I’m not sure that Japan having nukes would be the most concerning thing.

IMO, the bigger concern is this:

[Japan] turned away from nuclear energy after the 2011 Fukushima disaster, and only nine of its 35 reactors are operational.

What is Japan using to supply its energy needs now that they’ve nixed their “home-grown” nuclear power? The last time Japan found itself a voracious energy importer, it precipitated a chain of events that culminated with Japan getting nuked.

Why not just have the motorcycle play a fake sound? Is this a “guerilla marketing” technique to call attention to the electric endeavor?

I recall that there were issues like this in the USA with hybrid cars, as blind folks had difficulty sensing that the rather silent Prius was about to run them down. From what I’m finding, 2018 is the year that, in the USA, a follow-up law was scheduled to go into effect that requires all cars to make an audible engine noise.

There are also quieter cars that play fake engine noise into the cabin so that the driver can get the thrill of the exhaust sound without making other drivers’ ears bleed.

[Mazda] previously signaled that it will keep relying on fossil fuels

Well, someone has to keep recycling those dinosaurs, think Green :rofl:

Random generation of anime characters by sophisticated AI programs is now so good, it’s unreal

October 8, 2018 / Sora News 24
Never would we have thought that characters designed by AI programs jumped from rudimentary to ultra-advanced in the space of three years.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Google tried everything to force users onto Google Plus, including requiring it to make comments on YouTube, but even that wasn’t enough to get people to use it.

The social media market, like the streaming video market, is supersaturated.

Plot twist: it’s actually just a window :wink:

People just stop coming into work nowadays when they don’t like their jobs? Sheesh, whatever happened to the dream of telling your boss off and then dropping the “You can’t fire me, I quit!” line? :smiley: :+1:

“Ghosting” seems so passive-aggressive. :frowning:

Yes, it’s getting super ridiculous, I can only afford CR / Amazon, at the moment. Amazon has other benefits besides streaming. I plan to add Netflix eventually, but that’s pretty much it, no matter how interested I’m in to Young Justice S3, or the Star Trek Shows on CBS all Access

They tried individual streaming services before and a lot of those services ended up putting the content on Someplace else or being bought by others . I see this being a bad idea . Warner and Disney really should just create services that give access to all the companies materials they own . Add all the DC and marvel comics/movies/tv ever printed or made . Add all those Disney movies and shows they’ll never releases on home video . You have to make it worthwhile . They won’t think that smart though .
