It doesn’t taste soapy to me, but more like bug spray that I accidentally got in my mouth as a kid. Weirdly chemically

The real reason is probably more that I was not a fan of early 3d stuff in general. The camera was kinda crap, the controls didn’t feel great when walking around, etc. Not just an FF thing, either; this was for games as a whole except for racing games. I hated Starfox as well (coming from the Amiga world, some stuff felt like going backwards).
Being able to suplex a train, though, was a nice bonus.


Also read the whole recipe including the method and notes; some love to just slip things in that aren’t in the ingredients list (something to grease a pan, etc.) and knowing times and temps is very useful.


I personally was not interested in them at all. I was much more a fan of 6 than 7. As such, no idea on the quality.


I’d be fine with Square Enix going away. In my opinion, they got greedy and way too full of themselves. Nintendo as well, for that matter.


Huh? In driving, the slow lane is left and passing is on the right. On escalators (except in parts of Kansai), it’s stand left and walk (pass) right. Even in subways and train stations, walking is generally left (though some stations swap this in some/all sections for whatever reason). There is signage about this, though people routinely ignore it.


For those in poverty and without cars, trying to get somewhere to get an ID made can take a large amount of time and non-zero amount of money (even if just in trying to get to a DMV/BMV/DPS office) that they may not otherwise have.


Wexner does not surprise me at all having known people who worked for/around him and his properties.


I have to use Mac for work and hate the window management. So much of it feels counterintuitive, especially anything with two instances running and switching.


Fully remote for years now and never want an on-site job again. I don’t mind going for a couple of events a year, though.
I can take my “smoke break” to change loads of laundry or do something else around the house. I have no commute time nor expenses. I am always here for deliveries. I regained so much of my time that I can use for study or entertainment. (Assuming a 1-hour commute, even if most of that is on a train, that’s 10 hours a week back from that alone).
For success, your company and you need to have good communication and planning. It’s also not for everyone, especially more social people.


I’m in my mid-40s. I moved for my final year of highschool, so it’s a bit weird. When Facebook came out, I did reconnect with some, but I quit it around 8 years ago now and lost contact mostly. When I look up my first (rural) school classmates by name now and again, I get so many obituaries. Some freak accidents, many cae accidents, some military, and others still drugs and violence (not much else in tiny truck stop towns). My graduating class was like 180is people and easily a tenth of them are gone (it feels more like 1/5 even).


I was terrible at standardized tests. I was in gifted and learning disability classes at the same time in middle school (basically because of ADHD and losing my homework, forgetting it at home, etc.) I’m a successful software engineer who learns foreign languages as a hobby and also run a second business (a small farm) while volunteering sometimes in my village. I think I did OK in that regard(at least in the booksmarts sort of way which is what this presumably measures).
If standardized tests aren’t working for Gen Z, we should find a better way to measure things. I doubt the sky is falling.


Nah. I’m ~40 hours a week (very rare overtime) + an on-call rotation about once a month (zero calls in months) + fully remote except for a couple events a year (though I’m welcome to go to the office more). Even if I make ~50% of whatever they’re paying, that’s still fine with me. I worked my ass off, including multiple jobs, when I was younger.
I guess the asterisk here is that I did start my own farm business on a small farm, but that’s also monetizing a hobby.
I’m using mbin in a browser so, er, nothing yet?
Legal trouble with the FCC (which I believe is a federal level crime) as another poster mentioned.
There’s also truncing, but some scanners support that. I imagine the op was referring to baofengs from Amazon or something which opens another can of worms


I am right-handed and grew up driving on the right side of the road (so wheel on left). I now live in a right-drive country. It makes no difference. I haven’t driven manual here so it might be weird learning to shift with my left hand (I drove manual in the US for 15+ years), but I could get used to it. If I ever needed to joust or shoot someone from my car, having my dominant hand be closer to the window is generally helpful (and why some say that driving on the left with the driver at the right became a thing).


Bought n95 masks, gloves, and sanitizer. Also bought full-body covering (used by care workers and such to avoid being covered in various fluids) though those never got used. I mostly stayed home except for once every two weeks or so (groceries, etc.)
Thing is, my friends and I all think we got it before it was officially in Japan and, indeed, I was a close contact of someone who got it and was immune so it seems plausible.


As the article points out, we’re also in an election (voting is today (Sunday Japan time)) so the cynical side of me worders if the timing is coordinated since fear and “foreigners bad” are successfully distracting from actual issues of rising prices and stagnant wages leading to a lower quality of life
Norwegian. I’m already working on it, but magic would be nice
