLT to MEX directly for $279 per person. Typical prices are $400-500 for that route.
We ended up missing the window for seats booked directly through the circuit (which we usually prefer to do) and ended up buying them through Grand Prix Events. We spend $1065 ($533pp) for 2 tickets in Foro Sol Norte (the stadium!).
Hotel was super cheap, and super nice. Just over $90 per night, and we did Friday - Monday (so 3 nights).
Food was also cheap and fantastic. Both at the stadium and just around the city. There's a weird system at the GP: you buy a card, load it with money, then can only spend that to buy stuff. Water was ~$1.50 and beer was ~$4.
Transport was cheap*, since it was all by train. 5 pesos per direction per person (like $0.30). Trains were of course busy, especially after the GP, but it didn't take much longer than normal.
This gives up $946.5 per person for travel, hotel, and F1 tickets, plus whatever food costs. You can definitely do much cheaper there, but for the $1,000 mark it's hard to have better seats from the US.
We mostly did F1 and Dia de los Muertos stuff, but there was a ton to see nearby. For Dia de los Muertos there was a subway station closed near the plaza (where we stayed), so we had to talk one subway stop away. Like any F1 race, we gave ourselves a few hours of buffer so it wasn't a big deal.
As for the race, we had AMAZING seats, got free Checo shirts (to make the crowd look like the Mexican flag in the stadium), cheered a ton (especially for Checo; when in Rome), got bootleg merch for almost nothing right outside the event.
It's a slightly weird one, in that you can only get in to your section with your ticket and can't freely roam around (even on Friday). So you don't see the whole track.
Of course after the GP, we went onto the track to watch the podium and have a beer on track. We walked down the whole front straight, checked out the pits, take photos, etc. All said, a really cool weekend, not horrifically expensive, and a very fun crowd. If you're on the fence, go to CDMX!
*I did get my phone pick pocketed immediately after the Friday session at the train station. A few people bumped into me in a row and next thing I knew my phone was gone from my front pocket. I spend $180 on a cheap random phone in Mexico and restored my backup and was off to the races again (with bad battery life and a terrible camera). That was a bummer; definitely keep a close eye on your stuff in CDMX.
