Hmm, why don't you check out Japan Times and Japan Today?

It is not that you are hardly online...

I knew about the volcanic activity on Sakurajima from foreign press (and tangentially, Reuters raw footage is incredibly boring: I have new-found respect for video news editors) and this was the first I was aware of the fire from the fuel spillage at an electric generator at the festival in Kyoto,

but

the other way of looking at it is, did either of these events impact on you in any way? Did the fact that you were unaware of them make your life any less fruitful? Would you say that you were more cavalier in your use of fuel today because you had not heard the news? I think the answer in each case would be no. It doesn't really matter that you had a slight delay in receiving the news. In fact, it wouldn't matter if you did not hear the news for a week even.

If you free yourself from the "current" in current affairs, you can concentrate on the important information.

Woa... Calm down th internet is for porn.... And russian trucks...

For Japan Today... I refuse to visit that website anymore, stopped in 2006. Between the tone of the articles, the patronizing mods and the stupidity of the comments it was making me physically sick.

jtimes... It would be like getting the newspaper everyday to know for sure the current date instead of -going to fg-/ reading the calendar...

But at least the volcano thing just made it to fark...

Maybe you should start your day with Mino-san. Both were on the all of 5 minutes of TV I saw before going to work this morning.

Important information in the life of Coligny. What would that be?

Ehmmm... I buy most of my little stuff and electronic components from hong kong/shenzen, receiving parcel 3-4 times a week. Volcanic activity means volcanic ashes. Volcanic ashes can shut down air traffic... For weeks (remember Elyjorkordarfuljiksumthing the volcano that shutdown europe few years ago ?) mean huge potential delays in receiving those parcels instead of the usual 6 days max.
Potential Impact on me: FUCK YES

Generator accident: I have several power gen at home including one gasoline and on cooking gas canister one. I still don't know the in and out of the accident in kyoto. But I would never think shutting down a generator for refuel. On the long list of un animated things trying to kill me it was way below spray paint (that i use daily) and arc welder (that i gave up trying to perform anything usefull, i just suck at arc-welding plain and simple).
Potential Impact on me: FUCK YES

I don't know where you bought that cocoon that shield you from any external event interference. But if you have a rakuten link so I can get me one that would be awesome...

Yea... Ignorance is knowledge... Where did i heard this one already...
