I came up with a joke:
Elon changed the name to β€œX” because now it’s our β€œEx” social media platform!

Get it?

You all owe me royalties if you use this joke now, thank you.

No, I won’t be checking to see if anyone else came up with this before me.

Spotted in Miramar. Ugh. But cute dogs.

So I bought it, was given a Booking Number and a Voucher number, neither of which work as an Order number or Redeem Code on the website.

Has anyone tried out the Buy 1 get 1 free option for HSR in Taiwan? Is it just me or is it overly complicated? I'm required to download 2 different apps? I first buy the ticket from a third party and then hope that the discount code works on the HSR website? And some websites are saying it's not valid anymore. Does anyone know? I have a friend visiting soon and would like to use it.

Btw, I'm talking about this deal: https://en.thsrc.com.tw/ArticleContent/a6df5f2d-856a-4142-b1d1-2ec7714e2f7a

Anyone else remember how in the late nineties different movie studios were releasing the same movie at the same time and it seemed really petty?

Like Armageddon vs. Deep impact, Antz vs. A Bug's life, Volcano vs. Dante's Peak? I'm sure there were others.

Just noticed my #Webinar for Proz is still available!

Obviously the webinar already took place, but if you join you still get access to the recording, Q&A, certificate, and can ask me questions of your own, so probably still worth it!

May 2024 Workshop: Agency Owner presents: How to tackle AI and get hired in 2024

Set up everything you need to hit the ground running as a Freelance Translator with the help of AI. Take care of these points right at the beginning, and you won't have to worry about them again!

Just occurred to me that I may have been among the first who were recruited online, for a job in another country to boot.

In 1996 I saw a posting for a bartending job at Grafenkeller, in the Mosel Valley. I used my Compuserve email to apply. We agreed on a salary and I took the train to head there for the summer, sight unseen.

It turned out wonderful and I made some great friends (whom I've unfortunately lost touch with).

I only have 6 very grainy photos. Here's one of them:

To be clear, I found this: https://www.jrhokkaido.co.jp/global/pdf/MajorTrainTimetable.pdf, but it doesn't coincide with the times shown here: https://www.eki-net.com/en/jreast-train-reservation/reserve/wb/RouteSearchMethodSelect/Index. Is either one official? I can't find anything on the App.
Desperately searching for the JR timetable from Chitose Airport to Hakodate. Does JR East just not have an online timetable? I'm trying my search in Japanese too, but no luck.
