head straight to security check this waiting 1 hour in line felt like the peak of inefficiency. It might be a small thing but when I’ve thought that the Japanese prioritise efficiency and smooth transfer from point A to point B it was very surprising and disappointing 🤔

incredibly inefficient like what’s the point of self check in if you have to wait in line with people who haven’t done it. And there were quite many of those people. I guess it’s not common to do the check in yourself in some countries but compared to Finland where we just drop off the luggage and

It’s just airport control at Haneda International Airport. The check in is supposed to be a baggage drop for a reason for people who have done the check in themselves prior to coming to the airport but for some reason Haneda but us in the same line as everyone else. The line went so slow and it felt

I’ve spent much of my career looking at the unforeseen complications of Article 1 of the declaration, and how the French ultimately decided who counted as “men“ who are “free and equal.” It’s hilarious having this dude show up in a Joseon #kdrama & start reciting it.

It’s a beautiful evening to pretend I’m in a kdrama romcom and ride my bike to Paris Baguette. Now all I need is a lover who pretends not to like sweets.

"Mom, one day I'd like to buy a dilapidated yet oddly atmospheric abandoned schoolhouse in Gunma." "One day, sweetie. Now it's time for bed." Here is your One Day. www.realtokyoestate.co.jp/estate.php?n...
Sun reflects off the doors of an old schoolhouse in Gunma. From this perspective, in this light, at this hour, at this distance, all seems right. A former classroom, lit by the sun and a single fluorescent tube. Hay, which can not be accounted for, is strewn about in the foreground. A long corridor in a former schoolhouse, all wood and windows. If you listen carefully you can hear the laughter of the children who once studied and played and cleaned here. If you listen even more attentively, you can hear the jeers on social media, mocking your choice of promoting something which would very clearly an economic loss, and not something to be momentarily appreciated for what it once was.

Carl Jung. Back on my Privatio Boni thing! How might an orthodox Christian or a Boethian philosopher answer?
ANSWER 5 I am indeed convinced that evil is as positive a fac-
tor as good. Quite apart from everyday experience it would be ex-
tremely illogical to assume that one can state a quality without its
opposite. If something is good, then there must needs be something
that is evil or bad. The statement that something is good would not
be possible if one could not discriminate it from something else.
Even if one says that something exists, such statement is only pos-
sible against the other statement that something does not exist.
Thus when the Church doctrine declares that evil is not (μὴ ὄν) or
a mere shadow, then the good is equally illusory, as its statement
would make no sense.

“The faster the humanoid industry grows, the greater the potential for the memory industry to evolve into a structurally growing sector that is less dependent on traditional industry cycles.” #AI #robots #humanoids
Screenshot from the article that says:

Samsung is also working to expand the use of storage devices originally developed for vehicles into humanoid robots. The company has introduced a removable automotive solid-state drive (SSD) adapted for physical Al applications.

“Our goal is for removable SSDs to become a standard solution for robotic platforms within five years”, a Samsung Electronics representative said.

This cotton yukata demonstrates the enduring appeal of the seigaiha (blue ocean waves) motif, here rendered through sophisticated shibori resist-dyeing techniques on a dramatic black ground. The seigaiha pattern, one of Japan's most recognizable traditional designs, symbolizes tranquility, strength, and good fortune, with its concentric semicircular waves representing the peaceful power of the ocean. The motif has ancient origins, appearing in Japanese art since the Heian period, and its continued use into the late 20th century reflects its timeless aesthetic appeal and cultural resonance.

The shibori technique employed here creates remarkable textural depth and tonal variation within each wave motif. The deep indigo and lighter blue gradations achieved through the resist-dyeing process give dimensional quality to the stylized waves, while the cream-colored centers of each fan shape provide bright focal points against the rich black background. This color combination of indigo blue against black represents a classic Japanese aesthetic preference, evoking both the depth of ocean waters and the dramatic contrast favored in traditional textile design.

The detail image reveals the technical complexity of the shibori work, showing how the binding and dyeing process creates intricate internal patterning within each wave segment. The slight irregularities and organic variations inherent to hand-crafted shibori work add visual interest and authenticity that mechanical printing cannot replicate.

I came across Sakuragi and Rukawa and couldn’t resist… 🏀 P.S. #SlamDunk figures are pricy af. Like at one store that had all of the main characters (5 or 6) the whole set would’ve cost €150. And that’s just for SD characters.
Two SD figures in plastic wrapping: Sakuragi Hanamichi smiling and holding a basketball, Rukawa Kaede looking a bit grumpy (some could say his normal face)

Good question. I’d guess it’s given that something may happen though the probability of it happening in your lifetime is small. I had to check & according to Wikipedia “Mount Fuji last erupted from 1707 to 1708”. So people probably go on about their lives & deal with whatever happens if it happens 🤔
