That was the most random forum...

Learned that installing larger, compatible RAM sticks does not guarantee an instant speed boost (in this case 2GBx2 > 4GBx2).

It's memebase. It's infested with trolls.

[HayWire]

I've stayed in Memebase long enough to know many things.

Most importantly...
...The list of shock-sites helps...

Apparently...one of my classmates is part-viking.

chau is a slang for chigau, which means wrong or different
akan is for referring to something as useless or no good

@iraya-sama and cabs
forgot to put in that its for Osaka-ben ^^U

and more Osaka-ben learnings (from youtube and the interwebs):
add shi at the end of a sentence/phrase for amazement or surprise.
add yan at the end if you want to put emphasis on the statement (or something to that effect).
particle da -> ya
particle yo -> de or wa
ahou is used when using "stupid" teasingly or as a joke
baka is used when you mean it

Memebase you say? *types it into search engine* This should be interesting...

@zero_kanipan
Learning Japanese through Romaji I see, it may also help to have the matching hiragana and katakana on the side to learn the syllables in the language.

Learned today that waiters/waitresses in the United States now expect 15-20% of the total cost of the meal as tips. The amount of tips can vary greatly from restaurants to restuarants (15-50% ) and can be "adjusted" by the customer's interpretation of the service provided.

@medusa
i already know hiragana and katakana, and a few kanji. im trying to learn the Osakan dialect, but it seems i need to master normal Japanese first.
