I have looked carefully at their attire and fail to see what might be new about the styles. Can anyone tell me?
I will continue to look carefully for evidence of any newness of these styles but so far no luck.
Must keep looking...

That's a lot of money, over $1 a pound! Must be fancy stuff. Here in the US rice runs half that or less.

And his name is Madoman? He is a madman.
I think much of this barbaric behavior is inspired by violence on television. People get strange ideas and then, really, do they expect to get away with it? Well okay, in Japan the sentence for attempted murder is two years in prison, maybe. If you succeed, okay then it's five years.
What a barbaric country. On the other hand, this is human nature, the desire to harm others and not care about consequences.
I thought this was peacetime throughout much of the world. Apparently not.

The problem is that the expectations of privacy and isolation just aren't realistic in the environment of an apartment. When you move in, you need to realize that there will be neighbors who will be aware of your activities and vice versa. Blatant disregard of common courtesy will happen and the best answer is to move.
If you can afford it, get a house where you won't hear neighbors (for the most part) and they won't hear you. If you can't afford it, accept the fact that you won't have the privacy you'd like.

If she wasn't there, where did he get the PIN?

Apparently the underlying cause here is inadequate screening of applicants for the police force. Is it possible to test for alcoholic addiction? Have these people otherwise succeeded in the business of life? It's confusing and demoralizing.

Does anyone think he did this on purpose? With a motive? Leave the guy alone; he made a goof and is sorry. Unfortunately the consequences were serious but still it's an easy mistake to make. And mistake it was. And he is beating himself up over it, I'll bet.

I don't think it's necessarily age related. I am several years older than Otani and have had no accidents for many years. But then I take care of myself and don't have peripheral vision or attention problems.

Hydrogen sulfide is common enough stuff. It's what makes the smell of feces. Well, almost any sulphur compound is like that. And almost anything in large concentrations is deadly. Attempted murder? That's an extreme charge when it was just a little bottle.

I don't think a bartender gets paid enough to monitor the drinking of the customers. The customers are adults and are responsible for their own actions. It's general knowledge that drinking and driving don't mix; anyone who goes to a bar and expects to drive home is a potential law breaker and it's not up to the bartender to decide what they do.
Better to post police at every bar and check each patron as they leave for their cars.
Just another way of saying "sorry officer I was drunk and wasn't responsible" - this excuse is used all the time.

Oh yeah sure another case of being drunk as an excuse. The woman is totally at fault. The bartender was just doing his job, unless he is charged with the responsibility of the actions of his customers. Isn't it time to hold the customer responsible? What was she doing in a bar for two and a half hours?
