You can get a whole bunch of Japan only or JDM items on Yahoo Japan via intermediaries (Buyer, ZenMarket, etc). But the purchasing process can be confusing at times and you are relying on Google translate as Yahoo.jp isn't designed as an international facing marketplace.

Miyoo is $80-90 AUD ($50ish USD) on Choice deal at the moment and is the best quality one (can play up to PS1 games). Is pretty much a portable RetroPi that can be loaded with ROMs easily. There are numerous models less than that though with a fair few at the $15 AUD mark, but with lower grade hardware and thus only emulate early Nintendo/SEGA and can only play the preloaded games.

Haha, and you know that Amazon seller is either the same AliX seller or some idiot who bought a book on how drop shipping can make them millions.

AliX can be amazing quality sometimes but like Yahoo Japan you need your hand held at bit. I use AliX for watches and watch parts, but use reputable Youtubers to crossref the stores and parts. I also don't buy from stores that have no photos in reviews etc. It can take me an hour or two to find the right store for a $2 part, but I know that in 2 weeks I'll have the correct part etc rather than junk. I haven't tried them for electronics, but those retro Gameboy emulators are tempting.

I've seen the same item (same pictures etc) on Alibaba, AliExpress and Amazon, each time with a 100-200% markup. It's insane how the exact same item is $10 shipped from AliX but $30 on Amazon. Obviously the greater trust in Amazon vs AliX allows for greater markup when selling on that platform.

Similarly, basic 4-cylinder engines will always be easier to diagnose and repair than the highly complicated CVT engines in all the new automatic cars.

CVT is just the transmission, it has no bearing on the engine design. OEMs use the same engine with both MT and CVT.

This is a common issue in physics. If I am not mistaken there is a site dedicated to answering amateur-physicist questions, askthephysicist dot com.

You've perhaps conflated two opposing diagnostic approaches. The extant approach in most Western countries is to use the Diagnostic and Statistic Manual (DSM), which provides categorical guidelines for diagnosis of mental health disorders based on symptom clusters. Although not a contender or replacement for the DSM, a new approach that considers more factors has been developed by the US National Institute of Mental Health. This new approach is referred to as the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) and it proposes basing diagnoses on both clinical observations AND objective neuroscientific methods. Part of the RDoC approach is to view disorders as reflecting multiple traits on a continuum (i.e. spectrum). It's hoped this newer approach can improve care outcomes for disorders where symptom presentation varies greatly between individuals (i.e., schizophrenia) or genders (i.e., ASD).

This happened when car companies brought out fingerprint car alarms. Thieves would just cut your finger off and steal your car.

I find DuckDuckGo for Android is a decent option, albeit chromium based.

That game hits hard.

Enjoy. Two of the most beautiful games to exist, although weird Owl obsession from creator.

I loved SD when it came out, think I have played it through 3 times now. I have all of Yakuza but just can't get into it to the same extent, only managed to finish Zero so far.
