    Japan doesn’t even bother with street names, except the largest ones in big cities. If you want to find a house, they are also not necessarily numbered sequentially. Sometimes the houses in a neighborhood are numbered in the order they were built.

    If you want to find a house, you go to the neighborhood map and look there. At least, that’s how it used to be. Now everything is GPS. I was using GPS in a car close to 30 years ago, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the first place in the world to have consumer GPS, simply because they needed it.




  • I just went to the emergency room today (in Canada). I had slipped on ice and my knee was too painful to walk.

    Arrive at 9:00 am. Small town, no charge for parking at the hospital.

    Go into the emergency department, no one waiting there. I take a number, it’s #2.

    Five minutes later, I’m with the triage nurse. She decides I should have an X-ray before seeing the doctor. That takes 30 minutes.

    Wait 15 minutes for the doctor, she stays that nothing is torn or broken, I just have a sprain. Gives me a knee brace and prescription for an anti-inflammatory.

    Walk out 90 minutes after I arrived. Total cost: $0.00 (plus $2.85 to fill the prescription).


  • I don’t know. I think the Constitution only matters if Trump and mega don’t control all three branches of the government.

    After all, weren’t the search and seizure is everywhere. Disregarding habeas corpus. Disobeying court orders to release detainees. Bullying allies and doing his best to undermine NATO.

    Now he wants the federal government to have control over National elections, and it seems pretty clear that if the Republicans look like they’re going to lose control of the house or senate, elections will be suspended completely.

    Every time Trump crosses a red line, people, Democrats especially, just draw a new red line.








  • I think they should be upfront with people that when they go to her concert, they’re not hearing her sing live, at least most of the time, and they are not hearing the band play live.

    It should be obvious that no singer could do several 3-hour shows a week for more than a year, and not have it affect her voice.

    Just check out the Wings of Pegasus YouTube channel, to see where two different concerts in different countries had exactly the same music (vocal and instrumental).

    I know several people who spent thousands of dollars to see her in concert. I’m not going to go out of my way to ruin the memory for them. They got the experience they wanted. But I’m also not going to pretend that it was a musical experience.
