The lengths people go to to prevent flooding

@MikeIsaac Every now and then I think about an alternative universe where I emigrated to Europe instead of Japan, then I look at the mild winters in Tokyo vs real deal ones in a lot of the EU where I likely would have turned up and realize I probably made the right decision

california life for 20 years turned me into a huge baby im out east and keep complaining about how im covered in sleet and it’s KMS levels of lacking sunlight and all people can tell me is “oh but last week was way worse”

Incidentally this is also why I learned how to make basic cocktails. The ancients were right: turns out cheap liquor tastes better if you mix it with stuff

All this cooking discourse reminds me of when I was in college and learned how to make mapo tofu. Recipe carried me through first crummy job, even impressed a few people. Still make it today That and canned tomatoes (pasta and such) made for many cheap, easy, and good meals

@ruth Sick reference (and disgustingly true) PS miss you all

@sean Well, their cheese selection is excellent. So yeah maybe not for you.

@wil_da_beast630 Chris Rock called this out years ago, not sure this is new

i love these two weirdos so much

@ouranometrian2 Not “more” per se, but have had some great PM, BD, and management opportunities unlocked because I’m EN/JP bilingual

What job pays more because someone could speak more than 1 language. Or what career opens more doors because of knowing more than 1 language. Let's assume your first language is english, the lingua terra

@kumix_615 近年で結構行ってますので、おすすめほしいなら聞いてくださいね

Nonalcoholic beer situation has improved, though unfortunately not as many IPAs as I’d prefer

Filing a police report for the stolen autumn this year in Tokyo

@shagbark_hick No, seriously, don’t. Feel free to DM if you want to know more.

Why don't I ever hear anything about Laredo, TX? It's got a quarter-million people, border proximity, decent climate. Kind of strange everyone's piling into Austin but not going for Texas towns like Laredo. What gives?
