<raptop> Okay, now just need to cook something
<raptop> Incidentally, I think the cashier had to make a SAN check at how much food I got into a single basket
<raptop> (This resulted in walking a cart to my apt, unloading it, and walking it back)
<WeylandsWings> raptop: how many people at the store were wearing masks and how many were wearing them correctly
<raptop> For some reason ~5% were not (I think one person who forgot to put one on on entering, and at one point a security force person)
<raptop> I didn't see anything glaringly wrong
<raptop> er, otherwise
<WeylandsWings> raptop: do you use any other apps for language learning other than Duo? like for Vocab?
<raptop> Uh, I've been messing a around bit with human japanese, and have at various times been suggested wanikani and kanji tree
<WeylandsWings> hrm dont think either of those will have german
<raptop> Unsurprisingly!
<raptop> I guess there's rosetta stone for general languages

<e_14159_> WeylandsWings: German? You want to roll a SAN check? :D
<raptop> e_14159_: consider: it means that one could read a certain 1905 paper in the origional language
<raptop> Also generally nice for collaborating with $MPI
<e_14159_> $MPI = Max Planck?
raptop has quit [Ping timeout: 189 seconds]
<UmbralRaptop> yes
<e_14159_> I'd assume they speak better English on average than German
<UmbralRaptop> oh?
<e_14159_> I mean, they're researchers, so they're probably a mix of non-native speakers and people mostly interacting in English professionally
<UmbralRaptop> makes sense
* UmbralRaptop imagines visiting one and discovering that half the people are Californians
<e_14159_> Probably slightly fewer than that :D

<WeylandsWings> working on like the Nav sensors?
<e_14159_> WeylandsWings: My impression is that German is a horrible language to learn
<WeylandsWings> e_14159_: why? I mean it probably isnt a useful as say Chinese (mandarin) or Spanish or Hindi or Portuguese based on number of speakers in the world
<WeylandsWings> but i am not learning it for utility, i am learning it because I want to learn it and have always been interested in it
SilverFoxy has quit [Ping timeout: 202 seconds]
<WeylandsWings> Like if i wanted a language that would actually be useful to me at my work, i would need to learn Russian or Mandarin, but there is no incentive for me to learn those languages (monetarily or otherwise) and I personally have litte interest in them
<WeylandsWings> Also the same things could probably be said about raptop and SnoopJeDi learning Japanese. Based on the number of speakers there are better languages for us to be learning
<raptop> I mean, yes. This is explicitly about anime/manga and games <_<
<WeylandsWings> Oh I am not judging, just making the comment that there are likely better languages for us to learn based on utility
<e_14159_> WeylandsWings: I'm primarily talking about difficulty to learn it. Many people I've spoken to who learn it lament that difficulty
<WeylandsWings> e_14159_: i mean it is easier than any language that doesnt use the latin alphabet, https://www.state.gov/foreign-language-training/ has it as a category 2
<WeylandsWings> and once again, i am learning it because I want to learn it, yes there are easier languages, but i dont want to learn those
<e_14159_> And learning it because you want to is definitely the best reason to do so :-)
<raptop> e_14159_: I mean, there's no language with a difficulty below "very hard"
<WeylandsWings> especially as we are all older people and will likely never achieve true Fluency
<e_14159_> Well, you could always try living in a country to learn the language :-)
