@holyash21 I dunno... I think one horse cock might be too much.

Get two of this and retire.

@tanpukunokami Same here, bud. Same here.

Japan is taxing you to death. Literally. Earn money?Income tax. Spend it?Consumption tax. Buy a car? Car tax. Drink? Liquor tax. Give to your kids? Gift tax. Die? Inheritance tax. How is this normal?

@tanpukunokami I miss Shakey's. I have two glass Shakey's cups i found at the thrift store. We had one or two in Boise. We also used to have Skipper's, a seafood place.

Forget Pizza Hut. Forget Domino’s. There’s an American pizza chain that almost died in America — but is still thriving in Japan, more than five decades later. It’s called Shakey’s. In 1954, a man named Sherwood Johnson opened the first Shakey’s in Sacramento, California, with his college friend Ed Plummer. His nickname — “Shakey” — came from nerve damage he suffered after contracting malaria during World War II. He had tremors. His hands shook. They named the chain after that nickname. It became the first franchise pizza chain in U.S. history. Pizza Hut came four years later, in 1958. By 1974, Shakey’s had grown to about 500 stores across America. Live jazz. Banjo players. Pitchers of beer. Friday nights after high school football. Then came Pizza Hut. Domino’s. Papa John’s. By 2026, Shakey’s USA had collapsed to fewer than 50 locations — almost all in California. Basically dead in America. But here’s where it gets weird. In 1973, Shakey’s landed in Japan — through a joint venture with Mitsubishi Corporation and Kirin Beer. Japan barely knew what pizza was. Shakey’s didn’t just sell pizza. They introduced something Japan had never seen at affordable prices: The lunch buffet. All-you-can-eat pizza for the price of a regular meal. And then it got weirder. Shakey’s Japan started inventing their own pizzas. Mayo Corn. Mentaiko. Sweet Potato. Chocolate Banana Dessert Pizza. And one trademark side dish that, somehow, became more iconic than the pizza itself: Mojo Potatoes. Thick-sliced russets, seasoned breading, deep-fried to a golden crisp. Ask any Japanese person who was a teenager in the 90s or 2000s about Shakey’s, and they won’t talk about the pizza first. They’ll talk about the Mojos. I went to Shakey’s a lot in high school. Honestly, more than I should have. Tests done? Shakey’s. Date? Shakey’s again. Hanging out with the guys with no real plan? Yeah, Shakey’s. The pizza was fine. I’m not going to pretend it was the best pizza in the world. But the Mojos. Man. We’d just keep ordering them. Like, plate, then another plate, then another. At some point one of the staff would walk by and kind of look at us. Not say anything. Just look. I think we’d talk about stupid stuff. School, girls, who knows. I really don’t remember. But the Mojos I remember. So here’s where we are today. Shakey’s USA: under 50 stores, fading. Shakey’s Philippines: nearly 300 stores, booming. Shakey’s Japan: about 20 stores, still serving the same crispy crust they introduced in 1973. A chain nearly forgotten in its homeland — still loved in another country — half a century later. Anyway. If you’re in Japan, Shakey’s is still around. Mojos are still good. Funny how that works.

I love this image sm

@esrtweet @yishan I mostly agree with everything you say... With that said, the previous Aral Sea and the Salton Sea are both deserts created by people.

"an ecological irregularity brought on by the vagaries of human-caused and natural climate change." You were doing so well until you got to the nonsense. Sigh... Deserts aren't caused by "climate change". Some of the small ones are caused by rain-shadow and orogenic lift effects from mountains. The big ones are caused by large-scale circulation patterns in the Earth's atmosphere; the latitude band they cluster in is not an accident and it's very likely we would see similar phenomena on any planet with the approximate size and atmospheric composition of Earth, humans or no.

When we talk about regreening the entire Earth, sometimes people bring up the objection that desert ecosystems shouldn't be "destroyed." Those people are totally wrong. Desert ecosystems are not intrinsically "dry and barren." They are just dry. And if you add water, they bloom. Doing that isn't destroying or displacing or invading an ecosystem, it is BRINGING IT BACK TO LIFE. Consider the existence of desert oases: pockets in the desert where water happens to gather and accumulate. Oases are green with the very same native plants that would bloom across the entire desert ecosystem if there was enough water. Deserts being dry are an environmental blight, an ecological irregularity brought on by the vagaries of human-caused and natural climate change. We have the power to reverse this, to bring water to deserts and we should: it will mean more life, more economic value, and a better planet.

@SciFiArchives Back when General Electric meant something.

Meet the General Electric 70 MeV electron synchrotron. From 1956 to 1964, this particle accelerator delivered radiation therapy to cancer patients.

@tanpukunokami Do you know about jello parfait?

@BuckRekow マジ？気になるー

A follower showed me something called "Ambrosia Salad" the other day. …Is this real? Like, an actual thing people eat? Marshmallows. Whipped cream. Canned fruit. Coconut. …all of that? In one bowl? What is even supposed to go in a salad anymore? This is a salad?? I'm sorry, in what universe.

What In The Fuck Would You Need This For?!?

@rc51_nono_sp2 The Fordification forums are all about these trucks. I found someone there who knew the correct modifications to fit a Delcotron alternator to my 1970 and get the light to work right. Alternator was dead when I bought it, so I grabbed one off a John Deere 4020.

@qi83ofc So there are two choices... Anus or calamari.

@TWlocalTV Don't worry, they'll make more.

@TheMekon_Venus I'm trying to find some kind of super stupid ridiculous case for a project.

This PC case was from 2008. There were some wacky deigns back then. Is this cool.. or needlessly big?

@WeldPond @L0phtHeavyInd I kind of miss the Whacked Mac archive... I used to run the undernet IRC channel.

32 years ago today I registered the @L0phtHeavyInd class C. I got the email from ARIN, sent the class C address to our ISP, then got the first packets routed over our 56K modem to our 486 linux box. When those first packets come through the whole room exploded with chants of, "We on da backbone!" Then came one of the first hacking resources on the web, shell accounts, a bbs, webcams, and lots of shenanigans. You can see an archive of the website here: gbppr.net/l0pht/l0pht.ht…
