They still do random carthweels.

New list just dropped

As far as I know, Ukraine is now taking more territory than it is losing. It is Ukraine that is now constantly creeping forward. Russia is losing occupied territory.

I see. My bad. That is inconvenient indeed. My guess is that they want to promote paperless alternatives (commuter cards, digital commuter cards, credit cards where usable). More and more stations allow you to use your credit card as a commuter card, so you would neither need an IC card nor a paper ticket. They upgraded the gate where I lived in 2024. Give it a few years.

It would be nice to be able to buy paper tickets cashless, as well, though.

The current magnetic paper tickets are replaced with paper tickets with QR codes on them. Not digital QR codes on your phone. The article is misrepresenting that with the photo showing a QR code on a phone. That’s not what this is about.

You can pay your fare using an IC card that can be charged using cash or via your Japanese bank/credit card. You can also pay with your credit card directly, though I imagine not everywhere, as I’ve seen extra terminals installed for that.

Phone tickets (えきねっと) have also existed for some time. Only shinkansen and the likes, though.

This change has nothing to do with IC cards or existing phone ticket systems. Paper tickets become different paper tickets.

That is possible and has been possible for some time.

That is exactly how it works in Japan.

I’m no expert, but what about waste sulfur in smelting (also mentioned in the article)?

Au revoir, Telegraph and Politico.

Epstein files

This particular file was apparently released in 2023 with the same faulty redactions.

I’ve seen other articles floating this idea but is this something that’s confirmed? This article refers to the Wall Street Journal but is there a concrete source in which EU representatives are quoted or a written proposal that would suggest such a course of action for me to look up?
