I recommend getting Mirin (sweet rice wine) to add it to soy sauce dishes.
Those two are the main ingredients of Teriyaki sauce.

Sony A7C with Tamron 28-200 lens. Looked out of my bathroom window, and saw it. Went to get the camera and fired away.

... (or maybe some books)...
.

Then how about the Bobiverse series? That should fit the bill perfectly. Even has a Riker! I'm a big fan of the audio books.

And definitely Project Hail Mary as a one off.

And maybe Expeditionary Force. That one is a bit much militaristic for my taste but I got to love the audio books anyways.

The torque converter is usually always engaged, always wants to go, while holding the brake. As soon as the brakes are released the car starts rolling forward.
With the VW T4 that didn't work as on other cars since the torque converter was disengaged while stopping.
So the driver had to change to the accelerator more quickly than usual, if starting uphill.
Otherwise, since the torque converter engaged only a second after releasing the brake, the car would roll approximately 5cm backwards before going forward. (If starting without any accelerator input.)

What about dct?
There's no torque converter.
Those are often starting less smooth in my experience.

I once had a VW Transporter with torque converter that always rolled backwards slightly. (Only very slightly) It appeared that it disengaged the whole torque converter while stopped. (The rpm "relaxed" after stopping.) That was a bit weird.
