    I have a merge request open for some version of better topic filtering. I could probably include domain filtering.

    Same meaning, but "shou ga nai" is casual, whereas "shigata (or shikata) ga nai" is more formal.

    A few of my favorites from Japanese:

    • しょうがない (shouganai): It basically means "it can't be helped", or "there's nothing to be done about it". I quite like it as a way to respond to the many inconveniences of life; something sucks, it's no one's fault, there's no good solution, so it's best just to put up with it.
    • スッキリ (sukkiri): This one's a little tougher to translate, but it's something like "refreshing", or "a weight has been lifted off one's shoulders". It's something you might say after taking a nice shower, or putting your room in order. It has a strong connotation of cleanliness.
    • やる気 (yaruki): This is "the drive or will to get something done". I find myself reaching for this word a lot. I feel like there's a state of "task motivation" that I get into, and this word perfectly describes that state.

    Thanks, I just got the toolbar working, and it does indeed have a lot of information. However, I don't see the output of my logging statement anywhere. I've added a logging.info("hello") to the get_group_topics function, which I believe gets run every time a request is made for the home page. I see there is a "Logging" tab in the Pyramid debug toolbar, but it is disabled for me.

    I suppose logging doesn't get written to disk anywhere?

    If I have a quick Tildes dev question, where should I ask it? For an example that is not actually just an example, but the actual question which drove me to post, where can I found logging output?...

    If I have a quick Tildes dev question, where should I ask it?

    For an example that is not actually just an example, but the actual question which drove me to post, where can I found logging output? Specifically, if I want to print out something every time a request comes in, how should I do so?

    Thanks for the recommendations. I'll take a listen.

    Honestly a big part of karaoke is that you know and enjoy the song you're singing, so my real recommendation is to listen to some Japanese music and try to find stuff you enjoy.

    Yeah, I actually quite like Japanese rock, and have several songs I'd like to sing at karaoke. The problem is they're not quite popular enough to show up in most (maybe any?) karaoke libraries here in the US.

    Every now and then, my Japanese class and I head out to sing karaoke. I've never really been a fan of karaoke, but perhaps that's because most karaoke libraries don't really have any of the songs I've learned and/or want to sing.

    So does anyone have any recommendations for Japanese karaoke songs? I'm not mentioning my personal music taste to keep the topic general, but feel free to ask if you're interested in helping me in particular.
