Yup.

No, you’re thinking Starfox. Def Starfox.

I hate to do this, but I feel like Taiwan(numba 1) is doing this better than China(numba 4).

The Taiwan government is literally giving money to have kids. The more kids you have, the more monthly cash they give you. I think our president said something along the lines of “it’s up to our country to take care of all children of Taiwan”. I’m paraphrasing.

Not just cash, we also have infrastructure setup. Most malls, government buildings and public places have breastfeeding rooms. There is almost always a bathroom designated for people with children. There are even bathrooms set up with small tiny toilets. There is a designated area for kids to sit on the train. There are designated elevators for kids.

Plus healthcare is free/cheap so that helps.

If China wants more babies, it needs to start giving the people things that promote having kids. Unless you force them to have kids… I guess because you can. Fuck the CCP.

Wait, is this the ship from Firefly?

All the 3D printer software, Z is vertical. But I only used a couple so I am not an expert.

Isn’t the Z axis vertical?

Wired + Mesh Wifi is the best combo. House not wired? Try powerline Ethernet. It does degrade the more you have so I only have it for my computer and PS5.

Which part? Maybe I’ll visit there next time.

Also, I’m coming from Taiwan which is very VERY friendly to kids and families. So I guess I was expecting a similar experience.

Google definitely has better face recognition. You can pick up a QNAP and put a Google coral and essentially do the same thing.

I also run a 3rd party software that does the tagging. But it’s annoying to do each time.

This is my setup using the 3, 2, 1 rule:

3: Raid 5 setup with 2 unused drives and setup to automatically spool up and recover if one of the drives starts failing. 2: off-site at the father in laws house (using a Xpenology super tiny PC and an external drive) 1: Monthly Backblaze

While there is risk, it’s def safer if not safer than Google drive.

I will get downvoted for this but a Synology Nas is simple and does 90% of what google will do. They also have their own DDNS or you can use whatever you like.

Downside is tou have to buy their hardware. Unless you do the Xpenology route.

Don’t get me wrong Mario land was great. But just weird shit drove us mad even inside a family friendly place like Universal Studios.

We had a friend with us that had a 3 year old girl with them. The airline lost their stroller(this was an major ordeal, nobody spoke English at the airports there)so they decided to rent from Universal Studio instead.

First of all, the person who was attending the stroller section didn’t speak a lick of English. Fine. Whatever. We used Google translate. He asked us how old the girl was and I said 3 years old.

The next question was
"Is it her birthday? "…

Us: ummmm, no. That was a month ago.

They immediately said: "No rent to you. "

Wtf dude. Why?!?! Because the rules are 3 years old or younger. That means less than 36 months, not less than 48 months.

Just random shit like that seems the norm for the Japanese.

Visited Japan(Osaka) recently with my 5 year old son. While there is infrastructure setup for people with kids such as stroller only elevators, kids/elder section on the train, nobody, I mean, nobody followed the rules. Regularly the stroller only elevators were full and nobody got out. Or able body adults didn’t even glance up to let my sleepy child sit in the kids designated seats.

There were glares at us when my son was having a hard time, almost like we were inconveniencing them.

In my week-long experience there, people in general are not tolerated for children. No wonder nobody wants kids. I wouldn’t want to if I was treated that way.

That’s true.

How? Teslas that are sold in China are made in China. BYD sold in the UK are made in China.

Thanks for the clarification.

Also an acceptable name.

I don’t know. I did a reverse image search and didn’t come up with it except for the meme. It would be a lot of work to find a partial of Biden s face like that

The only way it will be unified is when it’s called Mainland Taiwan.

Ahh yes. On the same trip we went to see the Sistine chapel and those security did the same thing to us. We weren’t even next to the security guys but wow. Dude was annoyingly loud. Even the people trying to pray was looking up annoyed at the security guard.

Also unless you’re doing an extremely long exposure, you ain’t getting any photos in there.
