It's all pretty scary since anything you take can be contaminated in some way without you knowing. This can happen to anyone with anything.

The best remedy, aside from keeping all contaminants out, is to quickly make public of any product that is the cause of sickness especially hospitalization.

Removing the product immediately until certainty that it isn't the problem should also be done.

I'd rather have a hanami there than at a place like Ueno or Osaka Castle.

This has been quite a thing in the US for almost ten years now. Lots of simple, minimal or creative van and car conversions. I'd seriously like to do this for a while driving up and down the coasts and surfing without having to pay for hotels. Lots of solitary time to "find yourself" too.

There's heavy responsibility with having firearms in your house with children.

My dad was an ex-Marine and we had lots of guns in the house. BUT the handguns were hidden or locked up. There was one gun that had bullets in it but it was locked in a box that my dad could quickly open just in case of a break in. (I couldn't open it all.)

All the other guns were unloaded, placed in high out of reach places in the back of closets, and with bullets in separate places from the guns. The rifles were on racks in one of the rooms, but once again, all unloaded with the bullets hidden.

More people in the US need to take gun accessibility more seriously.

Tell 'em, Philippines! Tell the bully to piss off.

Better not to hold any Winter Olympic Games there in the future then.

I used to work as a cashier standing for 6-8 hours a day and it was tiring. Whenever I had a chance to leave the checkstand to go stocking, it felt so good.

It's unhealthy to force someone to stand or sit in one position for a long period of time. It causes vericose veins, leg and back problems.

A chance when for a checker to lean back and sit on a beam like pictured above or a chair would be so beneficial for their health. Let them sit in between customers if there's a lull. There's nothing unprofessional about being healthy and comfortable to better serve the customer.

Emanuel telling it like it is!

I get sleepy just looking at her face. (Not to mention listening to her album.)

I'd like to see Hollywood scrap the all-inclusive every race must be represented in every movie they make to one where if it's a Chinese story like this one, keep the whole cast Chinese.

If it's about a group of friends from the San Fernando Valley, keep it more realistically an all-white cast. Same goes for a group of Latino friends - you don't need to throw in a white boy or a black cousin with a sense of humor into the movie.

They really need to stop with this throwing in people of other races or ethnicities to fullfill the multi-race quotas. Movies no longer even qualify for an Academy unless they do this.

Some people dress like bums on planes. Tennis shoes, black socks, green shorts, a t-shirt with a big egg stomach. A little more classy but comfortable clothes would be nice.

You'd think a police officer would know better on how not to get caught and arrested.

I've owned both a Toyota and a Daihatsu. I guess I've been tricked and lied to twice. Good truck and cars. (Maybe.)

That's odd. It was nice and cool yesterday and pleasantly warm today.

Of course most Japanese wouldn't be able to engage or respond in a conversation about Oppenheimer because it wasn't released until two weeks ago unlike the rest of the world.

Straight up ripped off Uber's business model after kicking them out of Japan. Should be ashamed.

Wow. Just a brawl between two acquaintances with minor injuries makes national news here.

This used to happen on rare occasions w/ people I knew but never quite newsworthy.

A suit.

Good, God. This really sucks. Poor girl.

No thanks. I'll just carry a tiny fold away umbrella and put in my satchel. Or if I have a full sized umbrella and it's not raining, I use it like hiking stick.

There are so many places with cherry trees blossoming all over Tokyo. I'd sit under one of those rather than packed to the gills Ueno. You don't have to crowd yourself in crowded Tokyo. You get enough of that every day.

One way to keep yourself walking daily is to have a place to go. If you don't. it's hard to get yourself out there, like walking around in circles on a track or around a neighborhood.

If you have a reason to start walking somewhere, you'll do it. My supermarket and ATM are about 10 minutes away on foot.

If I have some shopping to do, it's always on foot. I only buy one, two or three things that I need. (Never a whole bunch of stuff at once.) Then I buy another thing the next day or later that same day.

Same with the ATM, nearby restaurants, convenience stores and post office - just walk to them.

6,000 steps a day is easily attainable with a trip to the supermarket and back. And it just feels so good to walk both mentally and physically.

Shoulda sent the thousands of carboard beds from the Tokyo Olympics.

This is the REAL Islam.

Probably tailgating the victim like crazy.

three weekdays per......school year

I thought it was going to read per month or so.

California grown rice and Japanese grown rice tastes exactly the same to me.

When I served Calrose Rice to my visiting family or friends from Japan, they often expressed surprise that they tasted so similar.

The big difference, of course, was that California rice was less than half the price.

In all honesty, I respect farmers, people who take care of cows and make things than I do prefectural workers.

 At least 14 candidates have been killed since the start of 2024.

Jesus that's insane. Mexico was a much mellower and laidback country back in the 70s and 80s when I used to go there a lot. Even more so in the 60s and 50s when my older relatives used to go.

Corruption has always existed there but these violent, gory and numerous executions and killings is something more akin to the last twenty years.

I remember a decade ago a man or a woman in a wheelchair was denied membership to Konami or Joyfit health club because the staff claimed they couldn't guarantee they'd be able to help him or her if they needed extra assistance.

I wonder if that case had anything to do with this broader and more inclusive law.
