About $400 for the cheapest ticket on the floor in December...having big think about just skipping out to Vegas

It Looks fantastic. Bram did a great job on the drums, but you can really here it's not Larry there. I think the second run of shows will the ones to be at, once the band and visual artists have tweaked what they're doing.

Another superb drive from Max. Great to see Mclaren having a bit of a revival.

The Perez lap to server his penalty was a good move by the team; at least he gets to start fresh at the next race without a penalty hanging over him....he really needs any kind of 'lift' he can get.

It is a real trudge on that train isn't it! Hahaha!

buuutt...the track is superb and we've always had a great time once we're there. The trick is to get drunk enough so the train back into the city is just a blur.

Great to Vettel moving ahead with his positive environmentalism!

Obviously changing the name is not sufficient.

Any and all management who knew or covered up the abuse must be removed.

It's no easy task, there must be a way the contracts can be unbound so the victims (the talent) can contract with clean agencies (if any exist).

Or...new ownership is another viable option?

''The ward has set aside 512 million yen for the project in its supplementary budget for this fiscal year.''

Is this 'City Tax' funds they've been hoarding? I think residents wouldn't be too thrilled about it.

‘MPass, which costs $11 a month -- substantially less than the $70 price to buy the base version outright’’

-for the first 7 months. Hahaha!!

Oh everyone needs to just calm down. We'll know if they (Tepco and J-Gov) were pranking us all in...what...5 to 10 years. Kishida ate the fish (before contamination) So I don't what everyone is worried about, it's a giant leap from that poor dude with shaking hands who drank a cup of Chernobyl reactor water long ago.

I like the idea, good and common sense.

I don’t like the ‘hefty extra charge’ bit.

Doritos and Pizza Hut Super Supreme Pan Pizza.

Oh TEPCO says that, well then...Ok no need to check further.

It's not like they said there were no Meltdowns at all.

Or negleted advice from experts on the position of generators.

I'm so relieved!

I didn't know hackers still operated with Windows XP and x-cell!

LOL, Trump's team just asked if they can have the trial in...2026!! Hahahaa!

'would it be terribly inconvinient if you convict me posthumously' is coming next.

We're not going to see barbie until after we've seen Oppenheimer. Which Japan seems to suggest we won't be watching Barbie.

You reap what you sow.

There are many ALT's who have certificates and skills in teaching languages, but they can't utilize those skills since MEXT decrees that Japanese Teachers should be the Lead teacher, which in turn means the focus of classes is on 'getting through the textbook/curriculum' with constant interruptions for sports and music festivals. Meanwhile BOE's continue the downward spiral of awarding contracts to the lowest bidder...being dissatisfied and switching companies again at the next contract season...which in turn has bred instability as dispatch companies pay the lowest salary possible and request 'extra' from ALT's who must seek 2nd jobs to make ends meet.

@Marc Lowe....Hahaha! How/why would a lifelong musician retire? Should painters stop at age 65?? Crazy.

I know it's only Rock'nRoll...but guess what?

Hahaha, It's an odd question, because it is a fact: Summers are hotter now than when we were all children.

''.... Budkan,just lie Cheap Trick did back in the days of records.''

almost 50 years ago! Really!? WOW and LOL!! Time flies.

As for Taylor, well done. She paid her dues when she was young and had to play her guitar imo.

I am talking about foreign tourists, local tourist behave.

LOL...are you talking about the same local people who leave my street covered in cigarette buts and conbini trash daily??

Trash is a real problem...but tourists (and locals) will act responsibly if they have a place to dispose of it, rather than steak dinners tax money should be spent on bins and regular collection.

It's unacceptable to pay such high city taxes and be told 'erm...we don't have enough power for you.'

Get modern, find a solution. There are dozens of 'new' energy providers waiting.

I don't think we need to count 'waves'. Covid is endemic now. In my opinion it would be more accurate for them to describe 'Covid season' is here again. Coverage and full reporting is important though. I just don't think 'wave' is quite the right expression anymore.

I'm fine with people smoking outside. What annoys me is when the addicts decide your corner parking space will be their little smoking place (tellingly just out of sight of their office), and proceed to leave butts all over the place. It got so bad our building had to set up no smoking signs to drive them away.

Hmmm...

It just feels like we are all madly trying to stuff a Genie back into a lamp.

Hmmm...I agree it's impossible to compare drivers across eras; they can only race the cars they have. But...Senna had 6 wins in the fast Lotus, and the rest with the powerful Mclaren team, So he hardly took cars that had no right to be there to the front. He eas an incredible driver nonetheless. As is Verstappen.

;)

Hahah!

Boxing is the obvious choice. Easy and quick to learn and effective. In time you'll build good cardio for going 'bop!' on someone's nose and then running away.

All the other arts take at least months of practice just to learn the basics.

Tattoos have absolutely nothing to do with how well you do your job, or the potential you have to do a job well. Employers discriminating based on body art alone, due to outdated stereotypes are fools.

@banger.....I'm guessing you don't watch a lot of stand up comedy?

People are going to tell jokes. Some are funny to some people: some aren't. That's as deep as this story is.

What we can't allow is Governments trying to limit what we can and can't say.

A tourism based city. Why wouldn’t you just set up a ‘trolley’ netwoek, specifically for tourists, like the ones in Honolulu?

Surely that’s better for everyone as opposed to racial profiling and endless arguements?

''But the city also noted that about half of its staff surveyed said they were dissatisfied with the accuracy of responses given by ChatGPT.''

But, so what right? it's something still in testing, we barely understand: it's only going to cause trouble for unimportant people anyway, Right? Right??
