This also happens with car companies, but then it is borderline to fraud, e.g. manipulation of car registration statistics. I think Toyota once was warned to stop this practice.

The text on the plane (now upside down) reads:
The world on time.
It is sad and quite ironic, when keeping the schedule has a higher priority at first and then leads to the opposite outcome - too late.

If she gets married, the baby will find out, if the 88cm are for real. Then, maybe poor baby will get the bottle instead. And just touch, touch, touch.

Now if the idea of Stauffenberg would be somehow translated to the situation in North Korea.
There should be one subtle difference. This time it should work.

Also my little boy likes Moe Oshirikiri. I wonder if she can only speak English and Japanese? Maybe she is also skillful in French?

tigris: Thank you for your comments related to German regulations on Guns. Actually I don't think these German regulations are very strict - they are quite balanced and based on reason. If you can prove you need a gun and you can prove that you are prepared to handle it correctly and follow the laws, you will get it.
As mentioned, self-defense is not regarded as a need to get a gun. On the other hand, police is prepared to act quite fast. On the website of the German ARD (a TV program comparable to NHK) they report, that the police arrived at the school 2 minutes after calling.
For the average German citizen the law means, that he will not get a Gun. In this respect it is strict. If a person becomes a member of a shooting club, he can experience how to handle guns in a special save environment. Looking from viewpoint of shooting as a sport, the law is not strict, but reasonable.
Finally, regarding police, they are allowed to carry guns in public and they are trained to to so. And regarding "self-defense", police-men are allowed to "protect others", e.g. to protect innocent bystanders they are allowed to shoot a dangerous subject carrying a gun.

Actually I had this at home, and I hated it. With these curtains and a usually cramped fridge, it takes longer to put things in or take things out, so the energy saving is only marginal.

Maybe I should explain my point. I can look at the web-shop of an electronic components maker, and then I already find the product, which now Oki struggles to make. From my point of view Oki is making a "me to" product.

Actually it is something, which I have seen a decade before in Germany. Basically it converts DC from the solar panel to AC voltage, which can be either used in the household, or send back to the power network.
A comparable system can be also found in the control of the wind generators. Basically nothing much new here.

Ans why did the truck driver failed to stop at the red light? Yeah, I know the answer, "I was afraid to brake, the load might slip".

Very good.
Yes, and many thanks for the wind energy data. Of course, wind does not blow every-time. However, wind power plants are a mature technology. And the more of them are used at the right place, one can decrease the amount of power plants using non-regenerative fuel.

Looking at the numbers: wind power in the order of 1000 MW (MegaWatt) and solar power in the order of 1 MW (MegaWatt). Compare this with the power output of a conventional nuclear power plant (1GW = 1000 MW), and then it is easy to see, which would be the way to go.

Okinawamike, sensei258:
As you said, it might well be that most of the underwear, which he grabbed was washed. But how can you be sure? For example bedding and related items might be just put out into the sunlight. Or it might be that the washing machine of a victim is not inside the house, but in a nearby storage place, as can be for houses in the countryside. Then there might be a basket near the place of the washing machine, under the roof, but still outside, where "not yet clean clothes" are collected. My point is, dirty clothes are collected in a basket and such kind of basket might have been accessible to the thief also.

Ebi-chans mouth and lips look like too much botox, and her toes are coming out of her shoes, where they were squeezed in, especially the left foot. In total it looks like the opposite of smart dressing.

And his parents did not wonder when he was washing these clothes? Or, even worse, he did not wash them, because he likes it smelly?
