In theory fission power could be of benefit, if we can get it to work and more importantly if it can be done economically without the massive subsidies out of the public purse which is the only thing that has kept the nuclear fusion energy business going.

In the USA where every lunatic and his aunt carry’s a gun not fighting back is wise advice. Yes they are insured, but what do you think happens when you claim? Next year your premiums go through the roof. This can drive a small business out of business and the employees out of work.

If as in Japan guns are very unlikely and you have a pole arm that keeps the scum out of reach so much the better.

I do hope the bikes were owned by them, given the feeble attempt to hide their identity it’s unlikely they were stolen.

And yet the limitations and procedures imposed on the trial are designed to embarrass and discourage women, don’t suppose they are trying to ensure its failure do you?

Elon Musk said executives and government leaders should "speak authentically”

Inauthentic usage.

Thuban, regurgitating old Muscovite propaganda that has been conclusively discredited doesn’t make it any more true. The only people who have been repeatedly documented as using cluster munitions on civilian targets are the rapist rabble from ruski mir. Ukraine doesn’t waste its ammo it uses it to turn Muscovite slave armies in to fertiliser.

It's that cliche of children hiding behind the sofa

It was a cliché for the upper middle classes. Most families wouldn't have enough room in their houses to get behind a sofa

What utter codswallop.

As it happens I was hiding behind my mothers legs watching the first episode. Much safer, no monster could possibly get me there, and I could still see the screen!

Personally I think it has lost its way recently, the scripts and storylines have not been very good and while I like Jodie Whittaker and much of her work she was not right for the part, though she wasn’t given much of a chance with the dire scripts she was given to work with.

In the northern sector of Avdiivka the russians have lost approximately 10,000 men for the glorious success of capturing two fields. How many million will they lose capturing the heavily fortified city. Just one suburb of Donetsk. But poo tin doesn’t care, the sacrifice will be worth it for his glory and as one russian officer said, russian women will breed more.

F1 is past its sell by date. Motor racing originally helped stimulate technical development in cars. If it is to retain any relevance (other than money for a few) it needs to open up competition to non ICE vehicles instead of so regulating the entry so as to stifle real technological competition.

a new type of discrimination??

No a statement of fact.

Venison, yum yum!

Would the average Japanese eat Venison, I don’t know if it is popular in Japan?

Farmers of traditional smoked daikon pickles,

I REALLY want to meet a farmer who plants and produces "smoked daikon pickles". Maybe he can give me some tips on smoking baconYubaruToday  08:05 am JST

Wolfshine, may be I missed it but there didn’t appear to be any plan to ban CBD only the synthetic equivalents to THC.

Admittedly banning psychoactive drugs without addressing the psychological causes or other stressors and problems leading to people seeking this route to cope with their situation is pointless and ultimately a failure. The Portuguese model should be applied far more widely.

Fighto!

Hard to believe that Argentina was once a very wealthy, first world nation. Where did it all go wrong

Thatcher started the Falklands conflict for her own political gain

Utter and complete ignorant boll*cks. The desperate and failing Argentine military Junta launched the invasion as a populist move to prop up their hold on power. The UK and Thatcher had no option but to react though every effort was made to get them to leave peacefully.

The Peronist’s have always espoused populist left wing/socialist policies regardless of what label is applied to them and have progressively destroyed the country’s economy, leaving the population in dire straits.

Milei purports to be a libertarian, though whether he is in the traditional John Stuart Mill sense or not or just misapplying the label and he is just another populist loose cannon will soon be seen.

Love the way the leaves colour the path. Would be even more spectacular when the leaves are still on the trees.

And developing nuclear weapons and repeatedly threatening violence against their neighbours doesn’t “raises tension in the region and brings a new arms race”,. Sadly King Fatboy is incapable of irony so it’s just standard NK hypocrisy.

Piskian, why on earth would someone downvote your comment?

A very fine actor, so many great performances across the years. Always remembered him in White Mischief but he was in so much more. Another great talent has gone.

Japantime

Wow. That is amazing. Japan is one of the most popular countries to visit due to history and a leader in technology

yep, dig the high tech fax machines!

Do not comprehend the whining at increased tourism and consequent inflow of money, sounds selfish, self centred and entitled. Over tourism can be a problem in popular spots bur complaints need to be addressed to those failing to manage it properly and not selling effectively less crowded destinations, not the tourists.

Nice bus.

They can't do that when their island is sinking due to rising seas. Eventually, all 11,000 residents will have to leave. Probably to Australia

I am sure China will be happy to accommodate them in recompense for all their pollution causing the climate change that is drowning their island home!

To very slightly misquote what was famously said in another case “she would wouldn’t she”.

A greater deterrent would be a long sentence in Cambodia, I doubt the conditions will be congenial. Then deport them to be tried and imprisoned in Japan.

Make peace

Peace is easy, poo tin can make peace in less than a day, just withdraw his rapist rabble of an army and stop the illegal genocidal attack on Ukraine, pay for th damage they have caused and submit himself to The Hague.

Japan just needs to decide how much of its soul it is willing to sell for oil.

GBR48, totally agree (not totalitarian agree of course :) ).

Outranking = out ranging.

As South Korea has nato standard artillery, outranking the ancient soviet based and mainly towed artillery the NK forces have in fixed positions, counter battery fire could rapidly silence them. A point that should be politely pointed out to them and then leave them to continue frothing impotently at the mouth as usual.

Meant to add, agree it’s an utter wast of time, money and resources to prosecute a dead woman, unless they intend to use it to highlight the utter failure and inadequacy of the authorities in this case. Yes I know there are two chances of that happening, fat and no!

Reading the headline I was amazed to learn how a dead woman killed two people! Oh god the zombie apocalypse is upon us!

Surely there was a solution other than murder/suicide. Accepting that the authorities ans society failed her utterly, if it was me I would have left them at a nursing home or the social services offices and refused to take them back, forcing them to act. If they sent her to prison, they still would need to find a place for them. All better than 3 deaths.

One finger and they indefinitely suspend the entire training, what would they do for the two finger gesture they will undoubtedly learn now they periodically carry out joint training exercises with British squaddies?

While no one was hurt (except the feelings of some reporter who will no doubt need counselling after the horrific event) it was an act of indiscipline which can not be tolerated in any military, though the reaction was disproportionate. Haul him off and firmly punish the individual so the rest are well aware of the consequences but don’t stop the training, that just encourages the unruly elements.
