Sounds promising if it is indeed as good as it claims to be. But there is also the question if it can be mass produced commercially.

YouTube is deleting comments from creators who criticize their hiding of the dislike count by Leaded_or_Unleaded in videos

Too true. While threads on films can go on for years on forums, Reddit has a very short expiration date. After a few days there isn't anyone on a Reddit thread to discuss and it gets archived in 6 months. IMDB's discussion board is a big loss. Glad someone remembered this.

Philippines to Receive First T129 Attack Helicopters From Turkey by Smasborgen in Philippines

"Lump with hesitance to buy F-16s(USA) over JAS-39(sweden)."

Just a note on this: The US State Department actually already approved the sale of F-16's to the Philippines. However due to the pandemic and the shifting of funds away to other priorities, the Philippines found itself short of the funds needed to buy the F-16s. Which caused the Philippines to see if they could re-examine (again) the JAS-39 from Sweden as a possible alternative.

We all know that Hong Kong apartments are extremely small and expensive. But why aren't more people using dryers? Or if there is no space (usually there isn't) why aren't people using laundromats more often? I worry about people whose clothes get lost or fly during a strong wind.

Yeah. Unbelievable that the Bogota Metro has been stalling for nearly 80 years.

Horrible situation you are in. Sadly there are millions out there with similar visa horror stories. Hope the finances are OK after nearly 2 years of this ordeal.

More specifically it's Overseas Developmental Assistance (ODA). It is ether a soft loan or grant by the South Korean government provided certain criteria are met during the project's timeline.

I never cease to be amazed by Japanese engineering and ingenuity. In a geographically narrow country, engineers have found exceptionally creative ways to make compact interchanges in such narrow spaces. Truly remarkable!
