I had lost all interest in computers since the iPad came out in 2010, because what I really wanted was a computer like the iPad, not a desktop or a laptop. For a few years after the iPad came out, I was so enthusiastic about it that I bought every new iPad model that came out. The Windows desktop I assembled in 2008 didn't need much performance, s

I asked GPT-3.5 to write an introduction to the religion of the sect "Practical Repair WD-40 Religious Contact Resurrectionist".

WD-40 is used all over the world, but it is not sold in Japan except in Okinawa Prefecture, which was once ruled by the United States. First, I asked GPT-3.5 to write an introduction to the religion of the sect "Practical Repair WD-40 Religious Contact Resurrectionist". I would like to create a sect called "Practical Repair WD-40 Religious Contact Resurrectionist". As a result, chat GPT-3.5 wrote me an overview of the religion. "We know that contacts deteriorate with dirt and rust over the years. But we also know that contacts can be revived. We are working in practice to revive faith by wiping old contacts and cleaning them with WD-40 SPECIALIST CONTACT CLEANER. We treat WD-40 as sacred and pray for the revival of our contact points. We founded this denomination because we believe that our lives are made better by contact points." Interesting, so I continued and asked the question to chat GPT-3.5. Please write on our behalf the doctrine that needs to be s

Non-tariff barriers for Japanese imports.

  My Toyota GAIA Limited and my friend's Ford Mustang GT, both 1999 models. In Japan, there are no tariffs on imported cars, but because Japanese cars are not compliant with the international VIN code and are Galapagos cars, maintenance shops in town can only obtain maintenance manuals for cars sold for the domestic market, However, with regard to imported cars, even if the car was imported and sold by an authorized dealer in Japan, the imported car dealers sell the imported car at a high price, looking at the customer's footsteps with the image strategy that the imported car is a "luxury car" more than it really is, and they charge a high price for maintenance. Only millionaires like AFJ people can easily afford to buy them. In addition to this, even authorized dealers have to wait a long time for replacement parts for repairs to arrive, and I think the problem is that the nature of the market forces fewer and fewer imported cars. In addition, even for models sold i

What is the point of a Japanese person working in Japan?

It is considerably more advantageous to receive social security benefits if you meet the conditions for being exempt from income tax and municipal tax. In low-wage Japan, it is ridiculous to earn income through labor. This is because wages are cheap and not commensurate with the nature of the work. If the tax exemption threshold is exceeded even slightly, various other taxes are collected multiply, and the loss is often greater than the increased income. As a result, in today's Japan, if you earn wages through labor, it may be wiser to get a job that earns much more than the average annual income, or to work very little and receive social security. Non-regular workers who work long hours for low wages will not receive social security and will probably be poorer than those who do not work.

Which country paid for that research budget?

 U.S. geoscientist Syukuro Manabe was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. His nationality is definitely U.S.A. , but... Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida issued a statement this month saying, " As a Japanese citizen , I am proud of the Nobel Prize in Physics awarded to Dr. Syukuro Manabe , a senior researcher at Princeton University. The BBC reported him as an American , but news programs in Japan reported him as " a Japanese who won the Nobel Prize although his nationality is USA. He is a Japanese-American, and as such, Japanese news programs frequently tend to report the achievements of Japanese-Americans as if they were the achievements of the Japanese people. This is true not only in the field of science and technology, but also in the field of sports. The Japanese Prime Minister should not be carefree and should take seriously the fact that many excellent Japanese researchers have given up their Japanese citizenship to become researchers in the US. Japan is a

Japanese TV stations reported lies that differed from the CDC's view.

Read: Internal CDC document on breakthrough infections - The Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/context/cdc-breakthrough-infections/94390e3a-5e45-44a5-ac40-2744e4e25f2e/ According to the CDC's internal report in the above article, it states the following Delta variant vaccine breakthrough cases may be as transmissible as unvaccinated cases However, the Japanese TV station NTV and other stations reported the following. According to CDC data, the risk of serious illness is reduced by a factor of 10 in people vaccinated against the delta strain. On the other hand, the risk of infection is only one-third. Comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated people across the U.S., the risk of unvaccinated people is eight times higher risk of infection, 25 times higher risk of hospitalization, and 25 times higher risk of death. It is easy to think of this report as intentionally providing false information to viewers, rather than misinformation.

I knew We needed to wear a mask even after the vaccination.

 In a previous article I wrote in May, I wrote that wearing a mask is necessary even after vaccination. It is a big lie that vaccinated people can wear no mask. https://blog.hozumin.com/2021/05/it-is-big-lie-that-vaccinated-people.html My prediction was correct, and the CDC has now issued a new opinion that vaccinated people need to wear masks as well. CDC recommends vaccinated people resume wearing masks indoors in some circumstances - The Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2021/07/27/cdc-masks-guidance-indoors/ Vaccines only prevent the onset of the disease, not the transmission of the disease to others, and as the number of vaccinated people increases, the number of people infected with coronaviruses will increase. The number of infected people in my country, Japan, has reached a record high. The vaccination rate in Japan is not high, but it seems as if the number of coronavirus infections is increasing in tandem with the increase in vaccinated people.
