That's unfortunate, especially for kids who may not be allowed to go other places but could use the vending machine in a station (well, if idiots weren't buying them all, anyway).

I still occasionally check a handful of communities related to legal/visa/tax/business in Japan. We tried to get people to move over here, but they didn't and, without the institutional knowledge of long-timers, just starting a community doesn't accomplish much.

I have no idea. I just saw it brought up in a local discussion post. I have zero interest in pokemon so haven't bought anything myself.

Which will do no good against the people lining up at the vending machines in stations and such, waiting for them to be filled, and then buying most/all of their stock.

I'm an overseas voter in a horribly- (and illegally-)gerymandered mess of a state that has only gone redder as I've gotten older. We'll have to see what happens. Not that I have the money or resources to do anything about it from the opposite side of the world.

Looks great! I make the Japanese version somewhat frequently and always up the spice level and use 四川豆板醬

If you really miss it, you can buy a cartridge gas stove and just use that for that one application. I haven't missed it nearly enough to bother busting it out, though.

I used to swear by gas and never wanted to change. Moved to a place with 200v induction and haven't looked back. I have a gas cartridge stove for disaster prep reasons, but I could also pull it out if I really wanted to blast something in a wok or the like (and could do that outside).

I'm not paying for a game that doesn't allow changing difficulty if I want/need. I work two jobs and have to do most home cleaning and maintenance. I used to game competitively back in the early 2000s, but I don't have time for that shit nor gatekeeping.

More like a schwa in Norwegian. I'm not sure about Danish.

It's only 22.2 where I am, but I'm north and it's raining. Not looking forward to this summer.

I was just giving a possible reason why there's silence. I do think that certain information on public figures and their ability to do their jobs should be public and handled accordingly.
