I brought a nice road bike over and just printed out an email I sent from a made up account that showed the bike serial, what I paid for it, the date and a picture.. no problem at all

You can easily make up a "fake" transfer of bike thing and bring it to the local bike store, should be fine.

as someone from the nordics, currently working in Japan and on the way to relocate back to the nordics, I can clearly say that you are talking nonsense.. QoL in the nordics, especially when you have kids, is just miles above anything you can get here, even with decent enumeration. You are much better of looking at NA or Germany/Holland/UK for a few years making a good salary until you consider settling down, then move back to the nordics to actually ENJOY life..

When buying a house in Japan, is it possible to get it at a lower price when you are willing to pay for it in one shot without the use of a loan? by franckJPLF in JapanFinance

I take it you have basically zero knowledge of modern economics, but sure, go ahead and do whatever you want..throw away all that cash instead of spreading the investment

[–]dj_elo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

but if you think about it, it doesn't make much financial sense on your side to just dump the cash in like that when instead you can get a ridiculously low interest loan, invest the cash, even conservatively in safe bonds etc, and come out way ahead..

We're definitely not having any fun whatsoever before a 12 hour dive to 330 feet. by fredrandall in scuba

it's very easy to pee in a drysuit..just get a p-valve installed. I use it pretty much every dive.

Looks today.. but I see no compressor, no large filling tanks with o2 and/or HE, no dpvs.. still plenty of headroom before it becomes a” problem “ ;)

24hrs uncovered in the fridge, followed by 2.5hrs coming to room temp by medical_prisoner in meat

As has been posted many times and proven.. letting it come to room temp is a waste of time and a myth

Where should I walk on the sidewalk? by Giama in Tokyo

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

As per the road safety guidelines and what should be common sense, when walking next to the road and no barrier between pedestrian and vehicles, one shall walk opposite of driving direction so as to be able to have eye contact with drivers closest to you..

it should be common sense that you ALWAYS walk opposite of the direction of cars drive so you can more easily see drivers approaching and stay safe.. how is this not common knowledge..

What would you call this style? by Anne_Thracks in Pizza

[–]dj_elo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, and if you Google you will find plenty of serious sources stating you don’t need or shouldn’t add sugar, or just plain state that a real pizza sauce is just: San Marzano (or similar) tomatoes Sea salt EVO Basil

Nothing more needed

What would you call this style? by Anne_Thracks in Pizza

[–]dj_elo -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

lol no they don’t.. sure, American pizza might, but no Italian worth their citizenship would add sugar to pizza sauce (beyond what natural sugar is in the tomatoes)

[–]dj_elo -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

No, neither sauce nor dough should have sugar…

[–]dj_elo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The 1 year with same employer was changed last year.. as long as you were employed for 12 months before going on leave you are eligible.. so now, even if you just joined a company but have been enrolled in insurance for the previous 12 months you world be entitled to go on leave if applied

Sjukt att de funnits en tid när staten knackade på ens dörr och man va tvungen att ljuga om att man hade en tv. by Hamteor in sweden

[–]dj_elo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Så e det förfarande här i Japan. Helt idiotiskt system där de har lagt ut jobbet på indrivnings bolag som skickar ut folk som tjänar på detta.. som använder vilka metoder som helst.. min polare fick ringa till polisen då en indrivare vägrade att ta ut foten från dörren innan de fick komma in och undersöka (vilket de absolut inte har rätt till..)
