Guns are so unfair, too accurate and efficient. Crossbows are much more romantic and sporting.
Would be a great social experiment in Chicago, rather than have a mandatory gun buy back program, have a crossbow exchange program. Turn in your gun, get a crossbow.

Oy Vey. Biden Calls Japanese Masters Golf Champion 'Japanese Boy'
As I said in disqus comments, Biden may have been trying to reach the informality of a radio sport caster personality with that statement and failed rather spectacularly. Worse, he couldn't seem to invest any serious interest in this event at all, being wrapped up in himself over the recent spate of gun violence and the need for gun control. Not that this isn't an issue that doesn't need addressing, but only that Biden's priorities are focused on what he wants to look at - contingencies be damned....'>......
https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/r ... y-n1440657Instead, Biden plunged ahead and offended Suga, the Japanese people, Asians of any nationality, and the English language when he offered this scintillating observation.
“Yoshi, I know how proud you are — the people of Japan are — and you’ve got a Japanese boy coming over here, and guess what? He won the Masters. He won the Masters. He won the green jacket,” Biden said in the Rose Garden.

A friend who teaches at a college in NC has the following observations:

2. 75% of university functions, programs, and staff need to be deleted before the university system regains it's former health and credibility.
3. Students today are adolescents and prepubescents.
4. Some studies claim only 25% of students have the mental capacity to be in college. He thinks it is closer to single digits.
5. There is no word or term that some student in the class won't claim is "offensive!"

Re: Japan
Komuro-sama's escape was far more difficult than that of Nissan's former CEO, Ghosn.
FT | Mako Komuro, the quietly defiant former princess marries for love
FT | Mako Komuro, the quietly defiant former princess marries for love
The newly-wed has lost her title and challenged the constraints of Japan’s imperial family
The first few days of married life for Mako Komuro (née Her Imperial Highness Princess Mako of Akishino) were reportedly spent at the Oakwood Residence in Aoyama. This swish block of serviced apartments is a short stroll from the tree-encircled palace in which she grew up.
Physically, the distance between them is less than 800 metres. Emotionally, constitutionally and in the rolling, unwinnable scrum of public opinion, she might as well be on the Moon. Mako, the niece of Japan’s current emperor, plans to live in the US. She has gained a form of freedom, but at a cost certainly to herself, potentially to her younger sister and possibly to the rest of the country’s dwindling imperial family.
The event that took Mako on this journey was her ward registry-office wedding last Tuesday to Kei Komuro, a man in effect banished abroad for three years after their 2017 engagement and forced to watch from afar as his future bride was traumatised by media scrutiny of his mother’s chequered finances and public debate over his “worthiness”.
Komuro’s brave, if slightly icky, opening gambit in the postnuptial press conference was to declare his love for the ex-princess he had just led willingly into the ranks of common people like him. Some may have seen sincerity in those words, some defiance, some calculation. In the end, Mako’s was an evidently loving, ceremony-free marriage to a hard-working, aspiring lawyer whom she met and fell in love with at a private Christian university. It was a deed of such stolid conventionality that, surely, only the deranged could view it as an act of disrepute.
Many Japanese, when polled, did express some form of disapproval. In common with countries such as the UK, Japan, as spectator of and stakeholder in imperial matters, suffers a mild form of derangement. The problem arises from the indigestible mix of reverence for a national institution, a hunger for rare morsels of royal scandal and the snarling, proprietary righteousness of the taxpayers financing it all.
In Japan’s case, the recipe is further complicated by the bureaucrats of the Imperial Household Agency, whose assertion of duty so often seems to exact a tithe of mental health from those they are duty-bound to serve. When Mako’s post-traumatic stress disorder was announced in October, she represented the third generation of imperial family women to have been afflicted by the demands of palace life. Her grandmother, empress emerita Michiko, temporarily lost the power of speech, while her aunt, the current empress Masako, was treated for depression.
For some decades, the strategy of most Japanese imperial family members, in particular the now-retired emperor emeritus Akihito, has been to project a public tone of near-apologetic humility and gratitude. For Mako, now 30, who has been in the public eye since birth, the muscle memory is strong although it has been tempered by years studying overseas. When she and Komuro appeared for their 12-minute press conference last week, she bowed on average once every 48 seconds.
But somehow, despite everything that has happened, the couple pulled off a punchy exit speech. Even reading from a statement, Mako struck a defiant and independent tone, revealing that Komuro had studied in the US at her urging (rather than his choice) and describing their marriage as “a necessary decision in order for us to live”. This was delicately spoken, but strikingly blunt in its message.
Contained in her turn of phrase was a criticism of the Japanese media, and her assertion of the right to “a peaceful life”. She did not directly say that the past few years have strained relations with her father, but the line “we’ve done our best”, had the unambiguous sigh of a younger generation exhausted by battling the old.
The seeds of Mako’s ability to take this small stand were sown by her mother. Under Crown Princess Kiko, Mako, and her younger sister Kako, were raised somewhat outside the traditional constraints imposed on royal offspring. They both studied at International Christian University, known for its freewheeling, international culture, instead of the elite Gakushuin school that almost all imperial family members have attended. Takuya Miyata, a former palace chef who now operates a meat shop and restaurant, remembers the two cheerful sisters as they appeared at his kitchen holding hands to ask what he was making. “In my view, they weren’t any different from the mother and children of a normal family,” he said.
Still, Mako’s performance at the press conference hinted at the enormous abnormalities under which she grew up. In 2019 when her sister Kako was asked about the delay in Mako’s marriage, the popular princess suddenly found herself under fire when she suggested that her sister’s feelings be respected “as an individual”. This tiny request, and its use of the word “individual” overstepped the confines of the imperial family’s role as symbol of the state.
It is clear that the sisters are protective of one another. As Mako bade farewell to her immediate family and 30 years of life as a royal, she bowed formally to her sister. There was a momentary pause before the two women hugged, producing one of the warmest moments in postwar Japanese imperial family history. It remains to be seen whether Mako was leaving a good or bad template for escape.

So who has this one on their bingo card?
For some reason, this reminds of a personal anecdote.
Some friends and I were hosting a couple of visiting Canadian colleagues. We took them to an onsen [hot springs resort] in Awara.
Nearby was the small island of Oshima. It's connected to the mainland by a bridge so that one can walk to it.
https://www.google.co.jp/maps/@36.25181 ... 565,16.51z
One of the hosts mentioned that he had seen a TV program claiming that the island was mysterious and possibly haunted.
According to the program, aside from the magnetic rocks that throw off compasses, if one walked clockwise [or counterclockwise?], it was safe.
However, if one walked in the opposite direction, one would soon die. This fellow could not remember which direction was "safe".
Anyways, we walked across the bridge to the island and made it as far as Ominato Shrine when the same fellow became noticeably
concerned - scared and insisted that we return to the mainland. Our Canadians were a bit disappointed.
Later they told me that they were both bemused and amused that a senior professional at a major medical university in Kansai
would affected by such tales.

Japanese firms have no plans to abandon Russian energy project
Mitsui and Mitsubishi will stick with Sakhalin 2 to keep China away from the gas project
The Japanese trading giants, which hold a total stake of 22,5% in Sakhalin-2, will remain partners to the project, as “prompt exit is risky” and “will be in favor of China,” Nikkei newspaper reports, citing documents submitted by the companies to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan earlier this month.
The project has been one of the main sources of natural gas supply to Japan with nearly 100% of Japanese LNG imports coming from Sakhalin-2, according to media reports. Located on the Russian island of Sakhalin in the Pacific Ocean, north of Japan, the project reportedly produces nearly 11.5 million tons of LNG annually which is mainly exported to major markets in Asia.
