I still talk to every cat that walks near me.

Not good enough.

Suspended without pay for three months.

Demoted to one level below the employee he harassed.

Placed in the baby name registration department until the employee comes in and registers her new baby. And he has to do it.

So that should be 3 months suspended and then 9 months on the name registration counter. 12 months should be enough to remind him to be human.

Real World

Driverless trains (yes, but not as many as I thought)

Digital assistant (yes, but I though much smarter. My Psion was as smart as the current iPhone, so not much has moved actually)

Maglev to Nagoya (thought they would hurry it up, but it ran into troubles)

I was genuinely asking for the source.

But you are right, I do ask that question, but only on a subject I have extensive knowledge. When someone posts something I have not found, or believe is different from my understanding, then I wish to follow-up, learn and see why there is a discrepancy.

 

And I will continue to ask the question. All I want it the poster to give a credible reference or citation on their source of information, unless they are actually stating an opinion.

If you are looking for facts on this subject, I suggest not google but here:

 

The Japanese Government Official e-Statistic site, in English.

https://www.e-stat.go.jp/en

Or may be even here.

http://www.stat.go.jp/english/index.html

 

If you want to get really interesting, try using the data from the Self-sufficiency ratio for food in calorie base report and see if you can find a positive correlation between its decline and the decline in the population or the Gross agricultural product report or the No of people engaged in fisheries report.

 

Or go here to see the same source data in another way from an independent source.

https://japancrops.com/en

 

You can even download the original data and import into a statistical analysis program like IBM's SPSS Statistics

https://www.ibm.com/products/spss-statistic

Or Microsoft Excel if you have to.

 

Now, how about that source?

@zichi

When I arrived here 30 years again, food security was about 60% now down to about 40%.

Would you please let me know where you got that information? Thank you

@Peter Neil

Japan has one of the lowest food self-sufficiency rates among major world economies

Would you please let me know where you got that information? Thank you

Oh no. An Elf just killed a baby Reindeer.

Don't they know you can't put up a Christmas Tree before December without baby Reindeer

consequences?

Does no one remember some past US President saying almost the exact same words about 20+ years ago. One of the Bush's I think. Really! Almost word for word.

Two questions come to mind to see if this product will succeed.

How many Japanese that slurp, use a fork to eat noodles?

How many foreigners that eat noodles using a fork, slurp?

If you are unaware, the Japanese version of this app is out now. Has been for about 6 weeks now. Heavy advertisements on some TV channels. The fact that they are releasing an English version is wonderful. Am somewhat curious as to why they would limit the markets though. If it's English and uses a credit card, then why the limit?

@wanderlust. Where did you get that information from? The avherald.com would be most interested as they track all commercial flight happenings. Can you please post your reliable sources?

Sorry folks, false (but still true) news. This is not new. I have been drinking Gari Gari Kun with a variety of Japanese alcohols for more than 20 years.

How to:

Take one Beer joki glass and fill 1/2 with

Get a Gari Gari Kun and put into joki.

Drink

There's a Kushiage place on the east side of Nishi-Nippori with this on the menu.

@editor. Slightly off topic.

The photo is of an MD 11. JAL retired the fleet in 2000 after having them in service since 1991. A more appropriate photo for 2017 might be one of the variations of B777 (40) or B787 (29).

@genjuro "...Starbucks burnt beans coffee." Couldn't have said it better. I thought I was the only person in the country that hated Starbucks. Apparently not. I'm assuming there's a facebook group for us to join.. oh no wait, I don't have facebook....

Why not just build a Japan platform on the Japan side of the line and suck out as much as possible? Surely, someone will then want to have meaningful talks about the situation then.

Good. Finally they have to pay for years of financial irrisposibility.

Just to be clear about the amount of Internet access out of North Korea. There are currently 1024 IPv4 addresses, no known IPv6.

Finally. I might even think about flying United now. I really hope the rest of the industry follows.

I get the feeling, if you are able to eat more than one Whopper with sides, you most likely shouldn't be eating at B. King.

Guns don't kill, the people who use them do. Answer: stay away from people with guns. Tobacco doesn't kill, the people who use it do. Answer: stay away from people who smoke.

I can see the flaming responses coming already.

$88,000 x 780,000 (victims) = $68,640,000,000.

There is the reason this is a must win for any company.

This just proves it must be an outstanding product.

No not more than usual. Check your facts before commenting. Look here http://avherald.com/ and it will at a glance tell you that there are not more than usual.

Mmmm.. They must have missed the fact that there was a mobile phone with glass-free 3D out about 3 years ago. I had one of them. The 3D was a novelty but otherwise completely useless.

hahahahahahahahahahaha. ROFLMAO

The joke of the century (so far). The pirates ate trying to sue the fishermen for piracy. Oh please stop it. It's hurting.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahah....

"non one bought any tickets".

Did you know the the pre-sale tickets where all sold out in 3 days for all 4 shows in the Kanto area? That's 40,000 pre-sale tickets! So yeah, no one was buying tickets.

My guess is that the venues where too small.

Then try to check into a domestic flight! You will be charged extra for oversized or over weight baggage.

And again this year it appears the Fuji TV broadcasts will only be in Japanese.
