They seem exactly the same to me, however I am 20 kg lighter than I was 20 years ago so that makes a difference in how I feel.

the single most important fact about tritium: due to its exceptionally weak electron, the dose rates associated with tritium exposure are so low, a tiny fraction of background radiation, that the body's repair processes have no problem repairing any tritium damage.

It is hard to imagine a less dangerous radioactive isotope than tritium. Tritium emits an extremely low energy electron, so weak it is stopped by a half-inch of air. Tritium radiation is so weak it cannot be measured by a normal Geiger counter. The electron is too weak to make it through the wall of the thinnest gas tight detector tube. A tritium electron cannot penetrate the dead outer layer of your skin.

The number one staff in all of baseball gets even better with Maeda’s return.

Risk-averse Japan has created a senseless worldwide panic over a harmless chemical isotope by treating it like it’s really really dangerous when it’s not.

Global Cooling since 1500s. Have to look at the big picture.

“on record” is from such a short time ago. no meaningful conclusions can be drawn except that there is a lot of money to be made from selling uber- expensive EVs, unreliable short lived solar panels, unreliable short-lived wind turbines, etc. etc. that will make all of us poorer and poorer

Japan should have been dumping the tritium into the ocean from the start instead of saving it up and causing a worldwide panic to the ignorati.

STAND UP for nuclear everyone. The energy returned on energy invested is 100 to 1. Soon-to-be-piling-up-in-junkyards renewables are at around five to one or maybe 3.5 to one. Going that route will be like going back to the dark ages when 95% of the people were poor and the 5% who were rich stole from the poor.

traditionally when we’ve made energy transitions it has resulted in an increase in efficiency. first wood, then coal, then gas, diesel etc. with each transition increases in lifestyle and living standards rose dramatically. The next logical step is carbon free nuclear power.

Eliminate carbon credits for big companies like Google who just buy their carbon emissions free status

Focus should be on idiotic virtue signaling Germany. Abandoning world class nuclear power reactors and investing in new coal plants and under performing renewables (unreliables).

They have spent over $500 billion and counting on their energy transition and actually increased carbon emissions while jacking up energy prices four hundred percent.

The poster child for what not to do.

Thank you after I have spent thousands of dollars on medicine, masks, and air filters.

cutting down a cedar tree, maybe even 100, is now on my bucket list.

A couple of guys wanted to film me recently after a wedding. I had been the officiant. A choir girl explained the situation to me and I gave them a flat “No.” They seem surprised as if I owed it to them. “It’s for YouTube,” they insisted.

He can get off if he marries her. It seems like the honorable thing to do.

Ironically nuclear power could’ve saved his life. Instead Japan paradoxically increases its construction of coal plants. A country that makes so little sense.

It’s about empathy for others. When taken to ridiculous extremes, it’s woke

When I was in the English conversation industry my female coworker said “they deserve it.” She was the most popular teacher at our school.

rehabilitation is the answer, but the Japanese love bullying somebody

Fossil fuels, while producing greenhouse gases, created our fabulous lifestyle. Renewables (unreliables) destroyed it. Need to go nuclear if we want abundant energy, comfortable lifestyles, and peace for all people all around the world.

Japanese: did you dye your hair?

me: no, I am a man.

This didn’t happen overnight. The UK began their large-scale investment in fragile renewables back in 2002. The thermodynamic defects of wind and solar are responsible for the increase in consumer costs. So many think that renewables are free fuel but exploiting them is not free at all. Dump them and let robust systems like natural gas and nuclear do their jobs.

Present Japan government completely ignored risk such as strong natural disaster and military attack to defend vested interest of major power industries who have nuclear plants.

that’s like saying the airlines ignore the Hindenburg and continue to build zeppelins.

“completely ignore the risk of natural disaster.” do you still stand by that? evidence? Fukushima proves that a nuclear power plant can withstand a powerful earthquake. Do you want your great great grandchildren to live in a world without even a speck of ice even on the highest mountain?

go nuclear or go extinct!

Can’t wait to see how fast they build these generation 3+ reactors. The Japanese are masters of the build and the median time for building their reactors was 3.8 years. We’ll be seeing some small modular reactors as well. Let’s crank them out like sausages.

Kishida has seen the reality of the EU’s intermittent renewables grid and come to the conclusion that it’s a mistaken path for Japan. Bravo Kishida!

All is forgiven.

never pay blackmail, just own it, baby!

upgrade to new ones such as: economic simplified boiling water reactor (ESBWR)

ESBWR is a newer improved design (generation 3+ ) from the Advanced boiling water reactor (ABWR).

It HAS design certification from US NRC.

It is the BASIS for BWRX-300 design.

unless you prefer to dismantle our socioeconomic system with unreliables (wind and solar)

Lived long despite drinking red wine. Probably would’ve lived longer without it

Starbucks’s cappuccino is awesome. Much better than the Dolce that I make at home. Workers at Starbucks are always cute and friendly.

This blatant ripoff cannot be tolerated

Double digit inflation coming by next year unless they raise interest rates.

One of their members came to my eikaiwa, and asked me how I react when people say that my children have dirty blood?

results of my three-second search:

Most scientists agree that the presence of tritium is not a major concern. “The health impact will be almost zero,” said Marks. “We are surrounded by radiation in our daily life, and this release will not affect humans, marine life or the ocean itself.”Apr 13, 2021

Why is Japan going to dump radioactive water from ...

let’s all stop being alarmist. it’s a big ocean so it will be extremely diluted.

Women should be blowing the whistle a lot earlier. They need to be taught how to recognize and deal with the actions of hyper-sexual predators.

Larry Nassar? That guy was hornier than a Japanese salaryman.

As part of your policy for balanced coverage, are you going to be including a piece on Japanese war atrocities? for example, could we debate whether it was humane for Japanese soldiers to grab Filipino children by their ankles and swing them around until their head made contact with a tree? Maybe younger readers would be appreciative of stories about Japanese soldiers bayoneting Chinese babies that they had tossed into the air.

She sounds like a little “Horror” herself. That the man alone is getting criticized seems like a double standard.
