Futurology Today

Not really sure what the word is of what I'm looking for but...

I'm after chest freezer. It doesn't need to be working as I only need the shell.

I was thinking that I may be able to go to a recycling site and ask the staff there or something like that? I'm not sure if this is really a thing but I've definitely heard of people finding things that people have thrown away etc.

Do I just need to drive around my city looking for fly tipping/skips?

I've been thinking about sharing my app for free, no login, no need for an internet connection, no ads, no data collection... I made it for my personal usage, but since I like what I made, I've been thinking about sharing it.

Just wondering if any of you would be interested in using it. Wouldn't like to go through the tiering process of publishing it for no one to download it.

Anyway, I made it in order to learn to write kanji. I learn the kanji in context; instead of "食" I learn "食べる", and I use an example sentence for context, with text-to-speech to listen to it.

So in the Kanji section I get to select any kanji that I want to learn, then it goes to the Flashcards section where I have to write the kanji before checking the answer, and so it applies active recall and spaced repetition, much like Anki but with a nicer design made with Canva. Also way more simple, because I get overwhelmed by the amount of sections and options that most apps have nowadays.

What's also different about it is that I made a Vocab section that is initially empty, and as I learn kanji, the Vocab section gets populated. So if I'm already studying "一" and "人" from the Kanji section, then I get "一人" as an option in the Vocab section, and any other words that contain 一 or 人 plus any other kanji that I am learning, so maybe 一番 if 番 is already being learned. If I decide to learn a word from the Vocab section, it goes to the Flashcard section, where I have to guess the meaning and pronunciation before checking the answer, instead of having to write the kanji.

So a flashcard from the Kanji section looks like: "Person - ひと" + English example sentence. So I have to write 人 before checking the answer.

And a flashcard from the Vocab section looks like: "一人" + Japanese example sentence. So I have to guess the meaning and pronunciation before checking the answer.

There's also a Known section for the kanji and vocab that I considered learned. The review cycle goes like: review tomorrow, in 2 days, 4, 8, 16, 32, learned.

Anyway, here are some images. If some of you want to try it, I'll see about publishing it; otherwise, if you deem it redundant, I'll just keep it for myself haha

This is really interesting! I’ll try practicing vertical writing, and probably slowly with grids lol.

in the Does this make any sense thread.

平仮名/ひらがな Hiragana is derived from cursive scripts of Chinese characters. For example, the hiragana character し shi is derived from an abbreviated version of the 漢字 kanji 之. This character is pronounced shi in Japan, for which reason it was used to refer to the Japanese sound shi. Those kanji, like 之 shi, which form the root of hiragana, are known collectively as 字母 jibo, literally, letter-mothers.

I could not figure out how to attach a photograph to illustrate what I am trying to explain here, so I had to make an comment for that.

When you see ぶ bu and や ya in the following videos....

They are not hand written, but once you know what to look for, you now can see some kind of 連綿 renmen just only in one hiragana.

Hiragana characters are often written connected to each other. This is called Renmen (連綿). The places where Renmen lines are invisible is called Iren (意連), which means “ a connection of the soul”. That is, you still connect each single stroke to the next stroke, each single character to the next character, in your mind, and in the movements of your hand/arm, but the tip of the pen is not touched to the paper or your writing pressure is zero.

In Japan, sometimes it is said that nobody is writing any letter nor character, writing letters or characters is not what we are doing. What we are communicating is the movements of our hands. It is like someone smiles to you, then you smile back. The mirror neurons. You trace the writings of the writer. Then you feel the same.

Federal agents have been sweeping up Venezuelan migrants and sending them to a Salvadoran prison based in large part on tattoos depicting stopwatches, Michael Jordan logos and other ink art they claim betrays an allegiance to the Tren de Aragua street gang.

But internal U.S. Department of Homeland Security and FBI documents obtained by USA TODAY reveal federal authorities for years have questioned the effectiveness of using tattoos to identify members of Tren de Aragua, also known as TdA.

“Gang Unit collections determined that the Chicago Bulls attire, clocks, and rose tattoos are typically related to the Venezuelan culture and not a definite (indicator) of being a member or associate of the (TdA),” reads a 2023 "Situational Awareness" bulletin on the criminal gang written by the U.S. Custom and Border Protection’s El Paso Sector Intelligence Unit.

In another DHS document, titled “ICE Intel Leads,” a former Venezuelan police official interviewed by authorities said tattoos are “the easiest but least effective way” of identifying members of the criminal gang.

The internal documents, provided exclusively to USA TODAY by the open-government advocacy group Property of the People, come as pressure mounts on the Trump administration for refusing to provide information about the arrest and expulsion of hundreds of Venezuelans they claim are TdA members. The group requested the documents under open-records laws.

Attorneys for the detained migrants have said their clients have been swept up without due process and have been labeled gang members with flimsy evidence.

I'm not sure if this is the correct community, but I found it interesting/terrifying and was circulating in a local discord. It's made in Tableau.

The race is far from over, but the Asia Pacific has come out of the blocks much faster than the US and Europe in dealmaking activity this year.
