WHAT IS THE BEST TYPE OF HUMAN TO DIP IN THIs "KETCHUP" AND WHY IS IT A SINGLE FEMALE HUMAAN LAWER!

Native English, conversational japanese, survival German (I was conversational at one point, but it's mostly gone), a tiny bit of french (same as German), very basic Spanish, and a tiny bit of Hebrew (I wanted to learn something in the semitic family and it seemed less intimidating than Arabic to start with)

I don't want to see the EXPLAIN for that query. This person really needs to learn more about sql, I'd wager.

I grew up in a very small Ohio town. I moved to Houston, Texas and met one person from the same town and later one from a town over at a bar.

I quit Facebook/etc. not long after moving to Tokyo. I ran into a guy from Columbus, Ohio that I knew from when I lived there.

I've also run into friends of friends randomly in Tokyo.

Now, I love away from Tokyo in the countryside, so I'll be super surprised if I meet anyone again, but who knows.

Edit: for context, on a business day, there are more than 30 million people plus tourists in the Tokyo metro

An asshole billionaire fleeing from something is also a situation I can't comprehend but, on the other hand, fuck 'em.

Scope creep: this time we're sure it won't be a disaster at all.

Really neat if they could pull it off and have it not ruin anything else in the game, though I think I'd want any social stuff to be optionally enabled rather than always on.

I'm supposed to avoid gluten these days, but a banh mi is frequently on my mind

I resolved to stop paying full price for anything Pitchford and his touch based on a number of factors. I did buy the latest BL game when it was on a big sale and thoroughly hated the main story and various plotholes (seemingly from cuts made by the company/directors rather than the writers). I bought Tiny Tina (again, on sale for over half off) and it was a game with all kinds of bugs that just never got fixed -- it's the first game I didn't immediately roll a new character to replay after beating it. At this point, I'm not sure I would buy anything else they put out.

I debated because I really disliked another option in there (I think it was split-screen for AI or something stupid) and it felt like it was designed to make me not rank something else I didn't like as least desired.

The US and it's people are often super loud. I say this as one who traveled and now lives in Japan. I didn't notice right away and had to work hard to lower my normal volume

Tons of structures in Tokyo are wooden. I lived in a steel-and-block place (which is apparently quite rare with most being steel-reinforced concrete), but all the apartments and single-family homes around me were wooden. Moreso when I moved further out of the city center.

I now live further north in Japan in a classically-designed wooden home and it's still terrible in these temperatures (and we're not nearly as hot as Tokyo up here).

I actually talked to an architect about this a couple of years ago and, though structures here are meant to breathe (mostly for airflow to avoid mold and later because of big problems with off-gassing and "sick house syndrome" when they tried to build more sealed structures with mechanical ventilation), they were not meant for the sustained hot conditions we face here today.

Yeah, Doc, I'm not sure what's wrong with me, but it seems like I have an early breakfast or a late dinner...
