Riding a bicycle, I would much prefer all traffic to be electric so I don’t get gassed. Looking off into the distance and seeing the brown smear of pollution, yeah I won’t miss that.

This does look fun if dangerous. A little expensive. ¥17,500 for a couple hours. These are using 2-stroke engines, which are pretty dirty. Would be better if electric.

My exterminator friend told me he kills them with heat. Turn on the furnace. Radiant heaters. Hair dryers. He said it’s hard to get it hot enough to get them all. Retreatments are common.

Prices seem much higher and with shrinkflation as well. Feels closer to 30%.

Delivery has to be one of the worst jobs.

even being living with foreigners neighbors as I am, never had a problem,

Are foreigners more likely to steal packages?

leav in front of your door and let the thieves take it away. No thanks

Amazon is already doing this in my building.

Plant more oaks is a good idea.

Taking the Shinkansen without reservations from Shin-Osaka to Shinagawa, the platform was totally full of people. We estimated a 3 hour wait to board a train and decided to take the Kadama with no wait to board. It was quite a bit slower. But, was quicker without the crowding.

Will this force more boys into private High Schools?

Why are they using blue pipes?

Weirdly, I wonder why they can’t just let it evaporate?

Why once beloved?

Of course. Start with the cutting down of trees next Friday. Protesters are too late.

At least the smoking section isn’t the next table with an ashtray anymore…

How about eating less and exercising more

Semaglutide causes your stomach to empty more slowly. This physically reducing the ability to eat with becoming very uncomfortable. It also makes a lot of food unappetizing. You don’t get as hungry. And, eat smaller portions.

That said, you will still need to exercise by at least walking, yoga or something.

"Headlines I found from recent years:

2014: "Toyota to Offer High Performance Solid-State Batteries in 2020"

2017: "Toyota’s new solid-state battery could make its way to cars by 2020"

2020: "Toyota's Quick-Charging Solid-State Battery Coming in 2025"

2023: "Toyota to roll out solid-state-battery EVs as soon as 2027"

Also, hybrids are an ecological dead end. All hybrids use petroleum. 20 year fail.

I’ve heard nothing of any solid state batteries. Let alone in commercial quantities to build millions of vehicles. Vaporware.

I thought he was quite funny back in the 1980s.

I would like to see Ukraine in both NATO and the EU. And, they should let Turkey in the EU too.

No shortage of bears.

Why is this happening only after 20 years? What have been the ongoing efforts since the beginning? I think the laws should be changed to “just let her go.” If you return the girl alive, then you will get a reduced sentence. Maybe hospitalization. No matter how horrible the experience, being alive is better. Almost none of these girls are returned alive.

Most Hydrogen is made from fossil fuels. The perpetuation of Hydrogen as a viable fuel source is just FUD from the fossil fuel industries. It’s not viable.

Well, camel nose under the tent. Would be lovely to go to the pool or gym.

I understand that baseball players do pretty well with women often marry top talent/presenters. Why would he need to assault a women for sex?

Might not be popular to say, but innocent until proven guilty. She is of age. And went willingly to the hotel, I presume. Not sure what injuries sex would produce - even rough sex. But, he could be a target for extortion.

You are forgetting about their slow roll to BEV. And, PHEV don’t count anymore. But, they will be able to sell plenty of ICE vehicles for years to come in 3rd world countries. Not the most responsible thing, but there you have it.

The yen has been devalued from ¥78/$1 to ¥137/$1

almost half. Last year it was almost ¥150/$1. I won’t travel this year. I cancelled trips to Thailand and America. Maybe, I won’t ever again. It used to be cheaper to go abroad. Now, it’s not.
