People didn’t find what they wanted and/or went back to what was stable and familiar. I still am avoiding using reddit for anything except the subs related to people living in Japan (the community didn’t move over; a couple did but there were basically no posts very quickly) and when it shows up in some search result and nothing else has worked.

The existing rail network is already pretty jammed on a lot of lines. Cargo does run at night (mostly) on other rail lines, but night is when maintenance is also done (we don’t really have any 24-hour trains here except on special occasions and I think none of those even since corona). The safety record here does come with a cost in that sense; the checks, maintenance, and construction all occur at night with freight running around that.

If they are adding this in the middle of the expressways, the land is already acquired. It probably takes less infrastructure to do this than putting in rails would involved. I also doubt it would be to code for rails since there needs to be room to get passengers off in the case of emergency, etc. Zooming in on 35.698190871019335, 139.75230458261458 in Tokyo does show there isn’t even really any room between lanes, though, and it’s not different up where I live a few hundred KM north so I’m not exactly sure what the play is. All expressways are paid today and the tolls were supposed to go away eventually, but they never will if the construction never ends (and it never ends).

I think it does have some cargo space, but not enough to matter in any significant way. IIRC it’s mostly just mail and parcels, but I might be mis-remembering.

It’s the verb meaning to be wrong, so, contextually, I think the person made the classic l/r switch mistake, saw the reaction, and asked if what they wrote was incorrect.

iirc, they did use a damaged wheel to try to figure out a situation where a rover was stuck, though I don’t remember any details about it.

I don’t use salt but rather soy sauce and/or fish sauce which is salt + umami. Smoked paprika also adds a nice smokiness if you’re not using any kind of smoked chilis.

Cincy-style chili has cinnamon among other things, so that makes sense. I accidentally grabbed the wrong spice jar and dumped cinnamon directly into my non-Cincy-style chili and it still came out pretty decent.

Of course honey is sugar. My point was that, regardless of the arrangement of molecules, I basically never use any sweetener

But don’t worry; well make you buy those legacy games in the shop again because fuck you pay me for the 4th time for a game from the 80s/90s. ~ abe Nintendo, probably

I used chantix back in the day, but it also required me basically not leaving the house for a month to really get there. When and where I quit for the first time (I would later start dating a smoker and relapse, then quit again), smoking was still allowed indoors and I had a huge association with drinking and smoking. Same for certain other places and situations. I basically had to do everything I could to avoid those. It got easier with time.

I think he just walks rather than being shipped.

I disagree, but I’m allergic to grass. However, if you like it, there should be no reason to pretend you don’t.

Add me to the team that at least almost never adds sugar to any pasta sauce. In very rare occasions, I might add a tiny bit of honey, but I can’t remember the last time I did that.

I didn’t have a car for a few years and the one I had was 2003 (with a slight stint from a similarly-aged car during a couple-month time I had to drive). I now have a car again and I HATE that my heat/air and such are all flat against the panel (not a touch screen, though). I literally can’t adjust anything without looking in my current car. Thankfully, I avoid driving it whenever possible.

I live on the ENEstern cost of the main island of Japan and the rain this year was crazy due in no small part to typhoons (and their remanents) either heading up the east (pacific) coast or crossing over from the west coast.

LORD vs Lord does hold some distinction in the source material. IIRC LORD is for uses of the divine name whereas the other ones are not. But then you have the whole, El, Elohim, tetragrammaton, god, lord, etc. mess with them probably not historically referring to the same entity to begin with, but that whole book is a mess.

Expected treasure, but safe contained a live panther; would not buy again.

I hate to be a killjoy, but it’ll clearly be a single deposit layer dated to on or after the latest date-able item. The fill will all be the same and its own distinct layer against the rest of the area. If you have a long enough time to keep it open, want to dig more, and have different fills, you might be able to accomplish something, but the different fill materials would likely have no real match in the surrounding still making it obvious.

Mid-40s: it feels fine. It both complicates and un-complicates various things for later in life, but that’s life.

I do like kids, but never wanted my own (at least biologically; I never fully ruled out adoption). We have nieces and nephews we can spoil instead of our own, heh.

Oh, I wasn’t even thinking about places that changed time; I thought it was something just related to winter itself, hence the confusion. Thanks!
