I am a total simp for musician Alina Gingertail.
I noticed her nails seemed to color shift. I got curious.
I wonder if cars use the same tech.

...That's a nail polish with shiny magnetic particles which create a "cat's eye" effect reflecting light only under certain angles. When nail polish is still wet you can adjust their placement using magnets and then you cure the polish to dry it and shiny particles stay like you adjusted them. Watch this video ...

Chinese love wavng this bloody shirt. I recall the bombing was an accident.

Was it??

I would guess so. US said they bombed the building but said their map was wrong. Said they did not know the embassy was there.
I cannot see any advantage to US bombing the Chinese embassy.
The ADVChina guys said that the Chinese govt would run anti Japanese WWII movies to pull people together.
The Japs were cartoonish and very evil.
I think they milk the embassy bombing for all it is worth.

US SEC DEF tap dances in front of congress at 6 min in. House then senate.
He did not answer any of the questions.

1/2 This is how civilization ends.

"Due to the dwindling supply of quality machine shops and very poor quality aftermarket parts as well as a lack of people interested in learning the engine building and machine shop trades, I regret to inform our many followers and current as well as past customers that we will no longer be taking on any new engine build orders unless it is for a car we are restoring.  Since Covid, we have had to do rework on multiple engine builds due to poorly manufactured parts that failed during break in or machine work that was below our standards due to all the old farts like me dying off with no younger workers interested in taking their place.
...

I was half asleep. I may summarize later.
