I remember reading a news story about how popular kei cars (compact cars) are in Japan.

It feels like these traffic laws and the local conditions really go hand in hand with that.

This gives me flashbacks to the last time I tried to replace the microswitches in my mouse...

After I finished, the right click felt like it was 'glued down' or 'stuck'...

I never heard the click sound again...

Yep, it was broken.

I've decided never to solder anything ever again...

But good luck to you!

Good work! I'm curious about how much token consumed to have this... Would it be a business secret?

And some shadowy departments do this without needing any laws at all.

Maybe some automation tool flagged the new account by mistake? I'm new here, too, just randomly guessing.
