employment numbers are always inflated. they include the construction people who are gone after completion.

most people should be savvy enough to know this. alway over promise to get permits and under deliver.

the average staffing at a data center is from 50 to 200, which is only google centers. maybe half are technicians, the rest of them are low paying clean up, stacking, loading and unloading trucks.

china has no right to develop islands and shoals in illegally claimed areas of the pacific ocean.

your friend,

cold weather affects range more. 25% less range @ 0°c on highway driving.

up to 50% less in urban traffic. ev’s also use the battery for heat, ice cars do not.

heat doesn’t affect them as much, maybe 2-5% reduced range.

it isn’t even ai. it’s bots, which have been around for decades, and simple programming to copy the content.

ai at this point is a hoax to manipulate stock prices and valuations. all you ever see are samples and examples and tests, all of which are crap.

basing a choice on genitalia is no better than basing a choice on height.

"You need to take a Humanity 101 course bud"

thanks, bud. but i'm already 10x smarter than you.

fines are paid by customers. nothing comes out of the pockets of employees.

you get what you vote for.

it’s written by mari yamaguchi, who forgot to add, “some scientists say that…”

he's immune!

how many women ran for office in last nationwide election?

how many won?

a fair questions. anyone know?

writing without information is like writing fiction.

basing a choice on genitalia is no better than basing a choice on height.

Sorry, the above should read 160,000 yen/month and *310,000 yen/month**.

the conversion is irrelevant since neither is exchanging currency.

direct comparisons between the two is like david and goliath because of the massive scale of the us military, and the us military can’t meet recruiting goals either. the us spends about 3% of gdp and japan is approaching 2%.

the us military budget is 12 times that of japan, but us gdp is 4 times that of japan.

no doubt the perks and benefits for the sdf are pathetic, but japan also pays that sympathy budget to the us instead of to its own forces.

ground forces are not that important for japan, since it isn’t trying to be a world police force.

A great news, though expected one.

She is one of the greatest governors of Tokyo. If she had two bodies, I would like to have her as both the Tokyo Governor and the Japanese Prime Minister.

can you tell us why?

it’s a serious question.

2023 was the hottest global year on record since 1885.

the last 12 months have each been hotter than last year.

not opinion, simply measured data.

what were her accomplishments?

always a good question in all elections.

talking about something is not accomplishing something.

heat stroke and heat exhaustion are different.

heat exhaustion is treated with an iv and the person recovers without a hospital stay. symptoms include headache, nausea and cramps.

heat stroke is a life-threatening condition with the core body temperature above 40°c and serious symptoms, including seizures and hallucinations.

about 75% of patients hospitalized for heat- related symptoms are heat exhaustion. if 119 people had heat stroke, at least 10% would not recover.

let’s do better in reporting.

push, push and push.

if no one pushes back, it’s a green light to keep pushing.

invasions and wars begin when the pushback is delayed too long.

bullying is everywhere.

i blame his wife and those around him. tell him he's done enough in his life. don't run, retire and save him from this embarrassment. it's absolute insanity.

forget newsome. the country does not want to be california. he has no record to run on.

all trump has to say is, "do you want to be like california?'

pete buttigieg is probably the smartest guy in washington right now.

everything he says is a lie, so why even report it?

i’ll bet money is involved.

i like it. white gloves, waving and droning on about nothing is just as laughable.

i hope some get elected, don’t you?

they replaced them all with ads instead of search results.

google has never been worse. it was better 20 years ago.

it’s interesting that when you watch their confirmation hearings of the trump judges, they all said that there is no basis in the constitution for presidential immunity for crimes and no one is above the law. they were emphatic that there is no immunity for presidents.

in addition, they all said under oath that roe v. wade is so embedded with multiple confirming precedents, that there could not be a legitimate legal challenge.

please watch it for yourself.

Shouldn't 10 million yen in dollars not be $6,200 but $62,000?

probably why they went bankrupt. not very good with numbers.

american heart association is a good business.

per capita heart disease:

usa is 142 in world

japan is 181 in world

books were written how reagan was “bored” in his second term and spent most his time in his pajamas in the east wing.

trump was rarely in the oval office, spending his time watching tv in the east wing and calling it “executive time.”

biden can’t get moving before 10 or 11 in the morning, takes an afternoon nap and can’t work past 4 pm.

why is it so difficult for people to accept that neither are up to the job. lbj declined to run for re-election for the good of the country. he knew of his unpopularity.

nixon resigned for the good of the country.

we're living in an age void of statesmen, those who think of the nation more than themselves. you’re witness to it. if you’re young, your children will asking you as they grow up what they heck your generation was thinking.

saw a study on how gen z gets their news. i’m a boomer, so i read a lot of different sources on the same topic, then think about it.

gen z reads only a headline, then goes directly to comments to form their opinion. in many cases, they adhere to the view of their influencers to stay accepted as part part of the group.

tabloid crap, clickbait, paywalls for content no different than other sources and obvious political bias, and fabricated, false information is maddening.

Too bad he didn't wait until AFTER he'd done the "favors" before accepting the bribes. The Supreme Court has recently ruled that such "gifts" are totally legitimate.

yes indeed. the court called it a gratuity - a tip.

the onion couldn’t make this stuff up now.

give him another knife and let him finish the job.
