You absolutely should, it's very easy! Process is very quick especially if you know your ancestry already.
Gotta say it was surreal arriving in the City to see a billboard for a dentist who is probably a cousin based on the surname.
Oh yes, I'm aware, I just noticed earlier that the upper right is listed as ใขใใใ instead and assumed they had made a simple error or were making a questionable ใใใใๆฅๆฌ่ช choice considering the bottom left is more commonly a ๅไป or ในใฏใผใฟใผrather than a ใใคใฏ, you know?
Were they already aware that the poster mixes up the bike and moped placement..?

STUDY: Despite conventional wisdom that increases in vehicle fuel efficiency results in decreased gasoline consumption, Jevonsโ Paradox holds. For every 1 mile per gallon of increased fuel efficiency thereโs an associated 1.2 mile increase in vehicle miles travelled.
Better cars = higher emissions.
Image of car dependency with a line crossed through it. The tagline says โmobility freedom comes from mobility choices.โ At the bottom, it says โurban truth collective.โ
They really want us to love cars. But why would we love being car dependent?
Dependency is never freedom. Mobility freedom comes from mobility choices. #UrbanTruth
Very cool. My family and I just moved to Sendai last year. Perhaps we'll see you around the Aoba matsuri or something of the sort.
Welcome back. Is this a return to Sendai? You posted about an ex-boss awhile ago and I noticed it was up here.

A brown coffee thermos with stickers reading, ็็ฒ็ in black and white, a red Punk scholars network sticker, and a picture of cats moshing. In the background is a green child's placemat with Moomin considering his tail.
Right on! Here's mine in all its glory.
Seconded. I've had mine for going on 11 years. The gasket is still intact with no cracks, the seal doesn't leak,and ut keeps liquid as hot as what you put in for at least 6 hours. I've had warmth even after 24 if I forgot there was coffee in it.
People who don't ride transit should still support it.
Why? Because you canโt build your way out of traffic with more lanes, but you CAN transit your way out of it by giving others a better option.

Browsing through the listings and it seems really, really great? Form a group and start at it for those with an interest. I'll be trying to see how I can influence my urban studies class syllabus with this

If you've got nutritional yeast and want some extra protein you could toss some on there with the seasoning too. Gives a kind of cheesy flavor.
feels like i should re-post this every few weeks
Honestly don't think I'd've done the PhD without the time I spent in IRC groups, so I'm down
I don't think it would've been so bad this semester if I hadn't had to shift to digital class. They were expected to expand on a weekly journal entry based on ethnographic observation so I thought it would be good to be half done already. Alas. Will tinker with it again for next time.
For reference, yes there were strict instructions in both syllabus and assignment not to use LLM or other assistive software.
With 150 students, at least a quarter or more have had this "Paper (year) says X, Y, Z." And it's a massive misinterpretation or doesn't fit what they are saying.
The #1 issue grading final papers this semester is my undergrads doing *some of the writing* but then using a chatbot to summarize a paper or book and using that as a "citation." And it's wrong, vague and pointless, or even crossing into misconduct!
I won't ever have enough hair for a mohawk again.
Funnily enough, Tokyo is in the minority in not charging already. Putting aside the regressive nature of this sytem, I imagine they will require a ๆๅฎใใฟ่ข (designated trash bag) sold in packs of multiple for different types of trash.

While the US is being buried in snow, the sea of Japan side here has been getting it for a week too. Weather reports this morning detailed the number of cars which got ในใฟใใฏ (stuck) in the snow. Hadn't ever seen that word used in JP prior! Just, stuck!

Would you mind adding me as well?
You donโt know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer.
In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said โBring me your clothingโ.
