Thrawn

We have some and in our case it isn't about the timer function but the RFID tags on the cat collars because one will steal from the other two.

I can't speak for anyone else but they kept working for us. Only possible difference I can think of is that we did make sure to put in the optional D cell batteries.

I totally support this. I'm also ok as long as games are structured to allow easy modding to do the same. It should be common enough that a specific warning on games that don't have it on platforms like Steam.

Yep I'm aware of the crossovers but even then the Phineas and Ferb effect seems to make up for it just fine. Even the Milo Murphy crossover included... Probably just choose not to live near his family although it would keep life interesting and I assume property prices are basically free there.

If we assume I'm not one of the main characters but by living in the world it follows basically the same rules as them. Then zero question Phineas and Ferb.

I see so many people saying Star Trek but there are so many wars and other major issues in that world. In P&F the worst evil people in the world are part of LOVE MUFFIN and able to be completely handled and even often rehabilitated by animal agents.

I would love to see a lot of cars like this converted to EV this way. I remember loving this type of vehicle in the past. I specifically had a 1980 Oldsmobile

Empire is actually quite literal too.

While their organized crime was the normal illegal and semi hidden type through a huge percentage of the galaxy they did also have worlds they literally were the legitimate and direct government for.

Some of the city states in Italy history do fit fairly well to this.

For Ladybird I think due to politics of the/a lead developer. I haven't looked into it and don't know it it is well deserved or silly. Just enough of a thing that I have seen it complained about before.

For Servo I have no clue why someone would downvote over that.

First thing this is all purely personal opinion viewing stuff from outside and as a general interest in world history.

I am an American but I have lived outside the USA for a couple years and no it wasn't on a military base.

So with that said my personal interpretation is that China is still largely the same China as in ancient times and has decided to take several large chunks of both Communism and Capitalism and add those to the far far larger just continuing to do/be the same as they have for thousands of years.

To put it a different way, it is a case of fix what they feel was/is broken and keep doing all the things that work and from their point of view China has kept itself as one of the largest Nations in history for one of the longest times of any country.

So on the bad side you have things like them being willing to be extremely repressive is terms of censorship. Or the oppression of minorities they don't fall in line enough to the central control of the government. Or minimizing stories that damage their reputation like mining issues.

On the good side they seem to be able to at least partially consider long term large scale society value. At least from the point of view of engineering. The USA by comparison seems to exclusively only consider short term value. Often in terms of weeks or a financial quarter and occasionally the few year duration of a presidential or Senate term.

China also seems to care about improving the average life of it's citizens. This is a big deal and probably the most "Communist" thing. However that also goes along with them seemingly not just allowing but being perfectly happy to have some people have truly horrific lives as long as the baseline average is improving.

Full engine swap? Makes it even more ridiculous if so but someone stupid enough to do this seems like the type.

Safety. It improves visibility when pulling out and with backup cameras you lose no visibility pulling in.

I'll gladly take that trade every time.

The only way that might not be true is if your vehicle has an insanely large/long nose. If it does you shouldn't be driving it anyway.

I both lothe this happening and also know that it is often because of an intended safety feature called gray listing.

Basically due to resources cost a lot of spam will only get sent once and real emails will get sent again in exactly this kind of way. So it is a very low bar to pass when the system puts a low but above zero spam risk rating on it.

Yes of course more targeted things like spear phishing try more than once and get past this but bulk market type junk often does get blocked this way.

Well the smallest cat is getting bullied again by the other two. No blood or anything but she is so conflict avoidant and it makes us sad. Otherwise the three are all doing well.
