It's not really an age limitation, but it's much easier to use "chan" for kids. Basically -chan for girls and -kun for boys is used pretty much automatically for smaller kids, even if you meet them for the first time. Fo

I recently sent my Steam Deck for RMA, and interestingly in the packing instruction to send it, Valve tells to do a factory reset. Which I did. First I thought it was to simplify their tests when they get it, but now I'm thinking it co

That's how you're supposed to use a traditional Japanese toilet, facing the flush. Now granted, traditional Japanese toilets are getting rare in Japan, it's mostly western style toilets now.

Yes it used to be expensive in the 90's but it stayed flat while the rest of the world saw inflation especially in housing. And yes, if you see it as a touristic destination it's not cheap, just as doing tourism in NYC isn't

I prefer Gnome but I also use KDE because that's what's on my Steam Deck. Both work great and have all the features I need, but KDE feels a bit boring, a bit "Windows XP" while Gnome seems like a more modern desktop to m

They're not opposite. "If it ain't broke don't fix it" => don't try to "optimize" something that works well. Maybe it will be able to handle more load after your big refactor, but if it already han
