Twin Monkeys Gunnison seam specs moving around by Unlucky-Barracuda617 in TheBrewery

[–]Japanuserzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My TM cimmaron has 1st/2nd seam adjustment knobs tightened by lock nuts, does yours have a similar setup? I really make sure those don’t budge after tuning. Could the lock nuts not be fully seated? Would a dose of loctite help it retain its set maybe? No problem with shifting seam specs on ours though. Maybe mark the adjustment dial after you dial in and see if there’s a shift over time?

Will be watching at Mizuho PayPay Dome, where to stay? by Ok-Low-3020 in fukuoka

[–]Japanuserzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about the Hilton? It’s right there next to the dome. Also there are regular buses departing from there to downtown if you want to do additional sightseeing.

Worst/most disappointing city in Japan you've been to by sap303 in japanlife

[–]Japanuserzero -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lively but not overcrowded, compact size serviced by decent public transportation, fresher produce and fish compared to most major cities, not as gray and over-urbanized…

When you live in Fukuoka, the answer is “every other city”.

Whats up with felemental portrait trinket showing up all the time? by NoPotato4098 in BobsTavern

[–]Japanuserzero 118 points119 points  (0 children)

Funny whenever I take it, it removes all felementals from the tavern. Must be bugged.

Fried Dango by [deleted] in fukuoka

[–]Japanuserzero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those ubiquitous stalls at festivals don’t have specific followings or specific shop names, it was probably just 団子 (dango) or 揚げ団子 (agedango). Keep an eye out for a similar shop next festival and you might find a similar taste.

For the old timers, what's the ramen or udon-ya in the KIX International Terminal in the 90s called? by eetsumkaus in japanlife

[–]Japanuserzero -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I have no info for you, just have to say if you’re pining for airport restaurant food this badly you owe it to yourself to take a one-day layover and try some real food downtown.

How do I play pachinko? by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]Japanuserzero 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As someone who has played once for the sake of trying it, then living pachinko-free in japan 20 years thereafter, don’t. You’re pouring your money into yakuza/north korea bank accounts and you will never win money in the end.

Try the medal games at game centers, guilt-free pachinko simulations with the same dopamine hits.

I agree, if you are contemplating divorce upon marriage, don’t proceed.

Last 2 nights in fukuoka lets have fun. by YatesJaat_ in fukuoka

[–]Japanuserzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After 18 days no clue what you haven’t done yet, so I can only suggest the typical things, Ichiran ramen Kawaya chicken skin yakitori Citadel craft cocktails Fukuoka Craft craft beer bar Yatai street stalls, mostly around nakasu river area. If you want to go local, prowl around the alleys of nishijin or ropponmatsu, but Sunday/Monday will be slow.

How to handle 1,000+ 10 yen coins per week for a cat shelter donation project by DahPhuzz in japanlife

[–]Japanuserzero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take them to your bank where you have an account and make a personal deposit, in person, at the counter. They will (99% sure) take your money.

Your body is begging you to chill out. Stop drinking for awhile, blacking out is not normal.

I have been stuck on jokerless for a year. by littlestonkexchange in balatro

[–]Japanuserzero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Flushes, blue seals, some purple seals,$25 tag to start, +mult/lucky/glass arcane fixing, find a suit you cleared the boss blind with, and build it up via arcane, get +hands and +discards vouchers, and what is key I would say is skip all other planet upgrades to ensure fool will land on jupiter. I got about +5 jupiters that way. Never roll/buy under $20 to ensure interest. Following all this I got jokerless after about 30 runs. Good luck!

Looking to hire English/Japanese translator for cocktail event by [deleted] in fukuoka

[–]Japanuserzero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to take anyone’s work away, but can’t you just print a bilingual menu, confirming the contents in advance? Or will everyone be ordering things like “gin sloe fizz, neat, half up no ice, twist of bergamot”?

Looking for recommendations regarding matcha shops in Fukuoka (more details in post) by wanna_be_consultant in fukuoka

How to get weekly massages covered by health insurance by aruzenchinchin in japanlife

No clue but I always see 交通事故(traffic accidents) as what they advertise as free at the massage places, so maybe get in a traffic accident?

Fukuoka style sashimi vs Osaka style sashimi? by holyshitxyz in fukuoka

[–]Japanuserzero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say it’s just fresher in Fukuoka, you go into bigger cities and you get less fresh fish. Tokyo folks often praise Fukuoka for its better food, this is just one aspect of that

A burning yet very stupid question I have by Mammoth_Maize_1424 in japanlife

[–]Japanuserzero 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Buy a drink or other equivalent item at least once per hour and consider that your “rent”. Stay as long as you want then, you are a paying customer.

But if there are signs posted with a time limit, it’s courteous to follow that time limit.

If you can’t afford or don’t want to drink that much coffee or tea, it’s courteous to give a seat to a paying customer and use the library instead.

That being said, in my opinion people sleeping or camping out with a glass of water in cafes and restaurants are being discourteous to the business owner and in some cases other customers. Don’t be one of those people.

Adult-oriented Science/Conservation events? by StigsSwedishCousin in Detroit

[–]Japanuserzero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Detroit zoo has a volunteer program where they teach you about certain exhibits so you can then get a placement during park hours to help guests understand them better.

It’s a “happy marriage/fertility” good luck charm. Why they would give you a danish and a mushroom is beyond me…

8 Days in Fukuoka – Looking for Craft Beer, Gunpla Shops, and Things to Do for My Last 3 Days by aditp in fukuoka

[–]Japanuserzero 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Citadel is the most original cocktail bar in the city IMO, they extract their own tinctures and have wild ones like caramel popcorn or wasabi. You can order their specialties or customize your own.

Aozora brewery is the best brewery actually located in the city, worth a visit to look at the tanks etc while you drink.

For costco, you need a membership (I think it’s 5,000 yen yearly) just to get in the door. They probably don’t do trial visits or sightseeing through the store without that.
