US citizen living abroad. Not going to happen in one presidential term and the US has probably permanently fucked itself in terms of special currency/status/soft power ever getting back to the level it was.

I always wanted Alice 3 to be a Soulslike personally

That would definitely keep me from buying it; I can't stand those sorts of games. I did like the first two, though, and still have the CD for the first one kicking around.

Is going to be earlier and waking just before things start heating up an option? Here in rural northeastern Japan, we do that to beat the heat of the day for work outside (getting up right around 4 or a bit before when days are their longest) and a lot of folks are asleep by 20 or 21.

Way too much German industrial/goth/IDM/whatever to mention.

人間椅子 (Ningen Isu) - 無情のスキャット (Heartless Scat) -- one I listen to somewhat frequently.

Linda Linda by the Blue Hearts is another.

千本桜 by 和楽器バンド (senbonzakura by wagakibando) is another I like because of the mix of traditional Japanese instruments and style along with modern ones.

For Japan specifically, some retailers want to use 3dsecure (or something like that; it's changed names and versions a few times over the years) which is only supported by domestic cards. Marketplaces that don't care about that might be fine, or they might disallow based on some other criteria.

Needs barbs, probably, and something better than tape.

I thought it was octopuxen?

OP: retired at 35.

It didn't sound like money was the issue here.

I need to get away from the gun in my safe calling me.

Running away only works for so long. As the great poet once said, wherever you go, there you are.

I would recommend professional help.

It is agreed to in the sense that it's part of the social contract. People not doing it could face social consequences.

Medical transcription has been a thing for years, so I find it interesting I don't recall hearing about it until now with AI. I guess it's not as popular a topic.

What he says, however, is a reason I don't like using AI for writing code or design work; I want to learn, know, and remember every part of the systems I have ownership in. Having AI do everything removes that.

 

Hello! I just got an SDR and decided to start listening. As a teen, I bought a scanner from someone and used to fall asleep listening to all the various different conversations. I decided I should probably start again and get my license (for which I am studying).

The SDR I got is "RTL-SDR Blog V4 R828D RTL2832U 1PPM TCXO HF Bias Tee SMA Software Defined Radio with Dipole Antenna Kit " and I'm able to pick up some things (various shortwave, FM, AM, nearest airport, etc.), however I can't seem to get the IBP beacon nearest me. This could be in part due to literal mountains between us, I suppose (Japan problems), but I hear no beacons on any of the listed frequencies.

I am using the di-pole antenna included in the kit, fully extended, attached to the east side of my house (about 3km away from the pacific, but I have mountains west and some taller hills north and south). "2x 23cm to 1 m telescopic antennas." is what it says so I suppose It's a bit over 2m tip-to-tip oriented vertically.

Should I be able to receive any of the IBP beacons with my antenna, position, and orientation? Am I doing something obviously wrong? I'm happy to go fish if you point me in the right direction, but my searching hasn't turned up anything useful so far (probably user error in that I don't know exactly what to search for).

Thanks very much!
