What is long distance in Japan? A day trip from Kyoto to Hiroshima and back? Fukuoka to Kumamoto and back? Tokyo to Nagano and back? Osaka to Kanazawa and back? Tokyo to Nara and back

These are all "long" but really not that time-long distances. Shinkansen and regional trains work pretty well for these. And yes, a lot of tourists move between the cities quite often, even some metros accept the JR pass.

I was there twice in last 3 years and for our calculation it took 5-6 return shinkansen trips to justify new jr pass price (2 weeks jr pass). And let me tell you shinkansen are experience on their own so there was no lack of will to find daytrips using them

it's basically impossible for the JR Pass to be more affordable than single tickets

Not true. It really depends on your use case and blanket statements like this aren't helpful. Yes, the pass has doubled in price since few years ago but it still does make sense in many cases, especially in multi-week multi-city Japan trips

I completely agree.

The good thing is that google in Germany now shows how many reviews were removed due to deflamation. That should be enough for people to make their judgement when checking how many stars a place has

This is what you get when worm infested brains lead the country

The price thing is really true.

No price tag can make me use insufferable MacOS, the same as iOS.

now publicly manifest as "Golden Dome

"Golden" goes perfectly in line with the current president's office decor

People praising it in the comments seem none the wiser

Or.. they simply like it? Regardless of what we think about it

This map is inaccurate, for at least one major FAANG player. General metro area seems to be good but actual physical location is way wrong, not even the campus is right

Model S Plaid has faster acceleration than Luce and they have similar top speed.

People don’t get sports cars just for the acceleration.

Why would your head always be turned to one side? Have one monitor in the middle (the main one) and secondary either left or right. Having split screen right in the middle of my field of view is ridiculously unpleasant

It's a bit snobby, both shelving and the desk.

Now when I checked his website in little bit more detail I get that feeling more and more. Looks like someone who brags about a lot of things he owns and cannot shut up about it.

2. It asks for access to your email via Apple's Mail app which I don't use

Assumption that people use Apple services by default is wild

lol "president"

I have a president in my neighborhood's polka club too.

What's their point?

Yes the continents too

It doesn't make it any less-region

Malta is a country, Sicily is a region

And people still voting ReformUK while seeing what's happening across the pond with equally idiotic people who are in charge for last ~18 months + 4 years in their first term. Looks like they need to learn on their own skin

7 is better than anything coming after it. Microsoft finally figured out the design, no ads embedded into every corner, no app store, no integration of every MS service into it. Earlier than 7 versions can be discussed in terms of if they match or surpass 7 or not but for myself it was MS' pinnacle in OS design

Somewhat like MAGA.

Wow this escalated quickly. What OP is saying is not anecdotal but true to every major US tech company. You can cope all you want, won't make a difference

There's plenty of us weirdos out there

Exactly, it's wild!

Correction, the driver is specifically for Apple Xserve front-panel

Few days ago I watched a video where a guy wrote the code for Linux USB driver from scratch. In frickin' vi! It was a ride

Forgot the /s

Count 5 - Engaging in a Monetary Transaction in Property Derived from Specified Unlawful Activity

For a moment there I read this as the unlawful activity was Maduro's arrest, and someone made money on that fact.

Outside of the US Japan is the most saturated Apple's market

It's funny how yesterday's John's wiki article didn't even know his exact age/DOB. Now it's corrected :)

it means nothing when the UX is hot garbage

Apple’s software is the best in the non-free software world compared to Google's or Microsoft

Apple's iOS is hot garbage. The macOS is not far behind on how horrible the UX is
