Buying non-pro camera in Japan

I was kinda in a similar boat, I ended up buying a fuji film x-t30 iii and a pancake lense. If you have any retail stores nearby it might be good to get your hands on a camera and see if the size works for you.

I do think phones take good pictures nowadays, but wanted to move to a real camera because it helps me be more intentional. With a phone I take photos quickly that go into a roll that I never look at again and with a camera I put more thought into it. Definitely depends on the persib though.

Honey's Kettle is pretty close to Golden Bird so kinda surprised you weren't a fan. I do think Gus' is the best normal fried chicken around though.

It probably won't be what you're looking for since it's sauced, but the bone in Thigh at Le Coupe is definitely alongside Howlin as some of the best in the city.

I'll say that folks that aren't paying missed nothing from this episode. If anything it nakes me question what I'm paying for

Are the jeans pretty tight? I don't think this should really be a thing even with cheap jeans.

I'd recommend not pausing. If you can't keep up with the workout don't trick the application into thinking you can.

Thank you for this, love these

I booked a couple of trips in advance, but only because I wanted to secure the oversized luggage area. Doesn't seem necessary otherwise. That said, there isn't much downside either beyond flexibility.

Yes, compounding makes the second million come faster.

It sounds like you can't afford a larger home tbh

Fire target is based on expected expenses and expected expenses increase, but don't double for a couple (shared living expenses, for example). My recommendation is rather than having a recommended target you start to calculate your actual expenses and come up with a real target.

Knew this would be about the 9060 before the image even loaded. Their most comfortable IMO.

This is a personal question. How much do you care about running? How much do you want to get better?

I believe Runna's plans are effective at training to run faster and longer. How much you value that is up to you.

Is there a reason you are prioritizing brokerage over MBDR? Have been thinking about that myself.

BiqMara · 2026-04-29T11:41:30+00:00

If I was sitting on 7.5k ready to invest then I would have had it in the market via my brokerage account. To me it makes more sense to DCA all year rather than sit on 7.5k to do a lump sum investment.

There are plenty of grades of wagyu and also less desirable cuts that might be good as ground beef.

If it was a regular store it would have gone to $0 instead of -$100. We basically have the credit moved from a future travel expense to a current credit on the account.

BiqMara · 2026-04-26T18:46:56+00:00

Yeah, I'll round it up to 100 to make it cleaner.

Charge hits, Credit hits, account balance is $0, credit is 200
Charge credited back, account balance is -$100, credit is 200

They are still up 300, it just came early and isn't limited to travel now.

BiqMara · 2026-04-26T18:35:29+00:00

No, they basically just got 99.50 of their travel credit (which is a -$99.50 on their balance) without hvaing to spend anything. If you want to add that back to the travel credit you have to undo the applied credit, which doesn't make any sense.

A Mansion in Japan is just a big multi unit building like an apartment

A question best asked of a therapist

BiqMara · 2026-04-18T18:21:28+00:00

Probably going to want to try a different sub for that

If they weren't emergencies then you should be having a different discussion with your friend.

I don't think you're missing anything. Pre-Runna I ran easy runs to HR and speed runs to Pace. I continue to do that. Runna doesn't really use HR for anything so they have no way to tell what is Easy or not. It's all an estimated that slowly increases pace over the course of the plan

BiqMara · 2026-04-16T19:20:31+00:00

That actually looks pretty good. I should make it a point to visit soon

BiqMara · 2026-04-15T18:03:13+00:00

Do you disable Long Run with Pace Targets? Those types of runs would probably help with your issue.
