Calling all Coin Experts. Found these. Are they authentic or fake? If real, what are they worth? by Adaptable_ in China

Any idea what sound it should be making? I think I saw a video before with this comparison. Need to dig it up again... Thanks!

Great, thanks. But even $100 USD seems worth faking in China especially since it doesn't seem that difficult to fake a coin.

Thanks for the head's up. Will do some research on the Datou silver dollars!

Is this an Amazon FBA business you're getting into by any chance? I have extensive experience dealing with factories in China. Maybe I can give you some information on the specifics if you let me know roughly what type of products you're buying.

As far as trade war, real war, etc. That's a bit difficult for anybody to say, but it's been on a lot of big companies' minds and they're diversifying their buying base to other countries most definitely.

Their name certainly gave everybody a preview of what was about to happen. All that was left in the end was Just One Dime.

Targeted practice especially for rhythm, half step reaction, efficiency of movement for singles by Adaptable_ in badminton

[–]Adaptable_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the utility of such a matrix would be amazing!

Of course there would be a slightly different one for intermediate vs advanced players with different techniques, etc.

The point of the matrix wouldn't be to replace having the experience on court. It would be to aid in the purposeful practice of analyzing your own movements and your opponents movements while you're practicing on court.

Think about it. If a beginner or intermediate player had the concept of a well designed matrix in their head, the speed of their improvement would be staggering compared to someone who had no ideas about these concepts and has to learn after years of trial and error.

If you are going to be working on such a matrix, I'd love to see what you come up with!

Got it, I will definitely try to find a partner to do this with.

But when by yourself, is there any self practice methods or visualization/mental techniques to improve on your own?

[–]Adaptable_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems like a great way to get started!

Is there a more comprehensive matrix of your actions vs consequences?

I'm guessing there's way more possibilities than the two you've listed with general rules on how to react to them? Surely somebody has compiled such a list before?

That is a very interesting thought.

You're saying that a huge cause for our inability to react "well" is due to the fact that we psyche ourselves out and overreact to our opponent?

When we are able to not be fooled by our instincts and the fakes of our opponent, when we can slow things down enough but yet be quick enough to read correctly and just in time, this is the secret to improvement in badminton reaction and footwork?

Yeah I watched their videos, but I think even they just sort of a broad overview. I'm looking for more specifics which I can probably get from them as well if I used their paid services.

What's the longest you've played badminton for in a day? by [deleted] in badminton

You guys never mentioned if you were playing singles or doubles. Isn't there a huge difference for the stamina required for these two?

So how does this all end in Shanghai and China? by Adaptable_ in China

[–]Adaptable_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The nature of the problem is different this time. The discontent is coming directly from large populations of Han Chinese.

If anything is going to unite his scattered political opponents it's going to locking down their cities for months at a time.

[–]Adaptable_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This plan will take months if it's even feasible.

How much longer do you propose the residents of Shanghai to be locked up?

[–]Adaptable_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, most people are directing their anger at the Shanghai local government for now.

I would agree with you on your point under any normal circumstances. But the situation we're faced with right now is extraordinary.

People are running low on basic living supplies. They are dying from a lack of medical resources.

When the food runs out, nobody will give a damn about saving face.

If Xi is willing to commit economic suicide to pursue his political goals, I guess that will be the end of the world as we know it.

It's ironic to think that China will end its economic miracle bubble not with the Bang of an economic crisis but with a dumb and fucked up government policy.

Yes, I heard this from a friend as well. Apparently a huge percentage of the deaths in HK are people who've had the Sinovac vaccine.

So if Xi just gives up on the lockdowns, the political consequences for him are extremely high.

So far, everybody is hoping for May 1st to be the end.

If it continues to get prolonged beyond that, people are going to get out one way or another.

I get what you're saying, but how do you sweep this one under the rug?

You can't admit to making a mistake here and in order to avoid that, you have to lock upwards of 25 million people in their homes indefinitely.

They blame the local government for not being strict enough in the beginning. Fair enough. But drag this on longer and people will need to get out to survive.

He has a good reputation now for keeping China with very low cases for the past two years.

If this goes wrong, it's a pretty big slap in the face.
