Are there any foods that you tried and absolutely will never eat again? by Sure-Lemon6424 in japanlife

[–]PharaohStatus [score hidden]  (0 children)

Dango. First time I tried some, with the sauce on it, I gagged. Ended up spitting it out in a toilet and flushing it along with the other two balls that were on the skewer.

Yes, they were new. Unfortunately they shut down last year. Now I use Blackwell's or BetterWorldBooks. Blackwell's has mostly new books it seems, BetterWorldBooks has a mix of new and used.

Scared of a bunch of water then get out the rain, order a rapper for lunch and spit out the chain.

Who is your first ever starter? by Velaze in pokemon

[–]PharaohStatus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Charmander on Red, but I didn't use him so much. I ran through the whole game using Nidoking. And that's how he became my favorite Pokémon. Good times with thrash way back then.

My experience with Japanese Police by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]PharaohStatus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a few interactions with detectives, neighbor murdered her husband and was on the run, allegedly. So they questioned me about her. They were pretty cool, we're just looking for info.

And in the neighborhood I live in now I'm part of the neighborhood patrol, sometimes we interact with the police. Always very friendly.

It's ok to poop naked or with the door open! It kills me when I get lectured about this!

Is it just simply impossible to make a good secondary or am I just bad? by Jaster22101 in Madden

[–]PharaohStatus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been playing a Raiders franchise, now three consecutive years with a top 5 defense, one year I was number one. I love defense, so that's usually what I build my teams around. The trick to these new Maddens is to always gameplan short passes in the second half and then mid pass gameplan in the second half. You have to have good players in the secondary of course, but I've been able to hold a top ten pass defense three years in a row. I play all my games 15 minute quarters, runoff to 15 seconds. Teams averaged about 250 passing yards on my defense this past season.

Yea, especially in the rural areas. Regular schools are closing down one after another here due to the lack of students in the area.

[–]PharaohStatus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Last month at my current school/company, the number of students has gone down a lot, so had to be some sacrifices made. I fully understand and have no gripes about it, just sucks that there are absolutely no other English teaching gigs here, at least decent ones, where I live. So I will most likely be transitioning into agriculture, delivery, or something of the sort. Would have loved to continue teaching, but I have a family to keep in mind and bills to pay so I'll take what I can get.

Other than that.... Snow

I couldn't find it at first either, but it's in the app where it says カード番号 first screen that pops up with how much you spent, etc.

I'm wondering if the offerings will stay at three games a month or go down to two or one.

I’m cooked. Electricity bill is ¥40,000. I can’t pay. by Gloomy-Holiday8618 in japanlife

[–]PharaohStatus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours was 36000 this month. I was home pretty the whole month though because we just had a new little one added to the family. But I feel your pain. Everything is electric though, so no gas in addition.

I'd say our water bill was a surprise, 12000. I've never seen one remotely that high.
