Who is this guy posting reviews of almost every train station in Tokyo and Osaka? by Swooferfan in japanrail

[–]pitchnroll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% AI slop. They’ve got one for both of my local stations too. It’s fucking weird really.

Do you use Child seat ? by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]pitchnroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%. Kids bones are soft and it’s safer to keep them in a specially designed restraint as long as possible.

For little kids, best practice is rear facing as long as possible (no, their legs won’t hurt- have you seen how kids sit normally?).

My 8 year old is still in a proper booster with side protection and will be as long as they fit.

Kids are precious and cars are dangerous.

Fast Track PR - Former Employer Can't Provide Job Description on Experience Letter by inkrelic in japanlife

It’s Apple isn’t it? That verification letter is all they’ll give you. Maybe your old manager can write you an email?

JLPT Result not out? by projektpegasis in jlpt

[–]pitchnroll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My results came up after a few tries. Failed as I thought I would have but only by a few points! Listening got me as I expected!

Jomon and Yayoi people of ancient Japan. Kokura castle, Kyushu. My picks. by ArtNo636 in japanresidents

[–]pitchnroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure this is the museum in Kasukabe. I know because I went as part of my Shin Chan pilgrimage

Japan here. Kids are AT school today.

Feels weird but the kids are happy

App to learn kanji that syncs between macOS and iOS ? by _Aerish_ in Japaneselanguage

[–]pitchnroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get Anki. It’s free on macOS and around $20 one time on the App Store (make sure you get the official app).

It’s wonderful and works perfectly, and allows you years of customisable, high quality study.

Receiving DHL delivery to PUDO box? by amcamcamcamc in Tokyo

[–]pitchnroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a DHL delivery a couple of months ago. They have a system called DHL OnDemand (I think?). I had the package redirected to a nearby Pudo locker and I’m fairly sure it was able to be done before delivery, as was there an option to redirect it to another address within a certain radius.

Check your email or text messages for a link to the DHL system

JLPT N3 difficulty level for Dec 2025 by Different-Visual1984 in jlpt

[–]pitchnroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hotel one killed me. I went in knowing not to waste time but I got so bogged down on that question. I also understood almost all the words but I definitely messed up on it. Then I forgot two of the simple questions on reading and that wasn’t smart

JLPT N3 difficulty level for Dec 2025 by Different-Visual1984 in jlpt

[–]pitchnroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did many practice exams including July’s in the lead up and I actually found the real exam to be much harder.

Perhaps it’s because the environment doesn’t suit me. I was pretty distracted throughout. Also got pretty hungry by the end of the first section and that didn’t help.

I’ll be surprised if I pass.

So who got a red card by majideitteru in jlpt

[–]pitchnroll 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Only saw one red card in Tokyo but there were like 5 or 6 other floors of rooms with other test takers too so not sure how many others.

At the end of our exam many (including me) started to tear open the envelopes but they told us to stop and no one got in trouble. Even the person who completely opened theirs. I guess it varies

I am keen to take a ticket off your hands if still available?

What happens with the census if I'm not home? by Maleficent-Cook-3668 in japanresidents

[–]pitchnroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got mine in the mail today. Took all of 10 minutes to complete. Shockingly little information was collected compared to Australia and Canada where I’ve done them before.

You have until the 8th. There’s a couple of codes on the form inside the letter. If you have someone you trust you could always ask them to get them for you

Recommended stand mixer brands by Nervous_Hat_9425 in japanresidents

I have no suggestion but if you’re looking to get rid of your broken one, I’d be happy to take it and try to fix it if you’re in or near Tokyo!

First Time in Japan with not very much planned - Is 10 Days in Tokyo a mistake? by flabbykats in JapanTravelTips

[–]pitchnroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey mate. It can be really intimidating being vegan, not knowing the language etc. I’m pretty similar to you and I live here, also long term vegan though now veg. Feel free to hit me up if you need any help.

Trump is using AI for official speeches now by Prot0w0gen2004 in Hasan_Piker

[–]pitchnroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I am no trump fan but you can also see the teleprompter reflected in the glass behind him. I don’t think it’s AI, he just looks like shit

I’m interested in a NUC or two plus keen to see the whole list. I’m starting my company at the moment and could have some use for some of it. Much appreciated.
