how does any of this work if people are burdened working more than 160 hours a month, and at pittance wages?

that's not what the word scholarship means, that's a loan. Nickel and diming (yen and yenning?) will mean few would bother

Posted in: No ex-Johnny's singers in NHK year-end show 'Kohaku Uta Gassen' after sex scandal See in context

So they are cancelling the performers who were abused? That doesn't make sense. Make it make sense. Why blame the performers. Also Smile-Up is total cringe and also doesn't make any sense. I've seem to have hit the doesn't-make-any-sense section

Desert Tortoise, landlines have their own power line separate from the house to a switching station generator. Often the problem is resolved long before the generator goes out, days, weeks, etc

Posted in: Blinken seeks G7 unity on Israel-Hamas war among items on crisis-heavy global agenda See in context

It's a no win scenario. Why attack Israel fully knowing they'd retaliate with extreme prejudice? Sure, Apartheid Israel has to end so killing babies and people does what? So first response is correct against Hamas. But it is going too far now Israel too much now too. A cease fire and a two state solution looking further away by the day

Posted in: China owed more than $1 trillion in Belt and Road debt: report See in context

BRI was always a scam to take over other counties. Poor countries in debt and all assets ports roads whatever to Communist China basically forever now.

Or, all those countries will have to go to war against Communist China in order to absolve all the loans

Posted in: Hearings in $1 billion lawsuit filed by Carlos Ghosn against Nissan start in Beirut See in context

I guess we're going to skip the whole trying to starve him to death in jail for a year, without trial huh. His Victory against Japan Inc is something to be celebrated. The longer Japan protests the greater the victory

And Saikawa simply bowed against the same crimes, and is still free, thus proving Ghosn's point about conspiracy against foreigners. Hope he wins

Posted in: Why doesn’t the U.S. adopt the metric system? See in context

Had the USA been using Imperial money they might have converted to metric, but because they used metric money 100 cents : 1 dollar anyway, I guess they didn't care about the rest. Various industries and businesses though would need to use metric, just not domestic ones

Posted in: Why doesn’t the U.S. adopt the metric system? See in context

Canada and the USA were to convert over to the metric system around the same time, there was this whole big deal about the change . But while Canada did, USA bailed at the last moment. We ended up converting. For Canadians we end up mixing the two, although older generations may still use F for temperatures I don't at all. Weird mix, height and shoes Imperial, but distances temperature volumes(mixed), any kind of science or engineering, in metric. So we end up being familiar with both to a certain extent. Funny in Japan while we both use metric sometimes the units differ. Using hectopascal (hPa) for barometric pressure but we use kilopascals (kPa), so imagine my surprise of reading 1000 hPa instead of 100 kPa !

USA doesn't have gun control either. If it wasn't for California they probably wouldn't even have seatbelts. They speak English but is still a mysterious place

Also staff and director for Hyouka, Yasuhiro Takemoto and many more. Apparently many names were not released unlike outside Japan where it would have been in the public interest to release the names and thus the public cannot honor or celebrate their works which is really too bad

Posted in: Japanese high school kids average 12% correct answers in English oral test See in context

If they would stop teaching English to every kid, then only kids that are interested in English --as a subject-- will learn it later, and excel at it. The terrible testing, teaching materials, and lousy teachers are working, the 12% is obviously their reward

Posted in: Japanese high school kids average 12% correct answers in English oral test See in context

I'm at work and reading an "English" email from a Japanese company right now. I have no idea what they're saying or mean. Coworkers have no idea either. It's such a waste of time, then they get all upset when asked again, This is supposedly a professional company, it's sad

Posted in: Japanese high school kids average 12% correct answers in English oral test See in context

Japan should stop teaching English. They are clearly terrible at it and it just ruins Japanese by replacing their own language with an Engrish creole no one understands. To save Japanese they must stop teaching English
