That final frame brought up some repressed memories. It was not a great time to be in a tech support call center; the queues never ended.

dont care about reliability

I used iPhones for years and switched to Android. I had to factory reset my Pixel 6 pro twice in a matter of months (no side-loaded apps, very few apps in general, and not any weird use cases). That's in addition to the months of issues with BlueTooth (and still some today), the camera overheating quickly (4k video was one of the main reasons I bought it), and more. My wife has used Samsung for years and has also had more issues than I did with iPhone. Same experience with iPad vs Android tablets. I waffle about switching back, but will likely stay with Android at this point. Still, enough BS could push me back the other way.

To me, iPhones/iPads were way reliable than Android has been for me.

Really? That's a pretty typical Japanese breakfast in terms of size. Fish, salad/pickles, rice, soup, and natto is pretty standard. My wife is tiny and would totally eat that every morning if we made it. She's usually too busy to make the fish, but eats natto, rice, pickles/salad, and sometimes soup (more in the cooler months) every morning before work.

? People in many countries use this like Americans use SMS/texting. In Japan, we use LINE instead. Korea mainly uses Kakaotalk and some LINE, etc. SMS just isn't really used in a number of countries by anyone of any age.

"I'm not racist." is a great statement. "I'm not racist, but" is quickly entering dangerous territory.

"I don't want to yuck your yum." is also a great statement. "I don't want to yuck your yum, but" has the same problem as the above.

That "but" is doing a lot of heavy lifting and contradicting the preceding part.

I was always partial to groovy/grails, personally. Springboot basically killed it. I mostly work in Go these days and enjoy it well enough.

We've been 37 or 38 in my area of Tokyo off and on the past couple of weeks. It will only get warmer. The bad part is that it's still rainy season so we also get stupid humidity to go with it. It's 27 in my office, but we have at least one of our aircon units running nearly 24/7 on the "dry" setting to attempt to pull some of the heat and humidity out.

14:15 here in Tokyo. I haven't been to the UK in so many years, I'm not even sure what is open when these days (I was last there in '99). Got a bicycle? If it's bright enough, maybe burn some of that adrenaline cycling or running or something?

My wife's phone does this as well (Japan)

tiredofsametab ,

Phone in front-left, wallet and a hand towel (Tokyo summers are a sweaty, brutal mess) in right-front. Keys clipped somewhere to my belt loop. back pockets usually empty.

My last Ubuntu install got destroyed by some package update and I was unable to fix it after hours and hours of futsing within it (I think it was related to graphics drivers, but I can't say 100%). This made me put it aside again since I just don't have time to deal with it and really just wanted something simple and reliable on my laptop. It's annoying because, aside from some games, I can already pretty much do anything I need to do on Linux just fine, but I won't risk issues like that taking down my whole setup.

TIL in Japan raw eggs are generally safe to eat. This is because the country has developed a "super egg machine" that checks the inside of the eggs for salmonella using spectroscopic analysis. It a... (www.mashed.com)

While most eggs are considered unsafe to eat when raw, there's a scientifically interesting reason eggs are generally safe to eat raw in Japan.

Eggs are refrigerated in Japan all the time (edit: as in regularly not literally 100% of the time; bad word choice on my part). Source: years living in Japan and every supermarket I go to. There are always far more refrigerated than not.

I think (at least some) are refrigerated in route to stores during distribution, but I'm not sure on any numbers here

tiredofsametab ,

This is very true. I'm mostly shopping in Tokyo supermarkets.
