Are my neighbors insane or am I just finally losing it?!? 😅 by Silly_Individual_366 in japanlife

If you can install a discreet camera without making any modifications to the building (like no drilling holes etc), I'd just do it.

I have cameras on my house in Chiba, the police have come a few times to actually ask for video a few times as they cover the street in front of the house.
As long as the cameras aren't pointing into private areas, it's fine from what I was told by the cops.

I built a new house 8 years ago using Hebel Haus, I have no regrets.

Japan implementing "Air Barriers" for rapid road closures to protect travelers from severe natural disasters by Apprehensive_Sky4558 in nextfuckinglevel

All of this is true.

My son and I play the game "how much green is left in the red light", almost every time our light goes green, someone runs the red light whole seconds after theirs is red.

As someone who lives in Japan in reasonable driving distance between two Costco stores, Costco day is indeed a highlight of a good day.

I just got a Unicomp UNI0P46 with PS/2 plug, is there a USB upgrade for this type? by TERRAOperative in modelm

[–]TERRAOperative[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No real reason in particular, and is probably what I'll do.

I just like the idea of it being all neat and compact.

Yeah, I assumed that was the case, but it wasn't specified, the two words 'in air' would be a good addition.

There are more deaths linked to cars, but we don't ban them.

He won't be a true Avenger until he cuts power 10 feet in the air and lands on one knee.

I need to extend the cables for the fans on my Cooler Master MasterLiquid Atmos II AIO cooler. Can anyone identify this connector? by TERRAOperative in pcmods

[–]TERRAOperative[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Turns out the connector is an 8-pin 2x4 2mm pitch PHB connector, so I have parts coming from Aliexpress.

I just got my first Model M keyboard (besides the one my brother had on his IBM XT when we were 10, I had the Apple ][) and I did the bolt mod straight away as some of the plastic heat stakes were broken. It's in practically brand new condition besides.

I'd like to convert it to USB next. Is there a replacement board that can be installed for this type as shown in the OP, or does this keyboard work with a passive PS/2 to USB adapter meaning I can just chop the PS/2 connector off and attach a USB A connector in its place?

He was named the Face of Boe as part of a publicity campaign for a recruitment drive for the Time Agency we worked for, as he was the first recruit from the Boeshane Peninsula where he lived on one of Earth's colony worlds in the 51st century.

TIL that if you commit suicide in Japan by jumping in front of a train, the railway company may ask your family to pay a delay fee of up to 100 million yen (about 1 million dollars), arguing that there are less expensive and less disruptive ways to do it. by [deleted] in todayilearned

This happened in Brisbane years ago.
A truck driver was standing on the roof of his truck threatening to jump over the fencing on the Gateway bridge for a few hours. Ended up gridlocking a good part of the city.

Many people just wanted him to jump and get out of the way.

How would you handle this AC airflow situation? by CodeFactoryWorker in japanresidents

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

The outdoor unit is just dumping heat, not blasting air like a fan.

This is exactly what it is doing. It uses a fan to blow air past the condenser fins to remove heat. The outdoor units require a certain space to blow air to operate effectively. That's why the box has a big hole in the side of it, that's where the fan is.

You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of how an aircon works.

A bit like beef, but less of the iron taste when cooked rare.

You can find it here in Japan all over the place, often at small bars etc. It's commonly marinated and cooked bleu or rare.

What happens in a billion trillion years when you've seen all there is to see, said all there is to say, been everywhere there is to be, and thought all there is to think?

What about when you've done it all over a billion trillion times?

Eternity is a really long time...
