What? Elections in Japan?

They are invisible, just like the "green" party in a bipartisanship. But you can pool them with the reds as that's who they favour.

Non-american here, what does the werewolf represent? (Or is it just because it's cool?)

My take is that best case scenario you'd arrive roughly at the same time you left.

If you have breakfast in London at 8am, then make it to the airport by 8:30, you're at the gate at 9:30 after one hour of security and controls, and you've made it exactly at the time when boarding starts, which usually is 45 minutes before takeoff on most airlines. You take off at 10:15, arrive at 11:45 (which is 6:45 local time), then still have to go through half an hour of border control and getting out of the airport, and then another half an hour to get to the city centre and have a coffee.

You'd still arrive at about 8:30, but I don't see the whole ordeal taking any less than 5 hours.

I routinely take a 1.5 h flight to visit my family and while I'm a fair bit away from the airport, I don't think I've ever managed to get door-to-door in less than 8 hours. 6 if we are measuring departures lounge to arrivals.

One of the best designs to ever come out of Renault and probably the best minivan ever (obviously in the context of its era, anything more modern will be quieter, more refined etc).

It looked futuristic, luxurious in the high trims (somewhat resembling the Range Rover in that picture), it was spacious... And full of functional features.

Being able to do this on a road trip to stop for lunch feels like such a nice feature to have:

It literally took me months to get through the character creator in MH World. Even that was so dense that I would get bored before finishing.

I think it's probably safe to say that they're not games for ADHD individuals.

Ooooh this sounds like my sort of game. I love visual novels and things like that, I really enjoyed GTA V because of the story (the dialogs are downright hilarious). I might give DS a try then.

I hope AMD keep pushing to do things well, because right now the value proposition of anything with an Intel processor is more ridiculous than when Apple charges $300 for an extra 8GB of RAM. Their $600 processors currently offer performance on par with the entry-level Apple Silicon M4. Which is great news for Apple, but not for anyone who wants to use Linux or "the other Mainstream OS".

Something I find incredibly weird about US company culture is how they talk about overtime like it's a good thing.

"Our employees worked weekends, days and nights to make this happen! We wouldn't have succeeded without people who are willing to give up their personal lives!"

I hope they not only succeed but get shares. Doing weekends or nights for a company you don't (partially) own feels like a con.

I don't think our marriage would be of the kind they approve in Alabama, if you catch my drift

I'm Spanish (we don't change names after marriage there), and my (British) partner wants to take my name. Rationally I know that's typical in the UK. But subconsciously, I feel like the people who share last names are siblings. I don't want to feel like my partner and I are siblings, that's so weird!!

The second amendment talks about the right to keep and bear arms, not to purchase them.

They are free to buy them in the imaginary country they belong to, following their imaginary regulations.
