Well this is the thread for stupid questions. I asked for recomendations, and I realize there are a lot of places in the "biggest city in the world". I was just wondering if there are any good place that people have been to personally. I'll just go anywhere in a big city because, you know it's all good.
 
I really liked Yoshinoya and CoCoIchi. Mr Donuts also has some really good specialty donuts.

These are all chains though.
 
On Windows 7, does putting your computer into sleep mode leave background downloads running? Like Steam, Bit Torrent, Browser downloads, etc.

No meaning to offend you, sorry if I sounded agressive.

I've been in Tokyo for 2 weeks. I didn't read anything about food. Pick up randomly. Sometimes in busy streets, sometimes in very low profile/hidden area. Always been amazing.

I guess there's popular places to go (famous place, special receipt) so I would recommand you to check wiki travel. (and use it to get around Tokyo, it's gold)

Random tech question. Don't know if it's even possible, but is there a way to pull up what a webpage looked like on a specific date in your cache or by any other means? I want to pull up a webpage that I visited last week that no longer has the information I need on it anymore. And if so, how?

Anyone?
 
Why are commas placed after every hundreds? I think there's more to it than simply making numbers easier to read and follow.

No, that's really all there is to it.

(As a side note, a bunch of countries use commas as decimal separators and periods as thousands separators. The more you know.)
 
I listen to a lot of music in my car on my way to and from work. One of my CDs - from After The Burial - always seems to be really quiet. I turn up the volume more than I have to for any of the other CDs that I have, but something always seems off. It's like the music is 'quiet', but loud? I don't really know how to describe what I'm talking about.

It's like everything sounds just too soft, and yet my ears will start hurting like I'm listening to music that's too loud.

I'm fairly certain there's something wrong with the CD, but I don't fully understand what's happening. Does anyone have any clue what I'm talking about?

Is that an old cd?

Over time companies have mastered cds louder and louder.
 
Nowadays, CDs are almost always mastered using a compressor (that pretty much evens out the loudness (dynamic range) of all instruments, which makes the recording louder overall). If a compressor is severely maladjusted, you end up with pumping loudness by frequency, which can be really annoying (sort of the effect like when all you hear is a really loud hihat, know that feeling?).

I can't tell whether it's that though.

I think I do, and now that you mention it, that is really similar to what I think I'm hearing.

That makes sense, thank you.
 
Can someone help me deal with iTunes' Album Artist/Artist disparity without having to manually change everything? It's really fucking up with the way my collection is organized when viewed on my iPod.

EDIT: It appears there's a script for it or something, but I can't find anywhere in iTunes to access said script.

I'm sure it's an AppleScript script. To run those, you usually just doubleclick on 'em from within your Finder. The AppleScript Editor opens. You click on 'Run'.

Alternatively, you could open a Terminal and type
Code: 
exec osascript /PATH/TO/SCRIPT
where /PATH/TO/SCRIPT is the full path of your script.
 
what exactly are people implying when they say "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today?"

I know they're referencing Pop-eye and wimpy not being able to afford it... does it mean the borrower most likely doesn't intend to pay their debt etc?
 
Has anyone gotten a cortisone shot before? I've had lower back pain since early highschool. I sit in an office chair all day, I know thats probably 75% of it but i'm tired of being on pain pills that dont work. Physical therapy helped a tad. I'm thinking about a cortisone shot next. I've hear the initial shot is horrifying though.

Yes. Not even necessarily intent, but also just accepting their own lot and habits.
 
OK so I am on summer holidays right now and quite bored... that means I want to go through a TV show. I've seen all the comedy shows but I've never really followed a big drama/action show. I missed Lost and Sopranos, but I did watch The Wire and thought it was incredible. I'm looking at Breaking Bad and Mad Men, which one should I watch? I'm veering towards Breaking Bad because something is telling me that I don't want to like Mad Men for some reason...
 
What do you buy a 28 year old for his birthday when he pirates any movies/shows/games he wants, isn't married or in a relationship, and doesn't collect figures or anything?

It's got to be something I can buy in stores.

I thought this might be a legitimate suggestion so I googled it. Then I clicked the amazon link wondering wtf it does. Within nanoseconds I realized my mistake.

Guess it's time to delete the browsing history of the amazon account I share with my Mom.

Why? It's just a masturbation tool. Your mom knows that you masturbate.

Everyone loves a co-gift.

I'm a woman, so the tenga flip hole isn't exactly something I'd be too interested in.

I'm really just teasing.

Give your brother something from the heart. If you've got a creative talent, why not follow that route?
Or maybe cook something incredibly awesome.
Or get him a ticket for something fun he wouldn't even think about doing himself, like a hot air balloon ride or a city underground tour. Stuff like that.
 
I just ordered a mountain bike from amazon and a back pack, both are being shipped, the backpack is saying the destination as my town, the bike is saying a different town i dont live in but is really close by? WTF?

Edit nevermind called them and its going to the right place even if it says its going to the wrong one where i checked weird.

Something practical, like maybe bedsheets, towels, some kitchen product. Something he wouldn't think to get for himself that he needs. Or something that just makes sense coming from you, instead of something you think he wants like a video game or whatever.
