The virologist interview I listened to recently said this is really still an unknown but a vaccinated individual as a potential carrier wouldn't be highly infectious or likely cause the types of clusters we see now. Thanks Matsuki! Sounds likely, as long as you don't cram hundreds of thousands of t...

Is that the list of his 99 virgins?

more then likely any visitors will already be vaccinated while the local vaccinations are just getting started. If I understood this correctly, the vaccine only protects you from getting sick, not others. Even when vaccinated, you could still infect others for a while. Anybody please correct me, if...

What is hilarious to me are all these country-level government officials making statements in 2021 about the "2020 Tokyo Olympics" regarding how to proceed....and the "Ganbare NIpppon will rise again! Orinpikkusu!" talk has gone pretty silent as the officials seem to not understa...

No bueno senor Suga. I wonder how far they will try to clamp down in an effort to save the Olympics.

The downtown DON-DON-DON-Donki's are already a hazard without them. Worst place ever to be caught during a fire/earthquake/nutter with a knife situation

Not sure how much the "drop" is real as we know the pandemic must take the weekends off in Japan. My prediction is with the declared emergency and no actual sense of emergency....we hit 5,000 this week.

...unless legislation hampers it all. Look at Florida. You can have solar on your roof, but if the grid goes down for a hurricane or whatever, you are not allowed to use the electricity you produce, so you'll be out of leccy like everyone else until the powers that be turn you back on. The greedy o...

Just wait til the CCP starts saying the origin of the virus is Brazil and starts a campaign to rebrand it as the Samba-virus.

From what I have heard, electric is less suitable for trailers, because they would need a shitload of batteries, making them too heavy. That may change if battery technology advances. Also, it appears that AC motors are more suitable for pulling heavy loads than brushless DC motors, so once there a...

According to a study from the University of Oxford,
The Tokyo 2020 Olympics are the most expensive Summer Games in history.

I wish you the best of course, but I would seriously consider whether these stock prices are still realistic. The price is starting to project further out into the future as people are forced to deal with the excellent execution of the company. (and the related companies) That increase in confidenc...

That's why I bought a second-hand gasoline. Second-hand of 4 years old. Compared to the 22-year old car I had that feels like it is a new car. I am amazed how much smoother this new thing drives than the old one. I would definitely go for an electric vehicle, if one were available that would satisf...

CVT's, Idle stop, turbos, hybrids, etc. It's all neat and useful tech but I think we're at the point where all these band-aid fixes to combustion engines are adding far more complexity (potential failure points) than is needed and it no longer makes financial sense to pick up something new when it l...

I don't even know where to place the blame....I mean, other countries expedited the approval, with the Olympics looming, why wasn't that done here? A step back from that is the whole "we Japanese" are soo unique humans that medicine affects our longer intestines differently mindset. Then t...

So about those olympics....

Brr, I am happy not to have to travel right now! Is LINE a government app that they can force onto you? I thought, it was a thing like Facebook? If anyone would try to force Whatsapp onto me, I'd outright refuse; not on my personal phone. Sorry, Luddite me knows nothing about LINE :oops: The lack o...

My old man passed away yesterday due to lockdown and postponed/canceled cancer screening. His health crashed two months ago, necessitating emergency care, where they found an aggressive and terminal cancer. Had he been able to get routine care eight months ago, who knows.

Mmmmm Mmmmm good!

Amazing....and yet Japan is "robot cuntry" if you believe the PR

Funny thing. Testing rate up, "cases" up. A steady 3-4% positive the whole "pandemic" long. No matter how few or many tests. Let's scamdemic. I saw some propaganda post on facebook about the J-gov helping out and supporting furriners during the pandemic. The comments were brutal...

So has DT, proved again by his denial that they could possibly be the people who hacked their way into US Govt. computers. It was all China's doing. Russia are the good guys now. ...or don't trust either. Both have been leet haxxoring the US (and many other countries) for years now so I wouldn't co...

No doubt there is a lot of potential scary stuff with AI but I'm not so sure I agree there is motivation for AI to want to do any of it.

Haha, sorry, couldn't make it through the first five minutes of this video. But surely some people seem to like this type of acting or else the channel wouldn't have a million subscribers. Not your fault. I'm with Grumpy, that smug asshole is unbearable. I only made it through to the part about the...
