Thank you! I’ll see what I can find

I often still do. In japanese, google even became its own verb (possibly because it works phonetically and syntactically) both as google-suru and google-ru　(グーグル)

I hate that my graphics card has some kind of lights I can’t turn off. I’ve never been interested in any of that stuff

Where I grew up, we only ever gave the last four digits of our number because the whole town and then some was the same. Later, they changed the area code since it was running out of numbers and then we moved to 10-digit dialing. I remember how weird it felt when things like long distance calls just kinda stopped being a thing

Yes, I’m looking for an “exten dedwaranty” is there an “exten dedwaranty” here?

WHAT IS THE BEST TYPE OF HUMAN TO DIP IN THIs “KETCHUP” AND WHY IS IT A SINGLE FEMALE HUMAAN LAWER!

Native English, conversational japanese, survival German (I was conversational at one point, but it’s mostly gone), a tiny bit of french (same as German), very basic Spanish, and a tiny bit of Hebrew (I wanted to learn something in the semitic family and it seemed less intimidating than Arabic to start with)

Good luck getting a car/home loan when your salary looks like minimum wage (as a former coworker who didn’t claim her tips found out). The whole tipping thing is idiotic. Pay a loving wage to workers.

Edit: also a living wage. I can’t type on mobile apparently

I don’t want to see the EXPLAIN for that query. This person really needs to learn more about sql, I’d wager.

I grew up in a very small Ohio town. I moved to Houston, Texas and met one person from the same town and later one from a town over at a bar.

I quit Facebook/etc. not long after moving to Tokyo. I ran into a guy from Columbus, Ohio that I knew from when I lived there.

I’ve also run into friends of friends randomly in Tokyo.

Now, I love away from Tokyo in the countryside, so I’ll be super surprised if I meet anyone again, but who knows.

Edit: for context, on a business day, there are more than 30 million people plus tourists in the Tokyo metro

An asshole billionaire fleeing from something is also a situation I can’t comprehend but, on the other hand, fuck 'em.

When I still commuted for work (western 23-ku initially and later out towards okutama), I had a portable wifi, power bank, water, a protein bar or two, a book, sunglasses, folding umbrella, sunscreen, noise-canceling earphones, and ibuprofen in my bag (in addition to work stuff or whatever for that daily activity). Being stuck on a train that loses power makes one prepare.

Now, I love in the inaka and work from home. I really should throw some water and calorie mate in the car, though, as I think about it.

Scope creep: this time we’re sure it won’t be a disaster at all.

Really neat if they could pull it off and have it not ruin anything else in the game, though I think I’d want any social stuff to be optionally enabled rather than always on.

Japan is slowly getting better, but it’s a long road ahead. There are more laws and they’re actually enforcing some of them with regard to harassment and hours worked (a lot of people would clock out and keep working, but they’re trying to make the penalties bit enough to stop it from what I hear. My company is certainly strict about it).

It’d be nice to have european-level vacations before I retire, but that I don’t see happening

I’m supposed to avoid gluten these days, but a banh mi is frequently on my mind

I had totally forgotten about it until now, but I got that same compliment.

I resolved to stop paying full price for anything Pitchford and his touch based on a number of factors. I did buy the latest BL game when it was on a big sale and thoroughly hated the main story and various plotholes (seemingly from cuts made by the company/directors rather than the writers). I bought Tiny Tina (again, on sale for over half off) and it was a game with all kinds of bugs that just never got fixed – it’s the first game I didn’t immediately roll a new character to replay after beating it. At this point, I’m not sure I would buy anything else they put out.

Yeah, I actually felt bad last night about my wording choice and explanation, so apologies for that. Thank you as well for engaging. Cheers!

It may have changed more recently (or depend upon country as well), but I was still getting results from old serial/null modem devices about 10 years ago (I worked on the centralized IT side so I didn’t see these devices, but this is what the on-site tech was telling me when troubleshooting things)

I see your point. There was just something about the wording that really made it feel unfinished/unverified to me and led me down the path of thought I went on. Of course, very few people in the world know everything on a given topic and no one is infallible. I guess it was just the phrasing that really made me suspicious.
