I remember doing this as a child on our TV that had a picture-in-picture setting. I would set the same channel twice and cross my eyes pretending that it was 3d TV.
How does that work when the two images are different sizes and overlapping? Did your PiP mode have a split screen option? The ones I've seen only allowed moving where the insert was placed (which corner), but it was always a PiP and never a split screen.
Yeah, this is more of the nuance, my rough translation would be:
“He had many projects he was passionately working on and many more things he wanted to accomplish, it’s unfortunate (that he won’t be able to complete them)”.
I think it’s less about driving non-stop cross country and more about how much of a long term decision and investment purchasing a car is. Even if only 1/100 trips I take is over 100 miles I still might want the car I purchase to be able to make that trip.
Knowing both English and Japanese it's fascinating to see what Japanese words the English speaking world finds interesting. All sources seem to point back to the 2014 article by Jonathan Crow.
In essence I see this as the equivalent of "backlog" in most cases, i.e. (my backlog) is piling up. And is otherwise a fairly straight forward concept to convey in English. Hardly "untranslatable", and seems rather silly to import a word that's more or less a pun that would be lost upon all of the people using it.
One thing the English wikipedia doesn't mention is that 積んでおく (tsundeoku) has a contraction/slang form 積んどく (tsundoku) which I think solidifies the play on words to create 積読.
I have! But it's too small for what I'm chasing :) Very cool gadget in it's own right however -- but I want to do a bigger keyboard for comfortable typing on it for writing prose
There’s actually three different types, 実印 (official stamp, registered at your local ward office etc), 銀行印 (bank stamp registered when you open a bank account) and 認印 (informal approval seal). For 実印 and 銀行印 the stamp has to be directly tied to your official name. But the last of which can pretty much be anything which is what this is.
