There have been several popes in my lifetime and the only one I really remember going was jp2, and that wasn't even a huge story in the scheme of things.

If that wage is meant to be the same everywhere: economic chaos. A living wage for a worker in NYC, NY, USA is very different to the living wage in Da Nang, Viet Nam. You could work for eventual parity, but that comes with its own huge set of challenges. It's interesting to think about.

23 in a lot of the winter (though I think the thermostat is wrong since that gets us to 20.x or 21 according to actual thermometers in the room) and usually 26 in 'dry' mode in the summer. Right now, we're going for days without using them at all but, if not the heat, then the humidity will put an end to that by late May or early June.

It might be the way Bing is tokenizing and/or how far back it's looking to connect things when compared to Google.

A statistical model predicted that "in heat" with no upper-case H nor quotes, was more likely to refer to the biological condition. Don't get me wrong: I think these things are dumb, but that was a fully predictable result. ('...the movie "Heat"' would probably get you there).

In my 40s:

• Bought a home last year, still not paid off.
• home isn't far from the beach but, due to the previous tsunamis, there's not much to do there near where I live.
• make more than 6 figures (but not in USD and not 6 figures in USD after conversion).
• I am the chef. And the gardener.
• Fuck tesla (I have a kei car (going somewhere with wife or buying farm supplies), motorcycle, and pedal-assist ebikes)

I had it working, upgraded Mint, and it broke. I had already been fighting to get that upgrade done for a couple hours at that point (there were issues), so I was just over it after researching and trying a few things. People have got it working but, as a dude with two jobs, I ain't got time for that.

One can apply for PR via spousal route after 3 years of marriage at least one year of that being in Japan. She might be on a work status and not spouse/dependent of japanese national, for whatever reason.

On a work status, shed need to notify immigration withing 14 days of losing her job, but there are ways to get time for job hunting. (14 days from death of spouse on spouse visa, for that matter)

I have spouse status, but my PR application is in (spousal route, though I was almost at 10 years working in Japan to go that route anyway).

In my specific case, my status isn't tied to a job. In the average foreign worker's case, there's generally an allowed job-hunting period if employment ends on a work SoR. If unable to find a job then, yes, you would have to leave after your status expires.

They were sitting at the end of the seats at a station and supposedly they were expected to get up and move to another seat whenever someone else wanted to sit?

10 years in Japan now and I have zero clue what this might be referring to. Unless they were marked as priority seats, anyone can sit there. They might have been loud or disturbing without realizing it or something?

Nobody would be speaking on public transport and it would be deemed impolite.

It's not impolite to talk, it's impolite to be loud. It's fantastic, IMO, especially on the early, packed trains going into work in Tokyo and the like; the extra stress of noise is not needed and, many days, it served as a naptime.

Their streets in Japan are clean while there barely are any public garbage bins available.

This very much depends upon the area. They're also clean because people are cleaning up the shit in front of their houses basically every morning. I used to live between some bars and a hotel and those streets were not clean.

I can't answer that, but the reason I'm typing this from Windows is that getting DiVinci to reliably work in linux has been a pain in my ass.

This was presumably just some government-job-specific pension. Japanese law requires paying into a pension scheme so it is doubtful that this is all he had. We also have iDECO and NISA which are like IRA/401k systems.

I got on FB when it was still only for students. I quit something like 5 years ago. I never had insta. I quit twitter partially pre-corona and fully deleted it a couple years ago. I mostly just read things, especially during Corona when local governments posted a lot there (until recently, twitter was king in Japan. I think Insta has since dethroned it somewhat).

That wouldn't surprise me. I have always been a night owl and maybe slightly non-24. I can get up early, but a single late night will destroy my schedule as my body reverts to that and takes days or weeks to recover.

I use vscode for everything these days, but I work mostly in go. I always preferred intellij to eclipse and the like for java and never used vscode for it.

I used to deal with heavy depression, even into my 30s. I also have a number of health issues. That was enough to decide to get snipped. Bringing a kid into this world as things get worse than they have been in a long time in a number of places... absolutely not.

Defeat, doom, and giving up just makes it a done deal and accomplishes nothing.

Clearly the daughter of the guy in The Matrix which is not real murica!
