I’m Chinese myself, and... yeah, it’s kind of obnoxious, but I’m also kind of numb to China pitching a bitch about everything. This seems like a really petty thing comparatively.
They're accusing Netflix of three things:
Love this corporate dig they went for here, you can really just feel the smug coming off some lawyer writing it:
So metal.
You should see my next one.
As a mechanical engineer, it never ceases to amaze me what we are able to engineer together. This is one of the most metal things I’ve ever seen.
I was going to say that David owned cars in worse shape than this.
You got it - it is literally just a big chain pulling upwards and going back and forth. No teeth or anything, though sometimes the chain is carbide encrusted (this one seems to not be). Ultimately, compared to the chain, the ship is made of thin steel. This is like sawing string through aluminum foil.
My wife and I were just in south Georgia Thanksgiving weekend visiting the in-laws and went to Brunswick to check this out. Pretty cool operation.
I expected the chain to be an upsized soil cutter approach, but am disappointed. Is this just cutting with repetition and sheer force of will without any visible abrasive enhancement?
I expected to see David Tracy shopping for a new project at the docks

The core problem—that the novel’s vision of geekdom focuses entirely on the favorite media of cishet white men—is more difficult to address.

I get this is probably a dumb question: why did they open the hood?
This is always the kind of thing that scares me. Not being banned for selling something like that — it seems like a stupid idea no matter which way you look at it. But the amount of control these companies have over your games is ridiculous, and you never quite know when you’re doing something you may get banned for…
Knowing Apple, they will make third party windshields throw a warning light and the car losing 20hp until you replace it with a genuine Apple windshield at an authorized dealer.
I grew up quite poor, so the old TV dinners in the foil tray were considered a treat when they were on sale and my mom had the extra money. It was exciting as kid in the late 70's get a dessert with dinner when it wasn’t someone’s birthday or a holiday.
I remember eating Swanson “TV dinners” when I was a kid in the 60's. They were in aluminum foil trays as this was the pre-microwave era. Usually it was fried chicken with mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables and IIRC some kind of apple dessert in the top middle pocket. I haven’t had one since the early 1970's, of course…
