Not for long enough. Shame that Japan didn't have the balls to do it when he was a being a dick here.

smear wasabi on sushi

There is nothing wrong with this. Sushi cehfs put it on the underside. If you want more, put it on top. It's generally considered bad manners to mix soy sauce with wasabi and dunk but, to be honest, I see that fairly frequently here in Japan as well. Mixing soy sauce and wasabi to pour over chirashi is fine.

The only thing wearing gloves does is keep your hands clean.

That's not true when gloves are used properly (only put on with clean hands, changed when appropriate, etc.). Of course, the number of people/places that do not do those things...

Cilantro tastes like bug spray to me and no amount of eating it anyway has helped and any significant amount ruins whatever I'm eating. That said, the only time I bring it up is in conversations like these.

I described myself as a coder for a while starting somewhere around '03 or '04 IIRC.

Unscrew it. Throw it away. Keep your spices away from light and air.

If it makes you feel better, Japanese has the same problem (and I'm sure other languages).

I'm cheaper! I'll do it for having my student loans paid off, my house paid off, and some spending money; I don't even need the wife!

It probably varies by area. If a significant enough portion stops eating meat, it may drive down demand. That could drive down price, result in a one-time sale to lower old stock (if sudden) and then back to status quo, or have no impact at all (this more depends on the source and distribution network I think)

And our service is generally getting worse and costing more. JR companies are private, for-profit companies trying to squeeze as much profit to pay their upper members crazy bonuses at the expense of the people.

I stopped. Anyone who wanted to keep in touch with me was given other methods of doing that. Anyone else who couldn't be bothered to spend 20 extra seconds? Not worth having in my life.

5000 yen is like $43.50 CAD. I think you have an extra zero

 

Hello! I just got an SDR and decided to start listening. As a teen, I bought a scanner from someone and used to fall asleep listening to all the various different conversations. I decided I should probably start again and get my license (for which I am studying).

The SDR I got is "RTL-SDR Blog V4 R828D RTL2832U 1PPM TCXO HF Bias Tee SMA Software Defined Radio with Dipole Antenna Kit " and I'm able to pick up some things (various shortwave, FM, AM, nearest airport, etc.), however I can't seem to get the IBP beacon nearest me. This could be in part due to literal mountains between us, I suppose (Japan problems), but I hear no beacons on any of the listed frequencies.

I am using the di-pole antenna included in the kit, fully extended, attached to the east side of my house (about 3km away from the pacific, but I have mountains west and some taller hills north and south). "2x 23cm to 1 m telescopic antennas." is what it says so I suppose It's a bit over 2m tip-to-tip oriented vertically.

Should I be able to receive any of the IBP beacons with my antenna, position, and orientation? Am I doing something obviously wrong? I'm happy to go fish if you point me in the right direction, but my searching hasn't turned up anything useful so far (probably user error in that I don't know exactly what to search for).

Thanks very much!
