The best way to find a movie is to find a movie you want to see.
It's not something that someone else tells you to watch. Can I watch the Tora-san series for free? I have downloaded and saved all of them because they used to be on the internet for free.

People who are good at DYI

Question

Hi ！ I have a question to ask for the wisdom of someone who is good at DYI.

If the surface of a table or desk has become bumpy due to deterioration, I would sand it and apply some sort of varnish, but I am looking for a way to avoid a sticky surface after completion.

I can't say it well, but I want to avoid a situation where the paper sticks to the surface when I put it down to write, or the paint temporarily sticks to each other.

I wish I could lay something down, but it is difficult to find a material that is perfect and easy to work with.

If you have any information on how and what to use, please let me know 🙏

Any other ideas are welcome.

Right now I just want to get the surface of the coffee table clean and ready for study.

Thank you very much.

Of course I will ask on the sales floor. But they recommended something not for furniture. At the time I bought it as I was told. So I asked here. When I go to a home center, I have my own place and I think I have some knowledge, but sometimes there are some who do not.

Thank you for the detailed and specific advice, ignorant ！ I will be careful when I apply it.

pooske, thanks for even linking to the product ！ I forgot about Youtube. I would like to buy it on homedepot.

It seems that if you apply a thick coat at once, the inside of the coating does not dry out and becomes sticky.
The trick seems to be to apply thin coats and let them dry completely, and repeat, well, the same as other people's comments. Another idea is to lay down a plastic or acrylic board.

Hello, I have lived in CA for over 20 years and I thought CA was a great place to live, the climate is wonderful and there are a lot of Asians.　There have been many policies that I don't agree with, but now they are so far to the left that I find them unacceptable, especially in the area of anti-Corona measures and schooling
I am so tired of living in this state that I don't even care about the climate anymore.
In terms of politics, I can't speak loudly enough about conservative views, and many Japanese people don't agree with me at all in terms of corona measures
We have become estranged since the corona disaster.　I have met many Americans who share similar values, but I have not met any Japanese who share the same opinions, and I would
like to make your acquaintance if you feel the same way. If you have different values, please do me a favor and don't come through.　Thank you in advance.

pick up my luggage, go to customs and declare that I have a dog
and present my documents etc. ？

Visa is not required to bring a dog on board. The following website has a detailed article by a person who brought a small dog back to the U.S. as carry-on.
https://chufam6.com/travel-dog/
Japanese airlines do not allow carry-on dogs. You will have to check it in as cargo in a cage. Please check with your airline.

It's visa related.
F1, bringing a dog ～ It may not be considered as studying abroad
If there is a dog quarantine and documents, dogs may not be worried
Humans may be suspected of entering for other purposes and may be placed in a separate room.

Remittance at WISE

I am interested in sending money through WISE.

https://wise.com/jp/blog/how-to-use-wise

Even though I read the step-by-step on this official website

① Japanese residents can send money from their Japanese bank account to →

② There are only two explanations: → Overseas residents transfer money from their overseas bank account to

Japanese bank account.
This may be the only possible explanation, but
Just to be sure, I would like to ask someone who is familiar with Wise


③ A resident in Japan can transfer money from his/her own US bank account to → a Japanese ？


I am a Japan resident, but I still have my own bank account at Union Bank because I was in LA until last month.

Can a Japanese resident use WISE to transfer money from a Union Bank account in the US to a Japanese bank account ？

and if so, how?

The step-by-step on the official page mentioned earlier does not describe how to send money in this way at all, of course, so

If anyone knows, please tell me as specifically as possible. Please.

The Diet members, or rather the LDP members, elected by the Japanese people have made the decision.
What is the use of a Japanese person living in the U.S. expressing an opinion about it ？
If you want to do it, do it, because major export-oriented Japanese companies are doing well and there seems to be plenty of room for tax revenues. But the benefits to doing it should be clear. In companies, clarify the advantages and disadvantages. Anyway, you are all members of the Diet and the first party as determined by democracy.

I am a recent immigrant to the US.
I posted here because I had some questions.
Thank you very much.

I went to HOME DEPOT to buy what is called "petit petit sheet" in Japan and "bubble wrap" in the US
.

I found two kinds of petit petit wrap there,

① 3.93ft × 5.90ft(120cm × 120cm)

② 12'' × 100'


① have centimeter notation and are easy to understand, but

② have only this notation, with two commas on the 12 and one on the 100.
Sorry, I just came from Japan and this kind of notation is still new to me.

How many centimeters is this in centimeters × How many centimeters does this mean ？

Please let me know if you know.

Sorry.

① 3.93ft × 5.90ft(120cm × 120cm)

② 12'' × 100''

This one ① was written wrong.


The exact notation was

① 3 ． 93FT × 5 ． 90FT （ 120CM ＋ 60CM ）

.
Originally this petit petit seems to be 120CM × 120CM size, but
it is described as 50% more now only, 60CM （ perhaps 60CM × 60CM ？ ） is enclosed with the extras Since

"120CM ＋ 60CM" I wonder if it is listed as "120CM 60CM".


Also, sorry I have a new question.

② 12'' × 100''

The petit petit has a price of ＄ 12 ． 98 and next to that price it says "THAT'S ONLY 26 CENT"
.
what does this mean ？

incidentally

① 3 ． 93FT × 5 ． 90FT （ 120CM ＋ 60CM ）

is ＄ 1 ． 80, but there is no such indication here, only price.

perhaps a discount to the price per piece, but
① how many cents would ② be calculated in terms of 26 cents ？

sorry for all the questions.
kind person, please tell me. Thank you very much.

$ 12.98 ÷ $ 0.26 = 50

I thought the expression was that one sheet is 26 cents.
