I’ve considered getting an electric one to blow all the dust out of my shop/warehouse, but I can’t justify the cost. I need a good shop/push broom and Japan doesn’t seem to like those (at least anywhere that I’ve looked).

ough has something like 8 different pronunciations in English. Good luck!~

We could have if things were a little different. I’m not sure about Old Norse nor Old English, but Modern German does change Haus to Häuser (that äu is pronounced kinda like ‘oi’) and presumably it was quite similar in (at least some varieties of) Old English.

That’s so outdated… I guess they’re just full of old people

If you actually voted, you’d know that and, if desired, could do something about that. So many people here don’t vote.

Thou doughnut. Thou Ohio toilet. A pox upon thy rizz. May thine aura either.

I had at least one quest which, when certain choices were made, would not complete. They never fixed it, but did release a cash-grab level-cap-increasing version later. Left a bad taste in my mouth. (There were other bugs and issues I faced that also never got fixed, but I don’t recall what they were anymore). I mostly did enjoy the game, otherwise, and the size was fine in my opinion.

I gave it a month about 10 years ago and saw no improvement at any dosage. I had a friend for whom it wotked

“The ancestor of Santa…” or something would probably work around it well enough to keep those people happy.

әәәәәәә, nә?

I don’t know if I’d still call myself a gamer. I still play games, but I just don’t have much time for them. As such, I do have videos on in the background frequently and it is frequently people playing games (though how they’re doing it or what they’re doing in the games is the interesting part and, in some cases, I’d watch the same content if it weren’t in a game but that’s how it happens to be packaged).

Wife saw two shooting stars in short succession a few days ago. I wonder if it was little grains preceding this guy or just random junk.

rice cooker, slow cooker, or pressure cooker.

I literally had none of these at the time I mentioned. I had I think two pots and a frying pan.

over 90% of the American population live within 15 minutes of a Walmart (with three quarters being within 5 minutes from one)

Citation? I sure didn’t.

if they don’t already have more than one grocery store in their area.

We had one and that was anywhere close. Again, remember gas money and travel time were issues for me. Like every cent of gas and food money.

Please don’t diminish someone’s ability to really improve their life with very little effort

But it’s fine for you to tell the working poor to basically ‘git gud’ and find money to spend on things, places to spend it, and time to do so? Particularly the ones without vehicles? The ones who deal in cash and don’t have debit or credit cards to order online?

there really is no such thing as a food desert.

Again, there are people who do not have bank accounts or cannot regularly access them to spend money online and most places these days aren’t going to do CoD. This is also just misinformation.

"The consensus established at the NIH workshop was that food insecurity and unhealthy neighborhood food environments contribute to diet-related chronic diseases that worsen health disparities. Addressing these challenges would help tackle nutrition security, a growing priority for the USDA and other federal agencies [83]. Several factors, including social determinants of health such as employment, housing, and education, severely limit access to affordable, nutritious food among various racial/ethnic minority and rural populations. " from the conclusion/summary of https://ajcn.nutrition.org/article/S0002-9165(23)66352-X/fulltext which also mentions food deserts elsewhere in the work.

The worst thing we can do is convince people that they are powerless

Of course they’re not powerless, but your “solutions” are blind to just how shit the situation is. I’m telling you this as a very annoyed person who lived it. You’re telling people to come up with time, means, and money out of nowhere. “It’s just $10” is insulting to some people who are choosing between food and medicine or heat or electricity. You are saying to empower yet victim-blaming by saying they’re not doing enough.

I just never buy those games. Epic released with exclusives but couldn’t process payments in a number of country leaving gamers there SOL. That and some of the higher-ups there just left a really bad taste in my mouth. Anything that also releases as a timed exclusive there doesn’t get a purchase from me until years later when it’s more than half off (and I think I’ve only bought one game like that). A Steam monopoly is bad, but Epic are not the solution to that.

I love to cook and always have. When I was working 2 jobs (and some additional freelance/part time) to keep a roof over our heads, there was zero chance I had the time, money, and energy to cook. Living in a food desert, I would have to spend gas money I didn’t have to go to a proper store to buy things and that would eat about 50 minutes more of my already-sleep-deprived day. Don’t even get me started on when I lived out of a car for a while. And I’m fortunate that I even had the car. Public transit was terrible where I lived at the time and basically useless unless you want to spend 3-4 hours a day commuting. There were no sidewalks and multi-lane roads with high speed limits. The social safety net is also in terrible shape, moreso today than back then.

“Only $10” also shows how out-of-touch you can be for the real situation that people have, particularly in areas of the rust belt and coal mining areas where the employers frequently left. I also worked in worker’s comp in healthcare IT and let me tell you that people with lifelong problems from the mines frequently get denied care as the mines fight just about everything, so there are people who have a really rough time and need more care for their families which is still more time and money in places with few jobs left to go around. These people also don’t have the resources to “just move”, either. This doesn’t even go into the opioid epidemic that also is an issue from overprescription in those areas and other confounding factors.

I live in Japan and am overweight, though slowly dropping it. Two years ago, I went back for the first time in like 6+ years and was shocked and horrified at how huge people were.

Depending upon ventilation, if they succeed in drying it enough and not having it overflow getting it in, they might not have to worry about getting it out.

3 was awful and Tiny Tina really failed to deliver on an otherwise great concept in my mind. I bought both deeply discounted and I’m still not sure that was fair. Not touching anything new that comes out until well after release. Pitchford and Take 2 both suck in my opinion.

Look up brick and motor walls regarding their performance in quakes. Those motor joints (or interfaces when dry stone) are all failure points and that leads to a wall collapsing. It’s why you don’t see modern japanese buildings like that; they don’t meet code. If you want earthquake safety, wood or reinforced concrete are the materials of choice.

Also the walls aren’t paper. Even in modern Japan where I live they’re not and we have some interior walls with paper. I have no idea what you are on about.

I grew up in cold but have spent almost two decades in humid subtropical. If it’s 20ish outside, I usually won’t turn on the heat, but 23 if it gets any colder (though that’s in part because old japanese house loses heat like crazy. 21 is good for me)

Earthquakes would say otherwise for at least part of the US. Also, without full-time mechanical ventilation, that would be misery in a lot of the US. The climate is also different to some places in Europe and varies hugely on US region
