When I first moved here I was quick to learn that it was considered impolite or rude to walk and eat.

It is frowned upon unless in certain settings (festival, food trucks etc) generally. However, it seems to be changing a bit with the younger generation.

However, parents still teach their children that it is not something that should be done.

And I generally don’t do it as it makes me self conscious. I’d prefer to stop and “pull over” to eat or drink something.

Also for SEO when they are online.

I feel like nobody here read the actual article.

I agree. Most people are acting like they are killing off the whole product line (of which there is only one product currently). However, the article clearly states that a second generation product is in the works.

Oh, yes. It seems fixed. Thanks!

I see. I mean, Apple had printers in the early 90s (or earlier perhaps) but they were just rebadged HPs.

If you’re looking for color calibration you might want to look for a professional grade printer. Dye sublimation printers will offer the best quality for photography, which I assume is what you want a printer for, especially since you mention color calibration.

And dye sublimation printers are not compatible with apple’s airprint, so this could be a viable endeavour were Apple the enter the printer market again. But, I just don’t think there is demand for such a product. The printer market for consumers is already flooded with options, and most of them work just out of the box with Apple products.

Are you having any particular problems with your printer and Apple devices?

How would you define “works in a really easy way”? I don’t have any problem with current printer technology. What issues are you encountering? HP is a steaming pile of manure. But Brother and EPSON both make excellent models.

Thanks for the awesome work. Glad to be a help.

Does the aftershave contain alcohol? There are usually shipping restrictions on things like perfume because of this.

I’ve had companies write clauses in their employee manual which states you must apply and get approval for using your paid vacation days a month in advance. When you sign the contract, you agree to these rules.

The thing is, where I live, there is no requirement to receive approval, and you really only need to give one day of notice (which has precedent in court). The use of these days off if the employee’s legal right.

The really shitty thing is that companies can legally write illegal clauses in their contracts, they just can’t enforce them. However, if an employee is young and doesn’t know their rights, they will just follow the rules blindly (I know I did).

Also, leave only accumulated for two years here, so you have to use it or lose it.

So the moral of the story is to educate yourself on your local labor laws.

I’ll save you guys from watching. It was just a bog standard crappy USB C cable. This video reeks of advertising to me. The tool which was used to identify the cable (which tbh I thought was pretty cool, so I searched it using the obvious hints in the video) is a kickstarter which is starting sometime today. Awfully sus!

Thanks. I’ve already got it!

Great to hear, thanks! I’ll keep my eyes peeled.

Thanks. I’ll do that then!

Justice of the Peace

The world needs more people like you!

Japan here. I’ve never seen them.

Zero here for me. You using an ad blocker?

It’s not about losing face. It is the fact that seishain, or permanent employees are very hard to fire. The company needs to keep a record of the employee’s failures.

In addition, the company needs to implement and execute improvement plans. The results of those need to be reviewed. The next plan has to be implemented. And so on.

Only when they fail to show improvement a certain number of times (I don’t know exactly) can they be legally fired. You can’t just fire someone like in the U.S. style of at will employment. That would be a lawsuit waiting to happen.

So it is easier and cheaper to “persuade” the employee to resign.

However, this terrible behavior is considered to be power harassment, and all large companies now have ethics hotlines. Also, companies have to provide annual trainings on issues like this. So, I hope this practice is decreasing.

Thanks! I’m in Japan, but glad to know this exists!

I think this is something that is better provided by government. I think the question should be why doesn’t California have an early warning alert system similar to the likes of Japan, which will notify all cellphone and smartphone users in affected areas regardless of their brand of device?
