I'd write down the URL, but since it's voting day, I didn't want to link to it just in case. w
No, I'm not supporting a particular political party, is that okay?
I made it a link since the date changed.

I'll organize the weekly journal tomorrow.
When I organize today, I'm inevitably going to have to mention certain party activities.
nishio Everyone was working with their hands until the last minute. It was an interesting festival. Looking forward to seeing the results. nishio Who thought of a system where after the festival is over, everyone who contributed will be shown in the end roll. And there's another scene after the end roll, isn't there, like Nausicaa? If you don't vote, come to Africa!
I'll let you experience real crazy politics.

philomyu Personally, I'm of the "democracy is really important" school of thought before I care about any party, so I want everyone to go to the voting booth in the worst possible mood and write down the names of strangers they see on the spot. I want everyone to go to the polls and write down the name of a stranger they see on the spot, and then be happy or angry when that person fails, wins, or does something good or bad after winning. >philomyu: I think there's a common thing that happens on election day, "I start watching election specials while drinking alcohol, and when I'm happy or sad that someone I support or personally find unforgivable has been accepted or rejected, I realize it's late at night and the first MTG the next morning is too sleepy". I can enjoy democracy without any worries.
nishio Voting in House of Councillors election "must go" increases among younger voters Voter turnout expected to exceed previous election nishio Japan appears to be the last bastion of democracy, Taiwan's former Digital Minister Audrey Tan says >hal_sk With democracy down to the Cold War era, can Japan, a relatively undivided country, be the last bastion of democracy? The world is paying attention to us.
On the other hand, Japan is also becoming permeated with a divisive virus. A scene I saw a long time ago in the US. The countdown to division has begun.

LUUP Useful Stories
The event ends at 7pm and you move to the next venue by 8pm.
I checked at 7pm and it's a 20 minute bus ride to the station, and if you include the train, you'll just barely make it in time.
LUUP created room to run 2km in 12 minutes.
The nice thing about LUUP is that you can ride it out.
I had experience up to "bike + phone holder + GPS."
But with your own bike, you need a "place to park".
Plus, in the old days, it might have been commonplace to park illegally there.
I'm just speeding up the "from my house to the train station" course, which is not much different from walking.
I was not really going to the destination, but rather, I was going to the virtual spots around me in the geo-game and coming back home.

1: To and from the station
2: Tour of home
3: Go to your destination and ride away
New use cases for these 3 have been added.
You don't even have to be on the same bike the next time you move from that destination.
You will be charged for the duration of the rental, so return it when you get to your destination area to end the contract.
No mass-derived ties to "find a place to park your bike" or "ride your bike home."

tanukiponkich I'm looking at the github report of Team Mirai. I'm not sure if it's possible for me to handle this by myself since there are more than 5,000 PRs, but I can see the horsepower of the group of engineers that Mr. Yasuno has assembled to get the job done. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GwSL9-nbAAA1bcW?format=jpg&name=large#.png https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GwSMDqGW4AAFOTw?format=jpg&name=900x900#.png
tanukiponkich This is due to the unexplored projects that METI has invested in over the decades. It was essential to foster a community that included the University of Tokyo and SFC. ---
