You should sort movies and shows by ratings like PG 13 will go in a row and TV MA there.

There shouldn’t be max accounts I hate sharing a Netflix account with my brother everyone should have a Netflix account on there own. There should be a feature where you have to enter your account with a password so many people are entering my account and deleting my favorite shows and watching other shows I do not like. if i cant use it so netflix i use with caution ( which is never these day loved it while it lasted. wrong ! i am now having to log out, changed password cant tell you how many time only to find two to four people logged into my account my account i logged them out but they have a way of getting right back on they have been able to use the save button to their advantage every time i type a letter or symbol the save button activates and saves what im typing there is no way to keep them out so i just spend my time trying to keep them logged out bottom line ive tried tech support no help still i try to save my account WHY. I thought it was great that i got this subscription from tmobile for the life of my account which is not going to be as long as i intended hackers from my neighborhood have taken over this account i can hardly watch or play a game thru them i just deleted the game i had (kittens ) through them i have no game from them or any other source i enjoyed the game but it increasingly became harder to play with ten other people playing and downloading it from my account at first i tried deleting it and when i downloaded again it came with everything still there same level checked my settings on phone i was set to delete after some time i decided i liked the game so i got it back still everything was still there well all that has ended now i deleted the game so no activity right. Hacker in my neighborhood taking over my netflix Thats it hopefully you act on some of these I know its kinda long sorry about that but overall good app. Lastly, can you please review your ratings more because its really annoying when there’s nothing that bad about the show but its still TV-MA because theres somebody cutting their hand to get an infection out that somehow qualifies as self harm. but there can be like swearing and limited gore. Like there would be no nudity or extreme violence, or kids stuff like cocomelon or stuff like what I said in request 3. Like how the kid profiles are but for teens. Also kinda an add-on to my first request but can you make a teen profile. Which brings me to my next request, can you please take away all the bad elementary school shows that make me want to pull my hair out (my sister and my mom make me watch them i would never watch willingly) like kid danger, and teen love story's that basically all go the same way like the kissing booth or tall girl. Like most of the good shows that me and a lot of other people like got canceled, whereas these completely dumb shows got like 12 seasons or a sequel. Second, CAN YOU PLEASE STOP CANCELING SHOWS. CAN YOU PLEASE ADD A TEEN SECTION, its so hard to find anything good that isn’t rated TV-MA because my parents wont let me watch anything thats TV-MA.

![]() ![]() It has been claimed that this form of art was originally known as ‘oritaka’, which means ‘folded shapes’. Sometimes, one specific monk by the name of Dokyo is said to have brought this art to the archipelago. This art was introduced to the Japanese by Buddhist monks. ( CC BY SA 3.0 ) From Oritaka to Origamiįrom China, it has been suggested that the art of paper folding travelled to Japan. ![]() It has been speculated that this tradition dates to the Song Dynasty, and is still practiced by the Chinese even today.Īn example of a Chinese paper fold yuan bao ( Public Domain ) and folded paper gold nuggets being burned with imitation paper money at ancestors' graves around the time of the Ghost Festival. These folded papers are often burned during funerals, as they are believed to have served as currency for the deceased during his / her journey in the Underworld. Pieces of paper are folded to look like gold nuggets, and are known in Chinese as 元宝 (pronounced as ‘yuan bao’). One of the ways that paper folding was, and still is, used in Chinese society is for ceremonial purposes. The Beautiful and Complex Artisanship of Glass-making in the Ancient World.From Magic to Science: The Intriguing Ritual and Powerful Work of Alchemy.The Takenouchi Manuscripts and the Story of Humanity Never Told.It follows that paper folding was invented shortly after this. The invention of paper is traditionally attributed to Cai Lun, a Chinese eunuch and official who lived during the Han Dynasty. One argument supporting the claim that paper folding is a Chinese invention is that the material required for this art, paper, was invented by the Chinese. Today, this form of art is known as 折纸 (pronounced as ‘zhe zhi’), a term which may be literally translated as ‘folding paper’. Gold Nuggets of Chinese Paper FoldingĪccording to one speculation, it was the Chinese who invented the art of paper folding. Still, the history of paper folding is murky, and at present, there is no consensus as to how this art form began and developed over time. Some have even speculated that the Chinese (whose civilization has commonly been attributed with the invention of paper) were responsible for introducing the art of paper folding into Japan. What is perhaps less well-known is that as an art, paper folding was also developed in China, Korea, and even Europe. Indeed, Japanese origami is arguably the most well-known type of paper folding today. Paper folding is a form of art that most people today associate with Japan. ![]() ![]() ![]() The RadCity - which as of this writing is in its fourth edition - is a pretty great all-around e-bike. Standout Rad Power BikesĬurrently, Rad Power offers seven models, several of which are available in step-thru versions. They’re particularly good options for families who can benefit from the diverse models offered and general ease of use. In any case, overall both the bikes and the shops are pretty impressive. But does Rad forecast the potential for more service than unusual? Or is it just part of the company’s ecosystem? Maybe we’ll update this article in a year or so and you can find out. ![]() E-bikes are admittedly pretty techy, and from what I’ve seen pretty much every e-bike will need maintenance at some point. That adds cohesion to the ownership experience that is hard not to appreciate.Īt the same time, the skeptic in me does wonder if the omnipresence of service centers means the bikes are expected to require service on an overly regular basis. For example, while my bike came from the shop in Seattle, I brought it to the Vancouver location when I needed brake service. I’m a big fan of how sleek the shops are, and how you can replicate your experience from one location to the next. It has a somewhat more family-oriented atmosphere than that of a VanMoof shop - VanMoof leans more toward techy professionals. As I mentioned above, the shops have a car dealership vibe that not only makes for an enjoyable shopping experience, but it also makes the service process easy. One of the major draws to Rad Power is the wider e-bike ecosystem. Other than that, I have no complaints about their quality and ridability. And if you expect to carry one up and down a flight of apartment stairs on a regular basis, forget it. All the models I’ve tried have been extremely heavy - heavier than any other brand I’ve come across - which makes it difficult to load them onto a transportation rack. The only issue I have with them is their weight. And they’re comfortable enough for long rides. Their range and speed are impressive, rivaling anything I’ve seen. Unlike other e-bikes in the more affordable segment (unless you go crazy with options, Rad bikes top out at under $2,500), its components never feel flimsy and the build quality is solid. This is very common in the bicycle Industry because top brands like Giant & Trek bikes are also manufactured in China.From my experience, Rad’s bikes offer a smooth, fun riding experience. Yes! Rad Power bikes are manufactured in China but designed in the USA and world-class premium quality components are used in Rad Power bikes. Therefore this test includes the electric circuit, control & symbols, battery, charger, motor, wiring, temperature control, mechanical strength, power management, battery management system, emission, braking system, brake levers, pedal performance, sensors, heat resistance test, handlebar strength, frame, tires, suspension and rest of the components.Electrically power-assisted bicycles (PAB) are included in this European Standard to prevent all common dangers and events associated with them when used or misused intentionally by anyone.Here is what EN15194 (2017) certification includes: But very soon Rad Power is going to get their ebikes certified with UL2849 too. The main difference is that their ebikes are certified in Europe. However, the brand claims that their all ebikes are certified with EN15194 which is almost similar to the UL standard. No! Rad Power Bikes are not certified with UL2849. These batteries are not checked by any authority and are installed in ebikes, they explode after a few usages.Īs an ebike user, you must check whether your ebike is certified with UL2849 to ensure your safety as well as others.

To ensure the safety of ebike users and residents the Consumer Product Safety Commission ( CPSC) has warned manufacturers, retailers, importers, and distributors of ebikes and micromobility devices to comply with established UL safety standards.

The addition of Funky Kong does not sully the experience, as the original mode is still intact (as well as a locked hard mode if you’re nasty). Funky Mode is the evolution of the Super Guide, which started with a Super Kong in Donkey Kong Country Returns, changed into an easier item-boosted mode in the remake, and has now taken the form of a different playable character in the Switch release. Bottomless pits are still unavoidable and Funky’s surfboard hover still requires skill to use effectively. The game is much easier, but it’s still not a cakewalk. Even still, while playing as Funky Kong gives you basically the best of all possible Kongs, this happening monkey is the kind of hand-holder who will just let your hand go sometimes. Death happens a lot and while it’s not to the painful levels of your Meat Boys and your Celestes, Tropical Freeze doesn’t hold your hand, until Funky Mode. Playing solo as Donkey Kong reminded me of how challenging this game is. It doesn’t follow the platformer tropes as much as other games and it helps to make this feel less planned and predetermined. I didn’t realize just how much the game kept changing and mutating as the worlds changed. In my overdue finished playthrough of Tropical Freeze, what stood out to me the most was the back half’s uniqueness. Levels are distinct and while themes carry over, the gameplay continuously tweaks and evolves. This is a world that makes sense, which is ultimately a small thing that helps embellish the greater whole. Everything in the levels is placed with care. The path back to home is packed with platforming challenges oozing with variety, whether it’s the vehicular minecart and rocket barrel stages or good old-fashioned precision jumping and rolling. I just wish the game didn't control so weirdly.The setup isn’t too different from past DKC games, as DK and his brethren are hanging out, this time celebrating a birthday, when all of a sudden some snow-loving viking animals freeze Donkey Kong Island and blow Donkey, Diddy, Dixie, and Cranky off to far-away lands. It's an otherwise very enjoyable and well made game. What's the consensus on the controls? Are we doing something wrong? Should we try to find a better controller? Do the Rock Candy Wiimotes make a big difference? What do you guys use to normally play? Sorry if we're just being extremely stupid or something, but I'm just not sure if it's the game or if it's us. ![]() Maybe we just totally suck with Wiimotes, I dunno. It's just the overall feel that's bothering us and certain levels are a bit hard to play due to these controls. I've seen people complain about little things like shaking to roll or blow, but those aren't even that big of a deal. Using a Wiimote is just very stiff and awkward for a DKC game. Because our experience with the controls hasn't been going well. ![]() Maybe it's our fault for not having other options, but I'm not sure if we're using the wrong controller, or if we just suck. Maybe the problem is that we're using a Rock Candy Wiimote? It's the only one we have.We also don't have one of those Classic Pro controllers or whatever, so we're sort of limited by our options. You can't exactly play the game with the Wii U gamepad, so you have to use a Wiimote. I'm not sure what the consensus on the controls is exactly, but I've definitely seen certain criticism thrown at some aspects of the controls, so I feel like I can't be the only one to have problems with this. Now the controls, on the other hand, are.not great. I'm not sure if it's better than the old ones as many people like to claim, but it definitely stands on its own as a good game. The game is a competent platformer for sure. The graphics are a bit dated now, but I imagine they were impressive for the Wii when the game came out. I can at least respect Retro for trying to come up with their own thing. The Tikis are a bit lame compared to the Kremlings, but oh well. The soundtrack may not live up to other games in the series, but I really like the various nostalgic remixes of DKC1 tracks and even the new tracks aren't bad. The presentation and art style is well done. I can definitely understand when people say this is a great game because it really is impressively well made. As a huge DKC fan, I felt like I owed it to myself to try out the new games made by Retro. Since we don't have a Wii, we've been playing it on our Wii U. I've been borrowing a copy of DKCR from a friend of mine for some time now and I've been doing a sort of "co-op" playthrough of the game with my younger brother. ![]() ![]() ![]() Follow these instructions to set up an AWS account for Student use with AWS Educate.

After such insane success, it’s understandable that Midway, Pac-Man’s North American distributor, was more than eager for Namco to deliver a follow-up as the calendar flipped into 1982.
