I split the middle with en-JIN-iks (which is how I heard it said long before I saw it written)

I used to be 100% for gas ranges. Except for a couple of specific usecases, my 200v induction stove is great. I have a separate cannister gas stove if I want to really go to town on a wok or something. I've been converted.

A lot of older people volunteered to work Fukushima to protect the younger generations and I have family that work just to get out and do something and the extra cash isn't bad. That said, there are people who have to work. I think one or two sentences is way too simplified to go over the whole thing. Working in bigger companies and such also tends to get a better pension (over the public one) with some having additional pensions and such.

Edit to add: not all do actual work; some of my retired family volunteer (or do both)

よかったです。天気が良かったから、久々にバイクを運転しました。自分のはどうでしたか？

午前9時半ぐらいので、まだわからないｗ。

Hello from Japan.

I tried to use it on Japanese. It was an incomprehensible mess and said a woman was suing herself and testifying against herself or some nonsense. This was very much not what the article said (though it was about a court case).

I'm basically there. I wish my property were a bit bigger with some woods and a freshwater stream coming out of the mountains, but I'm like 95% happy. Here is rural northern Japan. Having a grocery store closer would be neat. Maybe if the town grows again (it's at around 50% of its pre-tsunami population) the one nearby will reopen.

We have 1,2,4,6,10 and a flat which is 30ish. 6 and 10 are most common. Remember: smaller fridges and lots of people eat raw egg so they don't keep it around a long time

I used to do d&d campaign and dungeon design, DM, compose and play music, write fantasy books, and today did system design and engineering.

I think my imagination is just fine.

I'm low-contact with a couple of my core family. When we do meet, the other relatives are usually nice enough to just stop any political conversations or rants. Every once in a while, one slips through and I just ignore it, but our interactions have become infrequent enough that it's maybe yearly.

It's heartbreaking to both see some real opinions in some cases (some of which are products of their eras, and some of which have softened), but I also mourn the lack of immunity to conspiracy theories and propeganda on the other; I have seen almost a polar shift in one relative that really shocks me.

Reminder to me to come back to this: there's at least a rumor that green tea consumption is one reason heavy metals from seafood (particularly mercury) are not a problem in japan

One of my family, and former nurse, is against at least mRNA vaccines, but she also fell down the far right conspiracy theory rabbithole so...

I don't know why, but the word "hotdish" bothers me; I guess because I assume it refers to sort of dish/vessel rather than food.

1. Anything more than hushed conversation is banned on public transit (exceptions for children too little to be able to control it, developmentally disabled, etc.). You may answer the phone, quietly, to tell the person you cannot talk right this second and will phone them back from the next station
2. Everywhere is accessible to the blind, those in wheelchairs, on crutches, etc.
3. You will grow some of your own food as your space allows. If you have a tiny flat with one window? Grow some herbs or chives or something? Gotta big lawn? Now you have a garden. Those with small children will be left some room for them to play.
4. Everyone wanting a driving license must drive a giant, slow truck and a small motorbike for several weeks. The tests everywhere in the US get harder and more demanding.
5. You must use public transport in any case it is possible and practical (i.e I don't expect you to try to take your haul from Ikea back on a train).
6. You will generally only eat two meals a day and no more gluten (sorry; I didn't want to inflict this on you nor did I want the gluten restriction on myself, but this is the only way my body works somewhat properly).
7. Your mind's eye and any audible inner monologue are now gone. It's fine; enjoy the imagination and peace.
8. You must live somewhere on roughly the other side of the planet from where you grew up (again, sorry to force you)
9. You must live in at least one foreign country for no less than 3 months outside of a foreigner community and learn the language and culture (not at all sorry about this one).
10. You must be in pain a lot of the time without docs being able to find anything useful. You must also have anxiety, ADHD, probable ASD, and overthink many things.

I tried to answer the actual question rather than how I think things should be. I'm sure I'm missing something about my life. I guess you'd all have to work as software engineers who run a small farm most of the year, strictly speaking.

Chili with cornbread is phenominal. Never had it growing up in the US Midwest, but moved south and fell in love. Still make it now on the other side of the globe. Rice isn't my favorite and potatoes wouldn't be my first choice, but chili is basically just a curry in the modern sense anyway for most recipes so that makes sense.

TIL eepy and I hate it.

Your eggs still come in dozens

My eggs don't come in dozens before this change so I doubt they shall after (6 and 10 are most common in Japan)

Does not work for me. I always give a wipe for safety and often the water doesn't get it all. I assume it's an ass-shape issue, possible because I had surgery when younger.

Braces (and almost anything that is indented) should always end at the same column they start lest I feel like I'm physically off-balance and uneasy. First paragraph should be indented because it's a paragraph and they're indented. Otherwise, I agree.
