Mr Kipling comments

Police said Kanno was identified after an analysis of street surveillance camera footage taken outside the apartment building.

Those amazing street surveillance cameras again. Or is this police code for something else?

Remember, this "ban" is voluntary and has no enforcement so when the clowns in "security uniforms" tell you "NO DRINKING" just do as I do and thank them for their service but go and bother someone else.

They soon move on. I am a grown up. I can enjoy a beer without starting a riot.

In all self driving cars the self drive is initiated by the driver. The driver is responsible for any accidents caused while in control of the vehicle. The self drive is to help the driver. So if in self drive mode, the car goes through a red light causing a collision then the driver would be found mostly at fault. The driver may have a claim against the car and/or software manufacturer but the small print in the purchase manual will possibly cancel this.

why not just apply to UNESCO for World Heritage status for 7-Eleven and be done with it?

Post of the week!

Well done.

The usual bunch of westerners telling Japanese what they are allowed to eat.

The girl should be either Afghani or stateless until the time comes that she and her parents can show that they earn the right to be here.

Wallace.

if the girl is Japanese then she can't be stateless.

But she isn't Japanese. She is Afghani just like her parents. Just because her parents disagree with their government and fled doesn't alter this.

Baby should obviously also be classified as stateless.

I saw one of the Haitian immigrants in Sprinfield being interviewed. A doctor.

Yes, they always interview one of the "good ones!. Not a street gang member.

Since 1955 the LDP have been in power for all but 3 years. Don't expect this to change anytime soon. In the countryside, they vote for their feudal masters, old established LDP families. Enough to guarantee the election win.

@ Mr Kipling - you would also claim "all Japanese look the same." We've all moved on from the incorrect generalisation that all Asians look identical.

Still waiting for the Japanese version of the "Guess Who?" game...

Someone's trying to pretend Russian men haven't been escaping Russia for the past 2.5 years to escape conscription for Putin's war of ego.

Every country has people avoiding military service. Russia has had no problems finding recruits. 30,000 a month were signing up in 2023. Ukraine has now reached the bottom of the barrel. The "Ukrainians in Poland " brigade has just been announced as a figment of imagination as the Ukrainians in Poland are there to avoid the war. There were no takers. Personally, I don't blame them, they can see the writing on the wall. Why waste your life on a lost US/NATO pipe dream.

The Fu....

The Russian economy is hurting

Really? You may want to check that. Compared to the UK, most of Europe, especially Germany it is doing much better. Best not to look at Ukraine's economy. They don't have one. 40% of what they did have (the Dombas) is now under Russian control.

Fat people always looking for excuses for their excessive chubbyness. Its the sugar in drinks, its processed foods, its my metabolism.... NO, its you eating more than you need. Take responsibility.

The Russian army is a joke.

There is not a single high ranking NATO officer who would agree with you.

Ukraine now desperate as they are in dire straights in the east and the Kursk folly is now being shown for what it is. The long range option will not make a difference to the outcome but will lead to more deaths some Russian but we could be now seeing a lot more NATO casualties.

The FA have gone full woke. It was a stupid joke based on a simple truth. Koreans will all have dark, straight hair and dark eyes, making them "more or less all the same" compared to the variety of hair and eye colors in Uruguay. Son Heung-min was not offended, didn't make a complaint. They are team mates and get on well.

Dango bong...

the LDP might not win the election no matter who the select.

Don't worry, they will. They always do. It is the default setting.

I used to live in Kawaguchi Saitama, surrounded by Chinese (my wife is Chinese). Most are employed by other Chinese, no insurance, no nenkin, so they use other people's health insurance to go to the clinic. I wonder how is it the city don't stop such practice ?

Did you report it?

The Jews still get a free pass because of some bad things that happened in Europe 80 years ago.

How much longer do they get?

As a parent you are responsible for their welfare. If you are overstuffing them to the extent that their health is in danger this should be classified as neglect and the parents should be charged a special tax to pay for the future health problems their exceedingly chubby kids will have. Other tax payers should not be burdened by those who choose to be obese.

Data.....

That's an impossible question to answer.

Not really difficult. A suitable punishment would be to stand her in a pot naked, force her to vomit and then roll her up in a futon and put her in a closet until she died. All the while asking her if she had learnt her lesson.

Cake is an exceeding healthy food in moderation so maybe make the fat kids do exercise then reward them with a French Fancy or Bramley apple pie?

But does it really matter? The number of undecided voters in the swing states can be counted on one hand. For the debates to make a difference, one candidate would have to implode like Biden or say something by mistake like " I don't believe in God".. But so rehearsed and scripted and will not happen.

Only 10 years? but at least at 46 when she comes out, her chance of becoming a "mother" again will be gone.

But lost on all of them was the 9/11 message that the US misadventure overseas can come home and bite them.

Don't complain just hold up 5 fingers and laugh at the Bahrain fans while suggesting they stick to camel racing instead of soccer.

Just more of the usual US/ vassal hypocrisy... "Stop doing what we are doing".

Declare a "save zone" and then bomb it? How many times is this?

Israel is an evil apartheid state that needs to end.

There is not a single photo in the world of Mr Ishiba smiling, not one.
