Air France has a PAR -> Osaka (KIX/ITM) -> TOK ticket that is considerably cheaper than PAR-KIX.

My final destination is TOK, but I don't mind staying a few days in Osaka, and would much rather get a high-speed train that do a 10h layover that requires me to change airport (KIX and ITM are quite far apart): even with train ticket, this is still cheaper than a direct PAR-TOK flight by some margin.

What are the odds that skipping the ITM-TOK leg on my outbound flight, which is a JAL codeshare, will result in the cancellation of my AF return ticket?

So, I thought this was a mere Stupid Question unworthy of its own post, but turns out, based on the mostly off-topic/irrelevant replies, that this isn't as stupid as I thought… So here goes:

1. We all know (from dutifully reading through our Jp Driver's ed manuals) that "official speed limit on Jp expressways is 90[/100] km/h" (with some variations depending on which highway)

2. Absolutely every single expressway I've been on, has near constant signed reminders to stay under 80, very often 70 (not to mention inside Tokyo itself, where 60 is quite common). To be clear, these signs do not have any mentions of applying

[bit of an odd request for this sub, but considering how Japan-specific USEN is, this seems a better option than more general electronics subs.]

Flat (/building?) has a USEN 440 system that plays music through a bunch of ceiling-mounted speakers: https://imgur.com/a/b7tFX1A

My hope is that there's a somewhat easy way to rewire it, so I can hijack the audio out, and plug a Bluetooth amp instead of this apex of Showa technology.

So far, however, the wiring looks a bit opaque (I'm not even 100% certain this is where the audio cables run through)…

Has anyone ever played with that kind of electronics? Any recommendation/opinion/tips?

Aside from Any-times and Curama, are there any good Japanese sites to find freelance people for typical taskrabbit-like stuff (running random errands, helping with paperwork, administrative stuff etc)?

PS: This has already been asked, but since that was over 3 years ago, I figured it'd be worth asking, on the off chance things have changed…

J'ai un coussin de sol (type 150x70x20cm… plutôt grand) qui a besoin d'être complètement retapissé (tissu remplacé).

Est-ce que quelqu'un connait des artisans/couturiers/tapissiers qui prennent ce genre de (petit) travail?

La plupart des artisans tapissiers que j'ai trouvé m'ont l'air plutôt orientés vers des vrais boulots de réfection de mobilier (ou à la rigueur réalisation de coussins/rideaux/etc, mais pour une maison entière, pas un pauvre coussin seul).

(je sais qu'a priori ça reviendra moins cher d'en racheter un neuf, mais 1. je ne trouve plus ce modèle que j'aimais bien 2. ça m'ennuie un peu de balancer un truc réparable)

Est-ce qu'il y a des gens qui utilisent les voitures Citiz à Lyon ?

J'aurais voulu savoir si certains des modèles avaient une boite auto, ou si c'est tout manuel (pour certaines, il est spécifié "boite manuelle", et rien pour les autres, mais j'ai l'impression que ça ne veut pas dire grand chose)…

(oui, le plus simple serait de les contacter pour demander, mais: service client fermé jusqu'à lundi)

Dans l'optique de faire un peu de lombricompostage (et aussi juste pour aérer un peu la terre des jardinières sur mon balcon), je cherche quelques lombrics…

Quelqu'un sait s'il y a une assoc', magasin ou autre, où je peux récupérer une petite famille de lombrics à qui je donnerai un foyer aimant ?

PS : j'ai bien cherché le flair 'caricature de bobo lyonnais' pour ce post, j'ai pas trouvé.

Je suis dans la situation "typique" de trouble du voisinage : voisins de l'enfer, qui font un vacarme sans nom 1 à 2 fois par semaine, depuis près de 2 ans, et qui n'ont aucune intention de cesser.

Pour donner les grandes lignes :

• Nous sommes tous les 2 proprios.

• Le bruit (musique de basse à fond, karaoke, hurlements) survient de manière aléatoire, la plupart du temps le weekend, mais assez souvent en semaine, parfois soudainement au milieu de la nuit (quand les parents rentrent éméchés et décident de continuer la soirée chez eux), ou toute une nuit de weekend (quand les parents partent dans le

Am I the only one for whom all tile IDs end in 1,3,7 or 9?

Altogether, the sequence of tile IDs is rather intriguing: not random (I think), not perfectly uniform, but no obvious pattern (aside from the last digit) that I can spot…

I can't help but wonder if the tile ID might give out info on the tile (orientation? position in the final puzzle? presence of a monster?)

Or have I been staring at digits too long and this is a meaningless artefact of input-data generation?

Update: indeed, the answer is that tile IDs are all primes

A friend has inherited some small house in the arse-end of Chiba (not a kominka or anything: just a regular cube of ugly 80s concrete). The thing is in poor shape and plain worthless. Real estate agents aren't really interested at any price (and probably couldn't sell), and meanwhile the occasional falling rooftile is threatening to cause damage to the neighbour's property.

She asked local gov if there was a way to donate the thing, to which they answered a polite "no thanks"…

Does anyone know of a standard way to get rid of unwanted property in Japan? Is she basically saddled with it, supposed to shell out for a full tear-down,

I currently have a set-up consisting of an RPi4 running Dietpi+Kodi, that I mostly control through web or UpnP interfaces (it's plugged to an HDMI projector and the sound system, but no LCD screens).

I am working on putting together a second RPi4, this time with a small touchscreen, to use as a mural tablet in my kitchen. Its purposes being:

1. Control (audio) playback on the main Kodi server (/display currently playing info)
2. Stream and play videos to the touchscreen that are stored on the main Kodi server (ideally with a decent interface to browse content)
3. Display basic weather/news when not in use
4. [Ideally] Allow some rudimentary web browsing (eg youtube videos etc)
5. [Ideally
