The livestream drew significant social media attention on May 23, with users circulating screenshots showing verified pages, including the DDC's page, appearing as viewers. This prompted criticism and sarcastic comments directed at the department&#x2019;s page administrator.  Get today's headlines by email   The page administrator explained that the livestream link was sent to their inbox by a concerned user asking for content review, fearing it was inappropriate for children. After confirming the content was indeed unsuitable, the administrator exited the stream and reported it to Facebook. As criticism grew, the DDC issued an official statement on May 24, reinforcing that the administrator only accessed the livestream briefly for verification.  The DDC's statement noted the administrator was engaged in other public health work when they received the notification. The department stressed this action was to confirm and report inappropriate content and assured the public it wasn't watched beyond this purpose. Plans to enhance social media account management procedures were announced to avoid future incidents.  Cyber police are investigating the account responsible for the explicit livestream.

Forcing a first-time EV owner to chill out for a month definitely saves a few bumper covers and lets loose factory bolts rattle loose at 30 km/h instead of 120 km/h. But calling the actual engineering side 'nonsense' just because you can't see the pistons? That&#x2019;s pure Luddite logic. Go look at any teardown of a Tesla, BYD, or Porsche EV drive unit. They don't have magic infinitely smooth gears. They use high-ratio single-speed reduction gearboxes spinning up to 16,000 RPM. Those gear teeth are steel. They mate under immense pressure. They have microscopic imperfections (asperities) from the factory that undergo a process called 'micro-shaving' during the first 1,000 km. If you dump 500+ Nm of instant electric torque into them on day one, you risk micro-chipping the teeth, which is exactly how you get that permanent, annoying 'drivetrain whine' later in life. It&#x2019;s the same reason high-end aftermarket differential companies (like Eaton or Yukon) mandate a strict 500-mile break-in for their gears. Steel is steel, whether it's turned by an engine or an electric motor. As for the battery, the factory does the initial formatting, but chemical stabilization and SEI layer uniformity continuously settle over the first few heat cycles. Preventing thermal spikes from max-power launches early on is just basic electrochemistry. So yeah, BYD definitely wants to save money on warranty claims and accidents. But they do that by protecting the hardware, not just by treating the drivers like children. Grab a wrench sometime, it's pretty cool technology! &#x2699;&#xFE0F;&#x26A1;"   BTW - that 'gear whine' becomes audible usually right after the warranty expires, not before.</description><pubDate>Mon, 25 May 2026 09:28:14 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What Did You Have For Lunch</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394745-what-did-you-have-for-lunch/?do=findComment&comment=20522509]]></link><description>You should definitely try fasting sometime. Absolutely. Some people do a one day fast, once a week. A three day fast is enough for a beginner.  At first your body will go nuts, but that's just the sugar addiction kicking in.  Break the fast with something like bone broth soup.  And yes, the gut microbiome is very important. It's responsible for something like 80% of the immune system. Probiotics, prebiotics, fermented foods, Kimchi, Greek Yogurt, Tumeric and so on.  All of that is good and very much necessary to feed the microbes in your gut.  It's a symbiotic relationship.   Remember this about carbs: as far as your metabolism is concerned, those are just another form of sugar.   And don't forget the electrolytes. Deplete those and you can get dizzy and pass out.</description><pubDate>Mon, 25 May 2026 09:27:40 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>SEMIOTICS: Is semiotics now getting you down?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395272-semiotics-is-semiotics-now-getting-you-down/?do=findComment&comment=20522508]]></link><description>I always look up the complete manual on the 'net or a YouTube video if I'm desperate.
