I’ve had smart TVs that only updates with fat32 formatted USBs for firmware, for a concrete example.

In Japan, we usually have a thermostat to set the max water temperature and most bath fixtures have temperatures written on them (with a little push button safety thing to go over 40c). I don’t know why it’s not common elsewhere.

Thanks!

Is there a further version that explains what these pictures are? I’m assuming the left one is a band and probably one I’ve heard, but I’m otherwise confused.

They made a deal with the Final Fantasy folks.

When I first moved to Japan and was shopping at a supermarket, I noticed they sell yakisobapan. so grilled noodles in bred. I guess as a kid I would use my garlic bread to make a little sandwich with spaghetti so I kinda get it, but still.

As someone doing IT for over two decades, I guess I’m somewhere in the top half of the image? I don’t care for anime that much so no bottom right and fursuits creep me out so not bottom right.

I had it for the first time around '90 in a financially struggling family and, while it was something of a treat, I never wanted to go back. To me then, I think it was just weird in terms of flavor (to me at the time), so maybe I was just off to a bad start. Today, I love in Japan and grow my own ingredients to make the tex-mex (and sometimes more traditionally Mexican) food I would later grow to love

I don’t care for it, personally, and never have.

There’s still a fair bit of sugar in everything. I think trans-fats are also still in use here unless that changed recently.

I don’t know of any restaurant here that does that, but sometimes bars and such throw parties for their regulars, and they’re kinda like that. A few grill, there’s drinks, people talk and hang out, etc.

In Tokyo? Country House? If so, I’ve been, heh.

If it was a chain and had free refills at a drink bar, it might have been Johnathon’s https://www.skylark.co.jp/en/jonathan/menu/index.html

There are a bunch of other one-off places as well.

Columbus, OH had a gay western bar one that turned into the goth club by the time I first went there.

healthy food like many Japanese diets do

Wanna explain what that is? Because obesity is on the rise here and people day-to-day are just eating konbini (convenience store) pre-packaged stuff laden with fried food and instant noodles.

American living in Japan here and I grill weekly on my Weber over charcoal. When I lived in Texas, we grilled whenever we could, basically. In the midwest, my grandparents had a Jenair for when the weather was bad and grilled at least once a week. They were rich, though, so there’s that.

There are a couple of “real” BBQ places, but none that I know of that would have sufficient lawn for lawn chairs. There are plenty of grill-your-own places here, most of which are Korean-style BBQ, but some of which let you grill other things. As I think about it, I don’t think I’ve seen the type of lawn chair (like oven “fabric” style) that I was used to here; it’s all just plastic molded chairs these days.

I was taught it in rural Ohio in the '80s, but it was never used outside of science in any meaningful way. Now live in metric land where things make so much more sense.

My grandfather was, but it does seem rather unlikely he’ll be able to do it again now that you mention it.
