Posted in: New bike laws in Japan take effect in 2026. What cyclists and drivers need to know See in context

But if they truly want cyclists off the sidewalk, then they need to put in bike lanes. In many areas riding in the road is taking your life in your hands, since you have to share the road with large trucks (who can't see you) buses (who can't see you and pull over suddenly) and taxis (who drive like maniacs and pull over suddenly).

So in such unsafe situations are you breaking the law by behaving in such an unsafe pedal manner instead or adapting a 'push' bike manner for safety???

The use of an IDP is determined by the same agreements. An IDP is a very cheap very limited International license.

I sincerely hope that they acted whilst totally ignoring any supposed US input. Both nations have nuclear capability and have been sensible previously.. without MAGA influence!! So happy that somebody believes..

Posted in: Measles could again become widespread as cases surge worldwide See in context

Surely the shortage of funding for public health services (ubiquitous in the western world) also must have a huge impact. Most of the parents must have been vaxed when young... so all the parlance about anit-vaxers blah blah is just excuses. Or are westerners now too reliant on the nanny state and unwilling their sleeves up and take the public subsidised bus to a private clinic?

linking the mapill (aka no- ma-pill, in my place) and abortion seems extreme. use of the no-ma-pill does not necessarily halt a birth. Or is every male going to claim inception every time he missed out on a condom thru-out his life. and before I get the dimwit classification. I am aware that they condoms some nasty diseases.

mmh, on sales tax on food, water, gas electric, sounds just like a place I know well. (that is not a sewer!). larger land rent 'taxes' and rates. let those who can afford property pay their way, much higher gasoline taxes and hit the car purchase taxes hard, if you think a car is essential check out HK FRT and Sgp car first license fees. Cars are the ultimate luxury!

And pushing back with unity means kissing the orange butt and increasing taxes in Japan to satisfy orange man's demands. I suggest a Glass of lemon+lime juice for the Ambassador, whose wife deliberately obscures the US? flag??

Trump's emphasis on japan buying US cars? I have seen this a few times. Is he aware that japan drive RHD (well apart from a few imperial governed islands. (no offense meant to you locals!) Maybe he should concentrate on selling GM's to the DRC, they drive LHD.

Posted in: UK to build Europe's first Universal theme park See in context

The current British government inherited a bad economy from 14 years of the previous conservative one. It will take more than 9 months to fix it.

And the previous gov. inherited a non-existent manufacturing industry. and the prev. gov. !!!! it went wrong decades before bodge made a real good bodge job. But of course Little Britain was once the planet's major continent.

However Universal will need to import universal resources that can pull a 40hr week, w/o the labour decreed WFH.

My two main desktops are from 2010 (15 years) and 2012 (13 years). I might buy a new one later this year. My keyboard, mouse, and trackpad are all from 2007. (18 years).

IPad 2018. iPhone 12 2021.

the only time I use an Apple iPhone is when i visit to see my better half and our son. they keep one all loaded ready for me. Wallace how many iphones have you chewed into pieces since 2010 (or whenever they released the first piece of trash) ?

dodgy one. family members could be 'influenced'? as I live in one place and my trusted family in another place I encrypt the log-in stuff onto my laptop and 'register' the lap-top info with my solicitor (who not surprisingly is my executor), trust I got the spelling correct!

Posted in: China eyes teaming up with Japan, S Korea to denuclearize N Korea See in context

same contra-doctrines spilling onto the floor yet again. My eyes, c/w reading glasses, on different direct media channels, clearly read about an intention for greater trade cooperation at a regional economic summit. Nought about war and nukes. And a deliberate denial of a joint anti- tarriff agreement. Who wrote the article for JT?? Being totally honest china declared a military drill to surround Taiwan this am to improve the future blockade planning?

Meanwhile Trump is creating economic chaos, whilst also threatening war with Iran, poking his finger up at russia, and threatening to annihilate the houthis 'cos' they shoot back.

Any thoughts about local aisian nations economic cooperation???

I am wary about commenting. BUT, a typical definition of a family with filial duties, does not apply anymore.

Mothers and fathers can decide to have a child and do it their way, no marriage just an ever lasting love and affection. ok finances need to be ok, triple happiness time. mmh time-out- W update in ,,,,millisecs

Get real, Disney was the original Xmas netflix b4 mobile phones were available.
