Not sure what this is but, as a software developer, this screams "encoding issue" to me where it chooses the wrong encoding (or it's getting saved in the wrong one) causing it to display as you see.

Pass. Not giving it any ratings and I will wait for the coherent summary without the faff. Besides, no matter what the jackass does, there's nothing I can immediately do in reaction to it.

Agree. I think a lot of tech just isn't directly visible to consumers in most cases. I'm specifically thinking of medical applications, robotics, manufacturing, etc. Some more visible applications would be transit (maglev trains are in trials now) and a number of similar things. There's also biotech stuff about which I know little.

Yeah, anyone I know who is calling is doing so because it's time-sensitive. All of my friends should know that of me as well. Anyone like the person in the meme would not be a friend of mine.

I would need it on a black or white background

'she screams in silence'?

I would assume not. The grids, except for Texas and some of Alasaka IIRC, are all fairly interconnected and share a lot. I'm assuming it comes in to some point over the border and enters the broader grid. Maybe it would be possible if it enters in multiple states to cut individual states off (which would still likely impact neighbors), but I don't know anything for sure.

Some people don't even really sail them but live in them.

If you read the Japanese internet, tons would say they're at least the latter two. I'm sure some might also argue the first as well.

edit: This is a weird one to downvote. People living in Japan, both foreign and Japanese, complain about the cops doing nothing in all kinds of circumstances and making mistakes in a variety of procedures. I've had a mixed bag of interactions, personally.

A bird vomits around Australia whilst North America recoils in disgust,

All our measurements are in metric they would just be lost.

is funny, but the military at least all use metric.

It's entirely dependent upon the responses of federal agencies and bodies, business interests, the response of average citizens, and foreign response. All but the last's responses have so far seemed fairly limp so, all other things being equal, I would expect it to continue or get worse.

I've had smart TVs that only updates with fat32 formatted USBs for firmware, for a concrete example.

Kick the US out of Nato and any special status in the UN. Sanction the everliving fuck out of everything US. This will destroy the retirement I was at least partially expecting to get, but fuck it.

I'm from the US and still have family there. There's zero chance I go unless someone is dying and, even then, I dare not bring my wife who speaks very little English. I'm glad we went before this shitstorm happened so she could at least meet my surviving grandparents once.

I was expecting an a magic lamp with a broccoli-shaped genie or something.

I mean I want to block my ability to be PM'd at all (or maybe by just people I follow)

I used to just print at the convenience store closest to us, but that got to be a real pain buying a house, moving across Japan, renewing SoR (visa), applying for PR, starting my business, doing my taxes, etc. Printing was like 10 yen/page for black and white A4 I think.

I still don't see any settings to block PMs on the mbin side. I would at least like to filter to people I follow or something with the option to fully disable PMs.

FFS got another one after posting this.

Well, whatever that update was, I probably installed it (assuming it's the same here in Japan).

Use pen & paper – Do you really need a printer?

I had to laugh at this. At least in my use case, it's printing out forms and documents that various levels of government needs and I am absolutely not talented enough to reproduce them by hand (also, my handwriting is not fantastic).
