Posted in: 101 dead in Nepal floods after relentless monsoon rains See in context
PS Sorry I didn't state that properly. The heat causes more water to evaporate, so more moisture is absorbed by the atmosphere. I hope that's right.

The warmer atmosphere can absorb more water, so when it rains or snows, there is a lot more moisture in the atmosphere that makes a lot more rain and snow. I'm 44, but what is it going to be like when I'm 90?

At the same time, parts of Japan are being flooded by rain. What's going on? Climate change?

People are on death row for a reason. They did something horrible, usually murder. No reason to be nice to them.

Some friends of mine have read that they are letting Ohtani hit homers and steal lots of bases because of the publicity it gets for the sport. What do you think? And why Ohtani?

A couple of friends of mine have heard that the other teams are letting Ohtani get home runs and steel bases because of the publicity that baseball gets. This is a way to bring back crowds and make everyone a lot of money. Really???

The Japanese firm didn't make the exploding walkie-talkies. The explosives were added after the product arrived in the Middle East.

I agree. Harris totally outshined Trump. So of course, he doesn't want more debates. Trump failed. I hope Harris wins.

Posted in: Harris calls on Americans to reject divisions and defeat threat of Trump's candidacy See in context
Harris has to be careful. Remember that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016, but Trump won the Electoral College and became president. Isn't it time to abolish the Electoral College? For some states, the delegates do not have to follow the wishes of their constituents.

Inspiring story! One thing to keep in mind now is that, well, this may not be a good way to state this, but the atom bombs dropped on Japan are like fire crackers compared to modern atomic bombs. The damage will be so much greater if these modern weapons are used. So I hope her story can be widely heard. Especially, save the kids!
