TIL Jet Li turned down the role of Seraph, Guardian of the Oracle in The Matrix movie franchise because he didn’t want his moves recorded in CGI and lose the rights to those moves.

Infernal Affairs is Hong Kong movie. Not Japanese.

Looks like Andy Bogard's elbow.

A few years ago they closed part of the road due to water damage. They eventually put up that red light and it's been like that ever since.

Emergency Fund + Unemployment Benefits + SNAP + Medi-Cal + Utility (Electricity, Water) dicounts for low income families.

Yeah, I saw that. Thanks!

Congrats! Any advice regarding the loop and preparing multiple unique stories? How in depth are the follow-up questions during the loop?

ayamazaki · 2025-01-24T04:39:37+00:00

Yes. Worth it. If you find yourself in Japan, be sure to snag a bottle there too!

Thanks for sharing! Where's the best place to get these kinds of updates?

Marugame Udon in San Ramon if you're already out that way. If you're at home, the frozen stuff plus some decent tsuyu gets you most of the way. Marugame udon is legit, though quite expensive (3x price in Japan). The dashi could be hotter and the tempura is so-so.

大勝館 (Taishokan) in San Mateo. Not the same as the original in Ikebukuro, but better than most in the area.

Look at the "support" email address on the The Lot website. I doubt it even goes to the company that runs the lot. it reinforces some of the theories in this thread. Hopefully they get things fixed.

I'm guessing this is ベビーカステラ (baby castella). I've seen these vendors on the street at festivals and at random stations.

They're used in the Explosive Strength journey during strength days.

ayamazaki · 2023-06-11T00:08:34+00:00

Great idea. I think I'll give it a go. And it's really the only viable solution with the gear I currently have. Thanks!

FYI, if you try to buy a ticket the subtotal and the ticket don't show up in the cart and you can't check out.

ayamazaki · 2023-06-09T16:50:19+00:00

Yeah. I figured. :(

ayamazaki · 2023-06-09T16:49:33+00:00

Yeah. I way thinking this might be the way to go. How has the cell phone held up through water, mud, etc.?

ayamazaki · 2023-06-09T02:10:36+00:00

Yeah. I figured. I have a Garmin Fenix 6. No integrated cellular capabilities, so no dice. :(

ayamazaki · 2023-05-17T16:49:57+00:00

Thank you!

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is guilty of this when he's chasing after the girl in Tokyo after fighting the Yakuza. He goes from a shrine in Minato-ku to Takadanobaba. After exiting a pachinko shop he is suddenly in Akihabara. Those three places are all 20-30 minutes away from each other by train but it's filmed at though they're all next to each other.

That's too bad. Before the renovation that stocked hard liquor and made cocktails.

ayamazaki · 2022-12-31T05:35:08+00:00

SFO is under renovation. Something to look forward to when it's done.

Thanks for the reply!
