2004 is Aceh earthquake right? The fact that the earthquake was so strong the tsunami reached another country is mind-blowing to me...

Also just remembered that this year will be 20 years since that tragedy...

    two “once in a century” flood within less than a year.

    that is scary... any person who says climate change isn't real is a moron, because, i swear, it feels like every year i always something hear about the news about record breaking temperature, record breaking flood, etc.

    i remember flooding in early 2020 (right before COVID hit) was the worst since 2007 in the province where i lived

    Which election are you talking about?

    Ignoring the fact that your answer is literally out-of-topic from the thread, you know that US isn't the only country that held its election this year right? I can think of Japan, Indonesia, etc. Referring your country's election as "The Election" like its the only election happening in the world is such a US defaultism behavior, and I hate that it happened way too often here.

    Mine would be back in 2011, Tohoku Earthquake. Despite being pretty far from the epicentre, the earthquake is to this day the strongest I have felt...

    I borrowed a textbook from school's library, and one day, poof, just gone. I tried searching it multiple times in my house, but I can't find it. To this day, I still can't find that book, and now, it's pretty much impossible because I moved from the house

    The more recent one: I tried looking for a Japanese TV show I used to watch weekly a decade ago. It should be easy, as it's a popular show, yet I can't seem to find it! The only clue I have is that I remember the show actually collaborated with Detective Conan (the anime). Yet, I tried looking at each episode of Detective Conan anime and I can't find it...

    The distance between Jakarta and Bandung are about 143km and Whoosh can travel between them for only around 45 minutes.

    There is also a plan to extend this to go to Surabaya through Yogyakarta, but this isn't clear yet.

    I'm assuming that most of you are from the US so probably using cars, but lemme know if you use trains, subways, buses, etc.

    Me? Back when I was doing an internship I walked to a nearby station for 10 minutes then transited to another train line, which could be an instant or 20 minutes wait. After that I walked for 10 minutes to my work place. So it was probably about 40 minutes of commute. Of course, I live in tropical country so I'm drenched in sweat as I arrive in the office.

    Fortunately every year my city's public transportation seems to get better and as a result I barely needed to use cars.
