The international Pan-Pacific coolie trade from GuangDong Province was
comparable to that of the African Slave trade to which the coolie system had replaced as our mistreated and desperate ancestors, victims of the the coolie trade, were escaping starvation due to the destruction of their productive agricultural lands (in the western regions of the Pearl River Delta) caused by a
Christian Holy War launched against them by
Christian Hakkas.

The millions and millions of crabs.
The painted aluminum sheet metallic for licence plate is of 1050, 1060, 1070, 1100, 3003, 5005 or
5052 alloy. Customers normally select an alloy based at the hardness, tensile electricity, corrosion resistance and service existence they need. Aluminium steel has one of these right forming belongings that it is able to be made into licence plates of various shapes, designs and colorings. Some are stamped with concave and convex styles of unique nearby symbols. The metallic, mild and skinny, turns up with diverse appearances in motors around the arena.
Thanks to the hardness and mechanical houses required, a painted aluminum sheet steel of one alloy can be processed into various tempers, consisting of O, H12, H14, H16, H22, H24, H32, H34, H36, H42, H44, H46 and many others. O stands for the softest state of an alloy, H*2 a bit more difficult, H*4 even tougher, and H*6 the hardest. Especially, the h4* is carried out handiest to aluminium alloy merchandise to be painted. The “4” right here manner the technique of shade coating. Thus theoretically all painted aluminium sheets for licence plates can handiest be of H4* tempers, however other tempers for non-painted sheets are normally applied by human beings habitually within the enterprise. The thickness of the sheet impacts the mechanical residences of licence plates, too. Everyday thickness of licence aluminium plates range from 0.8mm to 2.0mm. Underneath the condition that other specs are the same, the thicker an aluminum sheet is, the harder it'd be.
The licence plate pre-painted aluminum steel may be of either plate or coil kind, with a maximum width of 1800mm and duration up to 9500mm (sheet). PE and PVDF paints of numerous colors are to be had. You can send a pattern coloration or name a RAL shade. We've got regular coating layers and thicknesses for painted aluminium sheet steel for licence plates, however custom designed coating standards are applicable, too.
The Cantonese.sheik discussion forum became political when the censors like Cyrus Chiu were deleting posts as if he was a member of the CCP. Censorship is an accepted practice by Asians born in the East but not acceptable by Asians born in the West and many of the forumites at the time before this forum went dead are from the West have no tolerance for censorship and they were frightened away from this forum because of censorship as if we are in Communist China. Cyrus started censoring people's freedom of speech and his censorship along with Adam's censorship is why participants on this forum disappeared and
once the forum went dead it then went political to test the bounds of censorship which goes against western values.
I would like to remind the audience that,
this forum did not go political until after it went dead because posts were being deleted. Cyrus did not contribute much to Cantonese culture because he is actually Teochew, but he contributed tremendously to Cantonese vocabulary. Most Christian Cantonese speakers don't have much Cantonese culture to offer the world however to blame the death of this forum because it went political is a farce. Preserving Cantonese culture is a political act given the current state of affairs happening in China with cultural genocide and to not be political about that is being complicit and I must say Christian missionaries have long been erasing Cantonese culture way before the CCP by over a hundred years and no one has called them out on that.
Once upon a time CantoDict was the only online game in town. I believe Cyrus Chiu was one of the decision makers making a bad decision not to license CantoDict to the emerging online dictionary competition which made CantoDict no longer the only online game in town. Who is the blame for that? The politics posted to this forum or greed as defined by the Bible???
As much as I respect Cyrus Chiu and I think he is one of the torch bearers for preserving Cantonese language (but not Cantonese culture), I am calling out and putting into perspective his blame and complicity on the decline of CantoDict on his Reddit post:

CantoDict has been on the decline since 2018 when its Cantonese Discussion forum became far too political in its contents. Several long-time members left CantoDict to set up a new CantoPlus project in May that year ( www.cantoneseplus.com ) in order to carry on with the updating job of CantoDict. Up to this moment, CantoPlus has done a great done in its updating work if any user would care to check one against the other.
