Close enough. The Hankyu-Hanshin line covers a huge area.
I find it interesting the Hankyu line has this welcoming old-fashioned aesthetic but the Hanshin line resembles a metal tube, closer to an inner city metro style despite being part of the same company.
There’s probably some commentary here about the socio-economic status and reputation of the areas each one serves but I’ve met people who vastly prefer the Hanshin style and whenever I’ve tried to have that discussion before people start sprouting the WILDEST shit so I’ve been avoiding it.
Are buses in Osaka as terrible as I think they are? Aren’t they like every 30 minutes or worse on most routes?
Only caught buses on the edge of Osaka but I presume they’re the same throughout. Pretty small and don’t come often. Anytime I take a bus in Japan I’m kind of frustrated a train wouldn’t have worked instead.
Have you ever been to the model train cat cafe?
Yes actually! It was cool. I went when it was max capacity and some of the people were very into playing and being close with the cats so it was difficult to get time with them but still worth going.
Have you ever been to 武田尾駅? Gods I want to go there.
This is super interesting. Is there any specific appeal besides the design and the hiking path nearby? I could go this weekend if the weather is good.
If I was to ever go to Kansai what would be a hidden attraction that I should see?
Before I would have recommended the myoken-no-mori funicular, but sadly it stopped running last year. There’s another inbetween Kyoto and Osaka I haven’t visited yet. I might have more answers if I think about this one for a bit.
this is actually a Kita-Osaka Kyuko 9000 series
I knew that some Hankyu trains run on Osaka metro lines where they share service but not about this, interesting. I looked them up and theres a few way they differ but you can tell they’re originally Hankyu stock.
I’m super impressed by how well tofu cheese (almost always silken tofu with a bit of processing similar to how you mentioned) does a better job of melting consistently than the non-vegan equivalent.
So often I would try to make cacio e pepe and all the cheese would seperate out and become unworkable. Tofu cheese has made Italian-style cooking so much easier, tastier and healthier.
Hey so just to follow up on this.
I went to Takedao and I have some photos that I need to scrub of data, but i’m not sure if it fits into urbanism?
There’s about five buildings there total and the train station is INSIDE the mountain tunnel. You access it through two sets of stairs attached to the side of the mountain.
I did walk down the old train tracks which are now a hiking path, very cool, many bugs.
I had my first appointment recently and the doctor asked me if I’m frequently distracted or have a lot of unneccesary information in my head and at the time I was focused entirely on why I can see a fake statue of liberty through the window behind them sat in a parking lot.
I find it rough playing versions before 24 now that positional play is finally a working mechanic in the game when it really should have been 10 years ago, but I’m still down.
I’m tentative on 25 given how slow progress is made on these games (They’re generally amazing games, don’t get me wrong) and I find it hard to believe they’ll be able to convert to a whole new engine and deliver an equivalent or improved experience in just one year, but also I’m terribly addicted and will probably buy it as soon as the beta drops.
I’m in an Asian timezone.
“Justifying your absurdity using hivemind baiting tactics may work on Reddit, but this is Lemmy.”
It’s actually good when literally everyone else in the room is calling me a fucking idiot and hoping I shut up because that makes it a hivemind, proving my argument correct. This person is totally not a debate pervert.
