    Japan trip ideas

    I went on a work trip about a year ago and got about 3 days of walkabout because I work very productively. I had a great time visiting the Imperial Palace, the Ueno Zoo/Park (there was a big school visit that day, it was really cute how excited the kids got when the panda got up), any shrines...

    How old are you and how much do you have saved for retirement?

    27, with about 50% of my base salary saved in retirement and a separate efund of about 10% of my salary. Alas, we're in a salary freeze, so this might be the first year I don't get a raise and the percentage of income saved for retirement should go up drastically (I'd rather get another raise :) )

    The EPA hates America.

    you know things will be ridiculous when you get an anarchist thread with incorrigible echo chamber reply as the first response. We really should have a separate forum (Echo Chamber?) for these stupid conspiracy theory posts. It really devalues the entire community to continue to have 20%+ of...

    The What-I-Ate-Before-It-Violently-Exploded-Out-Of-Me Thread

    Worst I ever had was in college, compliments of 'Number One Chinese' on High Street. Turns out, the place was infested with rats and was shut down a few weeks later. Not surprised after that explosion. I recently went out to Which Wich with a coworker, we both got intestinally purged within...

    Government intervention is the cause of American health care problems.

    How to stop cat from puking on my bed?

    I have a cat that eats to fast/gorges and vomits due to it. She'll vomit almost anywhere... Our solution was pretty simple, the slow eat bowls are awesome. Of course, it turns out she has a skin allergy to plastic and her chin started getting rashes, so we switched to a metal version...
