Can confirm. Started potatoes in a grow-bag last year, did another round this year. The bag doesn't hold a ton of soil, but it was apparently enough to turn 5 seed potatoes into a few kilos of harvest

Poor Hokkaido lost a lot of weight, apparently. A little matchstick Hokkaido + Kurils + Sakhalin

"A little ~~black~~ glass vial?"

Yeah, I get tons of random messages from people I don't know. A couple are recruiters who are finding my number on my CV, but most are just "hi sweety, do you have time to talk?" from random numbers all over the world.

No one I know is going to change to those. LINE also has other business stuff built in for interacting with companies (customer service for my massage place, my dentist, etc.) In an ideal world, sure, but it isn't going to happen.

Really? I've gotten almost no spam in the last decade or so I've been using it. The one time I did, I think the account had been hacked.

I have a whatsapp because my dad wanted to be able to call me without international long distance fees. He's called once and I get endless amounts of spam. I'll be seeing him in a couple of weeks, and I can hopefully switch him to LINE (what everyone uses here) and get rid of this app for all and get the last cancer of Meta out of my personal life.

My current phone does not have a jack and my previous one did. I would prefer to have it since there are times I don't need/want noise cancelling and bluetooth, but I have no choice but to run down my headphone batteries more.

I live in Japan and am not at all worried about this. Maybe local seafood prices will drop. Great for us, but sucks for the fishermen and their families.

Now, if we could properly build things and not cheap out on the plans so that this doesn't happen again, that'd be great.... (also, more geothermal!)

I stopped using anything meta years ago. People who want to stay in touch with me and I them continued to stay in touch. If those people will not stay in touch with you, good riddance to them.

a perfect example

I specifically was asking for documentation about "Lack of effort to stop sexual assault in Japan is well documented". The article provided mentions the efforts they are making.

I suppose you could do a basic web search. Meh.

You make the claim, you provide the evidence.

The actual reason I ask is that, if this specific sort of thing exists, it would be good to specifically target and fight it.

This is specifically for train groping, for one, and literally has a whole section on what they are doing about it. I specifically wanted to know what was being cited here:

Lack of effort to stop sexual assault in Japan is well documented.
