Food waste is a global problem not an olympic one. This particular incident just happened to make the J news...

Think people are missing the point here. These are 2 instances of mass centers. This isn’t the entirety of the countries’ inoculation capacity. Just a bit of good news and a sign of progress.

is there an official reason why it's so difficult to get a test done here?

it's actually not that difficult anymore, just not particularly affordable. Done several purchasing kits online etc, cheapest way to go.

ONLY because it's Sunday! Wait til today or tomorrow to get the "real" numbers! They test less on Sunday so the numbers will always be down!

This is actually incorrect. They can't collate all the data fast enough to report realtime so the dialy numbers you see published are actually from 2-3 days ago. So technically Tuesday and Wednesday numbers should be artificially low. Thus why the actual reporting times varry day to day.

Tully's, Dean & Deluca, Blenz, Ueshima (haters gonna hate), Hawaiian Breeze, Blue Mountain... I can go on. Convenience store black ones in a can that are decent (cold) - try a silky black.

Awesome product. I have been waiting a long time for something like this. I ride my fixie a lot around Tokyo and when I plan long rides or am going to an unfamiliar place I use my iphone GPS. If it's mounted, you have both hands available for control/braking and is better than the alternative. Surprised at all the negative nancies on here... but then again this is JT.

Hooters will be a successful franchise here. There are way too many sukebe in this country for it to fail. That and the # of gaijin frequenting this place will make it more than worth while.

Every machine has performance thresholds when it comes to heat. I bought a high end laptop and when it gets to hot the graphics performance decreases. These keep everything working nice and smooth.

Wolfpack at 11:50 AM JST - 18th November : As for the post above stating that J-models are submissive and giggly - that's seems to be overly harsh. Japanese women are not all that submissive in relationships. Sure, most probably are not the in your face feminista Gloria Steinem types. However, J-girls are assertive in different and less confrontational ways than Western woman can be - generally speaking. You don't have to be Atilla the Hun to be assertive.

Agreed

Well obviously its all opinion based but you don't need a butt that sticks out like a bowling ball to look good. In fact I think westerners have become accustomed to seeing overweight/fake proportions. Nothing wrong with being skinny people, Japanese women have proved it through holding the longest life expectancy amongst developed nations. Will give you that about the submissiveness though :)

Reasons why J-models are better. 1) Real boobs 2) cute demeanor 3) and a rear that can fit in normal jeans

women already consume the minimum hahaha now i have heard it all. please introduce me to these minimalist overweight women. Unless they have some medical condition preventing weight loss (thyroid/insulin deficiencies/cushings disease etc) they are snacking behind closed doors.

yes, bodybuilders and athletes - these are people who exercize every day.

doesn't matter. losing weight at any body fat %age will always be more successful if its monitored properly. just cause you work out everyday doesn't mean you can eat whatever you want and expect to loose weight.

classic J-cop fail

It is impossible to slim down by recording what you eat only.

Actually one of the only ways to effectively lose weight is by writing down what you eat all the time and the calories you consume. Ask any bodybuilder or athlete that is required to drop weight for competition and see if they don't have some form of record keeping for their diet. This is only the first step, obv still have to change what you eat but it is a great first step.
