That's probably true in practice but it doesn't have to be. In Japan they have train passes which effectively give you cashless money. They don't require you to register them. To add money you can put them in a machine and ad

my experience in k-town is going to BCD-Tofu at 2am and them having the door locked. You knock, they look outside to see if they feel you are safe to let in. Sorry but I don't want to live in a place where businesses have to take such

I find this to be some of the most racist shit I've ever read. Gees I can't believe the comments here. Singapore is one of the safest countries in the world. When I've brought up how much I like Singapore someone always retor

> The pamphlet patiently explains that you’re allowed to photograph anything visible from public land. this might be true in the USA but it is definitely not true in Japan. People's right to privacy trumps your right to take picture

Do you have a place in mind where these things are not common? Like I have friends from Tennessee with colored hair, colored contacts, and like to wear bright "harajuku" style fashion. but sure, I'm positive there's some

Why is it an app only? When I cook and follow a recipe I use my laptop as the screen is bigger and I can more easily press the keys with dirty fingers than I can a touch screen.

It's depressing how there's so little VR for Apple. Maybe they'll blow us all way with the iPhone of VR soon but at the moment my Macs have no VR love. To make this related, I was prompted to this thought by the fact that the

And yet all over the world plenty of cities people rich and less rich ride public transit all the time in close quarters with one another. Go ride the public transit in Paris, London, Singapore, Hong Kong, Seoul, Tokyo, just to name a few.

I'm curious about ancient history when the author of the history apparently wrote it 100+ years after it happened. I can't imagine anyone alive today writing with much authority about 1922. Why should I believe someone like Herodo

Tesla wasn't the first. I don't know who was but I know the differences in many printers are software only. The differences in many GPUs (Nvidia Quadro vs non-Quadro) are just drivers. I don't know where to draw the line. I h

The list is kind of arbitrary. I don't feel the Amiga UI had any influence on anything what so ever. I was a huge Amiga fan and owned an Amiga 1000 the year it launched and then an Amiga 500 later but other than Amiga's unique mul
