Masumame (枡豆) is a wooden box originally used to measure rice, but nowadays used to hold the beans for scattering (scaring off oni) at Setsubun.
The shape is considered lucky as 'masu' (枡) is also a homonym for ' 増す' & '益す', suggesting 'increased' (fortune).

Oni (鬼) - Setsubun has its roots in a Chinese folk custom called Nuó (傩). In the 8thC this religious tradition arrived in Japan as 'Tsuina' (追儺), a 'ritual to exorcise evil spirits on the last day of winter'.
It was necessary to physically drive away unwanted spirits. -

Our friends over at Itotatsu (いと達) sell some charming sweets for Setsubun: red oni (赤鬼), blue oni (青鬼), and oni pants (おにのパンツ).
Named after a famous children's song, the wagashi depict oni and their tiger-pelt loincloths. -
For those wondering about the ear-worm that is "Oni-no-Pantsu" (おにのパンツ).

https://youtu.be/iazbC7o5-bISo why are oni (鬼) associated with Setsubun, and why are they wearing tiger-pelt loincloths?
One common belief is that their physical appearance is an embodiment of the unlucky N.E. direction, known as 'Kimon' (鬼門), lit. 'Demon Gate', in Chinese Taoism and esoteric Onmyōdō.

So why are oni (鬼) associated with Setsubun, and why are they wearing tiger-pelt loincloths?
One common belief is that their physical appearance is an embodiment of the unlucky N.E. direction, known as 'Kimon' (鬼門), lit. 'Demon Gate', in Chinese Taoism and esoteric Onmyōdō.
In Taoism and Onmyōdō the directions are each assigned 1 of the 12 Chinese Zodiac animals (or a combination).
The N.E. is 'Ushitora' (丑寅), 'Ox Tiger'.
It has been suggested that oni (horns, teeth, strength and loincloth) evolved as a representation of this directional name. -
👋🥜THE ORIGINS OF SETSUBUN👹
Setsubun ushered in the first season of the new year. It was a period when the boundaries between our world and the spirit world grew weak, and so people took care to make sure to drive away any spirits that might have wandered into the home.

#KyotoOriginally people would bring tools and outside items into the house to protect them from the spirits. Rice cakes were left at doorways and windows to keep the hungry ghosts at bay.
In Tottori a talisman of holly and dried sardine heads (柊鰯) is still used as an anti-oni charm.

The bean scatterer is traditionally a male family member born on the zodiac sign of the new year (年男), or else the male family head🙄
For good luck family members eat 1 soybean for each year of their life, plus 1 extra for the new year.

How old you are at Setsubun is based on 'kazoedoshi' (数え年), the traditional system of calculating age in Japan. A child is counted as 1 year old at birth, and on New Year's Day (old Japanese calendar) another year is added.
Happy Birthday to Nao-san! She's a Setsubun baby🎂🥳🥂

Bank apps, govt apps, car apps, parking apps: all needed things that just work on Android or iOS. And most require a trusted device to boot, can't even root. This duopoly is much stronger than anything on servers, desktops or cars, and I can't see a way for alternatives to exist unless they can run Android apps *and* pretend to comply to SafetyNet. Getting Waydroid to successfully comply to safetynet checks would be huge, but ultimately it would be an arms-race.
This is a long-winded way to say "I'd love to use a gnome or kde phone, but nope".

Ritorno a Monte Livata - o della fine della montagna di massa
«Di fronte alle Olimpiadi che si stanno per aprire a Cortina, il declino delle aspiranti Cortine degli Appennini pone una domanda che riguarda molte aree montane: ha ancora senso investire in modelli turistici ad alto consumo idrico in territori che l’acqua non l’hanno mai avuta in abbondanza?»

@ju azz giusto, correggo.

@graffio gli "ottimisti" spesso non sanno nemmeno di cosa stanno parlando perché o non hanno mai compilato due righe di codice oppure l'unica cosa che sanno fare è compilare due righe di codice con la pretesa di spiegarci cosa è la vita a partire da porte logiche e compilatori. L'effetto è comunque di passare come naturale (che invoca rassegnazione e adattamento) ciò che i vece è culturale e storico (che invoca scelte).
