Dollar stores in Japan are a whole WORLD away. Literally. And metaphorically. Daiso takes Dollar General out back and beats it with a willow switch until it cries.
A Lawsons or or a 711 in Japan has a staggering selection of ready made food, shipped in a few times daily. They have cheap booze and they provide both ramen and free hot water.

Bold of them to use a Canada Eagle in that pic, after wiping out almost all of their own.
- Comment on Banana for scale 1 week ago:
Sure. It’s an option though, works fine.
I just don’t think it’s a valid criticism to point out that infinite numbers exist.
- Comment on Banana for scale 1 week ago:
Nothing stopping you from just saying 1/3rd metre. Fractions still work!
- Comment on Goteem 1 week ago:
They stopped that a couple years ago iirc
- Comment on Banana for scale 1 week ago:
Only if you’re used to it.
- Comment on Banana for scale 1 week ago:
Hah, no doubt. But it can make sense in some contexts. I wouldn’t mind using it for daily use personally, it’s about 15 minutes.
The 24 hour clock is fine but it’s much easier to do integer math with seconds.
- Comment on Banana for scale 1 week ago:
Seconds are SI, I believe, and it makes perfect sense to talk milliseconds, kiloseconds, etc.

It’s really easy to think of examples of that, wow. I don’t fully buy it but i can see how it could be a factor in some civs.

Canadians don’t wear Canadian flags, it’s almost always an American.

While that is awful… I’d eliminate the internet line and tether my phone. Data plans are ridiculous these days.

I can see that. My feet take a few days of careful husbanding before they develop the callouses for a new pair of sandals, and there’s gonna be some sore spots. It helps to stick a bandaid over the sore spots to give them a chance to toughen up.
I can well imagine that some people might take longer or develop blisters more easily, preventing the skin from getting to that point. Dry skin is a good hypothesis.
Socks are a totally decent option. If it’s not going to happen, don’t try to force it. /nod
- Comment on German joke 1 month ago:
Ive tried that, i find the socks make them too likely to slip when I walk. Don’t understand it.

Well… use certbot’s new dns persistence mode. That may be a few years before it gets in. May be in backports.

No, it would be a tax on revenues that amazon, facebook, adobe, xitter, etc extract from Canadians. Digital Services. Subscriptions, software, that kind of thing.

Digital. Services. Tax.
