I’m sure it is. Just have had too many times the kids swimming related sports got canceled for a code brown.

Cool! My kids memorized all the subways lines and stations, connections in Taipei when they were younger. Blew my wife’s mind as she grew up without any subways in Taipei but thought she knew them. They progressed to telling her which car to get on to make the best changes for some common stations.

I did not know that. Tokyo always has surprises

Anything finished in 漆 has such an amazing feel to it. I have some pottery tea cups and also a stainless steel beer glass finished in lacquer in addition to bowls, sake cups, etc. Always exquisite to hold and touch.

In the ruse of “austerity” destroying all that is beautiful and just - to strip the value of US history, culture and all assets. In the cities and also the national parks.
As I watch from the opposite side of the world it makes me sick.

I love this recipe because it results in a beer that is a cross between Anchor Steam and Redhook Rye Ale (which sadly hasn’t been brewed since probably the late 90s before they were acquired)

If the cat isn’t keen on tonkatsu then maybe the ham, sausage, bacon, or weiners

Reminds me of Japanese asking me where I was from and when I replied Nishi Ogikubo it kind of ended right there.
But I’ve had the same question in New Zealand and often provide a similar answer of where I live now.

One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited. There and Lake Louise in Banff.

Recently used an LLM to help rapidly build technical training and certification exam. I had content from an SME. Gave that to the model. Gave it proper guidance on instructional design - and asked it for all its sources for each question it generated. It was 80%+ on the mark and saved tons of time

I haven’t been interested in distilling at home, but hadn’t thought about making shochu. Hmmm. Imo-jochu いも焼酎 is something I need to consider.

Probationary period after starting employment vs being on a PIP are such radically different things. Imagine that?

Yes they should. I assume they will give a refund/exchange at least?

That’s also shame on Apple. Not easy to keep track of what works and doesn’t recently.

Used to ride the Sobu-sen on that route regularly. Also remember the huge rain in the early 90s when that area really flooded (as did the old underground passages at Shinagawa). And I love when you pop out of the tunnel on the Marunouchi into sunlight and the view of the water.

So all those participating in the coup better not have babies and claim citizenship for them.
“They gave no obedience or allegiance to the country when they entered — one cannot give allegiance and promise to be bound by the laws through an act of defiance of those laws.”

My wife was actually just reading this news from Taiwan to me moments early.

Pressuring Taiwan to spend 3% of GDP on weapons (of course must purchase from the US) and trying to claim that TSMC will build more advanced chip manufacturing facilities in Arizona (while he has evidently also cancelled the CHIPS act that Biden created for just this purpose). Else tariffs

Oh that’s an idea. Time to go harvest some bamboo and see if I can make my own bamboo straws. Recently been intending to make my own bamboo sake cup also.

When I was a small child I wanted a straw. The Mango Mussolini wants his straw. Maybe that explains it.
But yes, haven’t figured out why the US always wants its straws. Bubble tea in Taiwan I understand - and nearly everyone uses their own stainless steel straws nowadays.

Crane style is the most beautiful form IMO. Heron style seems it would be a bit comical. Need Pelican form kung fu to complete the trio.

A very ancient form of kung fu.

The Machine Stops is in this collection. That is what I assumed you were referring to and what I was looking for after googling 1909 EM Forster. Thanks much for the pointer. Sounds haunting but now something I must read

They position all their actions as detecting and eliminating fraud. Justifying their illegal acts because “those others are committing fraud”.
And welcome to the AI driven Panopticon.

There was this post about negotiating tactics/styles that I saw just a few days ago
‘…he sees all dealmaking as what we call “distributive bargaining."’
