Good movies you've seen recently
Metabo Oyaji replied to yamayamayama's topic in General off-topic discussions
That one intrigued me for a while. Watched it twice, then read the book. Finally came to the conclusion that the author had intended a very negative statement about the nature of human beings, which the film-makers then tried to twist into some kind of optimistic message. -

Eddie Murphy is a homophobic A-hole. No use for him. Made no sense to me. Looked like a video game tie-in. -
If you figure it out, let us know! Abe tells us that it is so the Jieitai can defend American ships that are carrying Japanese evacuees from war zones. (The US, on the other hand, says "we don't consider it our duty to rescue Japanese nationals from war zones," according to the newspaper this morning.) Realistically, I think this is the start of a long, slow process of Japan starting to act more like a normal country militarily, and not simply like a protectorate of the US. Which I actually think is a good idea in principle, though the implementation is obviously a fraught process...

How much electricity do you use?
Metabo Oyaji replied to Go Native's topic in General off-topic discussions
About 300 kWh/month for us, family of 3 -- or 4, if including the dog. (And the dog is responsible for most of the aircon bill in the summer, since nobody else is at home during the day then...) Though we also have gas for cooking and hot water. Average monthly bill is half electricity, half gas. -

Somehow the new version makes me think of Roomba. Can't say I'm particularly fond of either one, though. -

Winter version looks like it has eaves, but summer version reveals them to be just snow. -

More of a house slipper, then? -
We're obviously all dependent on you for updates. Also looking forward to the Runcorn Ski Centre trip report.

I'd be quaking in my boots, were I wearing boots. -
How about sudare? You can see through them, and they are cheap. Will stop reflections, and keep your house cool. But, quite visible.
