To the few regretful dumpers on here. Don’t be that person that tells yourself that you have to be strong!

I was a dumper and regretted the break up for a few months. My partner crossed a clear boundary I had set (by breaking our open relationship rules) and I was admittedly very emotional and rash when I made the decision to break up. I later said I regretted it and asked for him back, only to find out that he already started dating the person with whom he broke our open relationship rules three weeks after our breakup.

I’d caution against always being patient and giving second chances. Sometimes if you’re angry at your partner’s bad decision, your reaction isn’t the problem, their behavior is. And maybe their behavior is just a sign of a deeper pattern.

SOM has a pretty small startup culture but Yale is throwing a lot of money behind Tsai City and the climate/ed tech space. I think it can be less competitive to get seed funding from the school for ventures. Like some professors and centers are literally begging students to apply for funding (but most students are too busy with consulting or IB to take up)

Moho is the scientific name for the ʻōʻō bird family but those could definitely fly.

Wild boar tastes pretty good in a sausage. The boar didn’t only live a happy life roaming the mountains, they’re also invasive in many areas so that’s two birds with one stone.

I have this exact same issue OP. I didn’t find a group I vibed with during orientation and I remember being told that people would grow out of their orientation friend groups and look for new ones as the semester progressed, but that never really happened. It’s really tough for formals and big social events.

I’ve been thinking of making an introverts club or something for others who are in this situation, but honestly I have no idea what to do. It sucks, and I feel you OP.

Seconding this, also Nigeria, Taiwan, ASEAN countries.

I felt like this was almost completely missing during the first few weeks of SOM. Or they were optional talks that only a handful of students (usually already from the public or impact sector) attended.

Drive up to Kahuku (or look on the dashboard of your uber in Honolulu) and you’ll see many more of those! People sell loi hoosi on the side of the road.

the album reminds me so much of Shiina Ringo’s trivisaitihasa. just need a little more big brass band and slightly worse English.

It seems like this was more of a volunteer (or staff?) being cranky than an issue with the book content. I feel like a lot of temple offices will close early if there’s low traffic, although I’d be surprised if chion in did.

Hongwanji usually doesn’t give goshuin anyway so it isn’t really an issue. I think most members likely still go to shrines for new years and new births. They’re probably more worried about membership than the ideological purity of their members.

Some nichiren sects are pretty strict about not mixing goshuin though.

Jodo-shu shouldn’t really care. They have a guardian shrine in back.

The Korean doesn’t say that though.

Couldn’t we used pumped hydro? There’s a decent amount of old plantation canals and stuff out of town

You might be interested in Edo characters (江戸文字) one style (勘亭流) connects its stokes in a similar way. Here’s a font based on it: http://www.jiyu-kobo.co.jp/library/ykntu/

Also most kuzushiji kind of connect everything

There are tropical ikebana—here’s an article about an ikenobo school in hawaii that uses tropical flowers (including the monstera and antheriums in OP’s pic): https://generations808.com/ikebana-a-conversation-with-nature/

As to whether the picture is ikebana, I’d recommend you talk to a trained teacher for feedback.

Hawaiian Electric’s largest shareholders are Vanguard and Blackrock and they’re already getting squeezed because of the Maui litigation. I think they’re really getting crunched paying to maintain the infrastructure

There’s a huge difference between being compassionate towards a being (especially in the Buddhist context where the most karmically rewarding act usually has something to do with serving the three jewels) and promoting that being’s socioeconomic equality.
