A Taiwanese friend of mine told me that a Japanese person recently moved into the apartment next door to him, and that he was confused when he was suddenly given a towel. I couldn't help but laugh when he told me (it is a Taiwanese custom to hand out towels to funeral attendees).

'There are novels written by humans.'
The old man who called out to me in a dimly lit alley wasn't wearing Google Glasses. To be precise, he was wearing a plate that covered his eyes, but it was just a low-quality imitation. It wasn't connected to web 3.0.
'There are novels written by humans.'
I gasped as the old man repeated the same words. I want to read it.

The important thing here is not to put heavy objects in the middle, but to put heavy objects close to the body. When twisting your upper body, the closer the weight is to the center of rotation, the smaller the moment, so it is less likely to swing + less force is required to return it to its original position when swinging → less fatiguehttps ://t.co/oiNod0hYok pic.twitter.com/mG5b79CfLQ

I was trying to sell a used car that was pretty worn out.
Company A: 500,000 yen
Company B's 800,000 yen valuation seemed suspicious to me, and sure enough, after I decided on Company B, they called me later and said they could only offer me 450,000 yen.

Now that the industry's credibility has been destroyed by the fraud committed by used car dealers, why don't we stop doing this kind of thing?

I don't really want to say this, but everywhere in Japan is either a plain or a mountainous basin, and it's natural that there are many expressways, national highways, and municipal roads, and over the past few days I've come across so many stories that seem to suggest that they have never given even a millimeter of thought to the geography, transportation, or climate of other areas, that it's making me dizzy as a resident of the Oshima Peninsula.
