I'll echo that there are safety issues. Motorcyclists (I ride my much more fuel-efficient bike when I don't have something too big where I need my car), bicycles (which I also ride for leisure and errands close by), and pedestrians (same here) aren't going to work very well in that. You're not going to mandate that every person carry some kind of transponder and that it must always work. Where I live, many students are walking and cycling. I also think tractors, dump trunks, and other special equipment will still have human drivers for at least part of the journey for the foreseeable future.
Also, smacking into an animal at 160kph is terribly dangerous and potentially damaging. A blowout at that speed also has much scarier implications for control. A lot of hazards would need to have issues solved here as well.
Yeah, I fully agree. The yen being super weak right now has put some people off of such (it was about 110-115 yen: 1 dollar when I came, now it's 160 T_T)
*Private corporation. The government was separated from religion in many ways in the post war and Yasukuni is actually owned by a private organization.
The whole thing is further complicated by it basically being kinda like Arlington Cemetery except that it also contains some really reprehensible people (though I'm sure Arlington isn't free of that, either). I've never been personally.
Not the same person, but all of the top results in a search for a sandwich not eaten with hands were posts relating to etiquette. Scrolling down, it did mention one sandwich (not the one you link anywhere on the page) but even that didn't say in the summary that utensils were required.
Shouldn't "to destroy a tenth part of something" be in quotes there? Unless you mean the article has the intention of destroying ten per cent of things.
Basically every tunnel and such here has an AM station to tune into for traffic/weather conditions (weather can be wildly different at the end of some longer tunnels, especially the ones that gain elevation or open to a bridge over a valley).
I remember liking the smell of diesel exhaust as a kid but now, at least here in Japan which may have different emissions, it makes me feel like I can't breathe.
Petrichor is fantastic as is the smell of the ocean. Cow manure is super nostalgic to me. I was driving my motorcycle to do some paperwork in the city and smelled them putting it on the fields. An ocean away, but still felt like my childhood home.
Cilantro/coriander leaf (and whatever thing in my property smells oddly like it when I cut grass/weeds) is like bug spray to me. Can't stand the smell. A tiny bit in something doesn't put me off, but it quickly gets unbearable and chemically to me.
Is there a source for this? I'm generally very positive on therapy and helping people get access to it, but fuck them if that's the case (and fuck the US healthcare system in general. Although I will say that where I'm at now, Japan, is even worse with mental healthcare not being covered by insurance (only psychiatry is covered; some psychologists having sliding fee scales but sometimes it's students and, if you don't speak Japanese well enough to articulate your issues in the language, then the premium for foreign language support is real)).
I wonder how that works on a Japanese captcha. I know people have had issues shortly after moving but not knowing the language at all yet trying to set some things up.
"energy-drink-can-sized hail..." is how I would have written it. Or, y'know, used numbers like a sane person.
