It will eventually go rancid. More oxygen getting to it and more heat will speed that up.
I keep Reese's peanut butter cup minis in the freezer when family sends them (not for sale in Japan currently). My wife likes Alfort which are chocolate + biscuit cookies and turned me on to putting those in the freezer. Somehow, it's much better that way; I didn't expect the biscuit to be changed or, if so, certainly not better, but it is.
I did this when I lived in a cheap apartment in Houston, Texas, USA. Cheap and sturdy, but we definitely had bugs.
Eggs that have been washed (i.e. had the cuticle remove) should generally be stored in the fridge or used very quickly. Eggs in either case shouldn't generally be moved from refrigerated storage to the counter unless they're going to be used very quickly because the condensation can do bad things.
I live in a hot enough climate I can't do it all year, but my butter is out except for summer. I keep it in a container that I can pull a vacuum on since a lot of spoliage is basically oxidation.
Generally, it's better. Things like mustard and most hot sauces are acidic enough to hang out outside the fridge. Ketchup is in less of a good spot this way and more prone to mold or spoilage.
The oil will not go rancid so quickly in the fridge. For example, where I live, my kitchen is about 28c right now. My homemade PB goes in the fridge.
The most practical reasons are that both the drives and media are getting harder to find.
All of those are true of even smaller USB drives (which has been a problem here).
Same except keys are clipped on a belt loop and I have a handkerchief with my wallet in my right front pocket (Japan is super humid so a lot of sweat-wiping happens). Also right-handed, but I hold my phone with my left and enter the passcode with my right hand (I don't use the fingerprint scanner)
Pre-wiping is just smearing shit around. You're almost certainly better to start with the spray.
Wiping first is just going to smear shit around and, if you have a hairy ass, get it more into the hair. Skip the pre-wipe and it will be just fine.
My bidet is a Japanese washlet and I wipe with toilet paper to dry.
As best I can tell, the samurai guy shares a name with one of the legendary 47 ronin and often leads a procession about it. It's hard to find actual policy positions.

https://onodera.akogishi.com/rinen/ appears to be the party platform which is ... odd. The filial piety/loyalty thing is a big yikes for me in most interpretations, but maybe it's more innocent than I'm reading into it (it is pretty vague in at least the couple minutes I had to poke around).
https://github.com/takahiroanno2024/election2024/issues/121 for sure. Those stupid mosquito things still feel like someone is poking my brain with a screwdriver when I walk by.
Not that I could vote even if I did still live in Tokyo. A couple of areas allow for foreign PR holders to vote for local things, but Tokyo does not allow it for the metro level.
I don't really know this guy's politics, but it is interesting to see what issues people are opening. Of course, it will only show a subset of even eligible voters, but it's still neat to read through and see what various constituents are thinking.
Those socks are weirdly nostalgic for me, but I can't quite recall when I quit wearing them for some reason.
Honestly, I feel like if districts are gonna be drawn, it'd make more sense to just choose some algorithm and have a computer do it.
Like, if you want to have non-partisan oversight of the algorithm selection, great, but I'm not at all sold that partitioning up the election map requires anything beyond a simple, mechanical process.
Agreeing on the algo, its params, etc. is going to just be another never-ending fight. It now also requires teaching any oversight committee about all of this. Even if it were left to some "non-partisan" (I'll believe it when I see it) engineer, each successive government would just replace the algo and/or engineer.
In my opinion, an algo should be legislated with its implementation forced, but I'm not holding my breath.
So the biggest problem, particularly with the currency and economy, is that Japan lacks a lot of resources so a ton of things are imported. This means that a ton of things used by normal people are going up in price, especially since corona opened the floodgates on that (Japanese makers were really resistant to changing prices but corona gave an excuse and momentum came in). For most Japanese, that's just going to impact goods and services. For most foreigners, they want to go home to see their family sometimes and their wages mean much less and flight prices get higher. Overseas vacations in general are an issue here. If there's an emergency, it's even worse.
Two types of long-release ADHD medication are currently allowed for adult ADHD in Japan. Instant release and other varieties are very illegal. Concerta was the only option until fairly recently, but now another one is allowed (though English documentation is probably behind).
