Whenever I buy something with a zipper I check that it’s YKK first.

If it isn’t, I know there’s a good chance they’re cheaping out on other places as well.

Congratulations!

I just checked when I started using VWO, and found a really nice exchange between you and me from Fri, Dec 11, 2009.

VWO is still the absolute best split testing tool out there. You deserve all the success.

Note that if you don’t go during the festival, the downtown is pretty much dead. There is a nice knife shop that caters to tourists (刃物センター blade center) but the festival is definitely the best part of the year.

You are 100% correct. Land is valuable, houses & buildings are not.

The small house on my land has decreased to the point where I pay less than $100 a year in taxes on it.

The land that it's on has increased by around 30x in the last 50 years.

We had a similar thing happen in our town -- pachinko place went bust, and they bought it.

Next town over they bought an old local supermarket (again, with huge amounts of floor space)

So, interesting workaround for Netflix: If the language of your account is set to something other than English, it unlocks subtitles and dubs for that language that you wouldn't normally have access to.

My wife and kids have their Netflix UI set to Japanese, which allows them to access Japanese language and subtitles for movies that support it, even though they're not available on my English-language Netflix.

I'm in the middle of nowhere, so in my case I would need a smattering. However, almost all doctors can read/write English, even if they can't speak it. I've had 80 year old doctors proudly write down the word rheumatism, where I can barely get by with spellcheck.

In bigger cities, you'll definitely be able to find doctors who can speak English easily.

I'm heading back from Japan today, and my family got a bunch of checkups and medical stuff done while we were here.

Even without insurance all our procedures cost total less than ~$100 apiece.

The most expensive thing I've ever had in japan was my full body workup last year for $500.

It included: stomach ultrasound, 5 blood tests, eye exam, MRI(brain) and barium scan. All without insurance.

By comparison, in the US I was charged $1200 to get my daughters arm cast changed (no xray, just a nurse changing the cast), and $800 for an ultrasound.

It is literally cheaper to fly to Japan and get treatment without insurance than to use my health insurance that I pay $1300/month for.

Also, as a bonus, because of the set prices of medical procedures in Japan, insurance is super cheap. For a family of 4 it was costing me around $500/month when I used to live here.

Question about how these UI Kits are made:

Generally when I'm building a UI on top of bootstrap, I import all the LESS files into my project, and then compile them together with my project LESS files.

This lets me, for example, change the brand-primary color, or the base font size, etc, without having to override every component that might use that variable.

However, this UI Kit, as well as a number of other kits I've seen take in the pre-compiled Bootstrap CSS and override each item individually.

Is this the preferred way to do UI Kits? If so, what's the reasoning behind it? We build a lot of themes and UIKits for internal use, and would love to know if we're doing it wrong (tm).

I saw one of these here in Portland yesterday driving home. Didn't realize it was a Model 3, just thought I was seeing some body-mod for the Model S.

I was curious, so I asked Siri your question: what is the last name of Susan from Britain's got talent? She successfully answered Boyle.

One of the. Eat distinctions in this article is the difference between a great worker and a great remote worker. I've worked with many people who were brilliant, but couldn't get the remote part to work with their lifestyle.

Also, as an aside, their option box is a word-for-word copy of Neil patel's. "from aha to oh shi*t..."
