"Hundreds of millions of people around the world are going to lose their places to live,"

This is mostly hyperbole because home values depreciate much faster than oceans will rise to swallow them up. In other words, when homes in coastal flood zones are ready for demolishing, they will not be rebuilt there. Nobody "loses" because the properties will have already depreciated to worthlessness.

The students learned the difference between lab researcher and lab rat.

Where's Waldo?

Somewhere in Shiga Prefecture, there is a small volume containing the vacuum of space.

re question 1, variable refrigerant flow(VRF) type ACs/heat pumps are designed to operate continuously where disrupting operation by manually switching them on/off will increase power consumption as well as wear & tear.

It's possible that it will never be fully cleaned up because over time, rationalization replaces motivation.

eg. The formerly unthinkable dumping of radioactive water into the Pacific is reality.

They should investigate thoroughly including all communications to ensure that he acted alone and not on behalf of others.

There is a possibility of contagion within China if not mitigated by CCP/CB intervention. The effects could spread offshore to the extent finance issues or energy shortages disrupts trade.

As Hattori Hanzo in Kill Bill, he was a cut above.

High speed sports is everything that it is cracked up to be.

With the symbolism in the year of the 10th anniversary of the 3/11 disaster, her recovery and comeback have the potential to become legendary.

The previous president blamed the "Chinese virus" in which racists naturally conflated ethnicity and the CCP. It's no surprise that all ethnic East Asians became targets of indiscriminate haters.

They forgot to hang the Do Not Disturb card on the doorknob.

When the bedsprings are a squeakin

Don't come peekin

Everyone understands that filming would be edited to fit not-necessarily-flattering narratives. The MCs also had roles in empathizing with or attacking the cast. Yamasato-san was the savage critic who spared no fools.

The show may have some degree of culpability in Kimura-san's demise but ultimately the cast members must bear the burden of negativity or fame.

The PAC is for advancing Trump's interests which is only The Unchosen One himself.

Billions in costs, ruined land & lives. This nuclear project is a massive loss exercise and will continue to consume resources of a diminishing economy. Time to reconsider the value of unmitigated growth and competition.

RBC is use to treat H. pylori which is endemic in East Asia. It suggests that certain authoritarian governments can do retrospective studies of their RBC taking populations. ie. RBC efficacy vs. COVID-19 can be extracted from patient data when unconstrained by patient privacy laws.

While Chernobyl, Hanford, and Fukushima are exemplary 1st order nuclear disasters, 2nd order disasters like leaking nuclear waste are a matter of time until exhaustion of resources and abandonment aka failure by default.

Ikee's struggle and determination is an inspiration that is further amplified by the pandemic. She is the physical and spiritual embodiment of "Surviving is Winning".

The most affected are those who have no reserves. Watch what happens when millions who have nothing left to lose are forcibly turned out on the streets. Hint: most of the property destruction in the Floyd riots were by done a relatively small number of extremists.

Participants are acting on-camera in a combination of their genuine selves and that which is guided by the show.

"Reality TV" is anything but; an oxymoron.

Everything is ok because Itomori was evacuated in time.

"90 percent of the debt is held by Japanese investors" in other words, a closed market.

Resource misallocation occurs when major asset classes (pensions etc) are forced to "invest" in government debt resulting in opportunity costs, uncompetitiveness, and economic stagnation.

The show itself would not work if everyone pretended that all the cast were perfect and only handed out praise. The role of Yamasato-san in the panel is to roast anyone with flaws to generate conflicting commentary.

The oversized bags of the targeted foreign travelers tend to consume all hotel bag storage, coin lockers, and checkin counters at NRT.

Mannequins in a post apocalyptic world like in the movie I am Legend.

Sparking of any sort is not advised when you are trapped indoors on a bean diet.

Green tea may aid in zinc transport(ionophore) into cells where it is hypothesized to inhibit viral replication:

If Ikee Rikako manages to compete in the delayed Olympics, it would be the most symbolic and epic comeback imaginable.

There are more catalytic converters to steal for platinum than there are father's teeth for gold fillings.
