No pilot plane can create voluntarily an air drop.

As USNinJapan2 stated, that's why one should get seated with seatbelt on as soon as one is not in need to walk in the alley.

I wonder if someone was in the toilet at that time ;(

Posted in: S Korea starts procedures to suspend licenses of 4,900 striking doctors See in context

It is hard to understand who is right or wrong.

Usually if 93% of a large population is striking, it means politics are going the wrong side.

More doctors should please everyone, so what it is really at stake? Why not have words from the juniors doctors on strike in this article ?

Posted in: Gains from rising stocks proving elusive for most Japanese See in context

Funny that when it is too late to invest you get such articles.

You don't invest when stock exchange is peaking.

Indeed, Japanese are economically illiterate. So are many in the world.

Posted in: Ceremony held to mark 79th anniversary of U.S. firebombings of Tokyo See in context

I stand my words.

You don't honor victims when you were the agressor.

Among those 100,000 civilian victims, what percentage contributed to war efforts ? Surely a high percentage. Please give the answer.

War is insane, horrible, sad, etc. but why ever the USA would have prefered to send and lose troops on cround instead of carpet bombings ?

By the way, any single bombing is horror wherever.

Japan loves playing the victim card in hisyory books, so much that my Japanese wife does know hardly anything about WWII like most Japanese.

Posted in: Kyoto may launch tourist express bus service to handle overcrowding See in context

Dedicated lanes.

Make transport free for some lanes to gain huge amount of time when boarding/leaving.

Payback by hiking fees of tourist locations, currently faf to cheap.

And yes, make Japan rail pass more convenient otherwise possibilities are limited, so obvious, talking by experience.

Tourist passes are far too limited in Japan and makes it hard with too many choices or opposite too little.

Anyway having an aging population is making it worse with time, no solution.

I understand ceremonies about nuclear bombings.

But about others ? You don't celebrate when you were the aggressor normally. It was bound to happen and can only blame themselves.

Posted in: China nuclear plants released tritium above Fukushima level in 2022, document shows See in context

If one does not know exactly what we are talking about, here is a link below in French explaining simply about tritium discharges from nuclear plants.

It is not about the amount of Becquerel released, all is about dilution since radioactivity is also a natural phenomenon.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.asn.fr/Media/Files/Les-rejets-de-tritium-des-centrales-nucleaires&ved=2ahUKEwig1LnVkumEAxWfUqQEHTrcDDgQFnoECCcQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3Z7bYitVSOIS9-N0WoTDhr

This article has no meaning since there is no effect on pollution, with radioactivity levels remaining below international health standards under IAEA, until proven otherwise.

We have plenty of Columbos and Sherlock Hilmes here.

Hotting a few kilos boy with a truck , you may rreally not feel it, especialy if just bumped or ran over, not hit in the front.

There is no detail too why he would call police after htting guardrail.

I also wondet how police can be 100% sure he "hit" the boy (obvious blood stain? No time for analysis)

Posted in: Japan real wages fall in January for 22nd month See in context

Be warned, just the beginning.

There is no indication of economic factor that the trend will stop.

Debt is higher and going further higher due to defense investment, social care for the elder and aging society.

Posted in: Couple faces new murder charge after arrest over daughter's death See in context

Makes no sense to kill your daughter, if the original plot was about business.

Very fishy.

Also I I hate to say but why in this context one doesn't hear what the respondents have to express.

Wage/pay is not discussed.

I assume you get a pittance, while the job is demanding physically.

I wish I could go skiing in Japan. Probably one day but I am no longer a 30 year old man.

Sceneries must be magic, where there is not much crowd.

Do as you wish.

Hide if you wish to hide.

Expect photos to be taken in a public event...

Isn't that common sense ?

It is god for cheerleaders if that is their choice.

I am still sure some would show (off) more if they could. And some the opposite.

Nissan has been reducing the payments to certain component manufacturers by several percent from the previously determined amount, starting from a few years ago

You mean when Carlos. G. was held accountable for cheating the taxman ?

It seems he was the cheated for looking for findings.

I am especially astonished by the lack of national importance given to this very sad story.

Killing a child is so appalling and against nature in all sense.

Killing his own child is even worse

Killing 4 of your children is like a local genocide.

4 children less in Japan is like making disappear more than 1/200 000th of children born this year in Japan...

Japan, wake up of your nightmare !

I don't see any good use of Tiktok.

Youtube or x.com is way better.

TTT is for kids.

About music, everyone knows Universal is greedy. If you don't work physically, you should be paid a dime.

I get paid once per each report I make, not everytime one reads it...

I foresee women's right in the near future (2050) to become a high political debate. Mark my words.

Especially in Japan.

This is not a personal opinion, it is a logical result of a situation.

No children no future.

Commiying suicide to show you are right shall be done only if no other issue is possible, especially as a soldier. Otherwise you stand and go protect the innocents.

Hamas is a terrorist organization, which a large majority of Palestinians support in Gaza.

As if allies after the débarquement in Normandy would have stopped halfway...

No surrender no butter.

Innocent Palestinians are dying and I pray for those who wish peace, but the only one to blame is the Hamas not stopping. Or history would repeat unfortunately.

Don't ignore this war is about religion and Islam compare to Judaism is about war conquest.

Posted in: Japan inflation falls to BOJ target of 2% See in context

Buying power in Japan is dropping : -30% between 2003 and 2022. 2023 shall be no different if not even worse trend.

https://www.google.com/amp/knoema.com/atlas/Japan/topics/Economy/Inflation-and-Prices/Purchasing-power-parity%3fmode=amp

I see no coming change to this situation.

Do companies propose higher wages if you change company for same job ?

Can anyone say so because I have not seen this happening with all the people I know.

I bet that BOJ will not change its policy, or by a small margin only just to pretend working well.

Women prefer to enjoy their career and leisure, what do you do about it ? This is the only common link with all countries having their population to decrease. Prove me wrong. It is not about my opinion or yours, it is factual.

And Japanese population will not stop at 70 million...

Maths is no magic.

People with children should be praised as they bring the future. Only the living can mold it. Making a life and bringing up children should be considered the highest honor.

So easy to make a career at the expense of society.

Posted in: Gov't plans to require firms to set paternity leave targets See in context

Stupid objective.

Leaves shall be given when needed, not long time, not right after birth but when needed.

And it is far better if family (women) helps rather than men.

Men are for the long term (when baby cries when he is 1 or or 3 and mama is the already very tired).
