Japan Today posts stories about all major sports championship games. The fact that some people choose to ignore that speaks to their prejudices and selfishness ("Japan Today should only post what I want to read"....wah wah wah). Yet, they still felt compelled to leave a denigrating comment, Grow up, it's not all about you.

If China is producing the drug, why are their imports being tariffed only 10% while many things from Canada and Mexico are at 25%? Why not make things more difficult for the producer in numerous other ways than tariffs and which do not involve souring relations with our neighbors?

Retirement due to a crime or a scandal is seldom permanent. Sadly, in time, people’s memories of the crime fade and the comeback begins.

For LDL-cholesterol, there is a plethora of data showing a link to dementia.

"Having high cholesterol in our 40s, 50s and 60s is associated with an increased risk of dementia." (https://www.alzheimersresearchuk.org/dementia-information/dementia-risk/cholesterol-and-dementia-risk/)

"In a population of initially-healthy older adults aged ≥75 years, high HDL-C levels were associated with increased risk of all-cause dementia." (https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanwpc/article/PIIS2666-6065(23)00281-X/fulltext)

"High intake of dietary cholesterol was associated with a decreased risk of all-cause dementia and AD dementia." (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37874096/)

Sad to hear of Lynch’s passing.

The first Lynch film I saw was Blue Velvet when it came out, and it is still as beautifully disturbing now as it was then.

Starting in 25-40 years, it will be interesting to see if cases of senile dementia increase among the non-vaccinated/recovered from Covid population relative to those who were vaccinated given that spike protein accumulation (for up to 4 years post-infection) in the brain is higher among non-vaccinated folks than vaccinated folks.

Rong, et al., "Persistence of spike protein at the skull-meninges-brain axis may contribute to the neurological sequelae of COVID-19" Cell Host Microbe. 2024 Dec 11;32(12):2112-2130.e10. doi: 10.1016/j.chom.2024.11.007. Epub 2024 Nov 29.

Well not excusing the behavior of the care worker, there is an enormous turnover in this industry. Long hours, low pay and dealing with sometimes very abusive dementia patients who are by no fault of their own confused and terrified about the situation they’re in and who’s taking care of them, cause the patient to lash out at workers. Eventually, the worker breaks down.

Those father-son moments are so special

Chernobyl enters the room

Mr Kipling

And before someone starts arguing that nuclear power is dangerous, remember the death troll from radiation at Fukushima was ONE. That was one worker whose cancer death in 2018 was put down to exposure while measuring radiation levels.

@virusrex

side note on a recent neurological study focusing on accumulation of Covid spike protein in the brain lasting up to 4 years post-infection.

seems that the amount of spike protein accumulation is less in mRNA-vaccinated subjects than non-vaccinated subjects.

So I guess all this talk about food and utilities being too high was bunk.

Is this more heinous than the Japanese nursery school teacher just sentenced for molesting numerous students?

If Japan believes the US to be unreliable in terms of Japan's defense, Japan will seek to remove Article 9 from limiting the types of weaponry (including nuclear) it can possess. Could trigger a new arms race as Korea and possibly Taiwan would seek the same.

I’m kind of surprised Trump even knew that Japanese-American citizens had been interned in America during World War II.

Aside from Trump's obvious cognitive issues, his supporters who find this type of talk from a presidential candidate as acceptable is more reflective of who they are as people.

"Psychological issues" is also two words

two words comes to mind "spoiled brat"

Had an ostrich meat burger a long time ago. Meat was juicy and felt less fatty than beef, if that makes any sense. Tasted great.

Seems like musk wants all of the benefits and none of the responsibilities of running a company.

DaDude....stop trying to jump from talking point to talking point regarding attempts at legislation regarding gun control. And stop finally landing on "So you feel nothing about DEAD CHILDREN?" faux hysterics when your other talking points fail.

Stop changing User IDs to make a point.

Got some proof of that? No, you don't. So stop deflecting.

The typical Liberal playbook- Students die, it is their fault and I have no sympathy for them because "they(under 18 year olds)" voted for this. When people are killed by illegal guns in Democrat-run/supposed gun control States, blame the Republicans then move on.

You're the only one bleating "No sympathy". The fact that many are trying to get the government to take multiple steps to stop this slaughter seems lost on you. Sympathy minus concrete steps to resolve the situation so that it does not reoccur is just meaningless "thoughts and prayers".

Forgive me if you are being sarcastic, hard to tell these days. To generally quote the Jim Jefferies line regarding well-armed citizens defending themselves against a dictatorial government, "You know you are bringing guns to a drone fight, right?"

WhiskeyGalore

It's protected under the Second Amendment, so it's okay. You know, the one that allows American citizens to arm themselves against dictatorial government.

DaDude....stop trying to jump from talking point to talking point regarding attempts at legislation regarding gun control. And stop finally landing on "So you feel nothing about DEAD CHILDREN?" faux hysterics when your other talking points fail.

The GOP has shown it prefers thoughts and prayers as the sole form of gun control.

Since sweat also contains oils, salts, etc., if they dry on the skin, that could reduce the ability to secrete more sweat. It also depends on what part of the human body that Miura is referring to as sweat rates and the capacity of evaporation dare different for a person's head and chest regions relative to their arms/legs.

It does sound like a slur that someone would throw at someone else online.

Interesting company name. I could probably get into a fight if someone called me that.

....and Betts should be back within a week.

Freddy’s back. Glasgow too. Kershaw is on track.

Fingers crossed.

It's ok, you can take the maxipad off of your ear now.

Thanks President Trump!

Let’s make it about me, right?

Mainly because of spell check programs attached to everything, I'm not thinking about the spelling of words, as much as I used to when I was younger. When I have to actually spell out some words, there have been cases (which I'm not willing to ascribe to aging, just yet), where I have that...."wait..how the heck is that spelled?" moment.

not quite how natural selection works (after menopause aside from taking care of grandkids, you are essentially evolutionary dead meat)

A collection of such posters appeared on an election board near my place. It featured that Doge shiba inu. Kinda brightened the same dreary faces that adorn the election board each election season,

Chicken!!!
