So instead of DMing them to one's friends on Discord, one can actually send these anecdotes to the newspaper?
Just came across in a folder where I have collected interesting things...

1984 because the ticket machines that handle the magnetic tickets are the literal coolest things ever
JR East will begin replacing short-distance magnetic tickets with QR-code tickets from spring 2027. 🎫📱 The current magnetic tickets will be phased out, changing how passengers use ticket gates. Instead of inserting a small magnetic ticket into the gate, passengers will hold a QR-code ticket over the reader. The ticket format will also get larger, changing from the current 30 × 57.5 mm small ticket to a 57.5 × 85 mm large ticket. The larger size is designed to make the QR code easier to scan at the gate. The new QR tickets will remove the magnetic layer on the back, reducing the environmental burden during recycling after use. 🌿 The change is also part of a wider shift toward mobile, ticketless travel and more efficient station layouts, with ticket-vending-machine areas reorganized as stations are redesigned.

It's true the correctness of blue is sensitive to framing effects. Framing affects how people think, and the correct argument for blue is predicated on how other people think.

There are arguably many of these in Japanese where the same underlying word ends up with several kanji representations more finely splitting up its semantic space.
Has anyone before come up with a term denoting words having a common origin, only later artificially distinguished in writing and/or speech? Examples in English: than~then (cf. Germ. denn~dann), metal~mettle, shard~sherd (in the archaeological sense). I propose 'pseudodoublet.'

Hello. This is Kyubey. In order to harvest energy from the world, we decided to create the franchise, "Madoka Magica" gathering a huge following and inspiring hope in many. We have gathered enough energy to begin harvesting. "Walpurgis no Kaiten" is no longer in production.
