- Comment on guys what the heck theyre putting micro chips in the cheese and using blockchains to track the micro chips 1 week ago:
No? Barcodes and QR codes do not have enough information for unique identification. (Well they could but they start getting bigger and bigger)
But the real issue is needing these codes tracked and audited in a public manner. Instead of having a third party company trusted with all the cheese, you use a Blockchain with a public ledger. This doesn’t even require much processing power since there’s no incentive to mine as many blocks as possible.
I hate cryptobros but logistics is a good use for the tech. Tech is tech, not all use cases are bad.

I had a 6 month gap and I said I was taking a sabbatical (which was the truth). No one batted an eye.

Pretty sure this is false in most countries. You are required to disclose overseas purchases and declare values, even for personal use. If they hit a certain thresholds, you’ll have to pay a tax.
Now I’m sure most people just ignore this, because practically they don’t know which items you carried with you and which you purchased. But it isn’t legal.

This sounds like shaders used in graphics pipeline, which is something you code. So probably using a LLM.

Yea I’m not sure of OP’s ability and the requirements for games was vague. But IPX isn’t that big of a hurdle, DOSBox has an emulator for it: www.dosbox.com/wiki/connectivity
Bigger issues would be sourcing and playing some of these games on modern systems at all. And some dedicated servers can be a pain.

There’s a LAN party there every year. Seems about the best thing about it.
I inquired about why the Bustang that goes to to Colorado Springs doesn’t stop in Castle Rock. The Bustang employee heavily implied it was because Castle Rock just refuses to allow transit riders in their city. Castle Rock rather have a taxi budget for old people then do any form of public transit.

I was being slightly hypobolic. Because yes there are strawberries under 2000 as well. Even 800 yen is high compared to the states.

Japan also washes them. Just not all.
- Comment on eggs in japan 3 months ago:
Don’t worry. All the savings on eggs are destroyed by 2000 yen strawberries.

No, I’ve never experienced anything like that. Even in small towns. I’m sure it happens, but I don’t think it’s common as long as you’re respectful.
The worst thing I’ve personally seen were no foreigner signs on bars on new years eve.

Japan. I had an offer from an EU country that logically would have been a better choice. But I couldn’t resist my inner child/weeb.

As an American who just emmigrated, I guess I jumped. I can still vote from overseas, but I’m pessimistic about the future.
