How come people get mad at the Chinese Government for assisting in building their industries, rather than getting mad at their own Governments for NOT assisting in building theirs?

Well, thats one positive anecdote.

Here's some negatives:

I dunno, I feel like that's a bit of a cop out. There's more flaws than just the story being a bit off.

The fan produced episode was legitimately better in terms of bringing the world to life in my opinion... And it had a budget of about $8. Amazon should have just given these dudes the money.

Actuallly you know what? Let the Amazon one be another turning of the wheel and give these dudes money to do another one. I'd watch it again. I've read the series a dozen times over.

Everyone I know with a Samsung appliance has had a poor experience with it.

Why are they still popular? Why are people still buying them? Every product review gives major faults too (like catching fire!) and people are like "8/10 because I managed to put it out before by house burnt down".

Meanwhile other brands are crucified for the finish song being too loud, or the door feeling plastic, or some other inane reasoning.

As a book reader, it sucks. They did Mat dirty, and they completely ballsed up... well pretty much everything.

As a stand alone series, it's probably not too bad.

I love how Whirlpool has stuck to it's guns with regards to staying text only.

It survived a world of phpbb, avatars, and animated GIFS and is now surviving a world of social media and "engagement". It's like Usenet with moderation and no binaries.

Helps that it's fast as blazes too.

TIL that expecting a tiny slither of effort from participants is "elitist"

I just checked on Linux (Thunderbird 128.5.2esr, Opensuse Tumbleweed) and the behaviour is the same.

If I search “PMASUP236”, it returns the email as a result.
If I search “SUP236” it does not.

This is using the normal search function (top of screen in current version). Quick Filter does not look at attachments at all by the looks. The "Attachments" toggle is only a has / does not have attachment filter.

Yes but I can’t search by the name of the attachment.

I just searched for text thats in an attachment filename and it worked - with a caveat. I have a filename called "PMASUP236 - Operate Vehicles In The Field.pdf" on an email. There is no reference to the PMASUP236 in any other part of any email.

If I search "PMASUP236", it returns the email as a result.
If I search "SUP236" it does not.
If I search "Operate Vehicles" it returns that email (along with a heap of others containing the word "Operate" and "Vehicles" in any order).

Admittedly this is on Windows at work, though I do run Thunderbird on Linux at home. Will have to try it there to confirm.

Dunno man, but if you find out let me know cause every time I see this bad boy I'm giggling like a schoolgirl no matter the situation

So why aren't other governments doing something similar?

Our government (Australia) basically told the last couple of brands that manufactured locally to piss off. So they did. So now we have literally zero local manufacturers.
