Kind of. A college professor assigned a programming assignment for homework which I swear we had not covered the material required to implement it in class. They had however lazily assigned it from the textbook. So I went onto eMule (I know, right?) and found to teacher's guide and worked backwards from the solution to try to understand it. Then I wrote my own solution. It still didn't work perfectly though lol.

Oh once in high school, the smart kid memorised the multiple choice answers to the science test which they had in first period. They shared it at lunch time. We all memorised it or wrote it on something like an eraser. Needless to say, the next day, the whole class was given a new test and a firm talking to.

It's a clock, not a watch, and it could have been shot through the side, which is not visible from this perspective. ... and we are way overthinking this lol.

Use reader view to see the whole article.

Not uncommon here in Japan, either. People leave phones/handbags to reserve a table when they go to order at the counter (at a cafe etc). It's nice not to have to constantly worry about theft as much as other some countries. Not to say that there is no crime because that's not true.

I think everyone in this thread is right. We seem to be disagreeing over the use of the article 'a'.

The OP said it would be "100% profit" which is correct. This is in the general sense that they paid nothing so that any price would be pure profit.

You're talking specific numbers, hence it is "a 100% profit". Depending on the price it could be any percentage like "a 213.75% profit".

You're both correct! It's funny how English works, right?!

People don't really talk like that, at least not anymore.

But this comic strip is from 1988 lol

It makes sense though and is grammatically correct. It is the same as saying "I think he had better not (do that)"

I don't disagree that people who are overweight will feel hotter. The rainy season makes it feel hotter than just the temperature here, too. Buildings here are probably more poorly insulated, too.

Every home I have visited in Japan over the past two decades has had A/C units. You may be right that in regions where it is very cold an A/C unit may not be necessary. However, as heat pumps are one of if not the most energy efficient ways to not only cool but also heat a home, I wouldn't be surprised to find them even in colder regions.

Add on the fact that houses in Japan are generally considered a depreciating asset, so until recently demolitions and new construction were favored over renovations, I stand by my first statement.

Additionally, every place I have ever rented has come with at least one A/C unit, and additional holes are predrilled in other rooms so that split systems can be installed.

Conversely, AC is much less common in places like France and Japan, and it's not just because they're too cheap.

I assure you that practically every household in Japan has an air conditioner these days. Maybe not some decades ago but things have changed, including the climate. And companies are legally required to keep offices at no higher than 28°C, too.

Yep, did it yesterday morning. It was pretty painless. You can even add it out of hours, it just won't become usable until 8am.

Main benefit is that you can login to the portal site without the physical card.

Cool! What a great idea!

 

I have my font size set to S. After the recent updates (including the latest one today), the font size seems irregular unless it is set to system size. Toggling system size on then off temporarily fixes the problem. But the next time the app launched (after it has been killed), the problem returns. Attached are screenshots of before and after toggling.

Again thank you for all the awesome work. before 1 before 2 after 1 after 2

 

On the latest build here, but it’s been happening for a while now. There is no rhyme or reason, but now and then the default option reverts to all instead of my selection of subscribed. Not a huge issue but just putting it out there. Thanks for the great app!

 

Thanks for making this app.

The bar at the bottom seems to scroll up before being hidden when scrolling. I’ll attach a video in a moment to illustrate this.

Also I only noticed this after upgrading to ios18 last night.

 

Thanks for. All the hard work which you’re putting into the app. It is my favorite!

I was greeted with a beta expired message today.

Should I just start using the AppStore version? Will I lose any settings if I install it over the beta?

Thanks in advance

 

Has anyone else noticed that alarms and timers don’t reduce in volume if you are using the device, or when you pick up the device and it recognises you with Face ID anymore?

It’s really annoying to get a full volume alarm when you’re using the device.

iPhone 13 if it matters. Toggled attention aware on and off and also restarted the phone without luck.

Hi there, thanks for the great software. Currently on 0.4.1 (4), but I’ve noticed the bug on a few previous versions.

When viewing saved comments under the user profile, everything appears fine. However, if you try to scroll it instantly crashes back to the springboard. I have a suspicion that it is something to do with the fact that I have saved many comments which include YouTube links. Has anyone else noticed this?

Edit: switched to another account to play around, and I could replicate the crash just by saving a comment which contained an embedded picture.

A Japanese high court ruled Thursday that denying same-sex marriage is unconstitutional and called for urgent government action to address the lack of any law allowing for such unions.

The court does not have the power to overturn the current marriage law, which has been interpreted to restrict marriage as between a man and a woman. Government offices may continue to deny marriage status to same-sex couples unless the existing law is revised to include LGBTQ+ couples, or a new law is enacted that allows for other types of unions.

 

First, thank you for building this wonderful app.

This is my favorite feature of the app: the ability to return to the previous post by swiping from right to left.

With the latest TestFlight version, I noticed a new bug: the text size on the returning post is set to the system size, and once complete open, switches to the user’s choice of text size. The result is a little jarring.

To replicate, set the text time to something other than the system size. View a post, go back. And then swipe across to return to the post. You should be able to see the effect.

A group of Japanese citizens, including a man of Pakistani descent, is suing the country’s police, accusing authorities of racial profiling and discrimination.

 

I thought the seemingly constant requests to update or verify your information was supposed to stop this!
