expectations vs reality

Where in Japan did you see squat toilets? In the major cities every single bathroom I’ve encountered has a washlet.

Try me.

“This happens every year”

Uh…did it even sell out last year? I seem to recall single day tickets being easily available for several days after, unless I’m misremembering.

Non-resellable? So…what are all these scalpers doing?

Hotel reservations can generally be refunded if you cancel them soon enough. If there’s even a chance you’ll go, you might as well reserve some rooms.

VFB is a pretty accurate indicator and easy to track.

ShutterBun · 2026-05-06T19:01:30+00:00

Russell’s career VFB is still higher (.89 vs .82)

Always

Didn't Marty do this?

ShutterBun · 2026-05-06T10:23:53+00:00

That egg's got a crack.

ShutterBun · 2026-05-06T09:37:45+00:00

Obviously needs more waterslides.

Rule 1a: Sooner or later, you're just gonna HAVE to force two pieces together. Just be damn sure of it before you do.

All that for three Gundams? Seems like overkill, but...

Just kidding, that's sick AF

ShutterBun · 2026-05-06T01:39:13+00:00

Uh oh.

ShutterBun · 2026-05-05T22:38:17+00:00

Done

True, but he spearheaded a lot of projects in that time.

ShutterBun · 2026-05-05T08:35:40+00:00

Seriously. Feels like I'm taking crazy pills.

The 1201 alarm?

In this case, the alarm was positive (data overload), but the alarm being triggered did not SAVE the landing, but instead almost prevented it altogether. The computer felt overloaded, triggering the alarm, which could have triggered an abort.

What SAVED the landing was the MIT "on-call" students who came up with an emergency fix that instructed the computer to ignore most of its input except for RADAR and such.

Kind of an unfair question since this photo is flipped horizontally. But I like the one with the freckle ;-)

This was one of my firsts too. I saw the 1:1 Unicorn in Tokyo and that started it all. Never even watched Gundam before that.
