In addition to grammar, I can’t believe I have to fix the most basic factual errors by my editing clients. Like this one dude — he just wrote the date in the cover letter as March 2024 wtf

2024? What kind of scifi date is that? I mean, it's only...

Today I learned FamilyMart has a limit of 30 coins to pay for anything. This is incredibly annoying as I only ever pay in cash for bills that require it, and over years I have attained a bag of coins I need to dispense with.

Legal tender is legal tender, and either it should be accepted or the government should eliminate it.

jezebelkat,
@jezebelkat@famichiki.jp avatar

@FlockOfCats This was not possible, given the math involved.

jezebelkat,
@jezebelkat@famichiki.jp avatar

I mean it's not like I have paying some huge amount in coins. It was only 700 yen. Most of which was in 10s, with a couple of 50s, and a few fives (and two 1s, because the cost ended in 2 yen).

I just didn't happen to have that last 1000 yen note, nor did I have any 100s.

Best New Mexican food is best triangulated this way:

New Mexico
Southern New Mexico
Doña Ana County
Las Cruces
Missouri Avenue
Little hole in the wall called El Jacalito (The Small Adobe House) with the best gorditas on the planet. The place is a greasy spoon, heavy on the grease, limited number of spoons.

I absolutely survived on those as a latchkey kid living in the overtly Mid-Century Modern neighborhood.

Explains a helluva lot about me does it not? Ain't no Modern like Desert Modern.

@Tsutsuku I attended Burnet Middle School, I attended UT Austin and Huston-Tillotson. I acknowledge its diversity, but I'm saying I still didn't like it as much as New Mexico, even with that diversity.

But sure, it's a whole lot better than the North Dallas burbs.

jezebelkat,
@jezebelkat@famichiki.jp avatar

@Tsutsuku I went to UT, so yeah, I've definitely heard of it. Plenty of locals from there at UT.

Only as an adult have I fully understood how much my experiences as a New Mexican really formed me. Only now can I look back at my time in Texas, even when I lived in Austin which I generally liked, and understand now why I was so unhappy and felt so out of place there.

@FlockOfCats and since they will need to be bought separately and that window is not to scale at all, here is what I will be using for the upper cabinets, so just imagine two above each side of the L:

The mock-up. As the Japanese says, the lazy susan door will need to be DIY'ed from an extra cover panel.

And this will be painted turquoise/teal. I wanted solid wood in case I wanted to stain it or repaint it later. Laminate really can't take that. Also moisture and oil and all that.

There will be soup

Various chopped vegetables (carrots, celery, onion, potato, ginger) on a cutting board and raw chicken on a tray, with a cooking pot in the background.

Oh btw a while back there were rumblings about a famichiki DnD? Were you still thinking about that @jezebelkat? 🤓

@FlockOfCats Yes, probably. I need to get it set up.

What is Japan hoping to get out of this? It’s essentially an 180 days tourist visa that you need to earn 70k USD for. I don’t know if the few people using this will boost consumption a considerable amount.

Starting to use Homebrew for backporting Linux apps to macOS, further ensuring that when the day comes I must give up macOS forever, except for MS 365 Desktop (because Microsoft), I'll have the same suite of apps on both platforms.

@FlockOfCats You got whipped by @glen_malley by about ten seconds.

Kinda shocked this worked, honestly.

It took a while to install the dependencies, but was pretty similar to installation on Linux. Underlying UNIXiness of Darwin, I would guess.

Haven't used iTunes/Apple Music in years. Audacious has been my choice on linux for a long time. Before that, XMMS with a WinAmp-ish skin... Wonder if this version of Audacious has it too...

LOL, it absolutely does. Hilarious.
