@benoit @codewiz @globalc Dear Japan experts, do people drink Calpis there, or is it out-fashioned? From what I can remember, I don't think I saw it much in the vending machines during my various holidays.

#japonais Le mot pour « cahoteux », « accidenté », « bosselé » est visuellement suggestif: 凸凹 (dekoboko), composé des kanjis « convexe » et « concave ».

@codewiz I never had to think about the plural for "Rolex" 😂

@codewiz
Maybe it looks complicated because they have a process similar to trains where the staff use hand gestures and describe actions to be sure that none is missed.

@codewiz
This one was huge in France. There it is called "Goldorak".
Probably due to the numerous anime broadcasted in the 80s/90s, France became the 2nd largest market for manga (still 17 less than Japan I think), and half of the comics there are manga (and there is a big tradition of franco-belgian comics)

#Végétarien, j'ai testé l'Original Veggie King de Burger King, avec un fin faux steack de Boucher Végétarien (Unilever). Résultat: je ne crois pas avoir senti un goût de viande, les saveurs perceptibles étaient le fromage, la sauce et les cornichons.
J'avais mangé un hamburger à base de faux steak « Beyond Meat » et là ça ressemblait vraiment à de la viande (en goût et texture), et le faux steak était plus épais.

@benoit
I use that (Mozc) the few times I type in jp (slowly)
@codewiz

@benoit @codewiz You who have lived in Japan, did you see the natives typing in Japanese on a computer keyboard using romaji or kana with the jp IME? From the few videos I've seen, they use romaji. It surprised me because I assumed only foreigners would do that, but apparently it's more convenient.

@codewiz @kaia It could be possible to create a design inspired from this one that would require removing N locks out of X to allow a latch to slide.

@codewiz Thanks! I did not know this type. I have an Abus Bordo (about the same principle). I bought it after someone almost stole my bike (he just cut my cable lock; a type nobody should use excepted in Japan)

@codewiz What's this thing in the middle of the frame (between the saddle and the chainset)? A lock? If yes, what kind of lock? A cable lock?

@codewiz
That's super sad. The desk looks great.
