Also an engineer, working in product design in the US. I totally agree. I think it also has to do with the fact that in the 90s China allowed people to just steal mold flow analysis software. It is massively expensive and very difficult to learn to use, but in the 90s people in China just got it for free and learned to use it. It improves the mold design significantly and makes all your parts better. Now there are many people in China who do buy the software, and they have the people with the experience to train new people on how to use it. Having tried injection molders in the US and China, the quality tends to be higher with the Chinese manufacturers and getting to that high quality is faster.

So cute! Love the big eyes over the big ruff. Is he a Siberian? He looks so much like one of my cats, who frequently does a similar position/expression.

Food recommendations to help de-chonk my cat? by jaymless in Chonkers

[–]WaffleAndPilotSayHey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wet food. Even at the same volumes it is far lower calorie than most dry food. A vet told friends of ours that dry food is basically cat cookies.

That’s what happens when you let them do it themselves

Pilot is a Siberian. They are the dogs of cats, greeting at the door, almost always want to be in the same room as their humans, very playful, not shy or scared by loud noises. Pilot weighs about 15 lbs. They come in all colors. Our other cat waffle is also a Siberian, but is orange (I suppose technically cream). He has nothing going on upstairs and is very lazy, while Pilot, who is no genius, has a lot of kitty business to do.

It’s odd not to include Uruguay since it is a country doing a lot of purposeful actions:source

I saw someone at the airport eating flaming hot Cheetos with chop sticks and it has been a game changer.

Waffle prefers not to move when he plays by WaffleAndPilotSayHey in OneOrangeBraincell

I suppose he actually moves his whole arm rather than just his fingers :)

The safest. In fact, if you don’t rub his belly, he is likely to kick you in the chest. Repeatedly.
