Eliot Spitzer, the former governor of New York, faces a lawsuit from a co-op board that could upend his plans to build Upper East Side condos. The case centers on an unusual prize: ownership of a grimy concrete ditch behind a luxury apartment building. nyti.ms/3DFVZKS

I understand someone wants to get paid, but a video ad I can't close on my phone that takes up more than 1/4 of the screen is a bit much. Taken at the gematsu site
One of the best two-player game experiences I've had

Well, so much for disinformation research and network science, as the owner just decides to kick everyone in the teeth because he can't solve his botspam problem.

There are two or three houses going up at the same time, and the nail guns have been going crazy from exactly 8 a.m. ><
But I'm hoping after these are finished there will be no more construction in my area. For the first time in five years ;__;

New Obscusion B-List: The Oddities of Xbox's Backwards Compatibility Program
The Xbox 360, Xbox One, & Xbox Series all have some form of "BC", but 99.9% of the games supported are available worldwide or are North American-exclusive.
What about that 0.1%?

Domino's Japan cheddar bacon burger pizza? Extremely overpriced and disappointing. Even with 50% off this came out to 2,044 yen.
Ordered a regular ("about 27cm") and got under 25. Skimped on the cheddar. Meat was all right.

New number to call had no wait time, and the person was helpful. And then she said it takes about 2 hours for the system to send the new e-mail 😭

After multiple calls and around 40 minutes on hold total, got a hold of someone. Turns out the confirmation e-mail doesn't send to overseas servers like gmail.
Have to call another number now to try and change my registered e-mail address to a yahoo.co.jp one. Ugh

Called exactly at 9 a.m. when the phone line opens, and it's already busy. Is there only one person offering support for the entire country?

And the e-mail support basically told me to check my spam folder, which, in my initial message, I told them I already did. 🙃

After 48+ hours with no e-mail, I tried two phone calls to immigration to get my login stuff settled. First call auto-disconnected after 11 mins because it was too busy. Second call I stopped after 6 mins.
Tried support e-mail. Response was to call to get help. ugh #cooljapan

A 7zip file.
Quite a complex archive format, allowing compressions to be chained, using several input streams...

Anyone done their JP visa renewal online? Registered to use the service, but been more than 24 hrs and haven't received the confirmation email to proceed with the process.
Thinking I'll have to go in person again =(

Two girls just came out of the public restroom with Baskin Robbins ice cream. 🍨
I knew women's restrooms sometimes have nice amenities, but ice cream is a first lol
