I don’t think it’s really profound but ‘perception is reality’. How a person perceives something is what they think is true and real, even if it isn’t.

I remember ours (I think both schools were built in the early 1900s) being rough but not that rough.

Have you tried going to a doctor to see what is wrong? PPE if you work somewhere hazardous? Moisturizing if you’re somewhere very dry?

That I could see. The way I read it, that wasn’t the order of operations and I thought that, for some reason, it could intentionally be pitched in such a way.

… the tail boom failing, suggesting it was most likely struck by the aircraft’s main rotor blades during flight.

I didn’t even know that was physically possible

The Japan-related subs where people share visa, legal, medical, financial and other resources are super important to those of us living here and, despite many times asking, will not move over. Moving over without the people holding that knowledge is pointless. So, as much as I dislike it, I still have to use a very limited section of reddit for things like that (being a new small business owner in Japan be hard).

Portable steam sauna, in case anyone was actually wondering.

As someone living in east Asia, there are definitely a number and it seems to be increasing. Then again, “Asia” is like a huge chunk of the world encompassing more than two billion people.

inconsistency of shortcuts between apps (even things like terminal, where I spend a fair bit of time). I find copy/paste physically uncomfortable to do. Various jankiness around docker (can’t use docker-desktop or the UI, which worked fine, because no license, but trying colima and various things, some of our projects just will not run on m1 or m3) is another pain point. Also just shortcuts and workflow in general (some of which is apparently because I keep the laptop closed and only use an external monitor; I can’t use any shortcut keys to change within windows of the same app (Chrome, for instance)). There’s more.

I hate how ctrl+home works because it almost never does what decades of use in windows/most linux window managers told me it should do and goes to the top of the whole page instead of the top of whatever input has focus. Terminal doesn’t even seem to have this (I can do something like win ctrl+direction_arrow with option, but in terminal 99% of the time where I want to be is at the head of the line).

You roentgent a contradictory response out of me, even if you try to Curie favor.

If I eat a lot of certain aliums and/or spices, you will definitely find it radiating out of me.

If my work computer counts as an appliance, then that (I have been using a mac for 2 years now for work and am hating nearly every moment of it).

Other than that, I’m not really sure I have one.

Last I read, they were still happy to take money from, platform, and give money to nazis and other hate speech. After some backlash they added a rule something to the effect of not being allowed to call for extermination anymore, but not really much more.

In my mid-40s and this is more-or-less what I think as well.

A lot of countries do this and it works. Japan has a variant of this which, while certainly not perfect, is the reason when Abe was assassinated the dude had to basically DIY his own blunderbuss rather than being able to just unload.

As someone who owns a Kawasaki motorcycle and has been very pleased with their sales and service staff: won’t touch that thing. I don’t even know how/where one would refuel the thing; I’ve not seen hydrogen Stations anywhere here in japanJapan so far despite various automakers talking about it.

As I understand it, Jewish followers of the Jesus movement were meant to keep the law. However, especially after the death of Jesus, there was a lot of interest in getting gentiles on board and they, at least according to some authors (and apparently this was not a unified position?), the gentiles were not bound by the law (or maybe only by the Noahide law).

Strict households also have completely separate cookware, sinks, and even ovens/stoves. That blew my mind a bit when I first saw it.

I borrowed one (I can’t even tell you what the make/model was) in the early 2000s. The pics were OK, but the thing took forever to save; there was no quick shooting by pressing the button again.

We weren’t allowed to say something ‘sucks’ because of the sexual connotations; things were limited to stinking (at least within adult earshot).
