Great idea for a community. I hope to see it take off.

If you do not know Cirque du Soleil, it is an avante-garde circus, and musical experience that tells a story. They explore the edges of human abilities and present it through amazing beautiful images and sound. I sound like an ad, but this is not–I’m just a huge fan.

If you must be out, have an umbrella in one hand and a sports drink in the other. It’s supposed to be 37 tomorrow. Take care of yourself and pay attention to people who have to work outside.

This book happens to have the same title as my hiking group, but there is no connection. Art, architecture, food, things to do, souvenirs, all the iconic must see and must do things presented. Highly recommended for people preparing to explore Osaka.

When I lived in Norway, we had a similar thing that you need to do absolutely anything. It was actually very convenient, saved a lot of paperwork, and made life easier. You can generally trust the Norwegian government to look out for your interests and not abuse a system like that....

The gas station will open in a few days–Aug. 1. But if it is like the other Costco, they’ll require a MasterCard....

The em dash is called the em dash because on old typewriters it was as long as an M. Why do I feel closer to this punctuation mark than the others? It could be partly because I ignored it for so long that it is the last punctuation mark that I got to know, and when I found it, I learned that it could do the work of several other...

My Microsoft account at work made me re-think this because it is pushing me to add more commas that I usually do....

Accidently posted this twice. Lets stop adding to this one and go to the one with more comments

Of course the official rule is that for countable things, like apples, we say fewer, as in, “Why are there fewer apples?” And for things that you can’t really count, you use less, as in “We need more dream time and less screen time.”...

I see there are no comments here yet....

So Spookywagons. Here is the reply to your questions:...

Mandheling is a type of Sumatra and has the same low level of acidity as Starbucks Sumatra. (They are probably from similar beans.)...

Sometimes I’m just happy to be able to log in. I think Lemmy is worth the early days issues....

We’ve started our own wild yeast batch, and you can get dry sourdough yeast off of Amazon which has more punch that our wild batch, but sometimes a professionally done loaf is convenient....

spoilermoneyless socialist utopia...

It is sometimes called pizza and sometimes called pancakes and sometimes called pizza pancakes, but it is not those things. It is batter, covering meat and cabbage, and sometimes noodles, and meat, fried and topped with “sauce”, mayonnaise, and very, very thin slices of dried fish....

And a beautiful waterfall. Here is the suggested route for a hike up to Minoo falls. It’s a great walk and Osaka locals also visit. Just go to Minoo Station and this route will get you started. The route will be obvious. There’s food at the top. There’s a bit of a grade, so the mostly sedentary may have to work to get to...

The best two aquariums I’ve been to in Japan are the Kaiyukan in Osaka and one in Okinawa. Not sure which I’d say is best, but the Osaka aquarium is very cool....

It’s going to be here....

I’m talking about real pies, not tarts. (Although sometimes Andrew’s Egg Tarts fill the void.) Key Lime, Lemon Meringue, Rhubarb/Strawberry, Pecan, Apple, Cherry, Peach, etc....

I am listed as Subscription Pending on AskLemmy. It’s been that way for a long time. I was told the glitch may be just the subscription message. So. We’ll see.

After nearly a week, none seem to be accepting new members.

Here's my problem with most bacon I find here. It is too thin, and it is cured with something that burns before the bacon gets crispy....

All these are around the same price. A set will be more than 1500 yen, but less than 2000. Not cheap, but worth it....
