Famous onsen towns like Kusatsu and Gero can get overcrowded. Enter Suwa, a lakeside town in the middle of Nagano Prefecture that pairs old-school bathhouses with serene lake scenery. Compact and low-key, it hasn't been choked by overtourism (well, yet).

Suwa: One of Japan's Best Onsen Towns You’ve Never Heard of - Unseen Japan

Japan is popular. Hot springs are super popular. But Suwa, an onsen town in Nagano Prefecture, remains a hidden gem.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

I thought a project would end with the last update. Suddenly the client CEO joined the meeting with my contact. Great exchange, more work coming down our line.

Something’s off with my current chair. It feels like I’m trying to sit on a board and balance it on a giant pole. Might be time to buy a new one, don’t want that thing to turn into a giant butt penetrator. "( – ⌓ – )

Today marks the beginning of a New Week, offering us New Opportunities to accomplish amazing things!   What are you most looking forward to about the week? I hope y'all have a pawsome day 💛

There are currently a lot of people leaving my company under specific managers, and whenever I have to work with them shit hits the fan. Makes me kind of paranoid. 🧍‍♂️

Was checking out housing prices in my area. …Yeah, that ain’t happening in this life anymore. Was then checking out apartments closer to work. …Yeah, I’m not paying 50% more rent for less space to save 10 minutes, either. Bruh, housing is cooked.

As soon as I finish my current projects at work, I‘ll take some PTO. I hope I’m done by the end of next week. I haven’t felt this exhausted in a long while… ( ´ཀ` )

I keep seeing pro nuclear power posts, and how renewable energy is only viable with subsidies. Nuclear power plants currently cost roughly 2x as much with similar subsidies per kW/h. Construction of new plants is always over budget and time (>10yrs). Where do you store the waste?

Someone at work took 3 months to fulfill a request that takes no more than 20 minutes - if you triple-check everything. And did it wrong. I didn't know what to do after seeing this unfold, so I had to walk off my frustration. With longer pauses, groaning in disbelief...

Asked Claude something about licensing for a software product. The response referenced an article, which claimed the opposite of what Claude provided as an answer. I honestly don’t know what to think of AI anymore. Sometimes it’s ok, other times absolute garbage. Most of the time meh.

I‘m currently trying to get a clanker that names things for me in a consistent manner. Basically a name generator. I‘m getting there, but it’s a bumpy road.
