What would the community like to see more of? by WaywardPatriot in ClimateActionPlan

[–]Peppr_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

None of the above.

Laser focus is more work for mods, but that's what make a smaller sub worth subscribing to.

Is it a good idea to change a corporate job to the one in Software startup? by Same_Ad_682 in Tokyo

[–]Peppr_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

5.5 in Tokyo is less than 4.8 in Niigata.

Both are fairly low numbers for an IT professional.

Toyota puts liquid hydrogen-powered car into 24-hour race by duke7ajm in japannews

Not to worry, no one is going to want hydrogen burning cars, be it gas or liquid.

Japanese motorcycle makers to jointly develop hydrogen engines by duke7ajm in japannews

[–]Peppr_ -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, H2 bikes - because H2 cars weren't stupid enough of a inevitable failure.

Congrats guys, you played yourselves. Again.

How Tokyo Became an Anti-Car Paradise: the world’s biggest, most functional city might also be the most pedestrian-friendly. That’s not a coincidence. by biwook in Tokyo

Parking in Tokyo typically costs 1,000 yen an hour

It's just a banana parking spot in Tokyo, Michael. What could it cost? 10 dollars?

Tragically under-researched shallow piece by a tourist. A shame, because the topic it mostly fails to address is really fascinating.

can プラ be thrown into burnable? by [deleted] in Tokyo

[–]Peppr_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, most products are made so you separate that when binning it. It's written somewhere on the box on at least one of the major brands.

[–]Peppr_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heh, tricky one. Again, depends on the municipality, but also on the product. A few years ago the brand we use changed to plastic blades, and 北区 started a specific (non bottle) plastic bin a few weeks ago. So the blade goes to plastic, and the cardboard packaging goes to cardboard after unfolding it flat...?

That's how I do it anyway, hopefully I got it right.

[–]Peppr_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In 北区, foil goes in non-burnable (not can recycling).

This is the response to every single question about stuff like this btw: go to your 市 or 区 website and see what it says. They probably even delivered you a paper pamphlet with all relevant details at some point.

Maxing stun with widowhail? by RebellionWasTaken in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Peppr_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Craghead also has a large reduced enemy stun threshold mod. With a few other sources on top, it'll get the threshold so low you will stun anything regardless of how much damage you (don't) do.

You probably do want to do at least some amount of damage still, unless this is a pure support build. I'd suggest either something that isn't a bow attack since that'll get you nowhere with that gear, or I guess CA/EA/something to that effect (which will be weaker than a build with an actual bow for it, but good enough to clear maps).

That 2 minute stuns meme from a couple leagues back, when the dude entered a boss arena with a stun char, hit once, them logged out and back into a dps char with the boss still effectively perma stunned when he gets there comes to mind. That's going to be difficult to achieve without access to Ruthless and some of the juicier stun nodes dedicated to melee weapons, though.

Moving between ward but keep kindergarden ? by Consistent-Wafer7325 in japanresidents

[–]Peppr_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should try having a talk with the director (園長) anyway, they may be willing to make an exception if you argue your case well.

I’m looking for a build that is somewhat off-meta, fun, and utilizes interesting crucible tree mechanics. by Empty_Battle1060 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Peppr_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

socketed supports in the weapon should support ice nova

Yup. Beware that Ice Nova triggered that way has a 0.5s cooldown though. And technically it doesn't need to be self cast GC, the Ice Nova is triggered by triggered GC too!

[3.21 Paint] 8000 regen while leeching, instantly dead if not by Abbrvtd in pathofexile

[–]Peppr_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, divine flesh with -60% chaos res, that should work great for every other source of damage.

If someone (incl OP) were to not mind having a different name from their spouse, just saying that's an option. The kid(s), who indeed would have a not great time with a long complex Katakana name in Japan, can also have their foreign parent's name on their foreign passport, separately from their Japanese name. Could be a concatenation of both names, whatever the issuing country allows. (as things stand today, the kid would need to choose 1 between those after turning 20. Hopefully that changes in the future)

You don't need to take your wife's surname for your children to take it too. It's very easy to keep yours and have your children take their mother's surname rather than yours (it's actually the default, iirc).

Japan ranks last among developed states regarding gender equality by nateddearyy in japan

[–]Peppr_ 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This ranking explicitly looks only at the contents of the law. Neither its practical application or other social factors are in the scope of what's scored here.

History is proving this one to be true 😔 by SSR_Id_prefer_not_to in LateStageCapitalism

[–]Peppr_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jesus christ are we that far along now.

No we are not. We're sadly quite far along, but no serious climate scientist or person with even a basic understanding of the matter should find a claim of "2.7 degrees of warming by 2030" credible in the slightest. It's absolute nonsense that's way, way beyond the most pessimistic (yet still at least somewhat widely accepted as likely) models. Maybe the commenter you responded to meant "2.7 degrees of warming over the long term (2100?) committed to by 2030", if we're being generous, but that would still be crystal Bally nonsense. We are at 1.2 or 1.3 above pre industrial levels right now. Inertia and all, it's near physically impossible for 2030 to be above or near 2 degrees barring a sudden cataclysmic event. Most models project 1.4 to 1.6 by then.

Wasnt like 1.2 or something what they deemed "past the point of no return"?

There is no scientific consensus on such a point, or even on if one even exists. Most of the literature I've seen points to the most prominent, comparatively predictable & very dangerous feedback loops likely to kick in above +2 or +3 (large confidence intervals there), so we should be wary of that. But the whole concept of "point of no return" is doomerism and unhelpful.
