When I went thru immigration, I made small talk about what my college’s Football team was up to that year. I HATED football. But my roomie was a fan and he always gave me a tl;dr I could recite in under a minute.
Holy hell I was always the fastest Asian guy thru foreign immigration at LAX.
Pretty soon the word SLAM is mean “to gently prod in a meek and inconsequential manner”
Me and my roommate in college come from Southeast Asia. I’m of Chinese descent with lighter skin and he is darker skinned, more indicative of Southeast Asian natives ie Indonesia, Thailand, Phillipines.
We went to college in Texas. While he was out with a bunch of our fellow countrymen, they got stopped because the cops thought they were “behaving suspicious” while driving. But quite obviously it’s because they looked Mexican. While waiting for one cop to search the vehicle, my friend put his hands in his pockets, and the cops immediately had their hands on their pistol holsters. HANDS WHERE WE CAN SEE THEM.
This was before 9/11. We both moved back home and found work here. Being a damn good engineer, he was given a contract job in Texas for a couple years, in the 2010s. He was asked by his bosses if he wanted to stay on for good, but he turned it down. Without elaborating, he told me, THINGS HAD GOTTEN WORSE.
As for me? Nothing much, just was called a COMMIE and asked where my little red book was. I think now they would shoot me.
Grayjay by futo just released a desktop app.
The purpose is allergies and a night’s sleep without coughing and sneezing. If you don’t have sinus problems before, you may develop them later in life from excessive exposure to dirt and dust.
It’s not that the icons are tiny, rather people driving usually operate by touch because their eyes need to be on the road.
Rich people. The cost is rich people.
That’s a very cromulent thing to say.
God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.
Nothingers! Do we get a secret handshake? A mid range phone, that doesnt feel like a mid range phone. My previous phone was Oneplus 6. Nothing 2a feels like how Oneplus 6 felt right at the beginning, at 30% lower a price. I’m loving the face down light only notifications, and the gesture navigation. Gestures means i can use my one thumb to scroll back and forth easily.
Things always change in the world. Case in point being Lemmy and Federation. Whatever comes after uBO will never be like the same old thing, but we just keep on going forward and fondly remember the nice things we used to have, thanking those that worked tirelessly so we could enjoy those nice things.
Indeed I’m using ubo full on my nothing 2a, and it feels like nothing at all.
It would seem that the ubo lite version was made specifically to cater to chrome and manifest v3 if I’m not mistaken…
In the end the author may have just felt it was too much energy keeping a pared down chrome version on Firefox when the full version is present and working. Especially after this particular drama.
Haha. I would not be surprised if this is truly the case. However I do not believe that it’s as simple as just straight up asking for money.
In his native state of Johor, there was a mega project called Forest City built by China developers that was effectively halted by then Prime Minister Mahathir in 2018. This PM has famously been known to have bad blood with the Johor royal family. My guess is this visit is also to discuss revitalizing this project, allowing China to recoup some of that lost investment.
Traveling with him are both the Minister of Transport and the Minister of Housing, lending some merit to this rumour.
Speaking of evidence, the latest UN report I could find was in August 2022. Direct accounts of 40 individuals from an alleged 1.3 million detained.
I do wish to see a follow up report
Making your own soup is the epitome of good eats. 1 hour on a stove, blend, and keep in the fridge for up to a week.
Figuring out the ingredients can be a pain, but once you figure that out, you will never touch a can of soup save for certain outdoors wilderness situations.
Isn’t there a danger of someone shorting data to voltage by inserting this thing wrongly?
What I’m seeing is that China’s subsidies create cheaper products that benefit consumers, be it Chinese or the world at large.
Meanwhile American subsidies to American companies benefit their CEOs who then cut themselves an obscenely fat bonus, and fire half their downline staff.
I’m not so sure about food, but for many mass market products it is indeed true that the same manufacturer can be engaged to make the same product under different branding. The difference then comes down to the corners cut to meet the client’s pricing. Crappier boxes, thinner bags, packing material, and quality inspection. Assuming the core ingredients are not compromised in some way.
Quote from Madison: I purposefully cut my leg open so badly I would have to go to the ER to get it stapled back together. It was genuinely the only way in my mind to take a day off without being harassed for a reason why.
I think I would leave a crappy job way earlier than even considering commiting self harm.
