This question has me bside myself. I haven’t lived there in more than a decade, though, so not sure if I count anymore. I was trying a joke and realized that I am, at least technically, American and had to stop, heh.

No I’m not!

(I was considering just posting the Monty Python argument scratch instead)

Nothing. These days? Not because I don’t know things, but because a lot of people refuse to accept new information, even when it comes from reputable peer-reviewed sources and there’s not much arguing with that.

I don’t think it does, or at least not much. I quit before BC, the started working in the games industry years later and had to pick it back up. Quit before the panda thing (I forget precisely when).

I have good memories of playing it with coworkers and friends. I don’t think about it these days at all (and fuck blizzard, honestly).

That job had me play lots of MMOs (I worked at one of the community/fan/tools sites (we did not allow account/gold sales, botting discussion/links. Etc)) and eventually I burnt out on them pretty hard. Single player RPGs are more my jam these days

You can strip AI out of this post and nothing changes. Granting various things access to your various systems/works has and will do things like this.

Also, any ideas on how to spend a week without Internet?

I feel so very old all of a sudden, even as someone who’s technically (at least once they bumped x back to 1980) a milineal.

Hiking, walking, reading, card games, board games, and even just talking. Cooking could be fun as well, depending upon the setup. Fishing, maybe?

Edit: drawing, painting, knitting, etc. as well

First, I start moving people to hotel rooms…

No. I would walk ~5-20 minutes to a bus/train station that would take me there.

Edit: for < 4km I would walk. Why does Google think that would be such a long journey in terms of time (which my first response was based upon)

Extant in Latin and roots in Proto-Indo-European presumably. I’ve met many with my name.

We’re stuck on Mac at work and I hate it.

Japan apparently has the same problem. It definitely has that probably using a phone to scan the id card to use various services (which is why I run stock android, mostly, with transit passed and banking being the other reasons).

I say apparently because I have zero interest in having the id on my phone itself.

Rooting apparently makes FELICA not work which is super inconvenient in Japan.

Seconded. Not just Tokyo, either, but even up in sendai

I don’t use a smartphone enough to worry about it. If I am using my phone, most of the time it’s either Anki, Google Maps, or, like you mention, banking/government stuff.

Texting via SMS (or whatever it is these days) isn’t really a thing in Japan, either, which makes things more difficult especially as I despise talking on the phone. If, for example, I’m at the supermarket and wife remembers something she needs, getting that message is good

I was redhat/mandrake of which neither worked well on my PC, Gentoo, Ubuntu, and mint (playing with distros like LoaF at various points).

I got started on Linux at home from the valley of despair on early-2000s Gentoo. It wasn’t that bad, but I did have a lot more time on my hands being too poor to go out most of the time.

I just put mint on a laptop yesterday; got no time for it anymore

well, I’m snipped so that’s not a problem, but if we decided to for some reason adopt, they probably wouldn’t love it. I wonder if tabbed browsing would ever go away and it would be a surname based on something that everyone forgets (there are more obscure examples but for example Cooper, Cobbler, Fletcher, Bowyer, Tyler, Taylor, Brewster, etc.)

My brain added an ‘n’ to the first word of “waking universe” and I think it still works

Japan really likes it’s foam (7:3 beer to foam is considered best). They even have cans where most of the top pops off and it foams up to a head (I hate those). I was always the guy who would order it without foam at my local. One of the half-Japanese staff was the same. I don’t care for the texture (and younger, poorer me didn’t care for what I saw as a waste of money). The only good thing I’ve heard is it can keep the beer fresher in the glass for longer, but I was never a slow drinker.

(Mostly) very good public transit in big cities and even in some smaller areas.

I personally still love to see the mountains. I grew up in a place scraped flat by glaciers in the US and seeing the mountains on a couple of sides of me every day here in Japan still feels really neat and inspiring, even a decade in.

I think VK is still around which I also think is Russian.
