I’ve found that in themes that use WPBakery or ACF for layout is that there is definitely a happy path that involves swapping your text into one of their provided templates and calling it a day.

Even ~10 years ago the shitty shared hosting I used had a one-click WP install, so if they still do that, that’s an an option. Otherwise Bedrock+Trellis is fairly straightforward to setup on a VPS if you have time to do that.

If you just want to type with no(ok, less) pain the classic editor plugin is a good starting point. I think Gutenberg has a chance to get good but it’s main problem is that no one is using it because no one is using it, because they are alr

The mirror being between the sensor and lens means that there is a dead zone where there can be no lens, which severely restricts lens designs. For example, for many years fast normal lenses on SLRs were 58mm “Biotar” not 50mm because a a n

Their shift to Thailand has happened over many years, since around 2015 the only camera bodies they have made in Japan were their flagship digital (and one film) models.

Nikon have slowly been moving their camera body manufacturing to Thailand for 20+ years, starting at the bottom and moving to the top. Agreed on customer service. Nikon still make many of their top tier lenses in Japan as well. I don’t see

I think that’s because the original brand of MSG anywhere is Ajinomoto 味の素 which means essence of flavor. 味塩 is the same thing but comes mixed with salt.

You might be onto something with the name theory. In JP it’s commonly called “flavor salt”, and there is no sign of anti-MSG anywhere

Japanese law requires the police to prove that you were speeding beyond reasonable doubt, so posted speed limits are all 20km/h+ under the de facto speed limit. It leads to absurd situation like expressways with a posted 60km speed lim

It was in excellent condition other than that, so I don’t think age matters. Do you think it’s reasonable to buy a whole new car because the tires are worn out?

Apple just works until it doesn’t. I have used Apple products for many years but a a perfectly fine 2013 15” MBP dying on me because of bad RAM has made me reconsider. That’s something that should be a cheap and quick replacement
