Again, no requirement for a sprinkler system brings disaster. The Myojo 56 building fire

in Kabukicho, the Kyoto Animation's Studio 1 building fire, etc.

What is any living organisms "objective" (Am not saying viruses have sentience) BUT it is to survive, spreads quicker and is milder? That's evolution for survival. Too virulent, and its hosts will be all dead before it can move on and spread, thus it would die out. Yet, seems a bit early to conclude that is moving towards being a manageable disease like the common cold (Same family of virus), for example.

Good, call out, expose and show those regimes that subject any parts of their populace to suppression, genocide, that it simply will NOT stand. Athlete boycott next.

Against a modern, hi-tech equipped force, tanks, as UK wrote, are redundant. Russia is really reluctant to commit tanks to the Ukraine front, and are even adding "canopy" armament to their tanks to try and add protection from Turkish bought drones and other new weapons that make tanks obsolete.

Well perhaps so, but in Japan, it is going to cost us, the TAX PAYER money.

Okinawans are SICK of being used. From WWII onwards, Japanese have only had one interest in Okinawa, their own.

Japan is my home, my family are Japanese, my children have both nationalities "under" the hood. It's a great place if you embrace it for all that is, good and bad. Where is perfect? Exactly.

Good. Less danger on the road.

@SimonB: Yeah man, they'll invest all this R&D time and money and NOT have that angle covered, for sure. DOH!

Posted in: Will the coming big chill lead to winter power shortages? See in context

As often observed: Japan, hi-tech slum. Some of the world's most advanced tech, but, for example, still got millions of homes with click and turn gas water heaters.

Seditious abuse of the judicial process. Shame too on any one who stayed silent. SCOTUS has delivered. There is NO standing. So, sit down and shut up because this is a govt of laws, not men.

Posted in: I feel so sorry for senior high school students all over the country that I cannot find the words. Now that it has come to this, I want them to shift emotional gears and think, ‘Hey, life is long and unexpected things can happen.' See in context

Am sure the children will be pleased they don’t have to throw 180, 200, or more pitches a day! Young arms need rest, young minds need relaxation! Far too militarised in its approach and execution. The marching and rigid disciplinary nonsense. Here’s to more change in the system!

Posted in: Bill Gates, bogeyman of virus conspiracy theorists See in context

@WillyB That simply isn't true. The Gates Foundation was not kicked out of India in 2017 when the Steemit article was published, and as of NOW the Gates Foundation continues to work in India.

The foundation is one of the largest private foundations, with offices all over the world. In India, the organization is primarily focused on the Uttar Pradesh and Bihar regions, where they are working to reduce poverty and improve access to health.

@Zichi, leaflet, booklet? It’s the 21st Century. Keep it green, use the screen. Agreed that there is a distinct lack of info, total nearly. But we need paper for essentials, not leaflets.

Posted in: Syria's brutal war enters 10th year See in context

To think, that could be me, carrying my lifeless child through a rubble strewn city, that could be any one of us who has a child, a niece or nephew, a neighbor... left to run to try and save a life. The mind-boggles at how we collapse into barbarity, into this destruction. Syria truly is a failing for all of humanity. An indelible stain.
