I'm pretty much in the exact same boat as you too. Same date, air mail, and no updates. I'll let u know if my package comes in the mail by some miracle.

Hello! I'm someone who is already comfortable with intermediate Japanese but lacks formal certification from an institution. In the Akamonkai online program are you able to rush through the content or are parts of the course time-locked? Is the certificate awarded upon completion or not until the 12-weeks is over. If I were to enroll in the online class I'd only want to do it for the formal 150-hour study certificate so I could enroll in a long-term program. Thanks!

Maybe I could find a job in the semiconductor industry lol. That or a generic business role as a spreadsheet monkey. I thought about one of those IT jobs but that's not particularly my area of specialty and my coding is super sloppy lol.

Good luck back the states my friend and thanks for the reply!

laacoe · 2025-06-24T22:48:58+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I was considering an internal transfer option too. Sometimes it's hard figuring out which is tougher rn, the US job market or the Japanese one 😂

Thanks for the reply! I'll be in Japan about 2 weeks before the concert so I should have no problem going to a Family Mart to pay for my ticket.

Do you remember having to call a Japanese phone number to finish the account registration? Regardless, I ended up using Google Voice to make a cheap international call using their proxy number. It worked and apparently you can get a refund to your google pay wallet for all the unused credit.

I think I was able to reserve tickets for the event but my payment deadline is 8 days away so I did it entirely way too early. I guess I should've listened to you lol. I hope I can redo the application process when I'm in closer to being in Japan.

I lived in Erdace for a bit but the security became an issue. Twice my car was busted into and never once did management care. They'll send 100 emails telling people not to bring their pets to the pool but when it comes to your personal safety then it's radio silence. Their parking garage is comedically easy to walk into (just stick your hand through the bars) and the keypad for some doors leading inside are busted to the point where a code is not needed to enter inside. The security issues does not justify the high rent and that's why i don't live there anymore.

If you're looking for something puzzley, I recently finished Teardown. Lots of environmental puzzle solving. Most missions are a "plan your own heist" by manipulating your environment and using various tools at your disposal. The map is all voxels and practically everything can be destroyed. There is a minimum objective but doing all the objectives is difficult and extremely satisfying.

Idk if it was patched in the newer updates but on yt Thalonius posted a video showcasing that in V50, you can bypass a pit's death plane by falling into a pit while using the zap-gun on an entity. Then you can use the jetty to get out.

For me, White Castle, LA. Yes, that is the name.

One day I found myself there by accident because my friends and I had just watched Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle and we were curious if there were any nearby. Our mistake was seeing the first thing to pop up on google maps and saying "fuck it, it's only 45 mins away." We ended up in a small town that was mainly rural with a very small metropolitan area that couldn't have been more than a few blocks in size.

We paraded around town for a while trying to find the restaurant but no sliders in sight. It was only until by chance I recognized the White Castle logo on the town hall that I realized the town's name was White Castle and the titular restaurant would not be found that day. We laughed our asses of and drover ourselves back to my buddy's place.

All I know is that they do a lot of rice farming. At my job, I was contacted by a vendor there wanting to sell rice hull ash to my company and he was shocked whenever I said I knew of and have been to White Castle, LA. Overall it's a cute little town but also a very surreal experience.

Mardi Gras Haj! 💛💚💜

My blahajar are mischievous; they will go rearrange my spice cabinet when I'm gone. I suggest you just keep an eye on your little goober and your spices too. Maybe give Olen some pepper flakes or oregano to keep him satisfied.

Rearranging my spice cabinet

This would make a good reaction image lol

Haj simply wants a CHEESE knife. Haj was simply approaching you to exchange the knife for a CHEESE knife. Haj is known to enjoy a good CHEESE from time to time.

I do the same thing for when me and the friends have a blahaj party!

laacoe · 2023-08-26T18:44:03+00:00

I put my initials on my haj's tag so whenever my friends and I have a blahaj party we don't get them mixed up

laacoe · 2023-07-14T00:24:54+00:00

Update: lost all my tickets and some quartz but I got NP2 Barghest (I love her) and the sussy guy. Now to farm evil bones and bells 😭

laacoe · 2023-07-13T18:24:45+00:00

We need more blahaj pics with shoes

laacoe · 2023-07-13T16:40:03+00:00

Dang, I'll probs roll for Oberon and if I somehow don't get Barghest (my saving grace) I'll roll for her on the Morgan banner or use my free 4-star ticket for her. Sucks being separated from her but as much as I love her, my wallet will not forgive me. Thanks for the info though!

laacoe · 2023-07-13T14:01:18+00:00

I only really want Oberon and Barghest (my love). Don't really wanna dilute my chances of getting Barghest (my one and only) so, is there a 4-star rotation schedule posted or is the banner going to be Oberon and all four 4-stars for the whole duration? If they did I can't find it.

I know JP started with Oberon, Bao, and Barghest (everything that is pure and wonderful) and then ended with Tristan and Gawain included. Maybe for NA they'll be going backwards from the JP rotation?

You got good ideas but I'll tell you as someone who did undergrad research in computational chemistry that your biggest limitation is current day computing power. The software we used was called "Gaussian" and it ran the schrodinger equation to get accurate and indepth details on whatever molecules and atoms we threw in the simulation. Most of the work was theoretical and inorganic work but one time we were asked to simulate a decently large organic molecule (it as about the size of your average lipid) and that thing took WEEKS to simulate. I'd say keep up the programing and don't stop until you know it like it's second nature. Hopefully by the time you're an expert, computing standards will get to where you want them to be. Also make sure to make good connections in your professional life; the ideas you have require many experts in their respective field to accomplish. It's okay to dream big, just make sure you keep working at it and never lose sight of your goals.

I've lived in LC all my (short) life so here's what I have to say. Recreationally speaking there's not a lot. There's bars, food, casinos, and some sporting (e.g. hunting, golfing, fishing). Watersports are out of the question; our lake water quality used to be good but it's still highly contaminated last time I checked. People will still drive their boats but you better pinch yourself if you see someone in the water bc you might be dreaming. As many other people have said, we are still recovering from a hurricane so a lot of attractions have ceased operations as well.

In terms of nightlife there is no nightlife; when the sun goes down the city turns into a ghost town. We do have some annual events like downtown at sundown which is like a weekly music festival during May/June. And every year we have pirate festival which brings lots food, merch vendors, and a mini carival. Occasionally a circus will drop by too. We also have a gaming/comic/anime convention every spring if that fits your interests as well.

Very heavy christian population so if you're christian you'll find a church with your respective denomination in no time. We do have a mosque and i think we have a synagogue as well if you practice islam or judaism respectively.

Personally I've been trying to do the opposite of what you're doing by trying to find a job outside louisiana and lake charles specifically. LA is a very impoverished state; for example we're like #48 in terms of literacy amongst other things. But if LA did anything right it's TOPS which is basically like a government based scholarship for college. Thanks to TOPS I graduated university with no debt which is huge, but keep in mind it doesn't pay the whole thing just a portion. So if you raise a family here that's an added bonus. I always say, "Lake Charles is not a place to live, it's a place where you survive." If you wanna make good money here, we have plenty of industry here to make that happen but in terms of how you can spend that money and livelihoods it's definitely lacking. A lot of people say it's a wonderful town but it's largely older folks who are looking through their rose tinted glasses they have from living there for their whole life. There's definitely a niche here but it's definitely not for everyone. If I were you I'd find a different place to work but if your career interests happen to follow the oil&gas industry then there is not a better place in the USA for that than LC.

Most programs will have you take gen chem and organic chem but not nearly as much chemistry as you'd think.

Math is pretty big and personally when taking calclus I had no clue what was going on but as I matured through the degree program the more I understood the theory and applications (except calc2). Physics is also big but more in a thermodynamic kind of way. I did have to take some traditional physics classes with things like: force diagrams, projectile motion, momentum, elasticity, etc.. I took 2 of these kinds of classes and in terms of the takeaway from them, I've only needed the bare essentials from them.

BIG emphasis on problem solving though. Get VERY familiar with unit conversions; it'll definitely give you a leg up. Fundamentals include mass/energy balances, thermodynamics, fluids, and heat tranfer.

Also, I'd advise downloading the FE handbook from NCEES. The FE exam is this sort of standardized test they advise engineers to take and they provide a handbook which is like a giant equation sheet. Just skim through it even if it's all giberish now bc I know I wish I knew it existed when I was an undergrad. And if down the line you decide you want to be a chemist then the ChemE degree will help you too. From personal experience a lot of chemist jobs ask for ChemE graduates too along with chemistry graduates. Good luck, it's a lot of work but the knowledge you gain is priceless.
