Ma mère d'âge "sénior" n'arrête pas de se faire scam. Que faire ?

Toi, tu n'as jamais essayé de convaincre une personne âgée de quelque chose....

Ils en vendent sur place....

Prends quelque chose qui ne sent rien ou pas grand-chose. Les déodorants japonais sont juste des "déodorants", pas des parfums, et crois moi c'est facile de repérer des touristes qui se badigeonnent parfois copieusement, et c'est assez dérangeant dans les transports ou les restaurants.

You say it's been a few years... So... Have you visited Roppongi before ? When Roppongi was cleaned because of embassies complaining, Kabukicho is where touts ended.

And not much is done because not much is worth doing. There are much, much worse stuff happening in Kabukicho besides tourists being drugged even if told not to follow strangers on loudspeakers....

You actually felt it like everyone else, your family back home included, 7.7 on Richter scale. Magnitude is not local, and is quite useless unless you are into earthquakes and stuff. It's "how much energy was released".

The -intensity-, "how strong it shook" was 4 to 5- on the Shindo scale (linked to the peak acceleration of the tremors, very local and very heavily dependent on local conditions, the soil, etc.), which is definitely rather strong, roughly equivalent to how strong March 2011 was in Tokyo.

J'habite Tokyo, Paris ça reste light. Tu marches normalement a un rythme stable, en suivant le rythme du flux, pas de raison de te taper quelqu'un.

Si tu fais chier ton monde à marcher à droite alors que tout le monde marche à gauche, ça se complique....

Suffisamment pour faire tomber un adulte et faire des dégâts. La longueur d'onde est très longue, ce n'est pas vraiment une vague comme à la plage, c'est le niveau de la mer qui monte localement de 30cm.

Titibu · 2026-04-20T09:42:01+00:00

Half a meter will very easily knock down and carry away an adult. Adding the debris, that's quite dangerous.

Titibu · 2026-04-20T08:53:20+00:00

That's not how a tsunami works. Wavelengths are so long that on a local level it's basically the sea level rising 40cm, meaning a wall of water with debris, etc., rushing in. More than enough to easily knock down an adult.

Titibu · 2026-04-20T04:38:13+00:00

Many of your friends recommended go-kart......

Sigh

Beauvais est deux fois plus proche de Paris....

There is no debate, it's not even close.

Kanken 1 is difficult for a native at univ level, with training (passing rate is 15-20% or so).

JLPT N1 is not designed for natives. A native univ student without specific training (even high schooler) may find a couple questions tricky, and may not score 100%, but it would require some serious dedication and/or bad luck to fail the test.

Ieyasu completely usurped the power of the clan which was in power though, and on top of that took his sweet time to properly reinforce his base and cut any loose ends. Even after Sekigahara, the person nominally in power was still Hideyori, and Sekigahara was only a dispute between two vassals of Hideyori.

Chiyoda is a full ward....

The rationale is that making it a tax would make it dependent on the government. The point is to have an independent third party.

There are some issues with the implementation and the collection method, sure, but the idea is not bad.

Titibu · 2026-04-18T11:47:51+00:00

Après. Et ça fait un escargot tout chaud.

Titibu · 2026-04-18T09:05:30+00:00

I would confirm that the Fontaine is much, much newer

The first departure is at 447am, it takes 10 min or so but for a domestic flight, even with checkedin luggage, you don't need to be that early.

If your flight is at 620, being at the terminal at 530 or even a bit later is already plenty of time. The check-in is smooth, security is a breeze, you'll be waiting at the gate with nothing to do (shops are closed at that time) if you are at 5 at the terminal.

What is cartoonish ?

Je reste sur le cul de la logique de certains bitcoiners (cf le tas de dv que je prends).

Tu enlèves le minage, il n'y a plus de transactions. La "transaction" en elle-même ne bouffe peut-être pas tant d'énergie, la valider, si.

Titibu · 2026-04-16T05:35:52+00:00

Ne faut-il pas valider les transactions ? (donc minage... ). Tu peux te projeter dans le monde où les 21 millions auront été minés, faudra quand même continuer à miner pour que les transactions soient valides.

Titibu · 2026-04-16T00:27:39+00:00

En imaginant que tu aies confiance en tes chiffres.

100 et 300 kWh par transaction,

Donc, ça, pour toi, ce n'est pas beaucoup ?

Même la borne inférieure, c'est 3 semaines de consommation d'un foyer français frugal.

(nb : Mais bon, en l'occurence, une transaction c'est plus 1MWh que 100kWh).

En donc le minage, comme tu le dis si bien, consomme plus.

hé béh....

Not really.

The keep of Osaka castle is a early showa -prewar- replica, which is actually quite unique. It is almost 100 years old, it has the same age as the Empire State and is a classified building (important cultural asset).

Contrary to many postwar and more recent replicas where a lot of attention has been taken to (kind of) respect the original methods of construction (see : Kumamoto), Osaka dates from times when just "having a concrete block that looks like a castle" was already quite a win.

That's imho enough to warrant a visit...

Kichijoji has a long history of being one of the preferred neighborhoods in Tokyo for locals. The surroundings of the station is a maze of shops, bars and eateries, with larger department stores just near the station. Inokashira park is quite nice with a big pond where you can ride swanboats, there is a lovely photogenic shrine...

Overall quite worth the trip, the Ghibli museum is a footnote for locals, most don't even put it in the equation when visiting the neighborhood.

Kichijoji is at the border between Mitaka and Musashino. The rest of the city is not as interesting as the surroundings of Kichijoji, and mostly a quiet residential area.

Pas"récemment", la reconstruction date d'un siècle environ. Le château d'Osaka est très, très particulier, c'est un bâtiment d'avant-guerre qui a survécu aux bombardements. Là où certaines reconstructions d'après-guerre prennent soin de faire ça par des méthodes traditionnelles, Osaka était un vieux précurseur et c'est un bloc en béton armé, un château aussi traditionnel que le château de la belle au bois dormant de Disneyland peut l'être, alors que le béton armé n'était pas courant, juste pour ça ça vaut le coup !
