She felt all high and mighty thinking she caught some sexists without confronting the men and explaining what they actually meant with "Dongle". She thought by tweeting it, she was a Hero but instead it just expose her for what a hypocrite and a Smug she is.

In the end, i hope the two guys who were fired are rehired or get new jobs.
As for her......... she better act more appropriate next time if she gets a new job.

Still, I think the case and the divided community that followed is a result of how distinct the weak and strong are in our first-world societies. Strong women would have easily brushed off that comment, or delivered a sarcastic remark to the guys that will net them a drink or two from these men.

Weak women just get pissed. With the advent of "feminazism" and these weak women banding together under the banner, not a wonder why men no longer compete with each other for mates; no guy would want to have weak offspring. And without competition due to the lack of strong women, men just get weaker and they no longer hone their "manliness" in order to attract a viable mate.

And there you go. Lower birth rates and eventual extinction. Though it is disturbing to note that strong, good women are either married/engaged, lesbians or fujoshis - like the way why strong, good men are gay, married or broke.

Japan extracts gas from methane hydrate

Japan says it has successfully extracted natural gas from frozen methane hydrate off its central coast, in a world first.

About time. Now, the question is: What are you going to do about those pushy PRC hegemonists?

3 things to note :

#1 : PRC now says the entire Japan belong to them. By proxy of the Senkaku Islands.

#2 : If TEPCO is going to build those plants, Japan is going turn in a giant fartbomb the next earthquake.

#3 : Then again, China and SK will probably try to avoid Japan because it is going to be a massive fuel air bomb - attack us and we will blast the entire East Asia apart! This resource is Japan's Sakuradite from Code Geass - now we just need a narcisstic siscon to trigger a mass explosion from the seafloor.

And I am a little too lazy to completely explain everything about Methane Hydrate, scientifically. Here is an article which I think is a pretty comprehensive read :

Just a note: the area around Dokdo has even more deposits than Japan put altogether.

I suggest we inject a large amount of liquified oxygen (by electrolysing the water then channelling it directly into the deposits) into the seafloor to deny the dirty Koreans of a resource to compete with Japan.

Probably it won't be as much as what the Russians/Alaskans have. Here is a picture showing how much everyone has :



It probably won't overtake oil from the Mideast for a long time, but it will be incredibly destructive because methane hydrate is alot more volatile than crude. Storage is going to be gigantic problem.

Is this how the Russian SVR train their new agents? Assassinating Cold-War era old men?

Note : There is plenty of money to be made in any conflict.

Governmental use of unmanned surveillance drones has inspired a lot of concern about privacy, but New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg thinks the battle's already over. In a radio interview this week, Bloomberg said essentially that drones are an inevitable part of our future (and maybe our present), comparing them to the thousands of cameras already located around Manhattan. "What's the difference whether the drone is up in the air or on the building?" he asked. "We're going into a different world, uncharted... you can't keep the tide from coming in."
