hole is just there for making production easier

The holes allow the socket to grip the plug more firmly according to this page.

But, yes. These plugs are completely normal in Japan at least.

It looks pretty awesome. But I do wonder why your workplace doesn’t just refill the bottle instead of disposing of it and buying a new one. Props for the up-cycling though!

Good to know, thanks! Now to go search for vinegar powder!

Oh man I love salt and vinegar chips so much but I cannot for the life of me find anything that tastes strong enough that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg in Japan.

Yeah the (lack of) difference in price between generations is ridiculous. I just bought a 13 after using my 8 for six years.

The only difference between the 13 and 14 was once graphics core. So there was no way I was considering the 14.

But the 15 has USB C, which don’t get me wrong is great, but when you have a ton of lightning cables that will need to be replaced, it doesn’t seem like such a good idea (especially when family members are still using phones with lightning).

You can also get the physical media for a bit more on Amazon Japan at ¥5,307 if that’s your preference.

The politicians worry that same sex marriage will result in an even lower birth rate, which seems ridiculous! It’s not like those people are currently making babies. And they might consider surrogacy or other options if they were able to marry. So same sex marriage could actually increase the population.

What method to clean them would you recommend? Just some bleach and a scrubbing brush? Would you have to remove them beforehand?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No worries. Thanks for the hard work!

If you use a dns level ad blocker there aren’t any ads. I didn’t know there were any until I read your post.

 

For the past two years I have been actively avoiding places which refuse to accept electronic pavement methods. It is just so much easier to manage finances (for me at least).

I’ve even been in the situation where the only cashless payment which was accepted was SUICA, so I charged my SUICA at the register on my iPhone via credit card!

Unfortunately, there are a few holdouts (looking at you local clinics etc).

What do you do when you encounter an establishment which only accepts cash?

 

I just realised I didn’t restock my emergency bag with food so was wondering what you guys would put in?

Previously, I put soy joy (wouldn’t recommend, as they were awful), granola bars, a jar of peanut butter (easy to eat, high in calories), and a bag of Kit Kats (gotta have something nice).

Even if you don’t have an emergency bag, I would love to hear what ideas you have.

 

Well the rainy season is here, so what tips or tricks do you have to endure it?

Workman sells rubber “hiking” boots which are great as rain boots, but not so comfortable for those with big feet.

Let’s try to be active and build this community, too!

 

This may be of interest to some in this community. I’m not a member nor an ALT but if you are you should check it out!

I recently tried this deodorant and was very happy with the results. Unfortunately, with daily use, one stick only lasted a month.

I’ve searched my local drug stores and haven’t been able to find the same brand. Has anyone seen this at a better price?

Do you have a deodorant which you would recommend that can be easily bought here? (I know iHerb exists but I don’t want to order ¥6,000 just to get free shipping lol).
