Not “The Ohio River” but “AN Ohio River, namely the Scioto”. Two different rivers.

Google maps generally does well in Japanese cities, but they’re mostly meant to be walkable anyway. It even knows about elevated routes over roads in many cities.

It’s not all art, especially when labels and PR folks are involved. How much say in set order or even content of an album the artists get varies.

This is true. I was thinking of some worst-case scenarios as to implementation where they decide that those people who gave birth to those children weren’t really American or whatnot. I would not put it past the administration to deny applications for any and every reason they think they can get away with.

Not that they care, probably, but doesn’t this run against UN conventions because these people would essentially be stateless?

Also their own licenses and licensing procedures.

If I do get them all digitized, I would be willing to send plenty of them off to museums if there is actual interest. I imagine there’s none here (Japan) for someone growing up in the rural great lakes area of the US, but someone somewhere might be interested.

Thanks for the link. I don’t think I much like it, but I have considered getting a decent-enough camera and building a jig to take digital photos of all my old pictures. I’m not sure if that would wind up being any better than a scanner. A scanner at least controls for lighting very well.

My grandmother started throwing away photos of people she no longer recognized as dementia set in. No one was aware of this until it was way too late.

I don’t have many pictures from my childhood. My grandparents took a couple of videos, but I doubt those VHS tapes survive.

One part of my wife’s family lost basically everything in a tsunami. They managed to find two mostly-recognizable pictures, so even a box meant to be passed down isn’t going to survive disaster.

I have a box of photos to scan, but I’ve never managed to get the scanner settings dialed in to where things look right to me and aren’t gigantic files. I suppose it’s OK, though; my family line dies with me so there’s no one on to whom to pass them anyway.

I literally had a coworker the other day tell me they couldn’t work on something at all because they were out of tokens. Outrank me, make more than me, and it’s a customer-facing issue that is likely part of an incident in production (nevermind that they apparently didn’t even know about the issue that I, not even on their team or product, found).

We also have another project that I took over when moving to my current team. Boss had AI write documentation because of course there was none. It was wrong almost as much as it was correct.

I moved back in 2015 and, while many things about my personal situation are better (though not all), that doesn’t solve the actual problem. Things happening in the US still impact the rest of the world no matter what.

I never played it, but I saw a video of it (LGR, I think?)

You need to help your uncle Jack off a horse.

If you don’t know how many calories you’re consuming, how do you know what to change? It also adds a mild bit of friction and makes one think more before consuming, which is not a bad thing. If you mostly eat processed stuff, many apps have a barcode scanner that, in many countries, already has all the info input by someone.

Your first step should be religiously recording every calorie you consume. Look at those numbers and decide where to cut.

I just picked it back up last night to do a new playthrough. I did one playthrough as a corpo before they reset all the perks and later released Phantom Liberty. Picked a streetkid this time. Only had a few hours to throw at it, but I’m quite enjoying playing again.

Remember that those are designed to cover asses and cater to people with many different levels of working immune system. You may or may not need to actually be anywhere near that strict in your own home.

I started to write about covering, but I don’t know the full sensor suite and I assume they can still collect a bunch of data. That sounds good as a first step, though.

Japan sells both an international version and a domestic version which is language-locked (and region-locked?) and I don’t think can get support outside of Japan. Pretty sure it will only work with a Japanese Nintendo account which, at least in the past, only worked with a Japanese credit card, though I’m not sure that’s true anymore. I don’t think it’s worth the hassle.

So the only thing that changed is that the area lost their own access to them at the termination date, but the camera companies still collect that data.

Sounds like the thing to do is take the cameras down
