Would this model work? Creators themselves PAY to upload/host something. Their in-video ads are what allows monetization. No adds at all from youtube. Uploading COSTS money, maybe a few dollars. Creators make their money solely from sp

Front derailleur: On higher-end bicycles, it is becoming a rarity with single narrow-wide tooth front rings. To make up for this loss of gear, rear cassettes have gotten wide and wider reaches (bigger big cogs and smaller small cogs.) Most

A fairly common story for people with a fork that has never had maintenance: 1. "It works fine" 2. Get a shop to rebuild it for a surprisingly low fee 3. "Holy smokes, I had no idea my fork could be this good!" Basically

They do this in Japan occasionally. I've been on (officially organized by the railroad company) beer trains, wine and cheese trains, local food-tasting trains, etc. Last time, it was like 5,000 yen. All-you-can drink local beer, 2 hour

I love it! Even for the lift/shuttling-bike-park crowd, I bet many places would happily install cleat-matching pedals (or your own), your saddle... maybe your grips if you are picky?

In my observation, reviews (in general) are different in Japan. Look at something simple like google maps reviews of restaurants or clinics. The bad reviews are often extremely personal and not really representative of what most people woul

Even as an avid cyclist who fully understands geometry and the personal connection one may have to one's bike, I agree with you. Privileged enough to fly somewhere specifically to ride bicycles? C'mon, I think you can find a good

The difference is this: At a mega-crowded beach during peak season where people come to party and hooligans like to show off, let's say Izu's Shirahama for example, there'll be maybe a dozen of such big stupid trucks in total

For fun reference: Ford F150 width = 240cm price = starts at 8,000,000円 __ Kei Truck width = 148cm (maximum by law) price = top model 1,600,000円

It isn't just slow or distracted drivers. It is congestion. It is too many cars, and the impossible task of making them all "go" at the same time. What we need is fewer cars and better shared transportation. Heck, we should r

The ones working illegally will absolutely not be so publicly visible. They'll be doing construction, factory work, trucking, night work, etc. I have no idea about stats of "illegal immigrants" in Japan, because that could me

Westerners in Tokyo is less that 0.5% of the city's population. Definitely not overrun.

There are so many cool things like this all over Japan, and only a very small percentage of them get completely run-over with international tourists. Even an hour or two outside of Tokyo, many not-so-hidden treasures like this can be found.

Shhh... don't tell them about Japan. We have most of the above! In all seriousness, the language barrier among other things makes it a pretty big challenge to permanently move here.

And yet, somehow, it's a generally pleasant country to live in with happy healthy people and opportunity. Though, that momentum Japan's been running on seems to be running out.

I don't think the grey-haired dinosaur politicians are sexist, classist (is that a word?) and racist because they love to apologize.

I was definitely neither ridiculing nor suggesting they depart from their cultural values. I actually appreciate Japan's strong preference for domestic foods; the positive health aspects, the cultural ties, the community building, and

It's rather quite the opposite in Japan. The "more-equal-animals" consistently make public completely oblivious remarks, only to apologize the following day and then (often) just go back to business as usual.

Honestly, I think the average Japanese person wouldn't care that much after they tried it a few times. Especially upon noting the significant monthly savings. There's almost no imported rice even available here, and the propaganda

No phones in the bedroom. Go to bed at a reasonable time. If you haven't read in a while, grab some graphic novels! Two personal recommendations are "Saga" and "Sapiens."
