@MIBkai It was toilet paper during COVID, but usually it seems to be bread and milk that go first whenever some sort of weather event or disaster occurs.

そういえば、日本だと災害や石油の供給で問題が起きると途端にパニックを起こしてトイレットペーパーを老人が買い占めに走る（面白いことに、前日から店に並んで家がトイレットペーパーで埋まるほど買っても買い占めるとかいう完全に頭がイカれたとしか思えない行為をしてる。たいていやるのは老人なんだけども）んだけど、アメリカだと何なんだろうね。銃弾は聞いたことあるけど。

@learning_yohei For restaurants in particular, food cost is very small. Most expenses are in labor, rent, and equipment. So larger portions are a very cheap way to attract more customers. Better to provide too much rather than too little and leave the customer unsatisfied.

日本から投稿しています。アメリカ人に質問があります。どうしてアメリカのステーキはあんなに巨大なんですか？アメリカ人は毎日あんな巨大なステーキを食べているのですか？日本のステーキはもっと小さいです。気になって夜も眠れません🇺🇸🥩😵💫

@hoshizorarock Architecturally Chicago is our strongest city, but notoriously corrupt and badly managed. There's an American saying "when I die, I wish to be buried in Chicago, so I can have a politically active afterlife".
New York is strong too, and DC is excellent for neoclassical.

@yashi09 The only American job where you're virtually guaranteed to go home on time is the government. But also, we have no concern about leaving before our boss, who's usually expected to keep longer hours.
English
@yashi09 At my job we work 4 12s a week, maybe 5 if we're busy. Not the norm, but large amounts of overtime are common in blue collar professions. Some white collar professions also have this but it's not the norm. "Big law", consulting, and some kinds of finance mainly.
English
@terrakei07 It's memetic. Although it is very expensive, dirty, and inefficient, it is also very wealthy and innovative. It's beautiful but they build in wildfire zones. Really just a microcosm of American self contradiction.
The high taxes and many homeless are the biggest reason though.

嫌味とかではなく本当に素朴な疑問なんだけど、アメリカ人の皆さんはなんでそこまでカリフォルニアを嫌っているんですか？

I have another proposal. We swap California for Japan geographically and leave everything else as is.

@CorporalFrisk @scottlincicome Big difference between not actively helping, and actively undermining. Especially because this looks very much like a pattern (of Europe intentionally trying to sabotage our ME efforts) and because clearly the "alternative" the Spanish, Italians etc plan on is just bribing Iran
English
If this is the widely shared view, it's easy be pessimistic. You could describe me as an Iran-hawk and Trans-Atlanticist, and I don't see reason for Europe to get involved after US stumbled into war w/o a plan, crashed the world economy, all while threatening and insulting allies
Peter Meijer@PeterMeijer
It would behoove our NATO allies to appreciate that this sentiment is *very* widely shared, including amongst erstwhile boosters of trans-Atlantic relations.
English
@tada2547 Not really. I might cube chuck like that for a stew or pilaf, but the closest thing I can think of are various varieties of kebabs. The relatively plain American ones are common staples for grilling (not bbqing) with vegetables and perhaps mushrooms. Oc we have Afghan etc too
English
ここ数日、さんざアメリカBBQのドデカ肉がタイムラインに流れてきて、肉欲（）が溢れてどうしようもないので、本日のメインは土佐あか牛のサイコロステーキ🥩
アメリカにもダイスカットステーキとか有るんじゃろかね？
ハハハ、これだから島国はʅ（◞‿◟）ʃって感じなんじゃろかね

@rc51_nono_sp2 It's nice to know that car enthusiasts are the same everywhere. They never buy what they say they want, and certainly not new.

一生これ言ってるダサい軽自動車乗りいるけど、発売されたって口だけで買わねぇじゃん
軽でしか通れないような道なんかほとんど無いし、メイン機でアメ車乗る奴はサブ機があるから問題ないし

アメリカの兄貴達よ この写真を見て欲しい これは少し誇張もあるが、実際に存在する日本の車だ 日本の道は狭い 駐車場も狭い だから日本ではコンパクトな車が売れる 勿論写真の様なピックアップトラックを買う人達もいるが、これは非常に少ない だから日本で売れる車を作ってくれ 小型で燃費が良かったら買う人も多いよ ヨーロッパの車はその理由で売れているのだから
日本語
@hallocopen_gr You can purchase guns at a Walmart. Like tires, groceries, furniture, medicine, glasses, FedEx boxes, clothes, small tractors, god knows what else. Of course not particularly unique or good guns but they are cheap and available.

アメリカには「バイオハザード2」のガンショップ「ケンド」のように
本物の銃が買えるお店があるんだなぁ🤔
同じ地球に住んでるのに国が違うとこんなにも銃に対する考え方が違うのか…
それに年齢制限に加えて手続きも色々あるみたいだ
日本はずっとサムライの国がだったから刀こそ美術品として登録証がついたものなら買えるけど
かなり高額だろうし、無可動実銃でもかなり高い…
すごいなぁ…知らない事がいっぱいだ🤔
日本語
@BenF_Floridaman Never seen an ammo vending machine. Americans tend to order things delivered rather than from vending machines, or go to big box stores. We're more dispersed.
You can shoot though a surprising amount of ammo in a range day. Not uncommon to expend hundreds of rounds.
English
日本って、いろんなものが自動販売機で売ってるよね？
アメリカじゃ、弾薬が自動販売機で買えたり、55ガロン・ドラム缶単位で売ってたりするんだって。
なんでそんなに買うのか全然わからないけど、お金があればね。
Japan seems to sell a lot of things in vending machines, don’t they? In the United States, you can buy ammo in them or even in a 55 gallon drum. Why you would do that I have no clue, but if you have the money.
日本語
@StrongzeroTrpg Ohhh. It's a little like "rapid unscheduled disassembly" (RUD), which is slang for "your rocket exploded". Or "error in the chair keyboard interface", which is when the user breaks a computer.
English
@theodor_oka @IaaIto Not great, not terrible. We're getting better at managing the groundwater, but this is offset by the fact the Western US is in a long term drought. Aquifer depletion is much less of a concern than the Colorado or the potential loss of the whole Great Salt Lake.

@confusedorlean @IaaIto ありがとうございます！
私が以前読んだ本の記載にあったので記憶していました。
その本にはセンターピボット式の水源となる井戸水の枯渇が懸念されていましたが、実情はどういったものでしょうか？
日本語
@Baketu_head Yeah--most of the places that flood badly aren't terribly populated, although the government maintains a subsidized insurance scheme that encouraged people to rebuild in flood zones, which has been somewhat reformed.
The Tokyo flood defenses are very impressive.
English
@confusedorlean 日本は住める地域が国土に比べてとても狭いので人が住める地域の河川は護岸工事が行なわれるか、上流にダムが作られます。しかし、僅か50年程前にも東京の河川で氾濫が起きました。その後、護岸工事により二度と氾濫は起きていませんが、多分アメリカとの大きな違いは人口密集度にもあると思います。
日本語
昔聞いたイングランドの洪水の話。日本の洪水は川が氾濫して何もかも押し流していくイメージだけど。毎年、スーっと静かに水位が上がり芝を越えて川が溢れるも、大きな水溜りのように枝の一本も流さず、ある日またススっと水が引くらしい。こういう平原だけの優しい洪水。

俺は葬送のフリーレンを見て「こんな川があるか！！」とイラついていたんだが、元ポストの3枚目を見て自分の世界の狭さに愕然としている。
日本語
@Baketu_head Indeed. It doesn't help that in America people simply built towns next to rivers not knowing their flooding history. In Japan anywhere that regularly floods like that is, I imagine, long abandoned of development. Here you can still see the bones of mills and roads of the unlucky.

@confusedorlean 私の母も長野の農家でした。いつも水の問題は農業につきものですね。
アパラチアは山岳を含む地域なので日本の河川の急流に近いのかもしれません。恐ろしくも豊かな自然は試練でもあり恩恵でもあります。
日本語
@theodor_oka @IaaIto It's true, starting with Ohio in the 1790s, the entire rest of the country, bar a few exceptions, was divided up into giant squares. It is quite a sight to see from an airplane. Out where they do center pivot land is very cheap compared to the cost of irrigation equipment.
English
@IaaIto アメリカで見たことはあるんですが、広すぎてよく分からなかったです。
圃場は円形なのに土地は正方形で購入しなきゃいけないから、現在は灌水するアームを伸縮させほぼ正方形で栽培している…なんて話は聞きますね。

@roikfbuwgc254 Nowhere near the biggest. One of our presidents kept a 600kg wheel of cheese, after his predecessor received a 550kg wheel. He served bits at parties, but at the very end of his presidency invited the general public to eat the cheese in a messy orgy of cheese violence.
English
@hoshizorarock We have a horse island, but it's, frankly, not very pleasant due to the number of flies. Every year they capture some of the horses to domesticate on "Pony Penning Day" and cowboys herd them to the mainland.

@scottlincicome Obviously the solution to fertility rates is to make social security conditional on seniors doing childcare labor
