Toad the Wet Sprocket is a weird band name, but I’m glad they changed it from Toad the Moist Sprocket

Then again, I take this with a grain of salt as Japanese people do love to be 偽善人 online for attention.

If only they put that energy toward bettering themselves.

Your product was delivered half way around the world on planes, various couriers etc. The box had a small indentation on a corner, we cannot possibly trust your product.

why tf do Japanese textbooks try teach to participle constructions to kids who couldn't order a drink in English without pointing to the menu

@jamesrg @k8 @alanb @pippa I’ve always felt that exams only test for passing exams. It only tests the ability to pass an exam. A situation that rarely happens in real life.

@alanb @jamesrg @pippa @k8 it’s absolutely loaded against teachers also. Just “rankings” and “scores”. I’d hire a learner over a regurgitator any time.

Japanese food tournament! 🍣 🍱 :chikuwa: :famichiki:

I made a bracket of 32 contenders to see which Japanese food will reign supreme.

The seeding is random. Winners of groups 1-4 will face off in the next round. Losers will go to the loser bracket to compete for least favorite.

Here's round 1, group 3! :bongo_cat:

Other groups are pinned in my profile if you missed them :donki:

Today’s limited time food. Sweet Potato Parm.

Pretty good! It had normal creamy parm texture, but tastes pretty much exactly like a roasted sweet potato….so if you like both of those, you’ll like this 💡

8/10 🍠

I’m pretty into units of measure (which is why I’m fun at parties).

I ran into a couple odd ones today.

Some background: most unit names are lowercase, i.e., not proper nouns, even though many are named after people. So, watt, meter, kelvin (degrees Celsius is the big exception)

Unit symbols can be caps or not: W, m, K, ℃

A weird one I saw today is the gal, a unit of acceleration with symbol Gal to distinguish from gallon

And torr, a unit of pressure, has symbol Torr for no freaking reason.

I made soup. It’s…ok.

My main goal was to use a bunch of vegetables that seemed past their prime. So did clear out the veggie drawer at least.

I hadn’t seen a beer vending machine in a neighborhood for a long time. Today I took a different route on a walk and found two 🫨

It also had a scanner for the drivers license. Last time I lived near one, years and years ago, it was just totally open / verification free.

A machine with labeling on it in Japanese that says it’s a drivers license scanner

@FlockOfCats verification free is pretty rare for the last 10 years at least.
