Posted in: Japan eyes next-generation solar power equivalent to 20 nuclear reactors See in context

As long as they have a smaller footprint and greater longevity than 20 nuclear power plants I’m all for it.

more than likely it’s just another pie-in-the-sky tax dodge

The only reason so many people died before in Fukushima is because of the evacuation. Evacuate and shelter in place! Understand that the dose isn’t strong enough to give you cancer

I recommend using a weighted vest. Rucking will multiply your benefits in a shorter time.

Bad news: we’re gonna start cranking them out like sausages.

we’re not able to curb our desire for electricity.

unless you’re willing to start washing your clothes by hand and sending your messages by carrier pigeon

Posted in: Slurp noodles and savor the sights of Japan’s ‘top 3 ramen’ regions See in context

Perhaps Ms Payne should do more research before writing info that is not 100% accurate.

maybe you can work as a volunteer fact checker. Personally, I don’t think most Ramen shops per capita qualifies them as top three. I inferred that the rankings were based on savoriness.

Posted in: Japan can raise renewable energy share to 80% by 2035: study See in context

Nuclear energy is in itself the reflection of humanity's stupidity, thinking that such energy is the cleanest of all

it’s not an opinion; it’s a fact. You didn’t know that nuclear power was cleaner than Solar? Cleaner than wind? To make renewables requires fossil fuels. You can’t make a solar panel with a solar panel right? Do you know how much underground concrete a single windmill requires? Do you think that electric cars make the amount of CO2 go down? they don’t.

by the way did you hear the good news that a 3 mile island unit is reopening in 2028? Seems they need to meet the demands for AI and data processing etc. and renewables are not up to the task.

anyway renewables produce far too much waste to be taken seriously. windmills in the ocean are gonna make sea animals go extinct. Recycling them costs more than it does to make them in the first place. And if they’re so cheap why do they need subsidies?

Posted in: Ohtani's ex-interpreter to plead guilty over $17 mil fraud See in context

My coworker decided to bet ¥10,000 on an NBA basketball game. He lost it. He said, “Ah, it’s just ¥10,000.”

The time between his decision to bet and actually placing that bet was only about 15 seconds “thanks” to his smart phone app. I had no idea this was even possible. I just can’t believe how easy it’s become to gamble.

Posted in: Brazil's Lula invites Kishida to eat his country's beef See in context

Brazilian beef ought to be treated by the international community like it is toxic until it can be shown to not impact the rainforest.

and hold western countries to the same standard

Posted in: Brazil's Lula invites Kishida to eat his country's beef See in context

Brazil has the same right to deforestation as western countries.

Brazil beef cattle production systems can be considered as “grass-fed based”, since all breeding and rearing are made on pastures, and only 7.5% (Brazilian Association of Feedlot Producers), or even less, of the slaughtered cattle are finished on feedlots, and for a short period of time.

so much for the antibiotics misinformation.

obviously beef doesn’t cause cancer.

it will quadruple the strength of your mitochondria. If your mitochondria is strong you can’t get cancer

Posted in: Kashiwazaki nuclear plant better coped to deal with terrorism: IAEA See in context

There’s no terrorist threat for nuclear power plants. More fear mongering from this anti-nuclear site. Everyone knows that the uranium is not weapons grade. There are armed guards.

He wasn’t walking back to talk to him. He was walking back to berate him. People need to control their emotions when they’re driving. Also leave on time so you don’t have to be impatient.

Cholesterol: A superhero not a villain

Transporting building blocks and nutrients in addition to fending off bacteria (infections) as part of our immune response

Higher levels of LDL cholesterol are protective and increase longevity.

average total cholesterol in Japan is about 184. In the US? About 143. Which country has a greater longevity?

You DO NOT need to LOWER CHOLESTEROL, you need to LOWER INSULIN/INFLAMMATION.  The true drivers of CVD.

Posted in: Here are the big hurdles to the global push to build up renewable energy See in context

We want reliable electricity 24/7/365. Therefore, we want nuclear power not renewable energy.

we want cheap electricity for a long time. We don’t want some thing that we have to rebuild every 15 to 20 years.

windmills in the ocean are the dumbest thing ever.

renewable advocates completely ignore delivery costs and claim that the fuel is free.

Mizuhara seems to be the fall guy.

why did Ohtani pay the bookie directly?

why did Ohtani announce his marriage at this time?

why does Ohtani never speak?

what else is he hiding?

Posted in: Nissan plans self-driving mobility service in Japan from FY2027 See in context

Waymo said its vehicle was at a complete stop at a four-way intersection when a large truck crossed the intersection in its direction. At its turn to proceed, the Waymo car moved forward.

However, the cyclist, who was obscured by the truck which the cyclist was following, took a left turn into the Waymo vehicle's path. When the cyclist was fully visible, the Waymo's vehicle braked heavily, but wasn't able to avoid the collision, the company said.

Conclusion: Still easier and safer to use Waymo

Posted in: 3-meter tsunami reached nuclear plant after powerful Japan quake See in context

How we know that Tsunami won't go above 15 m or 3 m in Ishikawa, we just got lucky this time.

i’m pro nuclear because I care about future generations and I think we have to expect tsunamis of 15 m every 300 years or so. What does that have to do with nuclear? The Fukushima meltdown was caused by human error; venting hydrogen inside the reactor. How many people died? Zero. Modern reactors have automatic shut down systems. There’s no place I’d rather be in an earthquake than in a nuclear reactor

The cyclist was deservedly angry. Young guys are terrible hothead drivers in general. I’ve had numerous encounters with drivers who have tried to intimidate me with their vehicles. This boy needs severe punishment
