5 euros really isn't much, half a meal?

I thought marathons were not all that competitive and runners were running against themselves. It was more about the journey than the end result. I guess I was wrong.

Pretty sure other vocalist has done these meet and greets like this before, as well as hologram lives as mentioned and such.

The greets still confuse me, as it's not a meet and greet if you are unwilling to meet people.

People are people, the system is broken

was a finalist at the Long-Thibaud Competition, a prestigious international contest for up-and-coming artists, in 2009.

Calling that a prize winner is a bit of a stretch.

If it's so accepted to be sleeping on the clock, they should just have sleeping rooms. There's a fine difference in sleeping on the job, and being prepared to sleep on the job.

While the results are definitely impressive, I am not sure how I would feel about an avatar of me speaking in a language that I don't know. This would imply that I would want to have some comprehension regardless and the value of English teachers aren't exactly threatened imo.

The results of the survey/ report isn't about showing an issue with foreigners. it's about showing how effective is the foreign labor program is, and if more can be done to have it more effective. No one is benefiting from miscommunication.

When they grow up, it's not going to be a one on one experience, so I do agree the bus makes more sense than schooling locally. But we also have to consider sunk costs and if the local teachers actually would have a job elsewise.

Weak yen shouldn't have as much impact on the average joe than on companies. Companies should be looking to expanding to foreign markets in light of the persistent low yen.

Sure, totally random non thought-out marketing strategy. Names out of a hat for their soy based products.

What people do with their money is their business. Even if it's result of a tax loop hole I'm not sure who is truely benefiting from this sale. In any case just feels like a nothing burger and not news to me. Just like how if I decide to splurge on something I particularly like shouldn't be news to others.

I just hope it's not the current itself that is directly causing the taste difference.

Incoming tourist has upward pressure on the exchange right? So it's a bit counter intuitive.

So you can entrap and then call the police

Entrapment only applies to police? I can entice others to commit crimes? That's news to me. I guess you're right then.

What element is missing for it to be considered entrapment? Looks like bait with GPS tracking was used. But I guess much like plea bargaining, the concept is foreign to the justice system I guess.

And here I thought entrapment isn't allowed.

One year old in a park should have all of the attention of the mother, and I can't really think of a reason the opportunity for this to happen arises.

I still don't get how Otani wouldn't notice $16m 'missing' from his accounts....

160 mil that is, but seeing as the wins went to mizuhara's account and not ohtani's it felt odd that he would be in on it.

Oh, expecting absolute privacy on the internet, oh sweet sweet child.

Number's are bad but the industry is always going to be heavily cyclical, deadline driven and low barriers to entry so not surprised.

If it's used in Ghosn case, than how is it the first time? I don't quite believe that the concept of a plea bargain is completely foreign to the Japanese justice system.

I guess why reduce sentence when you can lock them up til they confess.

Only solution is regulation, the companies running it aren't going to regulate themselves. The companies have all the leverage, "this" is basically what the idols offer.

Isn't deflation the definition of the cost of living not going up? Feels like much of the same, not that it isn't a issue.

Remember, "Smile up!"

I dunno, not knowing where a few million bucks in your account went to, even on a high level basis sounds mighty fishy. I do agree he should be incentivized enough to not gamble, but he's mighty careless then.

I don't think the punishment is unfitting of the crime, similar to shop lifting perhaps with a element of perversion. Was there really emotional damage to the female victims?

Sure, Japan should take some of these perversion driven crimes, but this ain't it.

Isn't it based on right of way? There'd be way more accidents if they literally didn't stop if they didn't have right of way 50% of the time.

Um... I thought the boc operating in quarter of a % was being cautious...
