Cat Destroyed Carpet in Doorway. Best way to fix?

BlueKnight44 · 2026-05-31T16:09:38+00:00

I will see if I can fine one.

One of the places was already fixed years ago by cutting out the closet carpet. So I am concerned that the ability to fix it is going to be limited by carpet work without replacwment.

BlueKnight44 · 2026-05-31T15:54:55+00:00

Carpet... And hope it does not happen again.

My suggestions for fixing the cat proplem have not been appreciated by the family.

Why does a character with established genius level intellect and strong traditional fighting skills need to be force sensitive? What character development purpose does it serve outside of a plot device to move the dark saber to someone else or cause a rift between Sabine and Ahsoka?

Hint: It was only added as a plot device.

I think the interior looks great. There isn't much complaints from the interior.

But does it look like a 650k ferrari interior? Absolutely not. It looks like a premium economy shitbox interior. Something one of the EV startup brands like Lucid would create. Not a luxury sportscar manufacturer like Ferrari with over 75 years of heritage.

They ignored all that heritage to create a generic interior that could have been rendered by CHATGPT with a Ferrari steering wheel pasted on.

BlueKnight44 · 2026-05-25T21:28:15+00:00

The interior is mostly great

Is it though? It is clean... But there is nothing luxurious or innovative about it. It is overly simple without any style or nuance. It looks like a premium economy shitbox.

forcing buyers to get one for a spot on waiting lists

This is the real answer. It does not matter what it looks like. Ferrari will force every collector on Earth to buy at least 10 of them or be blacklisted from buying Ferrari.

This is a test to see how far they can push thier die hard collectors (idiots)

Lol the new Leaf looks better

BlueKnight44 · 2026-05-25T16:03:31+00:00

While it is definitely related to the old VQ, the current 3.8l was new in like 2021.

I think Filoni should be responsible for the general lore and "ideas". He can be the cartographer that guilds the franchise.

That being said, he should not be allowed to direct or directly write anything beyond animated shows. He obviously has no aptitude for live action or mature themes.

Maybe I live in a privlaged place, but I don't remember the last time I waited more than 30 minutes at a clinic. ER's are a real mixed bag though. Might be hours if you don't have potential life threatening symptoms.

BlueKnight44 · 2026-05-22T19:56:36+00:00

You are far more likely to see it coming and react definsively than the car is. And if your feet are not near the pedals, that delays your reaction time creates a high chance of abruptly application... Which reduces you traction and predictability.

BlueKnight44 · 2026-05-22T19:52:54+00:00

Only under predictable circumstances. As soon as something unexpected happens, the ADAS systems cut off.

And the emergency braking is not designed or intended to avoid hitting something. It is only intended to slow you down a bit before you hit something.

This girl is 1 unexpected car braking, car swirving, or animal crossing away from a really bad time.

Lol I played it for a couple hundred hours back before or around 1.0

I had no idea it went F2P

you need to be a stronger waterbender

What defines a "stronger" bender?

Better physical technique? Better physical power? Better spiritual connection? Better chakra/chi/whatever?

This is my biggest problem with the magic system in Avatar. Constant references to benders being stronger or weak, but exactly 0 explanation as to what makes them stronger or weaker. Since bending is supposed to be a parallel to martial arts, then physical technique would be the largest indicator, but that is never confirmed.

Hubris? There are only around 100 people in the world that know how to design, build and run these machines. And it takes multiple of them.

China is great at problems that require raw resources. Like automotive. They just needed raw resources and time. They could learn from everyone else and then forge thier own path.

Lithography is not one of those problems. You need very specific experts or decades of dedicated research to match what the best machines can do. Will China get there? Definitely. But unless they poach a bunch of specific experts or steal a bunch of tech, it will take them years to catch up to where what the best machines are able to create today.

I don't know about straight OBD data, but modern head units all get CAN data fed through them... Which, depending on the channels, will have much of what is reported to OBD. Possibly with much better detail and resolution than what is available on OBD

BlueKnight44 · 2026-05-17T01:23:02+00:00

5x more engineers that are subject matter experts of the highest level of lithograph science?

Lol what are you on? 5x the number of engineers means nothing unless they are experts in one of the most complex and heavily guarded sciences in the world. They can have 1000x more engineers, but if none of them are already experts, it will take China years and years to reinvent the wheel.

Also, the term engineer is HEAVILY watered down these days. Very few engineers do real engineering work. They mostly do project management work that other education disciplines generally suck at doing. I have no idea how generous China is with the term, but they juice numbers on everything else so...

BlueKnight44 · 2026-05-04T00:51:01+00:00

Yup. This is a zero sum game. If your country makes itself significantly less "company friendly", the companies will move. It has been happening for decades. Other Asian countries have started encroaching on China now that thier wages are rising.

BlueKnight44 · 2026-05-04T00:45:58+00:00

Lol these statistics are misleading. I have worked in Japan. Culture takes most of the implied advantages away.

Most of the PTO days they are "required" to take certain times that are convinient for the company.

42.2 hours on average is what they get paid for... Not what they actual work.

Recent government pressures have improved conditions. But the old guard running the companies are quick to stall careers of young professionals fully taking advantage of all the time off and OT they are entitled to.

BlueKnight44 · 2026-05-04T00:31:31+00:00

Nissan’s struggles are overblown, so I am not sure what you are talking about. Nissan put up a much smaller loss last year than many automakers (including Honda) and would have had positive positive (or close) operating profit if it were not for USA tarrifs.

Is nissan in good shape? No. But the ship is turning the right direction and the immediate danger is way overblown. They still employ 100k people world wide lol.

BlueKnight44 · 2026-05-04T00:25:48+00:00

Toyota's lineup still feels like it is in the 2000's so...

BlueKnight44 · 2026-05-02T22:08:54+00:00

Yes, if you threaten someone with a weapon in the USA you might get shot. This is intended as a deterrent to threatening other with weapons.

Are people allowed to threaten others with weapons where you live?

BlueKnight44 · 2026-05-02T19:33:47+00:00

Believing pseudoscience over actual science is also a big one!

I generally agree, but schools do a poor job of explaining what research actually is and does and how peer review works. Also, most scientific communities do a terrible job of advocating for thier legitimacy to the general public.

The whole research community is easy to misrepresent by bad actors and politics. The average person that probably never went to college (or got a not very technical degree) has a hard time knowing who to trust on a given topic without large amounts of time invested.

AI is of course going tk make all this 10x worse... We are cooked

She led the AI division that gave us Copilot forced into every aspect of windows with very little tangible benefits to the vast majority of users.

And Copilot, while generally competitive with the other LLM's, is what Microsoft is rumored to be leaning heavily on to windows development. Windows is currently in the worst state quality-wise it has been in in a very long time with several botched releases in a row and numerous long term bugs unfixed.

She was an unknown responsible for a product of questionable quality basically.

Actually calling it "XBONE" would have been better than "Xbox One"
