66 residences? why not 48?

Just a little tremor, nothing serious.

Eventually they'll force drivers to accept autonomous drive technology in their vehicles, even though most drivers are uncomfortable with that concept. Agree with NeverSubmit, only this technology can be effective in such situation. Too many cars and narrow roads will always lead to accidents because there is a large number of inexperienced drivers. Such technology not only can stop the car before the obstacle, it can limit the speed where this is required. We are living in XXI century, so the solutions should be adequate to the times.

I walk on the left side of the sidewalk. If I walk on the right side, then I hit bump into people :)

Well I do admit that in co-ed schools guys are more pushy than girls and get to ask the questions.

2020hindsights, you are talking about Japanese schools? For example in Ukraine we had the completely opposite situation: girls are much more active than boys and ask questions more often. However the mental development of boys and girls is equal, boys are just more quiet. Though I don't know about the situation in Japan, maybe it is different.

Very sad. RIP to the boy. Japanese government should introduce those new systems which can automatically stop the car if there are any obstacles on the road. On mandatory basis of course. It should be on every car in the country, I think this is possible, there are not so many old cars in Japan. And I agree with Erik Lars, they should introduce much stricter rules about using smart-phones by the drivers.

Mr. Nakai is wrong. What I've really seen is that girls develop faster only physically, but NOT mentally, never. And this is not a problem at all, this has never been a problem for anyone. Students who want to study are studying. Another issue is socialization that is one of the most important factors in such early age. Such segregated schools are absolutely unnatural. Do we really want even wider gap between sexes than we currently have? I don't think Japan needs this.

I don't think this thing is a good idea. We are not robots are we don't have to look like robots. I like women who look just like women. Breasts are ok, they are not evil :)

Turn off all pachinkos, pachinkos are evil and wasting too much energy. Also a lot of elevators in the department stores and subway can be safely turned off if there are stairs and not so many floors in the building. But I don't agree that all nukes should be abandoned, we can duplicate all critical systems (several times) and leave the safest nukes. Japan should also think about using its huge geothermal energy resources, that is used only in onsens now.

fantastic babe

It's Friday 13th after all :)
