Don't forget cashews.
Why? The 14th amendment is clear:

Christianity is no different.

About $600 apparently. The regular S100X is $350.

Re:Why I Still Reach for Lisp (& Scheme) Instead of Haskell on Wednesday April 29, 2026 @06:56PM (#47955800)
Your criticism of Haskell is entirely subjective. There are lots of people, myself included, that like and prefer Haskell's syntax.

> there is barely anything around Kyoto station

This is simply not true. Kyoto station is probably the most densely packed shopping / entertainment area in the city.

Source: I live in Kyoto.

That is an important piece of context that isn't mentioned in the linked article. Instead, the state department makes it seem like they were kicked out for espousing opinions that the government doesn't like.
I don't endorse their views, but "hailing the great deeds of Islamic terrorists" is protected speech.
Excellent opportunity to dump Tesla and pump SpaceX.
I once saw a grown man pull his pants down and take a shit right on the sidewalk on market street. San Francisco just be like that.
In Japan the driver's face needs to be clearly visible in the photo. At least that's what I've been told. I don't drive.
Re:Understanding Rust Closures on Saturday January 24, 2026 @05:58PM (#46748592)
Closures are a complicated mess. Functional programming languages hide the mess with garbage collection.
I haven't worked in construction for over a decade, but I remember my Bosch tools being quite good. I would have loved to be able to afford Hilti though. Bosch is pro-sumer grade, so it wouldn't surprise me if they've enshittified as well; however Hilti tools are for professionals (and priced as such), so if you have deep pockets that's probably the best bet.

I've read that after Commodus was assassinated, Rome tired to scrub his existence from history. I don't know why I'm mentioning this; it's completely unrelated.

Re:What Does George Orwell's '1984' Mean in 2024? on Thursday October 16, 2025 @08:44AM (#45604661)
Maybe it's pedantic, but Orwell's title is "Nineteen Eighty-Four", not "1984".
Re:How Kyoto, Japan Became the Loveliest Tourist-Trap on Sunday October 12, 2025 @05:16AM (#45556720)
I live in Kyoto. There are a lot of tourists, but they all go to the same handful of spots. I avoid those places as much as I can. Kyoto is an amazing city: clean, safe, convenient, inexpensive (outside the tourist spots), full of history, culture, and nature.
