We don’t need giant, dangerous, shitty trucks like that here.

a fit of pique

I don’t think I’ve ever seen those words in that order.

Yeah, I’ve seen a lot of places around me cut back. Thankfully, I’m not forced to use AI directly. We do have it for code reviews (which I don’t hate as a concept, but would prefer local models trained on ethically-sourced data).

Maybe the right will suddenly be for ranked-choice-like voting. I’m not holding my breath, but it would be a neat side effect.

I forgot all about Enlightenment. Also, no Mandrake Linux?

They’re too busy responding to all the Europeans’ comments on US housing construction materials at the moment.

Gwar shows are a lot of fun so seconding this; go if you get a chance (and maybe bring a change of clothes).

I don’t like her (to put it nicely), but I don’t think she’s that daft. It’s basically meaningless stuff that’s pandering to certain portions of the LDP base.

I doubt it with the flag (though tons of people fly the naval ensign today already, not just far right folks and nothing legally forbids doing so AFAIK) since this would have consequences with some of the biggest trade partners when the economy is already in trouble.

Edit: to be clear, I think this is a really dumb idea and don’t agree with it.

I work in IT in Japan and we’d be in deep shit if that happened at any company I work for.

I don’t think I’ve ever used Komodo station for anything before which is why I clicked to see.

Probably not interested for those specs at that price.

In Japan, the page also has a link that goes to some partner of theirs that’s just a maintenance page at 09:38 on a weekday which… does not inspire confidence.

I don’t like either. Blue cheese itself is rather hit-or-miss for me (I think I may also be mildly allergic). The ingredients that go into ranch I mostly like. I think it boils down to not liking US mayo; I thought I hated all mayo until I had Japanese.

Our rural roads here in Japan are 60 at most, with most being 40 or 50. I don’t think I’d feel safe going a whole lot faster than that. Certain divided, multi-lane roads can get up to 80, but those are different to what I’m thinking of going to actual individual houses.

My company has been reducing force multiple times and did one round in a particularly shitty way. Our bonuses were the lowest ever this round despite us all having had to carry more weight. They wonder why our morale is shit.

I didn’t state anywhere that they should. It’s possible to implement some of a system without other parts (in this case, increasing protections and stability for employees), and I’d like to see that done. As someone who lives and works in Japan, I definitely don’t think anyone should be imitating all of it.

What’s with the snark?

Consumers giving money to a company tells the company they support (or at least tolerate) what the company is doing. That is what I mean by rewarding this behavior.

In Japan, it looks like.

They’re only 3rd person, IIRC. I’m not a huge fan of that, personally.

Fish sauce adds umami so you can throw it a lot of things. I always use some in my chili.

I got it for free, but I couldn’t get through it. It was grindy (even as I got to the point where I could make a zombie worker or something similar (though I didn’t actually do that yet)) and didn’t really hold my attention. I’ve not played stardew, harvest moon, nor any others that I can think of, so it may just be the genre isn’t really for me.

We don’t have sales numbers to work with, but they sponsor videos and do all kinds of stuff. Especially with all the AI hype, they could be unwisely using their money. Only they know that, however. They’ve not done right by many of their employees nor consumers for more than the last fiscal year, though.

In general, the whole ‘game studio builds thing then lays people off’ is just gross to me. Here in Japan, we don’t have that because it would be illegal. Companies have to be more prudent in their hiring, planning, spending, and saving. All workers should have those rights and I try to avoid giving money to companies that do not grant them.
