I feel like I'm going insane reading these comments about how difficult it is to read analog clocks, how it needs too much understanding of maths, how it takes too long,...

Can someone please confirm: you just look, for a fraction of a second, at the clock face and know the time, right?

Learning to read the clock was like... A couple of lessons and some homework in the 2nd grade, and everyone got it.

Alright, thanks for the recommendation (seriously)!

Definitely planned for next time. This time we went south to Fukuoka (already very few tourists) and rented a car back to Tokyo, staying in smaller towns. Highly recommend.

While I don't like it, it's not hidden either:

There should definitely be an option to disable this for self-hosting, but if it's just a counter for how often each tool is used by all users combined... Eh...

(Stirling also has something similar)

Why not open a PR to make it configurable? The maintainer is super active and friendly.

If there's specific things you want to do that happen to be in Kyoto, I agree. I just think (somewhat from personal experience) that going to Kyoto because that's what you should do on a Japan trip is a bad idea.

I mean... that's a pretty memorable trip, no?

If you travel to Japan, honestly just... Skip Kyoto. It is so full of tourists (national and international), you cannot possibly imagine unless you've seen it.

Sure, there's a lot of impressive temples there. But so is the rest of the country.

We were lucky enough to spend 4 weeks in Japan earlier this year, and if I could do the trip again, I would straight-up skip Kyoto and Osaka.

Rent a car, drive in some random direction. You'll he a lot happier, it it will actually be your trip. By far the best memories coke from places not in any travel guide.

Depends - was the assault comment directed at assailants or victims?
