In Japan, firefighting services are paid for directly by the people living in that area.
I typically have to pay ¥10,000 a year ($69 USD) and all of that money goes to the closest fire department.
They don’t check your payment status or anything, but it’s expected of you.
Whereas policing is paid for via taxes like most other countries.
Same thing they gained from invading Hong Kong, they think it belongs to them.
Or as one of my old friends told me while playing Final Fantasy 12; the only legitimate reason to wage war against another country - land.
Hong Kong is already part of the Chinese mainland and was already kinda part of China, but Taiwan is a geographically strategic location that puts both Koreas, the Philippines, & Japan in a tougher position. Even without war it would make trade and travel in the Pacific much harder.

HOW IS THIS LEGAL?!
But I’m disappointed at him for that choice as well.
Hope the kid was lying, because that’s a far bigger problem.
No, the big metal barrels are all being used by the hobos living under the elevated train lines in the city.
I loved the mystery of the original run of Pokemon. The campaign to catalog all the animals that fell into the new Pokemon classification has so much missing information and unexplainable details.

Did they ever identify the building? Is it still standing?
No, seriously, call in sick forever and contact the city.
It’s obviously Lore.

This is a combination theory/retreatment of the script I’ve been knocking around inside my head for a while.
Imagine if Episode II had been written as Anakin growing up to be a very reserved and indoctrinated Jedi. He’s very obedient, not emotional at all. But obi-wan feels like he’s holding back and not using the force or fighting with his full strength. Reuniting with Padme when they’re both older makes Anakin take notice of new feelings he had learned about but never experienced before.
Padme, on the other hand, becomes immediately enthralled. Not expecting that little boy to be such an attractive and talented Jedi.
SHE comes on to HIM.
He initially brushes it off, doesn’t reciprocate, but she keeps saying things and doing things to get his attention. He starts quoting Jedi Code to her and averting his gaze. When Anakin saves her life from the assassination attempt, it just strengthens her resolve.
Obi-wan is fixated on solving the mystery and doesn’t see this happening. He sends Anakin off with Padme to Naboo and Anakin tries to warn him that it’s a bad idea… Now Padme is laying it on thick. Anakin’s dialog on the transport where he argues that Jedi are encouraged to love is now Padme’’s attempt to deconstruct his rigid adherence to rules. That actually makes him stop and think. Now her come ons are starting to chip away at him.
The rest of the movie is watching Anakin give way to her enabling and they grow closer pretty much how it already happens. When they reunite with Obi-wan in the arena, he can see what’s happening between them. But he also sees that Anakin is now fighting with far more power and focus than ever before so he quietly decides to hold his tongue and see what how it pans out.

Apple makes photo realistic renders of all of its products to use for commercials and reveal trailers. They have for a long time now.
Everything Apple does, hardware and software, is visually realized in a computer first. They take those concepts and CAD drawings and polish them into fully realized CG models that they can do anything with.
Then you get footage of the new iPhone flying through a fountain of liquid metal with realistic collision and particle effects. It would be harder to film a real phone and composite CG into it in post.

The Coke when I remember it next week:
This is the same art style as the first Digimon movies, but it looks too risqué to be a Digimon movie, source?
Information I didn’t know I didn’t want to know.
That is a divorced chicken.
