Ugh, came home from my Japan trip to find my roomate has thrashed the stove. He claims that he “burnt hand and dropped a pot on it”…

He didn’t even bother to clean up as well, saying that I’m a recovering alcoholic, who’s too sick. Well hire a cleaner then. It’s pretty poor form not cleaning, after I clean the place up before I go away.

I’m closer to the Wakayama side of Osaka, which is a more car dependent than other areas of Osaka though.

Fuel price in Osaka is 174 yen per a liter. Given the the AUD to Yen is almost at parity, I think we’re being ripped off at the pump.

The hotel I’m in has a Hitachi prefab bathroom.

Magic Wands, Bathrooms and Shinkansens. The trifecta.

Currently in Japan, and I wonder what the site inspection guy would think of the fact that nearly everything waterproofing related here is pre-fab.

It would send him out of business, but you do lose customizability.

It’s also changed a lot since I have last visited in 2019. Family Mart now has Self Serve, and 7/11 here has a lot more migrant workers.

As an engineer in the Aussie Telco industry, I know a lot of people that work for Telstra, or companies under the TPG group.

However I don’t know anyone that works for Optus.

I’m currently in Korea, however their drivers make Melbourne drivers look completely sane.

Red light running is common (however they have right turn on red), and no one stays in their lanes when turning.

Rule 1) It’s always DNS. Rule 2) If it’s not DNS, it’s a new DNS failure mode you’re not yet familiar with.

If a router or switch doesn’t detect an outage properly, or is misconfigured, you are still gonna have a bad day regardless of redundancy.

Damn, got a bag of shonky award winning PGR weed today. It doesn’t even smell.
