    For languages that don't use traditional letters - like Chinese, Japanese, etc. - how do linguists translate proper names into English. Like I'm watching a Japanese wrestling show, how does 竹下幸之介 get translated to Konosuke Takeshita?

    Ya'll ever feel like you get a backlog of personal chores to take care of, working too much? Felt like that today and got an early start. Did a few chores, signed daughter up at another summer camp, few other things, etc.

    While at the last stop, while in parking lot saw a wallet on the road. Scooped it up, pretty hefty wallet, Louis Vuitton brand, bunch of cash inside and tons of credit cards and what not.
    First thought was damn, it would really suck to lose something like this.
    Looked at the first credit card and Googled their name. Way too many matches to do anything with that.
    Sat down on bench and thought about what to do. Dug around in wallet and found the driver's license. Googled name and address. Out of state, hmm.
    Called 1st phone number I found - disconnected
    Called 2nd phone number I found - ANSWERED! Spoke with them and identified it was theirs and they were in the store right next to me. He came out right away and shook my hand and was thankful.

    It was a good day. Good deed done and got a lot done to catch up on personal stuff.

    You had to google the name and address to know it was out of state? Doesn’t the ID say what state it’s from?

    Me: "Can I please have a wakeup call scheduled for 6am tomorrow"

    Hotel: "Do you actually want to be woken up or just for us to call"

    Well now I'm confused about what the hell a wakeup call entails

    My great great grandfather went to med school in the early 1900’s I found the school year book for his graduating year online and found his name and what not

    I also noticed that one of his classmates was from Russia, this would have meant that he was a subject of Czar Nicholas

    I sometimes wonder if they even knew each other but assuming that they at least had a passing knowledge of one another I wonder how that painted my ancestors view of the changes in Russia over the next 20-30 years

    It’s a bad bad movie, but Sphere and Andromeda Strain are worse in terms of good source to bad adaptation. I forget if Timeline was a good book or not, but that was another stinker of a movie.

    It was later established she was asking me if I wanted her gfs IV company to come to the room to wake us up - but the phrasing was initially confusing to say the least.
