@TheBreadmonkey let me present: iRoam 🙂
Japan’s "oshikatsu" culture is booming despite inflation, with fans spending heavily on idols and characters in a way that now drives a multitrillion-yen market and even draws the attention of the central bank. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/02/japans-inflation-proof-economy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #boj #inflation #japaneseeconomy #anime #manga #teenagegirls #akb48 #shoheiohtani #oshikatsu #stan #oshi
@thejapantimes because they more than ever want to escape this #reality build by those that refused them that #car and #house #loan
#japan has so much more #potential for #good but the current #finance #system does not support that

Has anyone found a situation where a #car and a #CellPhone seem to hate each other? Went to the dealer because #USB-C charging ports didn't seem to work; tried two (same model) phones, three cords, two ports. The phone charged with the same cable from my computer or power bank.
The mechanic said they saw no problem. Voltage tester showed 5.13v coming from the port. But ...
Their phone and cable -- ok.
Their phone, my cable -- ok.
My phone, their cable -- no good.
WTH? (boost for help, please)

Does Trump Know The Price Of Milk?
“From the day I take the oath of office, we’ll rapidly drive prices down & make America affordable again,” #Trump promised last summer as he ran for president. “Prices will come down. You just watch. They’ll come down fast.”
#Prices have not come down. 10 months after Trump took office, prices are still climbing. #Groceries are MORE expensive. #Electricity bills have spiked. It costs more to buy a new #car.

We have a very urgent need to help Atha and @Kuniti_shino at @vulpinelabs make car loan and credit card payments that are well past due before the repo people catch up.
The car is needed for day to day runabout and safety. We need to find around $2000 to cover these needs ASAP for two beans who are stuck in cracks in the system and their health.

The liveable EV
Kia’s EV3 deserves the praise it’s getting, not only as the Korean brand’s most accessible all-electric car, but because of how complete it is within a C-segment package, writes Jack Yan

In the #CAR, working with explosive ordnance is often seen as a man’s job. Yet two women are quietly proving the opposite: Through training, discipline, and courage, Luisa Diane Namboua and Chief-Sergeant Laure Christelle Djimadoum-Narom-Ko are showing that national #women professionals operate safely and effectively in one of the most high-risk fields, while directly contributing to MINUSCA’s mandate to protect civilians #mineaction

This Franken-Triumph is a Triumph GT6 body on a Chevy S10 pickup frame with an Oldsmobile 440 V8. When we asked the guy why he built this he said, "Because those were the parts I had."
Battle of the Brits. Sept. 14, 2025. Camp Dearborn, Milford, Michigan.
