I’m a night person and my main job only has core hours in the afternoon. I’m also a farmer and if I don’t wake up and work in the morning, the heat is deadly in summer (our humidity is frequently 80+%). I’m now oppressed by the climate as well, hehehe.

Sunrise and sunset in eastern Japan are also super early, so I’m not getting much of anything done between the end of core time and sunset even on our longest days.

I love a link to the past randomizer which is obviously not stock Zelda. Fuck Nintendo.

If I had some issue that prevented me from eating spicy food, I would get these (well, if I lived anywhere they’re sold). I love the flavor and fruitiness of jalapenos (I grow them along with seranos, habaneros, and others since trying to buy them fresh in Japan sucks outside of a handful of stores (only one of which I know sells them out of season for the mainland))

I’ll be asleep which I suppose I should be thankful for (I’ve already voted by mail as an overseas voter). I’m still disappointed about the whole fact-check thing.

It’s non-zero, including handguns which would have to be illegally obtained outside of very narrow circumstances (police, military, maybe competitive target shooters?, etc.). I imagine it would be much higher if guns were more widely available. Here are statistics https://www.e-stat.go.jp/dbview?sid=0003411679

All they would see is blackness since my work laptop stays closed. I have an external webcam that I plug in as needed. I also keep it angled up when not in use so, in the very best/worst case where I forgot to unplug it, you get a view of my cieling.

Is it any better than the 400? (I think I need a translator; I’m assuming it’s a road/highway?)

That’s actually really tough in this global age. I live in Japan so things like tea ceremony and Shinto practice come to mind, but there are Shinto shrines and practitioners in many places and people do and teach tea ceremony in other places now. Many would call it the home of sushi and, at least for the common types today, it’s probably true (though certain methods that led to sushi are thought to come from Viet Nam in the past).

Tanuki exist in other parts of Asia. I assume onsen (hot sprint) monkeys do as well. Maybe something with Wasabi, but I doubt it. I’m not sure, really.

Edit: thought of one: seeing the Iriomote cat in its natural habitat (although that’s really hard since they were nearly hunted to extinction for their pelts at one point). Speaking of Okinawan islands, you can also see Taiwan on a good day from the westernmost point of Yonaguni. That was neat. I took a picture with my phone at the time and it’s really hard to see anything, but I could see land with my eyes.

Japan has no access to firearms.

This is factually incorrect. I could go get my firearms and license right now if I wanted to (not that it’s easy, but it’s possible). See https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/05/31/national/crime-legal/gun-control-explainer/ for more info in English.

Those age 20 or above who want to possess a gun need to go through a lengthy screening process by the local public security committee, which is the governing body for the prefectural police force.

It doesn’t mention that there are restrictions on types of firearms, but it’s possible to own shotguns and rifles. Pellet guns are also possible, though I’m not sure ‘firearm’ is the right word there. I think crossbows were recently outlawed due to murders (previously I think they were in a weird grandfathered-in state, but I’m not 100% sure on that).

Different times and companies, but I’ve seen people fired for

• being in his 30s and sleeping with the 14-15 year-old worker (I forget exactly how old she was). This was working in a movie theater and he was the GM.
• found CSAM on their computer
• many for sexual harassment (a few different jobs in IT)

I think that’s it for the NSFW stuff.

Squirrel is a fun one depending upon the speaker’s original language.

With zero information on your situation, it’s difficult to say. If you have debt, paying that down/off is generally priority one. If you are debt-free, then you have options. Your age, stability, goals, and other factors would generally dictate what type of action to take. Were it me (early 40s, very low interest rate home loan), I’d put it into an index fund where I’ve already got some investments. In my case, I’m investing for retirement in about 25-30 years (as if I’ll be able to do that, but one can hope).

Rafts of fire ants are also a sure way to liven things up

https://www.sefaria.org/Judges.1.19?lang=bi&with=all&lang2=en is another translation of it which makes it seem like the team of the two of them couldn’t do it. I don’t know biblical hebrew to be able to say if that grammar is any better.

People can pull <table> from my cold, dead hands.

(though I’m usually only using it to display some status just for me and not for external consumption; the UI side can have a JSON if it ever comes to that).

I used to be a full-stack dev, but I’ve been pure backend for so long now, everything I knew is outdated or deprecated.

I physically reacted to this post with a combination of disgust, anger, and fear. Do tests. All of the tests. Randomize the order in which your tests run. Cover all branches.

Yes I inverted it to burning coal is called the industrial revolution because I think it’s neat way to look at it. I’m thinking through the history of energy: We burned wood. Then we burned coal. Then we burned oil. Then we burned atoms.

I was referring to this part, but the premise of the whole question in the OP is incorrect. We burnt coal before the industrial revolution, during, and after it. One could argue that the industrial revolution was more or less impossible without coal, but that’s not what was stated.

The OP left a lot out of the history of energy as well as how it impacted various technologies for mechanization and automation.

Water power predates those for mechanization as does wind (water wheels and windmills).

This list also ignores other sources of energy (solar, wind, wave, etc.),

This post also ignores things we burn that aren’t in your list (peat, dung, etc.)

I keep meaning to look more into how qr codes work. I always wondered if there were possible attack vectors if a bad actor exploited a flaw in the decoding of the image. My mind went to a zip bomb for no apparent reason (a tiny file that unzips to a massive amount of data on disk)
