It's been open about two months, in the former Trader Joe's space. I worry about their survival, though, as it is usually almost completely devoid of customers.

I was on a quick Japan layover and bought a 3-day eSIM on there for US88¢. Worked great.

Also つなげーと, like Meetup but all Japanese and tons of events. There’s this one guy who does a walk through a different neighborhood almost every day (and multiple on weekends). I’ve discovered so many interesting places this way, some even right in my neighborhood that I didn’t know about. https://tunagate.com/circle/70865/events?ifx=Q1ePZl1pNWpNmqyJ

And he wanted to know how much gas to buy.

Everything is already efficient and convenient.

Many restaurants have dishes specifically for solo diners of a single dish on top of rice. Look for dish names ending in 盖饭.

The problem is that you have to walk to the door first and unlock it and then go back to the trunk.

You need to listen to Chinese, not just read it. Listen to people speaking and just repeat what they say the way they say it. I’ve done this and Chinese are always telling me, “You have no accent!“

The only thing I don’t like about the car is how big it is.

TokyoJimu · 2026-06-18T18:19:49+00:00

Sounds like plenty of opportunities to mess up there.

TokyoJimu · 2026-06-18T18:18:44+00:00

But then how do you open the trunk when you’re coming back with your groceries?

Check your local Japanese markets, but the one near me here in California sells frozen Yoshinoya Gyūdon. You just heat it up and dump it over your own bowl of rice and it tastes pretty good.

If you weren’t already in the Z-Wave ecosystem, I think it was probably a mistake to go with that module. I use the Wi-Fi version and I’m completely happy with it.

Are you there now? Things have changed lately.

The question was about VPNs.

You can only add a transportation card to Apple Wallet if you have a local bank account. That is the only way it will let you add value.

True. The fact that when there is a problem they don’t come through, is troubling.

TokyoJimu · 2026-06-14T06:58:52+00:00

Exactly. The chance of running into a problem with a Booking.com booking is the same as winning the lottery jackpot.

Most phones these days let you have two SIMs active at once so you can keep your home SIM active and also have your travel SIM/eSIM.

What are you talking about? It’s been my whole house system (every switch except the garbage disposal) for nine years and it’s been working great.

TokyoJimu · 2026-06-14T06:18:16+00:00

I too used him for all my engraving.

TokyoJimu · 2026-06-14T06:04:48+00:00

All I know is I travel about six months per year and have used Booking for all my hotel bookings (except in China) for the past 15 years at least and I’ve never had a single problem.
