They're a motor vehicle part that improves a car's emissions. They're on the underside of the car, as they are a part of its exhaust system. As other commenters have explained, they contain a lot of rare and expensive metals like platinum and palladium, making them quite valuable. As a result, there are many cases where people will go under parked cars and cut them off while the driver is away, then sell them to less scrupulous buyers for a quick buck. This, of course, fucks up the car, hence the post.

I had more luck with Norse Code

What is this in reference to?

I would recommend against simulplaying it. There's just too much text, you wouldn't be able to talk to each other and pay attention to the game. Maybe if you have one game up and take turns on who makes the decisions that'd work better.

Who is Jane Goodall?

I don't know I just named a random steel additive. I'm sure there's still some kind of graft explanation

Very real possibility that this all happened as some kind of pork barrel subsidy for the Vanadium industry or some shit

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the unrelenting cowardice of making videos to justify the often violent policing of literal children? Like, there are 8 and 9 year olds being dragged in front of judges, but Mr YouTuber is certain that there's nothing objectionable about this topic.

 

I feel like I'm pretty much only willing to try something if someone I know and respect recommends it to me. I'm always super unwilling to just randomly pick up a book or a movie or whatever on my own... I feel like ever since being vaguely into Marvel slop, I'm just so much more aware of how finite my time is and I have to know I'm going into something worth seeing and engaging with before I'll commit to even trying something. Does anyone else feel this way more? Is this just the process of me calcifying as I get older, or is it to do with how society is?

I guess we'll be going on this adventure together then.

I'm sorry to place you in the role of load-bearing anime advisor, but are any of the follow-ups to Space Battleship Yamato worth watching, or is the Iscandar arc best left on its own? I really enjoyed it, but modern times have made me wary of good media and franchises getting poisoned by slop.

 

Hey Hexbears! I'm running a Windows 10 machine, and I want to watch some relaxing videos for sleep on it. I don't want my computer to be on all night, and sleep/hibernate don't really work for my needs. I need a way to fully shut down the computer on idle, while watching media. Does anyone know the best way to do this? Before anyone suggests, no, I can't use Linux. My monitors and soundcard hate it and the problems are non-fixable.

Will I be missing anything critical from Space Runaway Ideon if I watch the compilation movie version, or would certain episodes be excluded? And if I did watch the full series, would I still need to watch A Contact?

 
 

Andy Newman is a real NYT journalist, but when I tried searching his latest posts on his page on the NYT website, I couldn't find this (even though other live contributions related to the story were showing up). Unsure if the post is fake, if it was real but deleted, if it just isn't showing up, or if I just can't see it without an NYT membership.

 

Currently, Martial Law has been in place for about 5 hours and President Yoon claims he intends to formally lift it once he convenes his cabinet. Bonus points if you get it down to the minute!

 
 
 

I heard Huawei's HarmonyOS is planning to drop support for Android compatibility and currently doesn't have a lot of native apps. What SDKs support it, and what tools do you need to test for it? I'm especially interested in whether any of the big game engines like Unity or GameMaker can be coaxed into working on Harmony. Please share any information you have!
