Reading that gave me a tough hiccough.

That’s just the WD-40, still, with a lighter between it and the stick.

I just searched earlier and DDG had a link telling me to try its AI (I think it was on my mobile on firefox). At least it didn’t force it, I guess.

Passive voice shenanigans. They expect to lay off. They’re the ones doing it.

Heh, I honestly can’t remember the last ad for a game I saw. Maybe on japanese TV since I don’t get ads on YouTube where I spend most of my watching time. I’ll keep an eye out for it, though; that does make sense.

/ As I type this, I realize I’ve seen several war thunder sponsored segments in videos, but I just ignore or mute.

I enjoy watching some people play games. I cannot watch them play RPGs or similar with choices nor puzzles. Even if their puzzle solution is right in the end and mine is not, I still just get frustrated by the experience.

Japan set the allowed alcohol limit to basically zero sometime in the '90s so drinking anything and driving here can see you lose your license and spend time in Jail… as it should be IMO.

Maintenance is done at night and, when that’s not happening, they run freight trains. In Tokyo, last train used to be like 1:30ish on some lines and started up again a bit before 5am. Now it’s more like a bit after midnight and starting again closer to 5am. JR is a private company (a group of them, actually) and they keep squeezing things further, presumably for more profit.

They did start a bus line between nightlife areas a few years ago, but it never got popular and was closed (and also just took drunk people around from one party area to the next and not home).

Bars here in Japan are often open until first train in the big cities (~5am) with some going later. I don’t necessarily see anything wrong with that in itself (especially for late shift folks who want to enjoy the same after-work experiences as day shift folks).

That said, fuck this guy for many other reasons.

Prepositions still causing havok 70ish years later (and I’m struggling in the opposite direction learning Norwegian now)

Except when looking for a new job and now so are 8k other people :/

The Evil Dead Guy.

One Guy of Darkness.

It only bothered me because I saw that it was a school assignment and I thought it would be to a higher standard. In casual speech, I don’t really care unless the meaning is unclear.

I don’t knowingly use AI at all in my person life and projects (I say ‘knowingly’ since many products have it shoved inside now, but I disable all I see). At work, we have AI code reviews which, as a concept, I think is fine and useful.

This is why I don’t use it for coding at all.

Shouldn’t it be ‘after having been together’?

What is ‘at the same time’ referring to in that sentence? They wanted to break up at the same time (as in both had the idea)? They wanted to break up at the same time on the clock to continue the theme of things being same-y?

The boy is due north of what? The place? The girl? Also, the girl should be wondering about her decision, I think.

(I don’t even speak English every day anymore, so I could be wrong).

I used to walk by that building quite a bit. Place creeps me out (not for any supernatural reasons).

Wages have also mostly not kept up with inflation that went nuts starting around Covid times. Some companies have been doing raises, but a lot haven’t been able to keep up with inflation.

I’ll open a bottle of something nice when this happens, along with doing a happy dance, but I think that cork is staying put for now.

I was originally thinking of grabbing parts as they go on sale finally (this PC is from 2018ish, I think, and I guess I could upgrade some bits), but I think I’m just going to wait and get a laptop. In part because I do less gaming, the gaming is less intense, and I’m thinking about trying to spend part of the year living outside of Japan which would make the logistics of shipping a heavy full tower around (or even mid if I downsized) just too much of a headache. Still not 100% sure, though.
