When do you go to sleep & why?

Jump

  • Go to bed between 21 and 22, get up between 5 and 6. This shifts about 30-60 minutes earlier during peak farm work in summer to beat the afternoon heat

    • Anybody here whose main use of computers is NOT games?

    Jump

  • These days, my home PC is mostly used for consuming media, editing my own media, and (at least this time of year) business and tax paperwork. Games are definitely not my primary use.

    • High outlets

    Jump

  • In Japan, they're typically for aircon units, but I don't see anything indicating such would be mounted there nor does it look to be an exterior wall for the rest of the unit.

    • It's all about how you carry yourself

    Jump

  • They made a deal with the Final Fantasy folks.

    • Non americans of lemmy, would you support a ban on american social media on your country?

    Jump

  • I'm from the US and live in Japan and I'd still support it. I don't think it's the solution, but putting all the big ones in time out would at least allow competition and allow finding means to address the real issues (paradox of intolerance, balancing free speech with some way to handle disinformation and the like, and probably more I'm not thinking of).

    • Probably preaching to the choir here, but headphone jacks are really a must, and USB-c adapters have their limits

    Jump

  • I got some bose bluetooth headphones probably 7-8 years ago at this point and they're still working fine. I hate earbuds, personally, so that was never an option. I do hate having one more thing to charge and possibly die, but the noise canceling is also super helpful so that's fine for me. I've had zero problems with google assistant or anything else, but I'm pretty sure I have it mostly disabled on my phone.

    • Seriously, wtf "living life a quarter of a mile at a time" does even mean?

    Jump

  • Well, a quarter is 25% and 'mile' looks like it comes from 1000, so live life 250 at a time; you get to pick the units.

    • Where do you draw the line on when to boycott something?

    Jump

  • I have greatly reduced my consumption, particularly of new products. I've blocked most major socials by DNS in hosts of my PC (lots of japanese businesses still use some as their only way of stating business hours and info and same with updated disaster info, so I don't block on my phone but don't use unless I must). I don't buy from companies who have a record of human rights positions and environmental policies that I disagree with whoever possible.

    • Lake Biwa in Japan.

    Jump

  • No, lake be 'ko' in Japan (biwako is its japanese name)

    • guys... :(

    Jump

  • You still have your nightly walkthrough, nightly email, and a bunch of stickers to look forward to.

    • My millennial dad on Facebook:

    Jump

  • It's not my favorite day of the month and I suppose we could just stick a small month at the end of the year

    • I'm okay. Everything will be okay.

    Jump

  • Our on-call software apparently causes iphones to play the same sound as an earthquake alert here in Japan. Coworkers have had some literal ptsd-like experi nces and gotten shocked reactions when it goes off in public (at least by default, the sound is on).

    On Android I just get some piddly 'ding' I have to set to retrigger as it won't even wake me up.

    • They've been wondering all this time

    Jump

    • Zelda:OOT Randomizer

    Jump

  • I've never been an OOT fan, but can definitely vouch for aLTTPr (link to the past randomizer). There are many versions with different settings and it's a hoot to even watch

    • Death Penalty for anyone that kills a cop?

    Jump

  • Nah, it's a legal term. I would guess it's where we get aliens in the outer space concept as the word existed well before. Yeah 13th to 14the century. The spaceman version is from the 1950s (edit: per etymonline)

    • The lead singer of Nirvana, Kurt Cobain, could've heard about the GNU/Linux operating system.

    Jump

  • I think it's meant to be a "Cleopatra is closer to us than the building of the great pyramid" or something like that, but I'm not sure either.

    • How often do people in Japan use vending machines?

    Jump

  • edited with response. Thanks!

    • How often do people in Japan use vending machines?

    Jump
    1. almost never. Even when I lived and worked in Tokyo, conbini or supermarket was cheaper. It was basically a last resort
    2. I think you accidentally a word? I would typically use the vending machine nearest my office or at the train station. Maybe in front of my apartment when really hung over back in the day.
    3. coke zero or an energy drink
    4. kobini/super. Price.
    5. quick, easy, not necessary to deal with a human, variety, etc.

    I am a guy from the US living in Japan for a decade.

    • What other languages besides English are popular on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • There definitely is/was a Polish instance.

    • Hour 12 of a 15-hour trip emigrating to the UK from the U.S. with a teenager. (OC)

    Jump

  • I hope y'all can relax soon. I don't regret having left the US years ago; the only hard parts are not being able to see some family much (though Skype and the like help) and certain foods that just don't exist here (less of an issue in the UK than Japan), but copycat recipes can get things close.
