TOKYO (Reuters) - Just months after Quince was deployed to inspect Japan's tsunami-devastated Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, the $6 million robot got trapped in its dark and winding pathways.
Seventeen months later, the high-tech soldier is still missing in action - a symbol of a daunting decommissioning project that will take decades, require huge injections of human and financial capital and rely on yet-to-be developed technologies.
Meanwhile, they are all, the government, Tepco and IAEC, fucking spewing confusing propaganda about the health effects every day. It is fucking disgusting.
and how the efff can shareholders and SEC stand by as a guy negotiates to sell the family jewels and in doing so gets a quarter billion effective kickback
meanwhile
Ex-school board member now a convicted ketchup thief
It took a jury three hours over two days to convict the former Orange school board trustee of petty theft Thursday for stealing a 14-ounce bottle of Heinz last September from a dining area at Chapman University.
Obviously a hardened criminal, eh. I bet he has along record of theft...salt shakers, toothpick bottles, extra packets of horsey sauce from Arby's, and so on.
Glad they caught him before he elevates his crimes to Thingamajigs, etc.
Yes that is one of my favourites. Shortly i will select several others and begin my collection. I owe you as i was depressed this past year and never understood exactly why until your art became my councillor! Thanks WB
You stood up against the banksters and the Washington Imperium.
Whilst you died young, the likes of Henry Kissinger seem to go on forever.
You survived assassination attempts by the CIA and went on to reduce poverty in your country, but now you are dead and the way is now open to plunge your country back to the days when the likes of Ollie North were instrumental in destabilizing S America via drug and arms deals.
Great stuff tonight, I alway thoguht the whole thing may go down like this: China real estate bubble pops, new Red Guard type uprising occurs, A collaspe occurs worse than 2008, a super drought hits this summer, food shortage, civil uprising, Obummer has to gunship most of the black neighborhoods as they become absolute wars zones. Does not seem that out of touch right now. Military refuses after the damage is displayed on you tube. Of course they did a pretty good job of cutting the Occupy Movement at bay last year.
I suspect they will wish for doscile protesters after the next wave hits them next fall/winter.
I live in an economically slowed neighborhood. The local real estate agents bought panel trucks and wrapped them with adverts to the effect "Buy this house, use this truck for free"
QE5 might involve replacing undercarriages for vans down by the river. (zerohedgeville)
oh what revolution sleeps within the heart of man and espeiclaly the Chinese people - our destinies are entwined, "western" and "eastern" man - for we are both slaves - and as MLK put it "the day the slaves stop fighting each other, they cease to be slaves."
all humans on earth systematically fucked in the ass by elites for 14k years or so
only now the glimmer of a new possibility, now as things seem at their darkest, rays of brilliant light are bursting through all seven veils
like a light saber of truth through the gordian know of the global bankster occupation army
Good chartz, Viejo. The housing one reminds me of the pain my friend is experiencing now b/c he moved from Arkansas to NH back in about 2006 and paid $775k for a house which seemed to be average for that Bubble area at the time. Now all those houses are valued at (and selling at) less then $480k. That's a Big Hickey esp when you consider he'll have to shell out about 8-10% in fees and commissions when he sells it due to job change, etc.
One of your best presentations WB.
In the absence of the LK, I thought I'd consult Econ Minimus, the plain mans poet:
Disciples of Freidman blew bubbles
And this led to manifold troubles.
This monetarist mess,
Which they're loath to confess,
Now results in so many debacles.

Heinz is MONSANTO anyway, who the hell buys that tomato sauce is insane..

I love hearing about people being uplifted by my art/humor. That is really the most rewarding thing any artist/performer can ask to hear.
Look forward to hearing from you my friend.
Where are the 1 million unemployed realtors, marching marching with their pimps lawyers fighting for a house for every louse?
NO DOC of course.
its an investment, not a house its a HOMEEEEEEE......lol
Jesus Christ William, where in hell to you get all these ideas? It's sort of an endless flow, kinda like money printing.
WB7; one more for Chavez maybe?
RIP Hugo.

William, you just frigging rock - and I don't say that to many.
VISUAL COMBAT FINE ART PRINTS
Mmmmm, bubbles.
@blumaberlin is a tasty little morsel, eh? Sorry WB7, you're just not built quite right for me. Your satirical art and visual combat rocks though...

If you love your freedom, thank a philosopher.
If you love what you see, thank an artist.
If you love your money, thank a bankster.
If you love eternal life, thank your Heart.
If you love…you are…thank you!

My apartment block for a bowl of rice, comrade. With dim sum, of course ...
AnAnAnAnAnAnAnAnAnAnAnAnAnAnAnAnAnAnAnAnAnAnonymous Approves
Now available in head bobble version!
maybe you can find somebody to give you a bag of rice for an apatment, but for sure not for a piece of paper
Canvas bag is maybe give shelter, but piece of paper, is not workable. Brick and corrugated sheet metal is much preferable.
