Probably like 1.75 miles this time. I tried pushing myself a bit further to run instead of immediately walking when I got tired. I could probably push myself a bit harder though. Not coughing up blood yet.

I didn’t realize how intensive it is to cut down trees with an axe. Was doing it on a small dead one out in the yard and whacked it until I tired myself out and was only halfway through. Old lumberjack’s must’ve been fucking ripped to do this on multiple large trees back in the day.

I guess it depends on the tree and how well maintained your axe is. Something like pine is easier vs a hardwood tree. There's probably also some technique involved with how you swing, I imagine cutting with a slight angle down to engage with the grains is a lot better at removing material than chopping straight on.

Nobody wants to talk with you. Nobody wants to interact with you. If you think people being forced to do so is a good thing then that's hilarious and part of the main reason nobody wants to do it. 4meme is just a place for people to congregate without having to make accounts, nobody wants to "interact" with some random schizophrenics that don't even know what the thread is about and are inevitably part of the cancer demanding consistent 24/7 low effort posts to feed their (You) hunger. You're just seething people are actually talking about something that they enjoy instead of whatever /v/ is seething about today.

Do you have any experience gardening?
I decided that I'm going to attempt gardening this year. My dad grew up on a farm and we had crops in the backyard when I was a kid. I still have the old tilling machine that's in good shape and some other rusty tools, but I don't have a hammer to mine silver from nearby rocks so I won't be able to upgrade the stuff.
I think it's too late for my geographic location to start growing early Spring stuff from seeds, so I need to buy some that are already a few weeks old from a local nursery, or maybe online? This stuff sounds kind of fun as long as your expectations are reasonable.

I got tired of losing so many things to localized flooding so I dug some decent sized ditches. About 5 inches deep, or 12.7cm according to google.
Tilling through and shoveling clay is NOT fun.

I know this is far from an unpopular opinion, but Frank Zappa is the best. He'd compose some of the most sophisticated Western music of the 20th century, and then name it things like "The Grand Wazoo" because he could.

I find it interesting that most of what he did was jazz and rock, because his background is classical, as are his biggest influences. It's one of those things you can really hear as soon as you're told.

Have you done anything to change your hikikomori ways recently? Anonymous 03/28/25 (Fri) 17:47:08 No.141227 [Reply]

Sometimes it’s beneficial to be able to come out and communicate a bit. For example, just today I held back vomiting when approaching a neighbor about picking up some brush on her curb. And she said it was fine to take! So I got myself a shitload of good firewood for no cost at all.

Now you may be thinking to yourself, “That’s impossible! I can’t do that!”, but trust me, you can. It’s pretty easy too, only took me a bit over a month to work up the resolve to ask!

yeah. I'm not saying that what someone does has to be the best for society, and I think a certain youtube person said it best: You probably don't want to even be working with these people who don't want to work.
But in the context of NHK where the protagonist collects cash from his parents and watches all of his friend circle and their dreams fall apart... the idea is that having their financial needs fulfilled doesn't mean that things are solved.

Anonymous 03/30/25 (Sun) 15:13:09 No.141346

actually, the more I think about it. NHKs message is that people's fulfillment isn't tied to their ability to earn money. The pyramid scheme arc reminds me of this messaging. You can debate if the arc was a happy end or not, but what I agree with from the author is that the happy end was not about the money

Went out and got myself a nice splitting log for the wood. Now all that’s left is for it to dry. In the meantime asked a landscaping friend of my father about some dead trees on a property they have. So should still be able to use it this year.

Feels kinda nice getting materials for my own BBQ. Though not sure I’ll go the extra mile to get a cow to butcher because I’m not too into killing animals. Would rather just get my meat from a butcher.

We are in the middle of a trend of guys dropping out of the workforce to get by on welfare/parents and they don't reproduce at all because they don't have the resources to waste doing anything but loafing around the house watching youtube. There needs to be a gap where those that don't work can't survive and those that do work generate enough excess to raise children.

>>141346
The message is about not enabling people. NEETism is a drug, they desperately try to justify their addiction with mental gymnastics even when everyone around them can see their lives are falling apart because of it. They don't have the willpower to break out of the spiral on their own, so you have to cut them off and let the physical damage to their bodies force them to get past it.

I've been quite bored recently and would like to play through some classic games that I haven't tried, with Final Fantasy being the first. However there are many games and I don't know where to start. I recieved some advice last year which suggested starting with 1, 5 or 10 - but 5 is apparently offputting due to being too lighthearted - and focusing on 6, 7 and 10 apart from that. 8 is also apparently quite good but very weird.

Story-wise they're all isolated from each other, so that's not an issue. You should probably see if you can "tolerate" something like Final Fantasy 4 with its pixel graphics. If you can't, then move on to 7. If you can, but you find the story uninteresting, then try 6.
Never played the NES stuff apart from 1 very briefly.

Going to Japan this summer, and I really want to avoid sticking out as some obnoxious foreigner. I was wondering if there's any helpful tips for how to conduct oneself or what'd really stick out to wear around so I can avoid packing it. It seems like a country that's pretty tolerant so it's not like I'll get beat up for just being a normal tourist, but I also don't want to come off as some unkempt freak who gets judged everywhere I go. To maximize my enjoyment of the trip I've been looking to find out what is and isn't acceptable and what's social faux pas or things to avoid.

For example, I was reading up on Japanese law recently and learned that under Act No. 52 of 1999 it's actually illegal to buy JCs off the streets. Which is just an important reminder to /qajp/ that you should always check the laws of where you're going to!

Sounds like some sort of super ticket thing?
Convenience and peace of mind. If there's one super ticket you can buy to ensure a safe, uneventful trip then I can see people jumping on it instead of dealing with a dozen different tickets with a dozen different points of failure in a country of strangers where there is very likely a language barrier. Vacations are luxuries after all, so removing a point of potentially mind-breaking stress is something I would personally buy if I ever found myself in such a position. Although I don't think people with that level of anxiety would travel, so who knows. Just convenience for retirees and stuff then?

we're talking like 25k¥ vs 50k¥ though. The values I posted of 585$ were if I also included occasional VIP travel. I guess it's good to not have to use the machines though or figure that stuff out. I guess it's a cheaper alternative to having to work the ticket machines and hope they have an english language button(seems like most do)

It's a "speedrun" channel of, well, really long games. Lots of RPGs and stuff, but also 100% categories. I don't know how youtube holds all this stuff.
I guess if you're going to spend some time in a cave all by yourself and you have an internet connection this could keep your entertained for a while.

This video was cool. It's interesting to see that performance gap between stone and wooden tools and metal tools isn't as big as media makes it out to be. There's also a surprising level of craftsmanship and technical knowledge going into making these tools, like spears using the trunk end of a tree as the main point as the wood there is harder, or knapping techniques to strike off the exact shapes they need.

Another box. They've been coming out less and less wonky, although they're still far from perfect.

I've gotten into collecting encyclopedias and reference sets. With how suggestible LLMs are, I'm wary of the truth of things becoming increasingly murky and want to have something I can rely on as being authoritative and truthful. I've gotten quite a few so far. The plan is to digitize all of them into searchable PDFs so that I can essentially have one big reference set, encompassing multiple viewpoints. Having one of those RAG LLMs that can only pull info from files might also be neat.

My collection currently consists of:
- Encyclopedia Britannica (1989)
- Collier's Encyclopedia (1965)
- Funk & Wagnall's Encyclopedia (1989)
- The Volume Library (1911)
- World Book Encyclopedia (1963)
- World Book Encyclopedia (1976)

I'd like to be able to get a few more. The one's I'm looking at adding to the collection are:
- The Volume Library (~1960 - 2010)
- The Young Students Encyclopedia (1985)
- World Book Encyclopedia (1940)
- World Book Encyclopedia (2017)

hmmm well one problem with this is that you'll have a lot of decades-old outdated information
in particular one topic i'm investigating was famously covered quite badly by encyclopedias in the past, and tons of books and papers from the last thirty years have had to argue against the popular conception that's come down from 18th-19th century myths which are still treated as fact outside of specialized literature
i think it's a solid idea but you should definitely watch out, especially with those that are more than 4-5 decades old

That's certainly true, but it's also desirable in some circumstances. For example, an encyclopedia from 1989 is in theory going to have more information on the Soviet Union than an encyclopedia from the last 20 years simply by virtue of the Soviet Union being extant at the time of writing. I also think it's desirable to have viewpoints across time as a reference for how understandings may have changed.

>in particular one topic i'm investigating was famously covered quite badly by encyclopedias in the past
What topic is that?
