I won't say the names they gave me in case these are good likenesses. I doubt it, and they were common enough, but no reason to put anyone at slightly increased risk of anything.
But anyway.
This is the best I could do for the Like a Dragon character introductions. Idk wtf kanji anyone would use for e.g. "John" anyway. Yeah, yeah. I know, people would just pick a new one, but gdi. It bugs me!

I'd want whatever my name's etymology would be, in the closest name choice for that language. It feels silly either way, but eh. Whatever makes life bearable.

What is Binary?

According to novaTopFlex, the sole reason to mention binary is if and when mentioning binary digits. For instance, 1000 is 8 in binary, so 8 in binary is 1000. What is 6 in binary? What is 7 in binary? The correct answers, of course, would be 110 and 111, respectively.

Lodging to Affordable Living 🏡: Motel Conversions in the Four Corners Region

The following working list identifies those motels and hotels that have been converted into dwellings for the unhoused, those with special needs, and/or to provide affordable housing options in cities across the Four Corners Region of the southwestern United States (the states of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah). These housing options may include, but not be limited to:

• Income-based housing;
• Section 8 housing;
• Housing for those with special needs
• Housing for needy seniors;
• Housing for young adults and/or women;
• Housing for those returning to society from recovery programs or incarceration;
• Inexpensive housing/studios for artists;
• Veterans housing; as well as
• Transitional/interim housing for unhoused individuals or families.

Motel conversions provide another tool for municipalities for combating homelessness, gentrification, and rising housing costs. It also helps revitalize and reinvigorate older highway commercial districts such as Historic U.S. 66 in New Mexico and Arizona or Old U.S. 40 in Colorado. In some cases, such a conversion from lodging to affordable living quarters may require amendments to local zoning codes to allow such housing options in commercial zoning districts.

Peace!

Lodging to Affordable Living 🏡: Motel Conversions in the Four Corners Region

The following working list identifies those motels and hotels that have been converted into dwellings for the unhoused, those with special needs, and/or to provide affordable housing options in cities across the Four Corners Region of the southwestern United States (the states of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah). These housing options may include, but not be limited to:

• Income-based housing;
• Section 8 housing;
• Housing for those with special needs
• Housing for needy seniors;
• Housing for young adults and/or women;
• Housing for those returning to society from recovery programs or incarceration;
• Inexpensive housing/studios for artists;
• Veterans housing; as well as
• Transitional/interim housing for unhoused individuals or families.

Motel conversions provide another tool for municipalities for combating homelessness, gentrification, and rising housing costs. It also helps revitalize and reinvigorate older highway commercial districts such as Historic U.S. 66 in New Mexico and Arizona or Old U.S. 40 in Colorado. In some cases, such a conversion from lodging to affordable living quarters may require amendments to local zoning codes to allow such housing options in commercial zoning districts.
