I use a Bluetooth to aux for my phone, which is only slightly annoying at times, but I blame the apps. I can play, play, pause, skip forward with my Bluetooth receiver, and OP will miss out on that, except they can PROBABLY use the dial blindly for just that.

Honestly, this wasn’t in my first list, and I passed it a few times before starting. I’m so glad I’m here.

Yeah, rubber mallets are still dangerous. That can be fixed with a sizeable donation to my prospective campaign fund.

Just make them out of softer material, like cork.

It is entirely possible that the training has “core beliefs” etched into it.

Maybe it is different for me because I moved every couple years growing up. I have lived in 15 places in my life, and the most recent is a record of over a decade.

Completely true, but not a loss.

So, the house is now valued at 6x the original value? If they sold it at only 4-5x it would still be a huge win.

That’s if the password recovery feature was set up properly.

The isolation leads to a lack of news. A lot of information is coming from church groups. People are told bad things are coming and they latch on to it.

I’m still creating local accounts using the bypass in the auto unattend file.
If a drive is crypto locked and there is only a local account, it might as well be wiped if nobody has a password.

Step one, be forced to create a Microsoft account.
Step two, create the account with a password you are SURE you remember
Step three, create a PIN so you never have to enter your password
Step four, forget your password

If I have to guess, it looks like compression. Either you are over extruding or your print head is too close.

It’s hard to separate the trash from the talk. I only got so far on that thread. Can anyone give a quick answer why they hate 4chan?

I think inclusion is the point here.
No, I don’t believe Miraculous is anime, but it is a love letter to the magical girl genera.
- Comment on Policy Updates and Feedback (+ a few other things) 1 month ago:
It’s definitely a blurry line. There are definite yes and definite no answers. Things like Star Wars: Visions don’t seem like anime to many Westerners at first glance, but it is wholeheartedly. I said elsewhere in these comments that I agree that Gaming as a community is too broad since it is nonspecific. I would leave it up to the communities to police their own content, and not step in unless the community appears unmoderated.

To be clear, that was the BEST run, when it wasn’t attempting to email the FBI or the fundamental laws of the universe.

That is a realistic measuring stick. While an Avatar (or whatever) community wouldn’t belong, content fitting a theme might be allowed. Honestly, unless someone was spamming content, I don’t see an issue with it.

It’s hard to pin down what anime and moe is 100%, but we pretty much know what you mean. We use anime and Japanese otaku culture to mean what we are saying, but Chinese games and manwah fit too.
What about Western media with anime influence?
Avatar could fit, and RWBY was on Crunchyroll. Madhouse notably has done some Western work.
I think there should be a fair amount of wiggle room because of this gray area. Cartoon network may not fit, but Toonami might.
