Don’t reset to 30s for each word. Just add 30s (or 20s). So if I am fast in the early rounds, I am rewarded in later rounds by having 1:43 to work on a word I am completely stuck on.

I bought the $21.99 Chinese replacement “Sennheiser” pads from Amazon. Straightforward to replace (though not trivial). Very comfortable. My headset feels as good as new.

That’s also a great example. I’m gonna write these down so I can illustrate tones to my native English speaking friends.

You can also say “I DON’T KNOW!” in a 1-1-4 tone sequence.

> For example, "uh-oh" has a high-low pitch. If you say it wrong it sounds very strange. "Uh-huh" to show understanding goes low-high. Again, if you reverse it it sounds unusual.

Wow… Thanks for making it clear that English also has tones! I hadn’t thought of it this way before. “Uh-huh” sounds similar to Mandarin tones 3 & 2. “Uh-oh” is similar to Cantonese tones 1 & 3.

I’m wondering if we can find good examples to teach the Mandarin tones. I think two or three syllable words are best because it illustrates the contour of the tones.

I hate using html in comments.

Markdown in javadoc is at least 7/10 for me. Improves comment readability for humans while allowing formatted javadocs.

I use git icdiff (a plugin) in my terminal. I use Zed and VSCode GUI editors, but I don’t care to use their git tools. Command line git is fine.

Is that a fancy dancy version of Sakura Sakura (probably the most famous Japanese folk song)?

Thanks for the morning chuckle. As a 2x parent I remember the poop blowouts (fondly?)....
