    Plug to Plug is used for a very specific, very dangerous purpose. You can use it to plug a generator into a wall socket to re-energize your house's grid and get power to the other sockets. This is dangerous if you don't know what you're doing, and the ex[psed male end with power in it will...

    Bear in mind what I posted was extremely simplified, there's a lot more to it. Curved roofs and upturned eaves are very characteristic of Chines architecture, used to increase the roof's surface area and thus let it slough off more water in a monsoon. Doubled eaves were present for the same...

    I'm not 100% sure what you're asking for but taking it from what I think you want: Chinese Architecture is bilaterally symmetrical, they don't like asymmetric buildings. Chinese Architecture tends towards open, horizontal structures and doesn't like building up compared with Western designs...

    Don't know for a certainty, but generally speaking when something that hasn't been a problem for a while suddenly becomes a major issue in the US, it's because they want to distract away from something else so they either want to throw up an alternate press headline or bundle something that...

    The actual claim is being dramatically overstated. https://www.businessinsider.com/nasa-bill-nelson-warns-china-claim-moon-territory-lunar-resources-2023-1?op=1 A NASA official said that based on how China claims the entire South China Sea and aggressively invades any area with resources, if...

    That doesn't make any sense. It's a balloon, it's going to move wherever the wind blows it, you're not going to gain any secret information from what direction it travels. If you're jamming it, it's not receiving any instructions so even if it does have some limited ability for self-direction...

    Can you elaborate on what you mean here a bit? I mean, I don't want to strawman and I try to give you the benefit of the doubt, but this doesn't seem reasonable. We're not concealing that we were able to see the balloon, obviously. Otherwise, it wouldn't be all over the news, so that bit of...

    It's not really about hate, and it's not really about gratitude. It's about pulling up the ladder behind themselves. The place gave them everything. But now that they have everything, the opportunity for somebody else to also get everything exists, and they want to stay on top. Much in the...

    It appears China's attempting to contain the news via pornbots, specifically they're spamming massive amounts of singles ads, porn, gambling, and the like in such quantity it's drowning out all legitimate searches to keep people from finding out what's going in major cities.

    I've said it before, Authoritarians do not tolerate anyone but themselves to have any authority or power. They will always crack down on religion when they feel they can get away with it because religion inherently speaks with authority and power.

    I would surmise that it's since the US made it literally illegal to import anything manufactured in part or whole in Xinjiang due to being made via slave labor. This means the province is no longer making them money since they can't export those high-profit slave-labor manufactured goodies.

    Eventually can be a long time, especially when the Ugandan President keeps accidentally shooting himself in the back of the head each time he starts thinking that way and a new, Chinese-Friendly candidate gets a huge campaign contribution from unknown donors.

    It's important to note there's a flaw to this kind of thinking, "The US" never does anything, nor has "China" ever done anything. Decisions and actions are taken by the people in charge of the countries, not the countries themselves, and those people sometimes choose to take actions that are...

    Yes, we've advanced well past pigeon-guided missiles and today the US military may have seagull, even crow-guided missiles which are far more intelligent than pigeons.
