I have too but skipped it until they bring out an OLED version

Sounds like they're lacking UI, UX people on their team, along with someone good at marketing, and money overall.

I could help with marketing and fundraising, but at the very least the UI and branding would have to be fixed first. I guess if the team was contacted if they'd like a person to fix up the onboarding process and an artist to help make a new mascot I know one who would do it. Actually what would be better would be 2 mascots, to go with the whole "making friends" motif.

Sign up definitely needs to be by interest after going through language, since you're right that the first option would totally nope most people out.

Could be worse. Could be you're in the early 90s with only a 56k modem.

They have 3 dicks and 4 arms usually

Hario V60 is from Japan.

Well, it's most self repairable, not most durable and resistant. So time to repair 😂

Then you get 1 to 99

Wouldn't that give you 11-100? l The Lowest number on a dice is 1, and 1×10 gives you 10.

The formula would have to be

((d10-1)×10)+d10=x≥90⟹y=(y+1)⟹z>1(d2)

So you'd still have to flip a coin on reaching a result of 90+ in order to know if you add a +1 or not as well or else you can't get 90 as a result either.

(This is assuming you have a d10 that's 1-10 btw and not 0-9!)

I'm sorry, I just felt compelled

Nintendo.

Things got worse once Bowser got ahold of the American castle.

The fun dissolved with Iwata and Reggie gone.

The line to far for me was their retroactive bs patents used to attack Palworld. It's one thing to be strict on your own systems, but another to do it to others. 80s Nintendo is back and possibly worse than before.

This is how I expect China to actually absorb Taiwan.

The only legitimate reason they want it at this point is the chip manufacturies, and those are rigged with self destruct explosives in case of a losing war.

But use propaganda and bribes to get the country to join willingly, and that extremely valuable financial and scientific infrastructure remains safe.

2020 since the pandemic shut everything down. There was a one year respite.

Basically at this point the only thing that might make things go down would be something on the scale of covid but deadlier that would make the ultra wealthy scared enough to keep things shut down long term.

If you have experienced something that can't be currently explained by science, it doesn't necessarily mean you don't believe there isn't a scientific explanation for it we just haven't found yet.

For example, if in an imaginary scenario you and 5 other credible people you trust and know experience, idk, an apparition that looked human appearing in full detail appear out of nowhere, say "I am real", and then vanish, would you suddenly lose all your reason and no longer trust any science at all? If so, you are not scientifically minded at all, and would contribute no significant progress to science with such rigidity.

Someone who practices science, and seeks to advance our knowledge into that which is unknown, would instead first try to rule out possible known causes, such as by confirming with others if they saw that too and to immediately make sure no one says anything, then instruct them to all write down what they experienced. After confirming indeed that everyone had the same experience (and this ruling out multiple known causes), you'd probably inspect the environment for any possible other explanation.

Finding none, would that mean your work and understandings of science would no longer be credible? If so, then you never understood the point of science and research. Your work would be tainted not by having experienced something many consider paranormal/supernatural, but by your inability to understand that it's simply yet another unknown phenomenon that perhaps can be explained in the future with further research and advancements in technology (after all, we already struggle figuring out testing intelligence in things that are known such as animals - in something we can't even easily observe, it's currently not possible). Unwillingness to entertain a widely reported phenomenon makes you no different than early scientists who refused to consider that reports of what we now know are pandas and gorillas to perhaps be something. It is actually that thinking which holds back humanity, rather than advances it.

It's true. Try hanging out somewhere outside your house with no modern technology for two hours.

First you'll realize how long time feels without a smartphone or instant entertainment.

The second thing you'll realize is how hard it is to keep track of time without a wristwatch.

People socialized more in person because there wasn't much else to do and it was the best way to do so.

A huge currency reserve of Japan is the dollar, which is why there's now some economic instability, as the dollar has lost a lot of value due to Trump's market manipulation.

It doesn't mean the yen is weak, it means the commodities markets will be in flux, as that's what things tend to fall back onto when things like these happen.

It's also why cheap rice specifically has a shortage, and why Japan has found itself in a catch 22 for the importation of rice. What they could do is go from importation restriction to tariffed but allowed if they want to increase the rice supply and stabilize the price of domestic rice. But that would require some flexible legal framework that's hard to write because you can't keep rice imports opened now while deflation is still strong without killing most domestic production. Best solution is to allow import from somewhere where rice isn't as cheap but still competitive, plus a very small temporary tariff that could over time be dissolved slowly, in my opinion at least.

There's a whole lot of cascading effects happening right now because of the unstable US economic policy and much of the world having their currency either pegged to the US dollar or having it as a primary currency reserve. Some major economies like the EU are benefitting, but the closer the economic ties are to US the worse the effects are.

Deflation makes currency stronger, not weaker. That's part of the issue with it when it comes to a domestic economy, because it means this start becoming drastically cheaper over time, but it's only a problem if people keep waiting for prices to drop. It also devalues stocks, so large corporations don't like it either, and if you have a lot of money, it's not as competitive anymore locally with the average person's money either. Landlords also lose out because real estate value stalls (btw this is part of the reason for why Japan's mega cities exist - deflation has made it so nearly everyone can afford to live in the main city rather than needing to spread out to cheaper areas because inflation causes rent prices to increase via real estate value also increasing).

Buying overseas helps prevent deflation, but Japan has a protectionism type economy in general. Currency reserves from other countries buying exports heavily is what keeps things stable.

In the rice case, it's purely to protect the local rice economy because deflation has made the yen strong, and allowing cheaper rice from a country with a weaker currency would make local rice unable to ever have the hopes of competing for any profit whatsoever, probably not even at break-even.

Db0?

If you're being targeted by 5 eyes and you and your group don't know enough about tech to set up your own local communication servers or going serverless / not using internet, you're already caught or known about

1. Not all English speakers are from the "west", since it's a lingua franca.
2. You literally put in that the only option in developed countries is factory farmed meat, which is also not true. There's even European countries where the factory farming of the USA isn't allowed, and plenty of developing countries where it's encouraged.
3. you imply by saying only developed countries have this option, as if developing countries don't, and for some reason bring up fucking scavanging as one of developing countries alternatives? Really? You think that lowly of them that just classic old ranching didn't come to your mind????? The fuck dude. You just pulled a "those kids in Africa" or "the doctor is the male nurse" moment even if you didn't mean to. You clearly haven't traveled much.
4. we were talking about chickens not beef.

The ones where of the aphid strays too far from the closed in pack it becomes an instant snack (hey that rhymes).

At least we cook our chickens first (/s)
