A calorie is a measure of heat like a degree or a thermometer. To lose calories, just get very cold.
this is actually very true
the reason it doesn't work is the "calories" listed on food are actually kilocalories
so you have to get very very very cold for a very long time
This fact constantly galls me.
So much about energy measurement does so:
Why is everything in kilocalorie and kilojoules? Like, in Australia we have our dietary requirements expressed in kJ , but they are actually kkJ. F uuuu
Why do Americans use a metric measurement of energy?
Wait, you use kkJ? Your total dietary requirement is 8.3? That seems really weird.

I am kinda glad my government doesn't fund people getting a PhD in anime.
Just saying... that doesn't seem like a great use of public funding.
I can think of a number of things your government funds that aren't great uses of it, but as it turns out I am not the dictator of what gets funded or not
If I managed to get a highly competitive scholarship based on my research and my academic merits, maybe there is value outside of whatever narrow fields of interest individuals decide are "worth" funding
I started my college career studying graphic design!
Then I dropped out because whyyyyy do they let 18 year olds make decisions about going to college.

look we have a lot of brown people to kill around the world and that's not cheap

I'm still trying to figure out how the hell I got put in a calculus class after dropping out of trigonometry.
Ironically, everyone failed that class anyway because they literally had the wrong teacher for the class and didn't bother to correct that after they found out their error.

How are you people SO BAD AT THIS

Nah, it's fine. Most PhD dissertations are equally "useless", and I include STEM stuff in that. It's more about the process of working rigorously, and in long-form, to create knowledge. That skill is valuable and highly transferrable, assuming the institution has standards. I'd rather we funded anime PhDs to students willing and able to get them over denying assistance to save money or to try to force people into more practical fields.

Instead of a flat rate, make it so the cost of acquiring a degree is proportional to the chance of you landing a job related to your field of study when you graduate.

Or, it turns it that a whole lot of people would like the government to fund their anime studies rather than either paying for it themselves or study something with market value. I bet the competition to get that is fierce!
I don't mean to sound rude, but if you're going to lol America about your government paying you to get a PhD, I'm going to lol about what you're doing with it.

Yojōhan shinwa taikei is a 2010 anime adaptation of the Naoki Award-winning novel of

receives this parallel world, and analyze the protagonist’s identity discovery and his
developing understanding his relationship with the characters around him.

It is possible to change the visual representation of text in Japanese manga in many
ways it is not in English comics. These different visual representations can be divided
into multiple categories. In this presentation I will be focusing on the categories of font,
katakana and ateji (the pairing of two different words together through the use of a
reading gloss). Like yakuwarigo (role language), as defined by Kinsui Satoshi, these
different categories of visual expression help to identify and define the personality of
the characters speaking. At times they also work to build the world of the story. Beyond
this, on a visual level, the structure and appearance of the page and word balloons are
also changed by the visual representation of the text. It is therefore possible to
hypothesize that children who read these works at the same time as they are learning
Japanese are also learning a multitude of expressive nuances afforded to them by the
language.
if this strikes you as a subsidy on japanophilia... yeah, I mean, that's the point of throwing money at soft diplomacy, innit.
