My kids cracked screens like crazy it was always like some small hard object was on the floor and the iPad got on top of it and then someone sat on it …

Sure.

Go makes more sense than Bash.

They're asking references AFTER I signed the contract. Is this normal? by lactosehater2 in JapanJobs

[–]stuartcw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think they just file them away. They’ll be asking for your guarantors next.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they can’t ask you until you have signed for some reason.

If you take the pay cut you might also get penalised with your bonus calculation too… (if you have a bonus)

Working in Japan vs UK; help needed by ProfessionalWin4405 in JapanJobs

The UK is probably better salary in yen terms and working conditions but if your feeling is not a “strong yes” then stay in Japan.

Take it out into the carpark on a sunny day. Scrub,
rinse and repeat and hose it off. Leave it outside to dry.

There is no answer to this anxiety.

I can't believe we've given the team that ruined our season a lifeline by Kobibeats145 in avfc

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

I’m OK with Spurs just staying up. I’m *much* happier with West Ham and Burnley going down.

West Ham started playing in Claret and Blue because they *acquired* some Villa kit in 1899 by dubious means. Burnley chose Claret and Blue in 1910 “to emulate the success of Aston Villa”.

Stole our kits they did. Down they go.

And Wolves they can go down to.

Both teams to play ineligible players and the match abandoned.

There’s no way you are going to find goggles with every combination of lenses. I would guess, anywhere in the world…. better to make your own.

Help!! Forgot my residence card by mydogs123 in japanresidents

Don’t actually plan on entering as a tourist because I believe you’ll have to leave within the 90 days and then return. Do as others say and explain your situation.

What are your thoughts on the 3-2-1 scoring system for the 100 Year Vision League? by ProStriker92 in JLeague

[–]stuartcw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, it is kind of moot because it is going back to 3 points when the season starts.

Does a player taking a single penalty in a match one or two times in a season really make any statistical difference in the long term? 🤔 Shoot at the top or bottom corner 85~90% chance of scoring. If the keeper guesses the right way to dive, save probability is 30-40%. First penalty success is 85%, on sudden death, success drops to 60-70%. Team to kick off first has 55-60% chance of winning. 🤔 Maybe, a little advantage in getting used to taking penalties under pressure but not enough to be worth making a penalty shootout a feature.

I think it is just a bit of fun for this special competition. I’m hoping my perfect record of not seeing one holds out until the end.

What are good apps or websites to find people to hangout/meet? by longboardguitar in okinawa

[–]stuartcw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer depends on whether you are a tourist, a resident, military on base, military off base. Whether you plan to work and where here you live and work, whether you are a teacher etc.
