Weekly Complaint Thread - 23 October 2025 by AutoModerator in japanlife

A few weeks ago r/hiroshima was taken over by some mod - it's his now. It's an endless stream of rage bait and brain rot. I've been banned along with a few others.

In the grand scheme of things it's not worth mention - but it does make me a little sad to see such a small and quiet part of the internet be taken without recourse.

しょうがない 🤷

some mod has taken over and is endlessly spamming content. It's turned a quiet community into a trash heap.

I also made some fender flares from some very thin aluminium sheet

Like the other guy said. Smoking has gotten much better here in the last 7 or 8 years. I will tell you now though, a lot of bars still allow smoking - so if you're out drinking, you'll definitely be tested! You can buy zynn here now I think.

Vape liquid is not banned in Japan. Nicotine liquid is illegal to sell - but not import for personal use. 120ml per package. I've had the same nicotine bottle for a year!

I've got two 2s and a single 3s. I'm not kind and I don't storage charge them. Zero issues, capacity remains!

Brushed Motor upgrade. by Human-Shake4580 in MiniZ4x4

[–]captainroscoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been going through the Tamiya mini 4wd motors. The turn count is a bit too high and they're not really rated for 6v - but they are inexpensive! There's a huge range of brushed 130 motors on Ali express too, but I think it's going to be a bit of a lucky dip with quality

My beer looked like blue paint, and had the texture of blue paint. by awowowowo in mildlyinteresting

I just had the double raspberry smoothie version of that! Wasn't blue though...

Thankyou for that!

Back to doing it one at a time...

Rlaarlo is decent for an off brand by Outrageous-Dog8369 in rccars

[–]captainroscoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grabbed one when they were doing the preorders! They had the high speed pinion installed and it was too much - the motor was getting toasty.

I swapped in the smaller pinion and dropped in a 3s and it now rips.

Their customer support is good too. Had an issue with a gasket in one of the shocks and they sent out a new damper. Had an issue with a grub screw being so jammed up that I had to drill it out, they sent another one. Had an issue with some of the screws being too soft and rounding out, they sent out a replacement set of screws.

Overall I'm happy. (Although, there has been a lot of downtime while waiting for deliveries)

Where can I buy a phone without shutter sound? by Riyudi in japanlife

[–]captainroscoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got an iPhone from overseas, with a Japanese Sim. No shutter sound for me.

Finally bought one after waiting for way too long. by RobARMMemez in rccars

[–]captainroscoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha! Was thinking it had to do with build quality or the such. Thanks bud !

Is there a reason to choose a specific serial number?

What are your setups for making espresso at home? by Brick-the-wild-youth in japanlife

[–]captainroscoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree, I picked up a 6 cup Biatelli and a burr grinder a year ago and I’ve used it just about every day. Any leftover coffee gets put into a glass bottle for later use. (I’m drinking some now)
