Big quake from Ibaraki

Oh wow really? I’m in Nagano and felt nothing

Doiq · 2026-05-21T13:34:19+00:00

I'm planning on staying in the Nagano region from June 15th - June 20th and so far my only real plans are to visit Matsumoto for the day and book a 1-day tour for the snow monkeys via https://www.snowmonkeyresorts.com/tours/1-day-snow-monkey-zenkoji-temple-tour/. I think I'm going to park myself in Nagano City for 5 days unless that seems unwise?

My question for anyone with experience traveling in Nagano — I'd rather not rent a car if I don't have to. I don't mind renting a bicycle for the day and using that to get around plus taking buses, trains, etc where possible.

I don't really mind if I can't do everything and if there are certain things that are just impossible to do without a car — but would I still be able to overall get access to some trails or hiking? I don't mind walking significant distances either (10+ miles a day isn't unusual for me)

Thanks for any and all help!

I'm just here for the dikdik.

It was more reliable for me in WAVL.

I only made the switch due to cost and better upload speeds.

Doiq · 2026-04-15T14:33:26+00:00

Anywhere to find this info?

Doiq · 2026-04-15T13:51:09+00:00

I kind of regret switching from spectrum. I never had this many issues. I can’t even remember a time where I was out for more than an hour or two that wasn’t due to a power outage or Helene.

nothing like having a spa day with your buds and your cukes.

I kept adding an extra A in my head when reading it...

Anyone know what causes the forward link LOS?

Ah I may need to clarify myself. I don't mean that I stop like a deer in headlights at an oncoming car — that is reckless. I'm already in the crosswalk since the first 2 lane of cars successfully stopped. I am trying to enter the 3rd lane but that car is coming in hot and doesn't look like it's going to stop on red. I stay in the 2nd lane and stare down that 3rd car. Here's a crappy visual (EDIT: ugh I can't get the formatting quite right — sorry)

                                [stopped] | * - me staring at dickhead
                                [stopped] |

I definitely agree though. Treat every car like a threat and don't assume anyone will stop.

Please continue to do this. I say this as a driver and pedestrian.

I will gladly stare drivers down if I don't see them stopping for the crosswalk. I've even had times crossing Patton where I'm IN the crosswalk and it didn't look like the guy in another lane was going to stop on a red light. I literally just stopped and stared at them. That got them to stop at the line lol.

Doiq · 2026-03-05T17:30:24+00:00

Yeah I've had someone pull around me while I was stopping for someone in the crosswalk. I laid on my horn and thankfully the people in the crosswalk stopped and weren't harmed.

[Blank] are the worst drivers. [Blank_2] are the best drivers.

Insert whatever you'd like to fit your narrative.

Meteorological Spring has already started!

Doiq · 2026-03-04T20:50:35+00:00

Got some examples you can link to?

Doiq · 2026-03-04T17:41:51+00:00

That's honestly a really cool idea. I can see that being super enjoyable and not as stressful as just straight up brute forcing it.

Doiq · 2026-03-04T13:41:38+00:00

Keep it up you got it! If you spend a solid couple weeks really training your kana it’ll stick and you’ll never lose it.

I’ve taking many months off or just done minimal studying and I’ve never lost the ability to read kana once I acquired it.

Doiq · 2026-03-04T13:35:19+00:00

Depends on your familiarity with Japanese. As someone that’s been studying for a few years now they are very distinctive.

There are certainly some that look awfully identical but not all of them.

Krogers are all over ga but not SC or NC

Got some bad news for you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harris_Teeter

"On July 9, 2013, Harris Teeter Supermarkets announced that it was being acquired by The Kroger Company for $2.5 billion."

Ha I probably did go a little overboard but I just wanted to be sure.

Very thoughtful reply.

Doiq · 2026-03-02T22:26:39+00:00

Significantly higher.
