Most OSs provide theme toggles by default, thus it has conditioned people to also expect it from websites. Arguably, I personally loathe it when the site has no dark mode cough Amazon cough as I'm doing some late-night shopping on

Depends on the location, the alert comes usually as soon as the initial tremors are registered. If you're at the epicenter, tough luck. For example, for me in Tokyo, the alert came 2 minutes before it hit, and even then, the actual ear

Having followed some tourists coming to Japan, a large amount of the people appreciate convenience, and the rail pass gives them that. The price is secondary. Hell, there are even people paying the equivalent of 100 USD just to have someone
