There's a Japanese place in Novi called Nagomi that is pretty great. When you walk in it looks like you're in the wrong place because what you see barely looks like a restaurant, just an empty event hall that is a bit run down. The ordering process is confusing to everybody on their first time, but it works really great once you figure it out. The food is awesome. My family goes pretty regularly. I love the pork misoitame, the ramen can be amazing on the right day, and I love the chicken katsu curry with cheese. Their sesame balls are hit or miss. They have a rotating selection of Japanese drinks, with ramune always in stock, and sometimes suntori nonalcoholic beer. They usually play funny Japanese shows with pranks or fails. It's pretty common to see groups of con-goers dressed up after attending a con of some kind. Also there's a public access RC race car track right across the street by the water tower, which is great for families to spectate at, or drive on if you remembered to bring an rc car.

high price of public transportation

lol, compared to gas, insurance, maintenance, parking, parking tickets, tow fees, replacing broken windows, and the cost of the vehicle? Really?

Dude, yes. I loved wandering down random streets and photographing all the artwork I found, which was basically everywhere.

We also have those in Michigan. When I moved here I was so happy to see them at most of the parks.

Mindstorms is actually retired now :( https://support.apple.com/en-us/108963

EV3 had a microsd slot and usb ports. You can boot Debian on it and connect it to WiFi, which made it pretty wide open. https://www.ev3dev.org/

The kit that replaced EV3 is also really great. I have both and mostly use the newer one because even though it can't boot Linux or connect to WiFi, it can be programmed from an iPad using a scratch interface, and the programs can be saved to the device and run without having to use any other device. This makes it really easy to quickly make a robot to perform a simple task like pressing a series of physical buttons in a timed loop, like for farming Xbox game currency or whatever.

This kind of thing is seriously the best that life gets. Being able to recognize those moments and appreciate them is one of the best skills somebody can obtain. Mindfulness meditation and stoic philosophy have helped me immensely in being able to appreciate these types of situations for the real value that they have.

What episode is the intro clip of him eating ice cream from?

[–] hoherd 20 points 7 months ago

Bought an ebike. I've wanted one for over 10 years, and finally the circumstances were right for me to justify it.

Remember what they say though: a grand jury would indict a ham sandwich. I'll be interested to hear a more thorough analysis of the charges. Sadly, this stuff is rarely as simple as it seems.

This is brilliant. Saved! Will definitely be sharing this.
