Dumping of nuclear waste and heavy metals into the oceans has been going on for many years. Dumping this water is probably much less harmful to the planets ecology than all the waste plastic being used and dumped.
Yeah I've always dumped my trash in front of my cityhall, why should I stop ?!
Oh and I also don't recycle my plastic why should I not dump my trash everywhere ?
That just makes no sense ...

Posted in: Ethereum blockchain set for 'monumental' overhaul See in context
It is interesting to see the pro crypto go crazy putting out article after article with "in to future" " with advancements" etc...to try and say this form of currency inst far more costly in power than what they like to call "Fiat" but the reality is that today cryptocurrency uses fat more and if the supporters get their way then it will need 90% more as the entire population would be using it.
I am assuming we are talking about bitcoin here as ethereum is moving to POS. The number of users using BTC is not correlated to the need of electricity, BTC can work technically with a few home computers, greed and people with resources investing in expensive hardware wanting a share of the pie bring the electricity consumption high.

Crypto currencies can be extremely useful when used as intended.
I am working with a guy in Belarus, crypto currencies allow me to continue our work relationship despite the political climate.
With all respect, this reads like you are circumventing sanctions which...is illegal. As such, I would not be too talkative about it in public...
What sanctions do I circumvent ? I am not a citizen from any countries applying those ... The fact is we previously used services from the USA and USD to do our transfers, which we cannot anymore, that's all, we're using another service.

I agree up to a point. I think there is a use for them, but as cash.I'm not so sure.
It may allow you to continue a work relationship despite the political climate, but then again, can't this person also just do a normal transfer of cash. The system is in place, it can be transferred in minutes. Eg WISE.
No, everything has been blocked, no international transfer, no wise, no PayPal, etc. They are all companies from the USA.

There is a good way to maintain joint custody.
Try not to make the spouse run away
I am confused, have you even spent more than 2 weeks in Japan ?! This is common practice here, after the divorce the father doesn't see his kids anymore. It doesn't only happen to foreigners, lots of Japanese fathers face the same fate, most of them accept it but a few try to fight it.

MeiyouwentiToday 07:41 am JST
Let’s look at the case objectively. The woman and her children ran away from the wife-beating husband and would like to continue to live together in peace. At least the court granted the Frenchman the right to see his children. He needs to learn to be a good loser.
It seems that you have no clue of the case, for fact : "The woman claimed she suffered domestic violence while they lived together, but the court did not recognize that abuse occurred." Garanteed if the court in Japan didn't recognize abuse, there was no abuse.

TokyoLiving, the only people the sanctions are trying to influence are the oligarchs. They've had their yachts and overseas properties seized, they can no longer travel abroad, and now luxuries are becoming unavailable even within Russia. Sooner or later, they'll turn against Putin, and then he's toast.
I don't know, I am not convinced. When have economic sanctions already been effective in history? North Korea, Iran, ...?
