Mmmmm this should’ve been done when legit taxi companies were struggling in the pandemic period

Geez! The live video was like a bad CGI version of the 1979 Atari arcade game Lunar Lander.

LOL yes. But it wasn’t really video. It’s a graphic created that moves based on acquired data. It’s called mimic display.

OMG! Fifteen Thousand Tons of Water per second !

OMG!! Till October 15th !! How many seconds are there in 3 1/2 months?

A Trillion Times a Trillion Times a Trillion Times? 

I do NOT believe it!!

I like your enthusiasm but it’s not 15 thousand tonnes, it’s 10-15 tonnes per second, probably par for the course for valves of that bore size. Moreover, I do not suppose it will be continuously released 24x7 at that capacity.

Sorry, Badak is still operational

For Japan, the largest importer of LNG in the world, the first shipment came in from Indonesia late eighties, I think. Indonesian LNG powered Japan for decades till the Arun and Badak projects ran dry.

Absolute lunacy. School robbed poor kid of one of his proudest moments (that could’ve been). I’m guessing one of two rotten apples in school management and the rest too scared or shy to support the boy. Sigh.

Oh those hideous looking things, if you say you find them comfortable you’re either lying or haven’t ever had a good quality backpack rest on you. They’re in use only because SOME schools require that design. Else there’s no reason for them to exist.

It was heartbreaking to see Okada almost break down after every word he said at the press conference. These guys work very hard throughout the project and it must really crush them to see the whole thing bomb for a minute error.

"I made the final decision to depart on the condition that the captain make the decision to turn back if the seas got rough,"

I’m 100% confident that’s a lie. The Master (skipper) is the one ultimately responsible for all lives on board and to think that he wanted to sail out while the office boss putting a condition on this would be ridiculous. It would be conflict of interest for both parties. They killed the master, crew and passengers out of greed and negligence.

The school that my child goes to has a few rules on the “don’ts” and that’s just about it. No uniform, no draconian dress codes or hairstyle restrictions that make kids feel like robots. HE LOVES IT !!!

China needs to sit down and take a look at the UNCLOS.

Well done Kawaguchi. Really nice to see the word “welcomed” here.

Rest in Peace, Hata. Poor taste to use a picture that includes a controversial visit when the bloke’s just passed away. Seriously. This is not the time, Japan Today !

The Californian firm expects to generate $1 billion for landowners over the next 10 years

Unless you’re referring to a BP operation in the USA, it’s basically a UK firm headquartered in London.

Sorry, as a foreigner, I know better than to get into this but hope the locals pick it up well!!

Love the sport and yes it is exciting that someone will equal someone’s record. At the same time, it is not exciting too. There’s way too much difference between the top car and the last one on the grid.

Was not impressed with the name and then the background explanation made it worse. Sigh.

As one who’s a big fan neither Of China nor of the USA (please don’t confuse USA with American people), I’d like to see China receive a nice diplomatic whack this time around. Their bullying has now reached vulgar levels when they should be apologizing, correcting and preventing !!!! Chinese people, this doesn’t mean you, more the CCP.

Good start. Please understand this is not an airtight control measure. It’s about litigation when such use of phone is involved. People will still do it as it says there’s no penalties just for doing it. But if doing it leads to the next offense, becomes easier to sue. The ban for now is probably for litigation purposes. I’d have been sued several times by now for intentionally bumping into zombies.

Look, I’ll take it. Before the emergency was announced in Tokyo, I had been teleworking for a month already. I had no family that I could send to the drugstore to hoard the masks that were there at the time. So whatever I had from influenza 2 years ago, I’m using now and down to my last 2. So could’ve been good if at least these masks were any good instead of a cloth that’s same as the hankeys that I already have. Feeling like the last gazelle in the herd with the lion closing in.

Is the amount correct? 200k? I’d sue him for humiliation.

Social Distancing: how ironic that it’s always been there mentally, just if the physical aspect could be addressed, would go a long way to help.

prevention is better than cure. Send out instructions not requests for cooperation

Sucks for Japan, the timing of this. Really bad luck. But hope the authorities will do the right thing, for everyone’s safety.

It should be 0.05 g/dL and not mm. And that’s super drunk.

The driver was killed. Did you not read the article?

apologies. Missed that part.

World No. 1 men's badminton player Kento Momota, who was injured in a fatal crash in Malaysia, 

fatal?????

anyway wishing the hero speedy recovery.

Ghosn is a nightmare.

not yet. Wait for it :-)

Could’ve been anything from jealousy out of not having something of their own (or maybe intimidation). But seriously whatever formation you make, you’re just an onlooker and the little English felt exactly that for the duration of the kiwis’ limelight.

I don't think so. Rugby is a physical contact sport, and isn't really suitable with Japanese style of playing sport; just look at how Japanese play soccer. Japanese soccer players use technical skills to pass ball around and avoid physical contact.

Even the current Japanese national rugby team is dominated by foreigners.

After the rugby world cup is over, the rugby fad in Japan will pass.

You’d be a finalist in the “missing the point” World Cup. The idea is that Japan doing well in this sport will generate interest in young sportspersons. By your logic, there’d be no Japanese in the national team. What are judo, wrestling, boxing? Japan is in them all!
