Been buying up DVDs and Blu-rays that are cheap of movies I like or have heard a lot about. Experienced the whole no one is streaming it this time so just buying the discs and neve…

I work in various Japanese offices and I can say that some really dedicated Japanese bosses/leaders that spoke English as good as you if not better were great to do business with. …

Having spent so many years in Japan I have found the same attitude about jaywalking. Though, there are crosswalks on long streets where pedestrians can wait and drivers are taught …

Touchscreens, door handles, cameras, etc. are what most of the new car buyers are wanting. "Most" but obviously not "all". If I was a salesperson trying to show off a new EV to a c…

Bad pizza is like bad ice cream. I can admit, I too wouldn't turn it down if offered to me.

As a user who is in an asian region I have all my machines set to that region. However, from time to time there are cases where dates that need to be in USA format are automaticall…

I'm big on #2 and #3 myself. I'm willing to accept that there are windows of time they can travel to with little risk (timelines, people, events, etc.). Also, the idea that proving…

Good to see it has moved so much from just JavaScript being the main target. I like the small scheme portable idea a lot. For those requiring just a minimal scheme this works.

I noticed this as well. It seems as if they were trying to control the meals in terms of major identifiable items with less obvious items being the variables that would make the me…

As a software developer in Japan enterprise sofware isn't exactly the target for anything I've been involved in. Almost everything software related here is usually tied to a compan…

I was wondering if the diet had the nutrition bits figured out. Vitamins, minerals and fatty acids along with fiber just seem very hard to fit into 800-900 kcals. I suspect they ar…

As a resident of Japan for over a decade I have been treated the same as any Japanese person. Many of my paler obviously American/European friends think they get treated differentl…

Here in Japan there are many public toilets (department stores, train stations, 7-11s, etc.). However, not all public toilets here are clean or anywhere I would advise people to us…

I can agree that for me it was cutting my "wheat" (flour, gluten, etc) consumption that helped me have far less migraines over all. I don't really eat much processed sugar (however…

I will have to give this a shot for my personal migraines. I do a lot of physical exercise when not on the computer. I also drink plenty of water so I am hydrated before exercising…

I was thinking this when I first read about the conveyor belt proposal. Years ago, Japan cut down on the hours drivers could do because many were driving too many. So, they tried t…

Pretty much my experience as a frontend guy that had to fill in for a team reduction and had to start working on the Rails side of things. I always felt like I was just having to "…

https://github.com/microsoft/Phi-3CookBook/commit/ba688b9a35... Scroll down to the end and the removed text is totally suspect. I wouldn't be to surprised if all of this was genera…

I also run Fedora's atomic desktop (GNOME flavor) on my main desktop. It is really snappy, no frills and just works. Almost everything I do terminal wise is inside of toolbox/podma…

Wild Arms, Star Ocean: The Second Story, Tales of Eternia and the PS3 Uncharted series. The first two I played the original Japanese PS1 versions. I can honestly say that the remak…

It is also interesting when Daiso and other 100-yen shops have stuff that is over 100 yen (usually 300-500 yen). Most of them are the more durable items or ones that would never be…

Recently watched a bit of this on the news channel here in Japan. I had not heard about the water situation until the news exposed it. I can understand the concern because in Japan…

Unlike the author of this article I have had success with RAGatouille. It was my main tool when I was limited on resources and working with non Romanized languages that don't follo…

I've felt that way since the news on this first came out. The placement, the library, etc. wouldn't last very long but if you knew your targets and just needed access it would work…

In the last year or so I have seen so many travel ads and promotions to visit Saudi Arabia. I don't think I'd ever go there but I'm pretty sure I know a lot of the stuff I would vi…
