I feel like he's got a DOGE-requiring ace up his sleeve that will prevent that... but maybe in 2026!

If all goes well, I should get my permanent residency here in Japan in a couple more months; I'm just waiting on all the paperwork to get done (probably may-june).

I'm looking forward to eating fresh veg right off the farm, but that's not going to start super soon (well, from my own farm, anyway; some locals have hot-houses and are already producing various things).

I'm hoping to get my amateur radio license this year as well, but I don't really have much time to study (fulltime job + running a small farm business) so we'll see on that one.

Ooh, I'll wanna get your callsign and lisyen to your farm reports.

Whats the Ham license exams like in Japan?

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Japanese and full of law references and the history of laws that needed to be memorized. I'm going to take the online US licensing test and convert.

Yeah that sounds awful. I am doing the full UK and they give you a reference booklet for the exam that covers a lot of the basic rules like that to crib from. Only thing I do not like with the UK exam is having to memorize the block diagrams for all the different transceivers, completely pointless IMO as who would troubleshoot or build a transceiver without an online reference in this day and age?

Best of luck with your exam!

Re filling my emergency fund after buying my house. It's mostly depleted now, so I'm working on getting it back up!

[–] Jourei@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

Let's gooo! I have a very similar financial thingy scheduled for autumn this year, excited about that.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 8 points 1 day ago

Making friends.

My resolution for the new year was to be more social and it's going alright so far.

[–] TokenEffort@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

Moving out and finally experiencing childhood at 27.

[–] SomGye@dormi.zone 7 points 1 day ago

Hopefully getting to eat again at certain local Mexican restaurants and playing games with friends. That's about it.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Seeing my honey tomorrow.

You joke, but here's the thing... neither of the two heart attacks I had felt like heart attacks.

Thought the first one was just bad heartburn. Fought it for FIVE DAYS. In my defense, it started 3 days after Thanksgiving and I DID have that extra plate of sweet potatoes.

2nd one, I was just having a hard time breathing. No pain. At all. Doc had changed up my meds, sent me to the ER to get checked, had the heart attack IN the ER.

Feel something weird? Ask your doctor. Goes on for more than 24 hours? Get help ASAP. Don't do what I did.

Dude, that is rough. I’m 52, so very much in the killzone. 🙈 Glad you are OK, look after yourself!

[–] missingno@fedia.io 3 points 1 day ago

Still waiting for more info on it, not to mention games, but I'll almost certainly be buying a Switch 2.

I'm interested in seeing if Nightreign will be anything good since I didn't get into the play test and the only thing I've seen covering it are fairly biased. That's pretty much it for me.
