No new approaches and ideas can be born from old minds.

America is kicking ass and who is at the helm? Joe Biden, an old guy...don't be ageist. Judge these people on their merits, not their age. I agree these politicians suck but it's their attitude, not their age that's the problem.

...the other day a plumber came to my house to do some work, he drove back to his home to get parts about 5 times, it was ridiculous, this might force him to actually plan the job.

Honestly, good, where I live it's just people driving around all day ruining the environment. I don't want them to have to suffer financially of course but some type of deterrent so they think twice before driving I think is a very good thing in 2023.

I ride my bike all the time, even when I don't feel like it, I take the car to do groceries or when absolutely required. I think more people should be doing this personally.

led by Mitsui Fudosan, build a pair of 200-meter skyscrapers in Jingu Gaien, mow down trees in one of Tokyo's few green areas, and raze and rebuild a historic rugby venue and an adjoining baseball stadium.

Right just what Tokyo needs more sky scrapers. So glad I got out of there...what a joke of a Mayor

Posted in: Locals, activists protest Japan gov't move to discharge Fukushima water See in context

I wish people were more rational. I know radiophobia is a real thing and it has caused enormous harm, but at this point, people really need to pay attention to the science. Geraldine Thomas and colleagues around the world should be required reading by anyone interested or involved in this topic - or at least they should take in one of her presentations. For example:

It's not "the science" people don't trust, it's corruption and dishonesty people are worried about, do you remember why the disaster occurred in the first place?

A strange choice of drug for an athlete. It is not conducive to sporting excellence.

What drug would you suggest they take ?

Alcohol is total poison, weed is wonderful for relaxation and recovery, helps you get a good night sleep before a stressful event.

It doesn't matter anymore, the reputation of Japan is tarnished no matter what happens now. The meltdowns were caused by incompetance and or corruption. Not by the Tsunami alone. The damange is done.

Now what we're left with is a "low effort" outcome, treated water containing god knows what (I bet some other trash besides just tritium ended up in the water, solvents etc) will be released into the ocean because it's the only solution they bothered to come up with.

I'm not saying it's safe or unsafe, I'm just referring to the PR disaster this is if the water is discharged.
