Not a sinkhole. Sinkholes are caused by water movements removing u/g soils

Care to check that definition again? I’m tired of so called experts on this website thinking they know absolutely everything. Who are you trying to impress, other gaijin who also have no life?

Posted in: Japan lifts megaquake warning See in context

Not really @Gazman as last weeks quake wasn’t strong enough to be deemed a mega quake on the scale mentioned in the past. An advisory seems sufficient to me and people should take precautions as always. Also the pair in question was the only one as far as I can tell and two years apart is a rather long timeframe.

Posted in: Japanese worried and confused after first-ever megaquake advisory See in context

Closed the beaches but how many commuter rail services and offices were closed as well for this measure. If there were a mega quake, I'd rather be on a beach than inside a crowded moving train or an office building.

Are you kidding? It’s an advisory, therefore people need to carry on daily activities as normal such as mandatory things like work. Trips to the beach aren’t deemed necessary. In the event of an earthquake of this magnitude, the majority of deaths would come from the ensuing tsunami. It’s not rocket science. Comments such as this are from foreigners who think they know everything. I shake my head at hundreds of you daily. Have some common sense.

@リッチ

“I guess the child hit it or was being aggressive towards it. They don’t just bite. They are more intelligent than most people I meet.”

You guess but then make a bold statement claiming to know the habits of all wild dolphins. Don’t just assume something if you have zero facts to back it up. Wild animals, even domesticated ones, can be unpredictable at times. Do you also claim to know the behavioral traits of all humans?

Posted in: Japan hammer 10-man Paraguay 5-0 in Olympic men's soccer opener See in context

Hammers, not Hammer. There is only one Japan.

It’s a collective noun and therefore grammatically correct.
