Some woman asked me for directions in French.
For a while I managed.
Then I started using Japanese words :frusty:
Foreign is foreign. My brain cannot but work this way.

Same happened to me when I tried to learn German. Somehow I would slip into English from time to time. Stupid brain.

Yeah, for me it's French and Italian. My command of each is limited enough as it is, no need to stumble into the other.

And sometimes I pick the wrong language (Dutch/English) while in the groggy waking up stage.

That was shocking.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Kate Spade and now Bourdain? Mental health is tough. :(

QuoteA Startup Set Its Scooters to Scream 'Unlock Me or I'll Call the Police' When They're Touched

It's happened to everyone: You're walking home, minding your own business, when no random devices suddenly screaming at you about how the police are coming if you happen to bump into them. Fortunately, someone is finally disrupting that space.

Scooter startup LimeBike, one of several services clogging cities across the U.S. with dockless electric scooters that can be rented via an app and have quickly earned the hatred of many locals, apparently thought it was a great idea to equip theirs with blaring alarms that say "unlock me to ride me, or I'll call the police."

I was just talking about this. One, already terrible that they are just leave junk around, hoping people like it, so then they have leverage against cities. And then that nonsense...

I think they probably have. Already they have had cities scooping them up and impounding them as you aren't allowed to just store things on the street when you feel like it.

Anyone have a fit bit?
I'm kind of tempted. But the lack of integration with s health is annoying.
