I've had similar problems, though mostly when leaving home, and mostly when the flight is early. It gets less bad when I travel more frequently. I assume it's anxiety. I've found that, if it's not early, waiting to pack until the morning helps. (I know about how long I need.)

Also I'd never actually taken a Shinkansen before, and I wanted to.

Trains are less hassle.

See you soon. Arrived a few hours ago, just sat down for my first ramen here.

When you're taking photos from a high speed train, the camera's vertical scan speed matters.

Taiwan and Japan are good at having hiking that you can actually get to by taking the train.

Seems likely enough to be a bug that I think it's worth filing. It also seems odd that <img> and 'background-image' would do different things; I'd have expected the difference in behavior to be crossing between dynamic SVG and svg-as-image (i.e., 1 & 2 one way, 3 different).

Yeah, Tokyo seems basically fine, although a decent number of people didn't come to work today or came late due to issues with above-ground railroads outside of the city. Hope you make it here soon...

I'm accustomed to Japan having very good signage for trains... but while Tokyo Station has good signs for the subways, its signs for the mainline trains (e.g., where you should go for different kinds of Shinkansen or other JR trains, or for their tickets) are very poor.

If they win it on their own, sounds fine. But the more likely case is probably inheriting the Senate seat from daddy, which is what the founders were trying to prevent.

The huge TO ALL TRAINS sign and the sheet of paper on a post saying it's wrong isn't particularly helpful either.
I wonder why @SFBART 's bart.gov/schedules/eta?stn=M… shows Millbrae-Airport trains on the wrong platform until just before they arrive?

Today involved a good bit of travel planning for January 2020 (CSS WG meeting and Mozilla All-Hands). I save travel-related stuff to directories structured by dates. My muscle memory is not accustomed to those dates not beginning with "201"...

One interesting feature of Android 10 is that it tells you when apps are getting your location in the background, and asks if you'd like to disable that permission. I just got my second such notification, this time for a pretty major app: @Uber , which I hadn't used since June.

Was there any attempt to control for streets with comparable levels of traffic? Or is it just that these streets are busier?

I distinctly remember some parts being not-so-flat (back in May 2007)...
