Former gas stove person here. I now use induction and love it. I have a cassette gas burner if I really needed it for some reason, but I’ve never broken it out.

Absolutely not. I remember themes and notes buti do not store exactly the dialogue or anything.

Passive voice shenanigans. They expect to lay off. They’re the ones doing it.

Start kettle set to just below 90 degrees. Put what looks like the right amount of coffee at the moment into french press. Pour water into press when it’s at temp. Wait 5-10 minutes and drink.

I got into D&D in the late '80s. My super-christian grandma even tried to play. My dad’s church thought I was going straight to hell, though.

Heh, I honestly can’t remember the last ad for a game I saw. Maybe on japanese TV since I don’t get ads on YouTube where I spend most of my watching time. I’ll keep an eye out for it, though; that does make sense.

/ As I type this, I realize I’ve seen several war thunder sponsored segments in videos, but I just ignore or mute.

I enjoy watching some people play games. I cannot watch them play RPGs or similar with choices nor puzzles. Even if their puzzle solution is right in the end and mine is not, I still just get frustrated by the experience.

Yep. We have copilot do reviews but also require human reviews

Now I want to eat 盛岡冷麵 (Morioka Reimen)

The app gets messed up on my Japanese LG TV every now and again (and I seem to have lost the ability to thumbs-up videos again), but it’s never been unusable. The app on my android phone looks fine at the moment.

Japan set the allowed alcohol limit to basically zero sometime in the '90s so drinking anything and driving here can see you lose your license and spend time in Jail… as it should be IMO.

Maintenance is done at night and, when that’s not happening, they run freight trains. In Tokyo, last train used to be like 1:30ish on some lines and started up again a bit before 5am. Now it’s more like a bit after midnight and starting again closer to 5am. JR is a private company (a group of them, actually) and they keep squeezing things further, presumably for more profit.

They did start a bus line between nightlife areas a few years ago, but it never got popular and was closed (and also just took drunk people around from one party area to the next and not home).

Bars here in Japan are often open until first train in the big cities (~5am) with some going later. I don’t necessarily see anything wrong with that in itself (especially for late shift folks who want to enjoy the same after-work experiences as day shift folks).

That said, fuck this guy for many other reasons.

Prepositions still causing havok 70ish years later (and I’m struggling in the opposite direction learning Norwegian now)

Millers and Müllers are also not made of mills which I find to be rampant false advertising.

Calling that “pizza” is generous. I always hated that cardboard.

Names is just names. Not every smith actually engages in smithing. Do what you want; people in history did. As a bonus, your family tree can be more fun for anyone in the future.

I used to as my company was fine with me being at lunch from 5-6. Some governments don’t allow that (it’s technically not legal in Japan), but some also look the other way (not my current company, sadly)

I thought there was one in Ontario as well, but that might have ended. I have no idea if they still would use the same recipe. Still, I would have to go to the US and further to Florida and I’d rather not do that.

I’m still not buying your console, Sony.
