Whatever. The STEM cult has literally gone into elementary schools and gotten little kids to do coding because "everyone needs to learn coding because reasons." Now the same cult is addicted to pushing AI. It's all a grift.
Gotcha will give it a shot. It seems like Japan has such a big diversity of cuisines that it might be hard to eat everything I want...my wife and I are planning on eating each lunch at 2-3 places so that we can eat a bigger variety of foods
My wife loves matcha (she makes it at home) so we're probably going to swing by a few places and buy some. I like tempura...but I assume you can get it *with* udon? I'll add and see if there are any dedicated ones

I love ANA a lot. They might be my favorite airline I've used so far. Sucks most flights are domestic. Never tried JAL yet or Air Do.I flew JAL because they were flying the A350-1000 on JFK-HND.
One of their airlines now offers free domestic flights to some of the less touristy areas if you paid more than a certain amount to fly to Japan. I havent massively looked into it but a colleague did it.
family member is a hospital worker and used to go to nursing homes for lab work, apparently one of the more horrifying issues in nursing homes is that some of the residents like to beat the shit out of others. she had a nasty story about one resident bludgeoning an elderly lady into a coma with his cane.My dad was in a memory care place. Cant say much, but he was beaten by another resident. My mom did get a settlement.
Can you file for unemployment for a bit?No way he worked long enough to qualify for it.
most likely not, not because people wouldn't want to, but because they're too fucking expensive relative to red statesThis. I had a friend that was super liberal and was moving to South Carolina. I repeatedly asked her if she was sure, but she was taken in by the cheaper housing.
Lots and lots of places suffer from overtourism and I just wonder where all these people come from and why their own place is shitty year long that traveling within is not an option even when including the next country/countries over
They are apparently still happening: https://tokyocheapo.com/entertainment/mario-kart-in-tokyo-guide/Yep saw them in both Shibuya and Osaka. Hard to miss with the stupid onesies they wear.
Another oft-cited overtourism example is Kamakura Kokomae a tiny station on the diminutive, local, Enoden train line, featured in the popular Slam Dunk manga/anime opening credits. The anime gained bonkers levels of traction abroad, and now the Enoden has been rendered nearly unusable for residents (so packed it is all day long).
Just came back from Japan recently and there is definitely a huge influx of tourists from even 6-7 years ago. Kyoto was like 75% tourists when I visited and most of the tourist attractions had very few local Japanese people. I don't necessarily think this is some huge issue that some people make it out to be but I can see how it hurts a lot of small businesses. I think Japan needs to start promoting some of their other regions to help spread out tourists from Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto since that is where they are mostly all concentrated. Once they can figure that out then I think that will help address a lot of the concerns that they're experiencing an over tourism problem.
yeah i am thinking it's safer to be there at least 4 to 5 hours there so i don't miss my flight due to checks or random crap happening
currently waiting for the heat to die down a little and go the office to book a flight ticket so any tips for a airport newb3 hours for international. Domestic depends on airport. Some are busier than others.
i only flew twice but i was escorted on those times so this will be my first solo flight
how much of ahead of time i should be at the airport? 4-5 hours?
5-6k roughly. But two kids, car payments, mortgage etc etc. But we usually bring in 8k between the both of us so usually not too tight if other expenditures come up.

Yeah I'm pretty disappointed lol, I suppose I built it up too much in my head. It wasn't even the sweetest melon I've had, and it didn't have a ton of flavor? It tasted much closer to a cantaloupe than a honeydew though
Pros: it smells better than any other melon, its very juicy, and it looks beautiful. I guess a lot of the price tag is abt the presentation which is fair. I did get a lot out of that aspect.
Im also mildly allergic to it which is pretty funny. It makes my mouth itchy like some other fruits do, and the melon juice is making the eczema on my hands go crazy
I dunno im almost like wondering if I got a bad one somehow. People who try them in videos always praise it as the best melon ever. Mine seemed properly ripe based on the texture. Part of me hopes when I try it again later it'll magically be super flavorful. Oh well, I wouldn't have bought it if I couldn't afford it. Thanks for coming to my topic
Can see smoke between two cups on the rightI think it was light playing off the lcd tv screen that was off.
Holy shit tc are you ok? I hope the plane isn't on fire...
You can watch entire seasons of TV, and even play mobile-type games on the chair monitors. But the seats are still small and if you are over 6 feet tall, forget sleeping comfortably.Business class suite on the A350 is awesome though. I can slide my door closed.
It still blows my mind that people can post from planes now. I have not been on a plane since 2010
There definitely are.
Flying back from Japan is weird with crossing the dateline. You travel backwards in time. I left Tokyo at something like 3:30 in the afternoon and landed something like 9:00AM that morning.I leave at 11:05 am and land at 11:05 am.
There are a lot of tourists in the tourist areas. China is a nearby country. Lots of Vietnamese too.
I do not like the locked for 5 years. If you mive out of district, must you still pay?
Anyhow I pay $65 for AT&T so that sounds awesome.
TC, is there a waffle iron where you can make your own waffles? The dessert buffets that have those are always the best.No there wasnt.
Overtourism there is getting problematic. Kind of a yikes to wanna go there and contribute to that further.
Home made, and that is no contest.
