Dr. Craig says, “In Japan this has been known for a long time, but raises the question: why would these mobile hunter-gatherers invest time in heavy, fragile pots?
“Our research shows that [hunter-gatherer] pottery was associated with processing fish—we suggest that these resource-rich water-edge environments meant that they could be slightly less mobile, thus freeing up time to invest in pottery production.”
Instead, I would offer that these were effectively fish-farmers, not mobile hunter-gatherers, living off a water resource, in the same way a farmer lives off the land. Same thing the US pacific NW, where for the indigenous there, the easy takings were from the water and not the land. Why spend time digging in the dirt, when the water is so bountiful?

My Dad's a long time mid-westerner, who's major life traumas were a smoking habit he finally ditched about 1980 and 19 months as a POW in Germany.
I don't think he's ever had, nor could I could get him to eat sushi, and he's now 94. It's not all about the fish.
Friday dinner is our temaki day. I'm stingy with the rice, generous with the fish and veggie toppings, and then switch about halfway thru to just eating the fish (as sashimi).
btw, buri is the best fish in the world, not tuna.

Anything falling out of an aircraft on take-off or approach would seem to be pretty unusual.

Who cares.
The umpteenth article about how this one-hit wonder might change the world.
Has it happened yet?
No, I didn't think so. (And don't hold your breath.)

Yes, the driver is a negligent ass, but a five-year old, somehow separated enough from other members of her family, enough that a car can hit her and not the others...?
As a parent of two I find this surprising.

In spite of the criticism in other comments, I do think what he's offering has at least reasonable validity. Companies use meyers-briggs all the time, and this seems to be an extension of that.
So, Chuck, good luck!

So this "still snatching" claim informs the DPRK aspect of things, while the farmers (a sliver of the economy) keep pointing at the trans pacific trade pact.
Japan is kind of mis-directed these days, and priorities for all kinds of stuff need to be re-established.
