Reddit -> Beehaw until I decided I didn’t like older versions of Lemmy (though it seems most things I didn’t like are better now) -> kbin.social (died) -> kbin.run (died) -> fedia.
Japan-based backend software dev.
Hard disagree. I much prefer forums and still am a member of some. The only thing reddit really had going was how broad and easy-to-create it was. It allowed for non-technical people to make cool, niche forums and people to find and participate.
I was thinking I could open a restaurant focusing on pain perdu (basically french toast)
Maybe something like a document going into a safe? As things are increasingly digital, both of those technologies become somewhat less relevant. On the other hand, one could go with 保存 on a button. Chinese and Japanese speakers will instantly know what it does. Others could learn. At some point, kanji are just slightly more complex squiggles to represent an increasingly non-concrete thing.
Most weeks maybe just un oeuf. I think since I stopped eating breakfast and found out my body hates gluten (so heavily reducing baked goods, my other main use of eggs), my egg consumption went way down. The one weekly is generally from going to get sushi and there being some tamagoyaki in there. I guess the odd exception is throwing one (boiled or raw) into soup and the rare occasion that I knock out a fried rice.
Edit: I think 10 local eggs are around 500 yen, at least the last time I checked. More expensive than non-local, and the price has definitely gone up generally in the last few years.
From the US. Fluent English, conversational+ japanese, and used to know basic German and french though I’ve mostly forgotten those. Also used to have survival level and very basic conversational Spanish. I’ve studied Albanian and Norwegian a bit, but don’t remember enough to say anything anymore properly

My hammer and crescent wrenches seem pretty durable. I guess, this being Japan, the humidity might cause them issues at some point. My kitchen knives and cast iron dutch oven will probably also make it that long. Whatever accumulated heavy metals are in my body along with a rod and several screws holding some of said body together.
Maybe if that happens, computer parts won’t get a huge markup here in Japan anymore in that … ah, who am I kidding; they’ll still gouge us.
The connections in my brain that made me me will fail and I will cease to exist, same as before I existed.
Pokemon here. I played go for like 20 mins. I was in highschool and super busy when the first came out and never got interested.
Game of thrones and a ton of shows (when I lived in the US. I’ve been living in Japan the last 10 years so I have no clue what’s current).
Also hawk tuah and such. I don’t have TikTok or basically any social media anymore so no clue what’s going on.
I’m naturally a night person so it’s out of necessity for work and life rather than preference :/
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
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
I got a Makita cordless vacuum when my old cordless died because I had 6 batteries for my various other tools. Still keep a corded vacuum around for the extra oomph, though.
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.
I thought the Powerball and may even some solar stuff they were doing would suit our needs. The last few years quickly removed any such notion from my mind; not touching anything tied to that nazi manbaby
