2020 national treasures basketball

gas prices are high because Corporations are greedy fucks. Take a look.

2023.06.09 16:30 cant_be_pun_seen gas prices are high because Corporations are greedy fucks. Take a look.

Oil prices have been the same as they were in October 2018 for a few months now. Around $70/barrel.
National average in Oct 2018 was 2.90/gallon. National average today is 3.54/gallon.
Exxon, for instance, reported anywhere from 75% to 168% in year over year quarterly growth from June 2021 - September 2022. To be fair, this is after seeing negative YoY growth from March 2019 - December 2020. But, funny thing about the negative YoY growth that "big oil" experienced during COVID.. it wasnt caused solely by COVID. Exxon saw negative growth near 20% nearly a year before COVID brought down the world. In fact, the negative growth during COVID was very similar to the downturn from September 2014 - September 2016.
What I really want to emphasize here is the next part: I just laid out 2 separate downturns in Exxons history. Both were similar in length, and both were similar in size, albeit COVID being a little higher(5-10% higher during some quarters).
After the COVID downturn, Exxon reported quarterly YoY growth ranging from 75% to 168% over the course of about 6 quarters from 2021-2022. 4 out of those 6 quarters were 120% or higher.
After the 2014-2016 downturn, Exxon reported quarterly YoY growth ranging from 24% to 44% over 8 or 9 quarters from 2016-2018.
There is no precedent for the amount of greed we saw from corporations last year. Fuel prices were a driving force as well - and its very clear to me that greed was the driving force behind increased fuel prices after taking this small dive, confirming what we all should know already. So what we have here is compounded greed that ultimately made many things unaffordable over the past year - greed from the transportation side, greed from the producer greed from the supplier, and then of course regular YoY cost increases/inflation that should be expected. When you compound all of these increases into one final price that we all pay, you get record profits for everyone except the consumer, who gets fucked.
Id be willing to bet that YoY growth trends are similar for most corporations over the past 1-2 years, and do not match prior downturn years, just like with oil corporations.
And all they had to do was say "sorry, gas prices are high and COVID caused so many supply chain issues!!!" Yeah, you're not increasing production back to pre pandemic levels because you can just jack your prices up 200% and make record profits while not having to hire more employees.
America is fucked unless we do something about corporate greed. Greed is to be expected from the individual, but we cannot have monopolies run around completely unchecked.
If I left out something here, please point it out, thanks!

2023.06.09 15:53 AbstractBlacksmith E se non fosse solo per il lavoro?

Piccola premessa: questo post è nato come bozza di risposta al thread di qualche ora fa. Mentre scrivevo la risposta però mi sono reso conto che il contenuto potesse essere di per se uno spunto di discussione a se stante.
Nel thread di cui sopra OP lamentava la lontananza dall'Italia affermando che il motivo principale per cui gli italiani lasciano il paese per andare all'estero è, a suo parere, la prospettiva di una carriera migliore ed un contesto lavorativo più dignitoso. La sua opinione è stata corroborata da una sostanziale parte dei commenti al post.
Personalmente (29M) non mi ci rivedo in tale visione, ed anzi nel mio caso i fattori che più hanno influenzato la mia scelta di lasciare l'Italia sono stati la provincialità, illiberalità ed intolleranza del pensiero e della cultura di quella che da me è stata percepita nel corso degli anni come una grande parte della popolazione. E' importante notare che la mia prospettiva fa riferimento esclusivamente alle "grandi città" in cui ho vissuto, vedi Bari, Torino e Milano, non ai borghi di provincia in cui andrebbe, magari anche erroneamente, a stanare tali atteggiamenti.
Per dare un po' di contesto:
La lista prosegue ma mi rendo conto che elencare cose "alla Salvini" sia tutt'altro che utile ad una sana discussione e che spesso le sterili statistiche, specie se prese fuori contesto e a se stanti, sono pericolosamente fuorvianti. Tuttavia, mi trovo spesso a chiedermi, ad esempio leggendo il pensiero di OP nel thread sopra, in quanti come me danno altrettanto peso a questi altri aspetti oltre che al lavoro. Questi dati magari mostrano una tendenza alla decrescita della ricchezza culturale e morale del nostro paese?
Preciso che ho vissuto in Regno Unito (18 mesi), Svezia (11 mesi), Austria (3 mesi) e da poco trasferito in Nuova Zelanda (5 mesi), oltre che ad aver trascorso brevi periodi di vacanza/lavoro in Spagna (2 mesi) e Portogallo (1 mese) dunque la mia prospettiva è figlia di quelle che sono state le mie esperienze e termini di paragone con i paesi in cui ho soggiornato.

2023.06.09 15:07 waywardpixel My best friend is moving away to the woods of Wisconsin to wait out the “end of the world” in 2030

My best friend in the whole world has changed completely. This began in August of last year. She took me to a concert and told me she was going on a week long camping trip with her mother and brother (and we both knew they believed in a bunch of crazy conspiracies) I made a joke and wished her luck. I had no idea that would be the last time things would be normal between us.
After the trip, she texts me and says she has to tell me something important. She tells me she is a born again Christian, and she believes everything her mom and brother have been drilling into her head and fear mongering since the pandemic in 2020. From what I know, (because I’m sure there’s a lot I don’t know) this is what they believe:
  1. Trump is the Antichrist.
  2. Earth is flat.
  3. The vaccine makes you half machine. And it also fills you up with something that they can use to control you and make your heart explode whenever they want. It also changes your DNA making you not the same person.
  4. Space is fake. All of it. And the sun is a light the government turns on.
  5. Giants and Bigfoot and other mythical creatures exist.
  6. They cannot go to any government building (even the post office) because since they know the “truth”, all conspiracy theorists are considered National terrorists and will be shot on sight.
  7. Eventually, they will plant a chip in our hands and we will be punished for buying too much meat at the grocery stores. They will control how much we buy.
  8. They are getting rid of cash. She tells me that cash is already gone in china, but I don’t think that’s true.
  9. The world is ending in 2030. That’s when the rapture is coming.
  10. 5G towers will make you explode if you got the Covid vaccine. Or the flu vaccine because they have mixed the Covid vaccine with the flu vaccine and aren’t telling anyone.
That’s everything I can remember off the top of my head. But things are just so different now. She has tried to convert me. I stood firm in my own beliefs. She’s tried mom shaming me for having my son (who is almost 2) vaccinated. We had a big fight over that. I tried being respectful but it hurts. The main reason it hurts is bc they have all bought campers and are moving from Louisiana to Wisconsin whenever “stuff starts happening in the world” (the date keeps getting pushed back) and they will be off the grid in the woods with no phones or anything. No contact with anyone. Until 2030. They will be gardening and fishing for food. I am terrified of that. They aren’t fit for that type of lifestyle. I’m scared she or they won’t last out there. Especially the winters. She was seriously a piece of my heart. We were so close. And she wouldn’t even come and see me before she moved cities in Louisiana bc we are different people now. She doesn’t tell me anything unless I bring up something that upsets her or if I hound her and ask.
I don’t know what to do. It feels like she’s passed away. The person I loved is gone. And I won’t even be able to speak to her soon or know if she’s okay. That messes with my head so bad. For years, I’ll just be worried. And I’ll never know. No one will. My heart is just broken. And there’s nothing to do about that.

Similar Artists
Overflowing with attitude, energy, and hooky guitar figures, PUP are a Toronto-based punk combo whose acclaimed 2013 debut helped earn them a widespread audience both in and outside of Canada. PUP quickly became a touring dynamo with a larger label (SideOneDummy) behind them, and their quirky sense of humor and engaging songwriting played out over albums like 2016's The Dream Is Over and 2019's Juno Award-winning Morbid Stuff. They signed with Universal for their fourth album, 2022's The Unraveling of Puptheband, and created a denser, though still frenetic sound by experimenting with different instruments.
Featuring Stefan Babcock on vocals and guitar, Steve Sladkowski on guitar and vocals, Nestor Chumak on bass and vocals, and Zack Mykula on drums and vocals, all longtime friends who met in elementary school, PUP formed in 2010 under the name Topanga. The original name was a reference to Topanga Lawrence, a character played by Danielle Fishel on the '90s sitcom Boy Meets World, but when the members learned Fishel would be reviving the character in 2014 in a spin-off titled Girl Meets World, they chose to change the name to PUP, standing for "Pathetic Use of Potential." Topanga released a digital EP titled Oceans, and positive press and attention from other bands helped create a buzz about the group. In 2013, they became PUP, releasing their self-titled debut album through the Royal Mountain label. The album was a hit with both critics and fans, with the group being named Best Live Show and Best New Artist by CBC Radio 3. The band toured extensively, playing throughout Canada and making their way to England and the United States. By the end of 2013, PUP had signed a record deal with the well-established punk label Side One Dummy, and spent much of 2014 and 2015 touring in support of Side One Dummy's reissue of their debut LP, launching their first headlining tours of the United States and Canada, as well as making their Australian debut.
In February 2016, PUP teased a new single called "DVP" in advance of their second full-length album, The Dream Is Over. Released in May of that year, the album's title is a reference to a prognosis Babcock received from his doctor: he'd severely damaged his vocal cords after enduring years of non-stop touring. In true punk fashion, PUP used the doctor's glib comment as the rallying cry for another set of hard-hitting, self-deprecating punk tunes. The band promoted the effort with an international tour over the next year before returning to the studio to write and record a follow-up. They spent most of 2018 working on the album, which saw release in April 2019. Titled Morbid Stuff, the record was produced with Dave Schiffman (the Mars Volta, Weezer) and lyrically focused on Babcock's struggles with depression. A year later, PUP offered up their commentary on the state of the world with This Place Sucks Ass, a six-song EP whose title referenced one of their long-standing touring inside jokes. With COVID-19 putting a halt to live performances, the group returned to the studio in 2021 to record their fourth album. Produced by Peter Katis (the National, Frightened Rabbit), 2022's wild The Unraveling of Puptheband saw the group augmenting their normally guitar-based sound with synthesizers, piano, and horns.

2023.06.09 14:13 calb94 My biggest challenge yet

Hi folks,
Long time lurker, first time poster… M28
February 2022 I was at my highest weight of my life, 139.4kg. What was an unhealthy lifestyle pre-covid got even worse, I had put on about 20kg since the lockdowns started in March 2020. Not a unique story I’m sure.
I decided it was time to get serious before I waste the best years of my life. I put a plan together with my PT with some heavy accountability on the diet and sticking to workout plans and slowly but surely started making progress. This morning I was exactly 26kg down and feeling great overall.
I’ve had a pretty set routine for the last 16 months. PT on Monday, I play organised basketball on a Wednesday, PT on a Thursday, a run on a Saturday and maybe a walk thrown in.
That routine got thrown out the window when I had a fall at basketball on Wednesday night on a wet patch and fractured my wrist.
Wrist is in a cast for 6 weeks, no PT, running is not advised. Obviously, no basketball either.
My question to you guys is, how have you got through periods where your routine is taken away? In the past, that’s where I’ve fallen off the wagon. How did you get through it?
Cheers
TLDR: lost 26kgs in last 16 months but routine is gone due to injury

2023.06.09 13:57 fairinwinter Email from NHS England regarding children's gender services

Just received this:
Dear stakeholder,

As someone who has registered as a stakeholder for the NHS Gender Services Clinical Programme, or who has a specific interest in this area, we are writing to:

Notify you that NHS England has now published, following public consultation, a final interim service specification for specialist gender incongruence services for children and young people; and,

Invite you to provide feedback, as part of our stakeholder testing process (and ahead of formal public consultation), on a new draft interim clinical policy relating to the use of puberty supressing hormones in children and adolescents who have gender incongruence / or gender dysphoria.

Final Interim Service Specification
https://www.england.nhs.uk/publication/interim-service-specification-for-specialist-gender-incongruence-services-for-children-and-young-people/
Today (Friday 9 June) NHS England has published a final interim service specification for specialist gender incongruence services for children and young people to support our Phase 1 providers in developing their new services. The public consultation on this draft interim service specification ran for 45 days from 20 October to 4 December 2022. It received 5,183 responses in total. We would like to sincerely thank all those individuals and organisations who took the time to submit responses to this consultation.

We commissioned TONIC - an independent organisation specialising in public consultation, social research and evaluation - to conduct analysis on all responses and report back on these findings. Their detailed analysis of the responses, as well as NHS England’s response to the consultation can both be found alongside the finalised interim service specification.

Stakeholder Testing: Draft Interim Clinical Policy: Puberty Supressing Hormones

At the same time as publishing the final interim service specification, NHS England is also inviting you to provide feedback on a new draft interim clinical policy on the use of puberty supressing hormones (PSH) in children and adolescents who have gender incongruence or gender dysphoria. This is an important step in our policy development process which precedes formal and wider public consultation.
The draft clinical policy proposes that puberty suppressing hormones are not routinely commissioned at this time and that access should only be as part of research.

We have previously made clear, including in the draft interim service specification we consulted on, the intention that the NHS will only commission puberty supressing hormones as part of clinical research. This approach follows advice from Dr Hilary Cass’ Independent Review highlighting the significant uncertainties surrounding the use of hormone treatments.

The purpose of the clinical policy (draft below) is to formalise this commissioning approach and ensure there is clarity on the position by the time the new service providers begin seeing patients in the context of the new and final interim service specification. The interim service specification and the clinical policy, once finalised, come together to define the overall commissioned service.

The draft clinical policy is supported by a NICE evidence review completed in 2020, a literature surveillance report which has looked to identify relevant studies published subsequently, and a draft Equality and Health Inequalities Impact Assessment (EHIA).

Progress with establishing appropriate research studies is important in the context of this draft clinical policy. As you may know, a new national Children and Young People’s Gender Dysphoria Research Oversight Board has been established to oversee this work. We are pleased to inform you that the Board has now approved the development of a study into the impact of puberty suppressing hormones in children and young people with early-onset gender dysphoria. More information on the Board and the study can be found in the Consultation Report.
As a key stakeholder, we would like to hear your views on this policy proposition before NHS England considers it further and in advance of conducting formal and wider public consultation.

[We recognise that if this draft clinical policy is adopted following stakeholder testing and public consultation, it would be appropriate to make a consequential change to the related clinical policy for prescribing cross-sex hormones for young people with gender dysphoria by removing the requirement for a young person to have been receiving puberty supressing hormones for a defined period of time.]

What is NHS England asking you to do?

Please read the draft clinical policy proposition and submit your response using this stakeholder feedback form by 25 June 2023.

1927 PSH Draft interim policy proposition.pdf

You may also wish to review other supporting documentation:

NICE evidence review 1927 GnRH ER.pdf Surveillance report 1927 GnRH Literature surveillance.pdf Draft Equality and Health Inequalities Impact Assessment 1927 EHIA PSH.pdf

The NICE review from 2020 was a comprehensive review of all clinical evidence available on the use of this medication to suppress puberty in children and young people. NHS England has looked at any relevant evidence that has been published since the NICE review, and this is covered in the Surveillance Report.

It is not possible to save your answers and return to the form later, so you may wish to skip through the questions and read the supporting documents before you start. You have the option to submit a detailed response of up to 500 words.

You are welcome to respond on behalf of your group or organisation, or as an individual. You may wish to consult others as part of your response, or you can forward this email to other stakeholders. You must declare any conflict of interests relating to this document or service area.


What happens next?

Once NHS England has reviewed all stakeholder feedback, we intend to move to a period of formal public consultation. Our Patient and Public Voice Assurance Group (PPVAG) will consider and assure our plans in this respect first.

A final decision on the clinical policy following stakeholder testing and public consultation will be made by NHS England following a recommendation from the Clinical Priorities Advisory Group (CPAG).

If this email has been forwarded to you and you would like to receive updates directly from NHS England in future, please do sign up as a stakeholder on our website for any of the CRGs that cover your areas of interest.

Thank you very much in advance for your feedback.

2023.06.09 13:32 wardXn 35 day solo itinerary check across western Honshu, Shikoku, Osaka/Kyoto, Kanazawa and Tokyo

Hello, I would like to seek fellow redditors opinions, input and recommendation on how I could better finetune my itinerary better. There's only so much I can think of, and plan as an individual, but with everyone's input and comments I can further refine and enhance the travel experience before I set foot into Japan. Do forgive me in advance for the theorycrafting wall of text.
I know it may be difficult to review the itinerary, so to make the review easier I have broken the itinerary down into specific sub-groups e.g. Shikoku, Kinki etc. Specific questions that I have are bolded.
Thank you in advance for taking your time to provide your opinions!
-------------
Baseline information

Specific goals/objective:
  1. Experience Shikoku in autumn (specifically the views at Iya Valley) and in other prefectures (thus making nature sightseeing more of a priority this time round)
  2. Experience Kanazawa for anime stuff
  3. Experience the Shimanami Kaido in full (including any sightseeing spots in between the 6 island chains)
  4. Bonus - try as many sightseeing trains as possible.
  5. Bonus - if weather, time and schedule permits, try skiing as an option in Nagano.
  6. Bonus - stay in as many onsen ryokans as possible, without breaking the bank.

Locked-in prefectures [i.e. I will definitely go to those prefectures no matter what]:
  1. Shikoku (as per above objective)
  2. Hiroshima (because its on the opposite end of the Shimanami Kaido)
  3. Kanazawa (for anime related reason)
  4. Tokyo (that is my starting and end point so it has to be included by default)
All other prefectures are basically float i.e. I am open to consider dropping said itinerary for something else based on your suggestion that aligns with my preferences/interest. Most of the other locations I added are prefectures that are often next to each other, or well-connected (apart from the initial Tokyo Kagawa jump via Sunrise Seto/Shinkansen).

Wait-list prefectures (prefectures that I want to go, but I don’t think I can realistically fit in without dropping other locations):
  1. Snow skiing at Nagano (depending on how cooperative the weather is in early-ish December (would 2 days be sufficient?))
  2. Ehime, Kochi expansion [spend 1-3 more days]
  3. Izu Peninsula (~2 days, via Saphir Odoriko)
  4. Nagoya + lower Nagano (Kiso Valley) (~3 days)
  5. Ishikawa expansion [1 extra day at Kaga]
I am open to dropping a few days in Tokyo/Osaka etc to make that trade off [currently kept 3 days free for further development]. Alternatively, if the planning can be better optimized based on your inputs I might be able to do one of those without compromising on the base set. I would like to hear your opinion on what locations you would drop in the itinerary to make time for one of the above.

General planning philosophy:
  1. My itineary adopts a breadth approach (cover as much area as I can humanely possible without rushing/touch-and-go) as opposed to depth (i.e. spending much more time within Shikoku than what I allocated); though I would be open to considering more days at selected locations if you have strong recommendations. My thought is to experience how different autumn is at various parts of the country (if possible), and maybe winter too (to a certain degree).
  2. Due to the nature of my travel, I note that luggage logistics is a critical consideration when moving between prefectures; my thought is to park that luggage at the next hotel as quickly as possible so that I can free myself for sightseeing within the vicinity, or leave the luggage at the hotel after I check out until I am ready to travel to the next location. I will need to send (quite a fair bit of) emails to the hotels to confirm on this prior to booking.
  3. I will attempt to minimize transit time between prefectures to no more than 2~3 hours a day to avoid having excessively long transport days (except the initial Tokyo Kagawa jump).
  4. Because of the long trip, I will also need to factor a bit of downtime at night for administrative stuff (e.g. catching up a little bit on work, laundry etc).
---------
Shikoku (~7 days)
Specific thoughts while planning:
  1. I will need to exploit Limited Express trains as much as possible to minimize downtime between the 4 prefectures. Fortunately, for the most part these train frequencies are almost hourly, thus missing one train isnt too deadly consequence-wise.
  2. The transfer between Kochi and Ehime [Matsuyama] is oddly quicker via express bus as opposed to trains (!)
  3. For Kochi, my opinion is that it is best explored on car instead of public transport [it’s a really wide prefecture]; I feel that 1 day may not do it justice, but it is probably adequate for exploring the city centre as a whole.
  4. There's a fair bit of uncertainties while planning this leg so I would deeply appreciate any advice you may have.
  5. This current iteration is unable to weave in the Shikoku Mannaka Sennen Monogatari sightseeing train [四国まんなか千年ものがたり] ; if you people think its something not to be missed do let me know and I will reshuffle my timetable as such.
Day 0: Tokyo Kagawa (Sunrise Seto) [Saturday, 11 Nov]
Day 1: Kagawa (Takamatsu) [Sunday, 12 Nov]
Day 2: Kagawa (Kotohira) Tokushima (Iya Valley) [Monday, 13 Nov]

Day 3: Tokushima (Iya Valley) [Tuesday, 14 Nov]
[Post-research note: I realized that there is NO public transport to Mount Tsurugi on a weekday. I will have to rent a taxi direct to Mount Tsurugi, make the 'climb', then thereafter take the taxi down to the other attractions. I am inclined to just go full hog on the private taxi and rent it (almost the whole day, probably 7~8 hours for 4300yen/hour) to save the trouble.
Otherwise, I will need to hike downhill which can be rather rough since its just a single lane road (looking at nearly 10++ km) so I think it wise not to penny pinch in the interest of both time and safety.]
Spend the day at Iya Valley.

Day 4: Tokushima (Iya Valley) Kochi (Kochi) [Wednesday, 15 Nov]

Day 5: Kochi (Kochi) Ehime (Imabari) [Thursday, 16 Nov]

Day 6: Ehime (Matsuyama / Imabari) [Friday, 17 Nov]
Day 7: Ehime (Imabari) Hiroshima (Shinamani Kaido) [Saturday, 18 Nov]
I am of the opinion that 1 day in Shimanami Kaido is adequate if I attempt just the main route which is about 80km [as a test run, I did 70km and finished it within 6-7 hours with lunch breaks included]. For now I will plan for two full days, however should I truncate it down to one day later, I will add an extra day to either explore Matsuyama or Okayama.

--------
Hiroshima + Yamaguchi (~4 days)
Specific thoughts while planning:
  1. Onomichi is a pretty good base to jump to Okayama to explore Okayama, Kurashiki or Tomonoura with the Shinkansen accessibility, but it is impossible to cover them all within a single day. If I finish the Shimanami Kaido within a single day or finish it early on the second day, I will have that extra time to visit those.
  2. There's another sightseeing train etSETOra from Onomichi to Hiroshima but it only operates on Monday/Friday/Saturday/Sunday. For now the schedule could fit the train timetable pretty nicely.
  3. Would anyone suggest visiting Miyajima in the morning or in the evening? This would help me determine the order for the Kintaikyo Bridge/Miyajima day trip. Watching the sunset at either destination is pretty good in my books.

Day 8: Hiroshima (Shinamani Kaido Onomichi) [Sunday, 19 Nov]
Ideally reach Onomichi just around lunch or earlier. Chill for the rest of the day, and if I'm still up for it, explore Onomichi, including but not limited to:
Retire at a guesthouse/hotel near JR Onomichi that I have forwarded the luggage to.

Day 9: Hiroshima (Onomichi, Takehara+Kure OR Tomonoura OR Okayama) Downtown Hiroshima) [Monday, 20 Nov]

Day 10: Hiroshima (Downtown Hiroshima) [Tuesday, 21 Nov]
Spend the day surveying Hiroshima proper.

Day 11: Hiroshima (with a day trip to Yamaguchi) [Wednesday, 22 Nov]
--------
Shimane + Tottori (4 days)
Specific thoughts while planning:
  1. Matsue becomes the main jump point for Shimane just because of the subsidized highway bus from Hiroshima, and ease of access towards Tottori later. There's no direct train between Hiroshima and Izumo/Matsue (!).
  2. Tottori is really wide size-wise, to the point that it feels more efficient to have two separate hotels in two nights (Kurayoshi/Misasa Onsen + downtown Tottori) rather than one hotel for two nights (i.e. downtown Tottori). Could be just me making excuses to get into an onsen ryokan however.
  3. Is there anything interesting at Yonago (Tottori) that I should take note of? Based on my initial survey nothing in particular pops up (other than the Tottori Prefectural Flower Park).
  4. Skipping Tottori Castle since it doesn’t seem to be interesting at first glance. Any other interesting things to at Tottori downtown (or nearby)?

Day 12: Hiroshima Shimane (Matsue) [Thursday, 23 Nov]

Day 13: Shimane (Izumo / Matsue) [Friday, 24 Nov]

Day 14: Shimane (Matsue) Tottori (Kurayoshi) [Saturday, 25 Nov]

Day 15: Tottori (Kurayoshi Tottori) [Sunday, 26 Nov]

-----------
Hyogo, Kyoto, Osaka , Nara, Mie (10 days)
Specific thoughts while planning:
  1. Kinosaki Onsen is intentionally designed to be a slow-paced leg to recover [and also to make time to enjoy the onsens].
  2. The limited express train between Kinosaki Onsen and Osaka stops by Himeji thus I thought of resting a night there instead of doing day trips via Osaka.
  3. Osaka itinerary does look sparse but that is in large part because I have already visited most of them in the past. Nevertheless, I would like to experience how different it is in autumn compared to summer [based on those few destinations that I loved going previously].
  4. I have kept one float day to decompress, OR shift to any of the other prefectures (TBC).
  5. There are (multiple) special limited express train by Kintetsu; they're not covered by JR pass but nevertheless I would love to ride on those as an experience. The Kintetsu pass covers the basic fare only but based on my preliminary cost estimate, it is still worth getting it.
  6. Is it feasible to compress Himeji and Kobe to a single day?
  7. The itineraries for Osaka, Kyoto, Nara and Mie are flexible since they're literally beside one another - makes it particularly easy to shift around base on ground situation.

Day 16: Tottori (Tottori) Hyogo (Kinosaki Onsen) [Monday, 27 Nov]

Day 17: Hyogo (Kinosaki Onsen + Northern Kyoto (Amanohashidate) day trip) [Tuesday, 28 Nov]
Day 18: Hyogo (Kinosaki Onsen Himeji) [Wednesday, 29 Nov]
Retire at Himeji for the night.
Day 19: Hyogo (Himeji Kobe) Osaka (Dotonburi) [Thursday, 30 Nov]
Day trip to Kobe, before continuing further down to Osaka.
Day 20: Osaka [Friday, 1 Dec]
Osaka Nostalgia (acid) trip, speedrun edition: revisiting places that I want to go again
Day 21: Osaka (Nara day trip) [Saturday, 2 Dec]
Spend a day in Nara.
Day 22: Osaka (Mie day trip) [Sunday, 3 Dec]
Day trip to Mie.
Day 23: Osaka ('north' Kyoto day trip) [Monday, 4 Dec]
(north) Kyoto day trip.
Whichever choice, return back to Osaka for the night. Look out for Kyoto-specific food such as Yudofu, Saba Sushi, Warabi Mochi, Nishin Soba (にしんそば) etc.
Day 24: Osaka ('south' Kyoto day trip) [Tuesday, 5 Dec]
(south) Kyoto day trip edition (mainly Uji and Fushimi).
Head back to Osaka and retire for the night. Consider doing any other night activities in Osaka if time, and body permits.
Day 25: Osaka (wildcard) [Wednesday, 6 Dec]
Spare day to do whatever I feel like doing OR reallocate this to another prefecture. Intentionally left blank for later planning
-------------
Kanazawa, Gifu+ (4 days)
Specific thoughts while planning:
  1. Is it likely for the skiing season to open around 9~10 December at Shiga Kogen or Nozawa Onsen? Would very much like to try skiing for fun, but am uncertain if the snow condition would be satisfactory by then. Some of the skiing website indicates that these two destinations are usually the first to open. I would like to seek advise on this if possible [never skiied before].
  2. As an additional question to point 1, is 2 days adequate just to get a flavor on skiing?
  3. Kanazawa is a pretty solid jump point to Shirakawago/Takayama via express buses (~1 to 2 hour one way).
  4. My initial planning considered going to Kurobe Gorge (Toyama) but apparently the railways are closed from December onwards. Please correct me if I am mistaken.
  5. Another sightseeing train in Kanazawa that I can fit in nicely in my current plans (花嫁のれん), runs on Mon/Fri/Sat/Sun.
Day 26: Osaka Ishikawa (Kanazawa (Kanazawa cityside)) [Thursday, 7 Dec]
Any outstanding spots not completed today, to be rolled over to the next 2 days (if possible).

--------------
Tokyo (~6 days)
Specific thoughts while planning:
  1. Specific interest to target: anime/vtuber stuff, music (piano in particular), bookstores etc.
  2. This is the point in time I should go ham on souvenier purchase if I have not done so. I'll probably get an extra cardboard box or duffel bag to lug with me to the airport to store extra stuff.
  3. Would like to seek recommendation on where I should set my base for the 5~6 days here. For now I am planning to pit at Ginza, subject to availability and cost. My thought is that as long as its along the Yamanote line everything rolls I suppose.
  4. Hard pass on Golden Gai on the Shunjuku leg (I do not drink).
  5. There's way too many to list in terms of what I would like to do in Tokyo, but I have listed items that are of particular interest to me first within the available time frame. If you have strong opinions on specific locations do let me know.
Day 30: Ishikawa (Kanazawa) Tokyo (Ginza) [Monday, 11 Dec]

Day 34: Tokyo (wildcard) [Friday, 15 Dec]

Day 35: Tokyo Home [Saturday, 16 Dec]
END
---------------------
If you're still reading up to this point, here's my own personal ramblings/thoughts on JR pass usage:
I have thought of two ways of doing this for the first 21 days:
a. easy-mode : just get 21 days JR global pass before the price hike at 60450 yen, OR b. hard-mode: get a 7 day JR global pass (to cover the NEX fees, the basic fee on the Sunrise Seto to Shikoku, as well as limited express trains within Shikoku) (29650) + 5 days for JR Okayama Hiroshima Yamaguchi Area Pass (15000) + 4 days for JR Sanin Okayama Area Pass + 5 days for JR Kansai Wide Area Pass (10000) for a total of 59230.
The initial conclusion was to go with option A since that reduces the administrative burden, but I realized the individual passes do have its own perk which truimphs over the global JR pass. For instance, the Sanin Okayama Area Pass provides a (minor) discount for the Adachi Museum of Art; the Kansai Wide Pass covers the Kyotango route between Kinosaki Onsen and Amanohashidate which the global JR pass does not cover, JR Okayama Hiroshima Yamaguchi Area Pass covers JR buses within Hiroshima for free, therefore I am inclined to go with the hell option (option B) as it stands.
For the remaining 14 days, I could also get the global 14 day JR pass at 47250 yen but it is not worth it at all, because I will be relying largely on Kintetsu for the Osaka/Kyoto/Nara/Mie leg which the JR pass most certainly does not cover.
So all in all, there's quite little incentive to get the global JR pass after I worked out my schedule, apart from the initial 7 days for the Sunrise Seto jump which the All Shikoku Pass will not cover.
Through the hodge-podge of multiple area passes, it works out to around 102890 yen for the whole trip of 35 days, contrast with 107700 yen for a 21 + 14 global JR pass. While there's a minor cost saving doing the hard way which sweetens the deal, the additional minor perks associated with the area passes sells it for me, as I would had to pay more out of pocket to cover non-JR pass buses/rails and such which would add up to much greater cost than I would had anticipated. Also, if I did this trip post-price hike in October, the calculus becomes a no-brainer: avoid the global JR pass like the plague.
