The one that came with the phone

Well it’s not like I’m going to just throw the dog in the washing machine, that’d just be cruel

Know how to count cards?

Most people would consider a house that’s 30-40 years old at end-of-life

That’s pretty interesting to me. The house I grew up in was built in the late 50s, as was the entire neighborhood, making it just under 40 years old by the time I was born, and it’s still there today, with the only major renovations being redoing the flooring and replacing appliances.

Is the shorter lifespan more of just a cultural thing, or is it a matter of how housing is built? Because I can certainly see the pricing if it’s the latter and it’s nearing the point of requiring major maintenance.

Thanks for the link, definitely an interesting time browsing. And sorry to keep bothering you about Japanese real estate, I’m sure you have more interesting things to think about, but looking at it, the offerings on the “under 20 million yen” page just seem absurdly too good to be true. Like, looking at something like This, 1100 square feet, seemingly fairly recent renovations and built in '94, parking for 3 cars, and only 35 minute walk from the station, yet it’s listed for 11.7 million yen/78k usd? Like, from an American perspective, it looks like some Craigslist scam to get your banking info. Is there something getting lost in between cultures? Is the Japanese market really just that much cheaper?

Poking around, there are freestanding houses as well in that range, but they cannot be rebuilt so you’re stuck with the existing structure

Could you link an example or something on whatever Japanese zillow is? Because this seems absolutely intriguing to me, if only to see what it looks like.

Reinvent the wheel? No, it’s time to reinvent outdated media formats!

Theoretically you could get it with little to no buffering by writing an analog TV signal to the disk, no?

The biggest issue would be that of security. Unlike a platform like Amazon marketplace, where you have Amazon processing the payment, and providing a fair bit of guarantee, this would be the wild west since anyone, anywhere could spin up an instance and start defrauding people and stealing their card info. Hell, even just flooding bogus listings would severely cripple usability.

Correct. There’s nothing shady about ignoring retarded laws for an irrelevant jurisdiction

There’s nothing shady about ignoring what eurotrash politicians want.

It’s EU garbage. The answer is that it doesn’t work and is designed to fuck people over

My guy, reddit doesn’t even care if your email is valid. Just use some keyboard spam like [email protected], it will accept it

Well obviously I’d not know it since it doesn’t exist.
