Baradzed comments

I am not a big fan of the latest developments in Twitter, bit this time I am supporting their decision. In this scientific area data is the king and Twitter is doing most of the job. It’s only fair to pay more to Twitter than to the scientists.

For example, most universities are slow-moving bureaucracies with a lot of red tape.

That is the key problem, not Twitter.

However, many researchers will be unable to cover the as yet unspecified costs of the paid service because they work on fixed or limited budgets.

which means this type of research is probably less important anyways.

Japan has submarines, right? Isn’t they job to make foreign military vessels intruding Japanese territorial waters to sail down? I hope next article will start like this: “Japan is a peaceful nation, but the ocean in its territorial waters is a bit rough etc…”

While most of Japanese houses older than 20 years old are considered not safe and often demolished, temples, traditional houses and nuclear reactors from 60s are the core of Japanese culture and carefully preserved. I recommend to apply the reactors to become part of UNESCO’s World heritage listing.

A music star speaking in UN about an actual bloody war? What a circus this place has become. If so, I demand Terminator to speak on the next session!

But who knows, companies may just come up with bs work and still force you to stay for the 8 hours.

Absolutely yes. Humanity already doing mostly BS work 8 h/day for many decades. It will never change.

I am glad I didn’t see the original, so I could enjoy it without the burden of comparing. The plot and play were a bit silly (as expected), but the sound and the visuals were fantastic.

Public toilets? Go the hell! People are visiting Soho to immerse themselves into the romantic historical atmosphere of London in 1800th, when the streets were full of horse dung and the air was filled with the mixture of urine and other household waste smells :)

I am sure China has much lower death tolls than America's 1.5 million deaths and other third world country like India. China is much successfully to beat the Covid. The people of Wuhan has a done a very good job !

I hope you are right, but I am afraid it’s not over for China. Also, please take a look at the last paragraph of this article.

But I arrived at the point where I am actively paying considerable amounts of money not to fly with a Chinese airline to never having to deal with their staff, organisation, airports, and co-travelers ever again in my life.

Exact experience from my side on all aspects.

It’s very attractive to apply for a role, where the requirement is to be foolish enough ;)

Gareth, lecturers in UK have okeish paycheck, but all the rest staff (which are the majority) are seriously underpaid.

Thanks for ruining the world cup 2022. Next thing to do is Winter Olympics in august in Saudi Arabia.

No matter who’s missile it was, Russian or Ukrainian anti-air missile, the responsibility lies solely on Russia. Ukrainians don’t fire anti-air missiles just for fun without a necessary reason.

You people are lacking context - Japan is an easy country to get a working visa for. If you have a degree, and a job lined up, the paperwork is straightforward and affordable. It's thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars in other first-world countries, with stipulations such as age and linguistic proficiency, salary etc.

Absolutely agree!

We just have too many people and the numbers are climbing.

You can’t make a new capitalism with old people. Just a hint.

They are trying to disguise the humiliating and revealing blow they just had, when all the hostile threats from China about Pelosi’s visit were ignored and nothing happened in response.

Of course it was a war crime. Even though they were targeting military important areas, the number of casualties among civilians was hugely disproportionate. And it was not something US army didn’t know or didn’t expect.

Not in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and now Donbass.

Without nukes we would have perhaps a two or three more world wars by now. Last time it cost us 50M people killed (with 100K from atomic bombs). The conflicts you mentioned are minor in comparison.

It sounds contradictory, but atomic bombs saved so many people’s lives already.

Would be nice if Japan introduced summer time shift for at least 2 hours. Its unnecessary bright at 4am, while just 7pm is already dark.

That would assume the children that were not vaccinated are evenly distributed around the world, but this is not the case according to the article. If regions already struggling with their vaccination rates and that have other problems that make the vaccination much more important (such as malnutrition) that would mean problems will happen in those locations while vaccination is completely fine in other countries.

Actually, the regions mentioned in the article are home for almost half of the children in the world, which is still a very large number comparing to 25mln. I hope it closes the argument about distributions.

If we take a proper angle, which is 25 million of kids out of 2.2 billion in total, the conclusion will be: COVID19 has negligible effect on vaccination schedule for kids. And that sentence should be the correct caption for the article.

This will be an issue when they open the borders wide open. I am really enjoying Japan without tourists as everything is empty during the working part of the week.

Changing climate only means that the farming locations need to be changed. That might be a critical issue for this particular farmer, but not for an industry as long as there are enough wasabi lovers.

Ha-ha, why don’t they just propose to peacefully give the island to Chinese and then observe how they will preserve the nature etc.

Not going to happen, even saying that the WHO should coordinate what countries decide to do against pandemic ends up with exaggeration and disinformation to oppose it, nobody is going to accept giving to the WHO (or any other institution) real power to force any country to do anything.

Well, more and more people and countries are realizing that WHO, UN and other post WW2 organizations are incapable to do anything. So, at least there is a growing demand to change that. It may take another few billions of casualties, but, eventually, we will come up with more efficient solutions.

I wish we had an international organization capable to force countries to pay damages for causing these types of pandemics (in case if its proven or if they obstructing investigation).

Funny observation here is that those who insist that Ghosn is a crystal clear businessman are 100% sure that he was able to corrupt Lebanese government to protect him from Interpol.

Nobody likes to be profiled, but knowing that comparing to Japan most of the countries have significantly higher crime rates and threshold for what is considered crime or anti-social behavior, I would myself target foreigners in the first place.
