I would have to say: give the Ueno Zoological Gardens a miss. The fact that we visited it at a time of vivid yellows and browns enhanced its charm. And it was awesome that the zoo personnel somehow ensured that the two pandas were fervently eating bamboo during my visit. (Must not have been easy to arrange that, given that pandas sleep for long hours.) However, it was troubling to see many animals trapped in their cages. Some of these animals only had one representative, so it must have been lonely for it to live its days without any company. Also, after waiting for 1.5 hours to view the pandas, we still had to wait for 15 mins to observe the hippos. There are better zoos than this, including the Singapore Zoological Gardens.

Did you know that Yatsushiro accounts for the majority of Japan’s igusa (soft rush) production? It is used to make comfy tatami mats.

Now you know!

We lose electricity a lot where I'm located. We had a short power outage about an hour and a half ago. Once again I lost all the Alby hub connections to my node. Second time this week. This started happening after the recent software update. I wonder if @alby has any suggestions?

Shower thought:

Because they are part of territories on SN, pinned posts should be called landmarks

or maybe landmarks can be something else, like widely zapped, highly valuable posts that each territory can elect to showcase as a "this is the kind of content were about here" "this post is our magnum opus" "this is representative of our culture and traditions here"

🤔

My students disappointed me this am when I noticed some of them weren't listening to each other's presentations, looking at their phones/computers instead. So, they got a pop quiz to report on what each other said. Many failed. Hope they learned. I hate it when they don't pay attention to each other. The lessen being pay the fuck attention to your peers.

i'm on SN daily yet i have no clue what the horse and the gun represent, cowboy hat i guess its when you post couple days in a row?

Hello, It's that time when I’m starting to say goodbye to some people, getting closer to some in a better way and to others in a worse way. Today was my last day of vocational subjects in technical school. The fact that the teacher who taught us these vocational subjects only started teaching us from the second year, not the first, still amazes me but also fills me with admiration, how someone can bond with others so quickly in just 3.5 years. I'm talking about a teacher who is exceptional in his field, who was able to engage us with his lessons, cover all the material, and still add something extra. Maybe I view this person exceptionally because he spent the most time with me from the group, preparing me for competitions, often working with me to design and test electronic circuits for younger classes for the following year. This is how I’ve been learning for these 4.5 years as an electronics technician, with only half a year left of general subjects. He often showed an unconventional approach and proved that there is a solution to every problem. For example, when Google and other services block access through an anti-spam bot to avoid alarm messages from the alarm system, so the school wouldn’t have to pay for a mail server, he made a small modification using one of the laptops for exercises. He’s just a person who teaches out of passion and is a wonderful person. However, I don't yet feel the full pain of losing lessons with him because he will be running extra classes for the exam next month, for which he won’t get a single penny since the local authorities refused to pay him, which is ridiculous. In my case, it’s also for the competition, but I can clearly say that I’m starting to feel this is the end of this stage, which makes me sad, especially since there are so few teachers nowadays who can engage, guide, and invest in teaching.

Hey @BlokchainB and @grayruby, you have to agree on the territories names 🤠. I got the wrong territory for the second time, luckily I was still in time to change the whole post. In this case I couldn't edit the territory because I originally posted in ~Stacker_Stocks but wanted to post in ~Stacker_Sports. As ~Stacker_Sports is more expensive, I couldn't edit it. It would be nice if this issue could be solved (@k00b @ek).

I think I might start using no bullshit bitcoin to advertise SN 🤔
