Agree! Just a heads up for folks that you’ll likely want to download the Welcome Suica app which is aimed at tourists. The regular Suica app is separate and is not English-friendly (this may be worth it for you only if you’re staying long

I have nothing to offer except my recent dumb purchase. Could only find an out of print Moleskine black page artist notebook from a Canadian seller. It's important that it matches with a book I already have. Learn from my mistake: *

I agree the smaller the better - maybe a controversial opinion but I don't really think a few megabytes is a big concern. There's a much bigger elephant in the room in the form of phone apps - Facebook, TikTok, etc are over 300 m

It's comforting to me that this has been a challenge for many generations, the only difference is now the distractions are digital. From Zhuangzi, Warring States period in China (born around 369 BC): But to wear out your brain tr

Trying Not To Try by Slingerland is a great accessible introduction to the different modes of Chinese philosophy, and the two approaches to Daoism by Laozi and Zhuangzi are discussed. For more depth I highly recommend Van Norden's Intr

I think pjmorris is talking about the Raleigh Alamo which is great! They definitely are responsive to email feedback. They do have a 35mm projector but it seems rarely used, though I think they are trying to use it more recently. I don’t

+1 to Alamo Drafthouse, they have really good visuals, good sound, a strict no talking and no cell phone policy, and they show a lot of old films. They also serve beer and great milkshakes. Food is OK, could be better. But all around the

Angular 2 is a good example of something that didn't turn out so well. Many developers gave pause and ended up just migrating to a competing framework instead. I just skimmed through this but it looks like a decent summary: https:&#
