Wet bulb temperature is the only measurement anyone should concern themselves with. It may only be 30-32 in some parts, but when you add the 70% humidity, and endless concrete, it feels a lot hotter. The adjusted temperature here has been 40plus every day for weeks. Its oppressive, and the kids hate staying in all weekend.

Some of her costumes should count as sexual harrassment of the eyes.

Time to ask Russia for some of that sweet discount gas.

I refuse to even think about climbing until they give the go ahead for a Starbucks at the top

I’ll stay in today, oh yeah. Glad we didn’t get price increases for our electricity like a lot of Japan, thanks to the nuclear power plants.

I hear that. Pretty sure everyone will agree with nuclear power if it means they are only paying a third of their current utility bills.

Higher than I would have expected

I wonder if this will affect housing prices

A rates increase will make mortgages more expensive.

Too little too late Japan with BOJ is doomed.

It isnt, but it definitely doesnt hurt to diversify your assets.

He said they don't want to learn welding, electrical installations, machining etc as it's hard, dirty work in all seasons.

The last part. Even on days like this (scorching at 8-9am i walk past a bunch of mini factories on the way to work and the guys working away look like they are about to drop dead from exhaustion already. When you add the fact that many of them are earning minimum wage, why in the world would you do that?

Waves of closures will mean the loss of specialized craftsmanship, unique services and original restaurant recipes that make up Japan's social and cultural fabric, he said.

Pay a decent wage for starters. Then make sure you train apprentices properly. Hand over the business to your padawan if there are no successors or buyers.

Auschwitz, Unit 731, My Lai, the list goes on. These are all important parts of human history that young people should learn about when they are old enough.

partly attributed to government efforts to help mothers work while raising children.

But mostly attributed to families needing more money

Raise rates and lose the confidence of homeowners. Do nothing and squeeze all comsumers. The very definition of lose lose situation for the average person.

That sounds like a good thing. I've been doing computer programming for about 30 years and have never used PowerPoint. Is PowerPoint not for sales and marketing people?

I think you are intentionally missing the point, which is thatmost college students have little to no knowldege of computers.

Pathetic tit for tat politics. Just slowing down technological innovation that could help us solve real issues.

Our only help is technology

Kids at the colleges i taught at in the past didnt even know how to make a powerpoint presentation. ICT education in this country needs a massive revamp from elementary school upwards. The preference for mobile technology over desktop computers does not help.

A real tragedy. Dont anyone pretend this is a Japan only problem though.

When we were kids we used to do way dumber, more dangerous stuff than this, far removed from our parents.

Maybe we had more common sense, maybe we were just luckier.

Time to get some mates rates deals on energy from Mother Russia to compensate. Abiding by the US overlords gets us nowhere. Do what is best for Japanese interests.

Do you have common sense, or do you want skin cancer?

Cant wait for this to trickle down and make everyone in Japan super wealthy...

Execute this wretch. Literal scum. No benefit of letting her live

They have been getting adventurous too. Saw a couple of wild ones at a local event the other day. Rare in these parts. I guess they are all desperate to be the first to vlog, or tiktok the few remaining, undocumented secrets.

Who does this actually hurt? Russia, or the small domestic companies that make their money exporting used cars?

This is the most idiotic distraction from real issues that are going to completely change the lives of everyone on this planet. Rather than speculate who is going to buddy up with who in some corporation-driven war for profits and resources, maybe we should be thinking about how we can alleviate the imminent dangers of climate change... any takers? No? Who cares who owns some island in the Pacific ocean when half the population will be dying from famine.

The adjusted temperature here today was pretty ridiculous. Just have to crank up the AC and chill at home. Boring.

I saw some kids coming back from track and field practice this evening. I have no idea how they do it. I think i would die running in this current heat.

Since USSR no longer exists, should NATO no longer exist as well?

Yes, they shouldnt exist

Thats it. Keep stirring the pot. Then act all surprised again when the neighbors lash out. Not the same as NATO membership but its the furst step down a worrying path. Japan and China should work together for a more prosperous Asia.

An the endless war machine continues

Sometimes its as if people dont understand how research happens. Its all funded by someone. You have to ask yourself why is this party funding this research and what results do they want to see. Im not saying all research is bs, but a fair share of it is.
