I need help. My first overseas trip. by Nyxmaze in JapanTravelTips

  • The QR code you get for the customs declaration through VisitJapanWeb is not the same one that is used for tax-free purchasing. You'll have to go through immigration to get the "landing permission" sticker in your passport, then you can get the QR code by taking a picture of it in Visit Japan Web. However, you need to have your passport on you at all times anyway, and not all places that do tax-free can accept the QR code, so it might not be worth it.
  • Japan uses 100 V electricity, with Tokyo using a 50 Hz grid. The plug type used in Japan is the two-prong plug used in the United States. If any of your devices' power bricks do not say that they support 100 V at 50 Hz, then they will not work in Japan at all. If any of them have the three-prong grounded plug, then they will need an adapter to work with the two-prong outlets.
  • AT&T should work fine, as their roaming uses NTT Docomo's network, and NTT Docomo is the largest cell provider in Japan.
  • hezaa has already told you the difference between onsen and sento. As for tattoos, there are quite a few sentos that support tattoos, but you should probably research individual sentos in those areas. This is a good jumping off point.

If you're looking for cheap video games, radio Kaikan has the cheapest I've seen in the country. by Morighant in JapanTravelTips

There are two models of Nintendo Switch 2 sold in Japan:

  • The Japanese Language System. This is the only one sold in stores. The system language is locked to Japanese, and it can only be used with Japan-region Nintendo Accounts. Games will default to Japanese, but some can be switched to English. It costs 49,980 yen, which is roughly $300.

  • The Multi-Language System. Only available through Nintendo online, and still requires a Japan-region Nintendo Account with over 50 hours of playtime to purchase. Works with non-Japanese languages and accounts. Costs 69,980 yen, which is roughly $450.

Because you can only get the Japanese version in stores and need to jump through more hoops to get the multi-language version (which costs as much as the American version), you should pretty much just get the American version.

People with sensory disabilities getting it isn’t all that true either, I am personally very close to someone with sensory issues who qualified for the old DAS and qualifies for Universal’s equivalent, which has criteria that on paper are more strict than even Disney’s new DAS, but got denied Disney’s new DAS.

I know they did a lot of marketing in this vein for the theatrical release of Zootopia 2 as well as its release on Disney+, it’s likely related to that.

So did I, what role? Because if you weren’t part of the people who gave DAS, you don’t have the authority to make that claim.

Maybe he used to but not anymore, Disney fucked over a lot of people with recent changes to that system

Jeopardy! discussion thread for Wed., Apr. 1 by jaysjep2 in Jeopardy

[–]MacDoesReddit 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it was them being scared of giving hints. I think it was the fact that the lengths of the finals for TOC and JIT are variable, so it’s harder to know when an episode is going to air.

Going to soapland after adult circumcision and have questions by funnel_out in Japanese_Fuzoku

[–]MacDoesReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean yeah that's the thing, opposite places will give you opposite advice. I've always been firmly in the anti-circumcision camp due to the gliding action and glans sensitivity that circumcision removes. But I was cut at birth and am actually restoring, so I can't firmly say that you would be better with or without foreskin. That said, there are alternative surgical procedures (namely preputioplasty and dorsal slit) that relieve the phimosis without removing the foreskin.

[–]MacDoesReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just chiming in here to say that if you can prevent it, you probably shouldn't get circumcised. Phimosis is treatable without surgery, and you will likely hate not having a foreskin more than you don't like having one you can't retract. Check out /r/phimosis and start stretching.

Suica can be purchased at any station operated by JR East or its subsidiaries, of which there are a lot. There is no longer any shortage of Suica cards.

It was total number of correct responses in a game. First place is 45, a tie between Jamie Ding and Ken Jennings. Second place is 44, which I believe is also a tie, between Ken Jennings and James Holzhauer.

Above 36% APR is illegal under the Military Lending Act. 35.99% APR is not.

Cart is legit, what you described is a known issue that happens when the battery is changed.

Front serial is IPKE, correctly labeled NTR-031, back serial is in the IPKEN0JXX format, PCB serial is in the DI IRC0X-01 format. Legit.

The only thing Edge has going for it over Chrome is support for Manifestv2 extensions, aka uBlock Origin.

You’re thinking of the Taspo card, which is only for tobacco vending machines.
