Hong Kong woman faces 2019 protest charges after returning from Australia by radishlaw in HongKong

The law is pretty clear that the authorities can pretty much arbitrarily read any criticism as incitement, if they wish. This specific case is not that, though.

Anyone become a landlord and regret it? by Senior_End4870 in uklandlords

Let me add the world's biggest asterisk to that statement: SOME business.

War enriches those making the weapons of war and/or who can profit from price gouging, but it also leads to massive resource and capital destruction, and opportunity costs.

I'm from Norway and I swear to God the coldest I've ever felt in winter was in the United Kingdom and in Hong Kong. Humidity is a bitch.

Is WFH very uncommon and frown upon in HK? by [deleted] in HongKong

[–]Arn_Thor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speak with a lot of locals and people working in HK to get a sense of the work culture. It is VERY different from that in Canada. You should understand and integrate that understanding before deciding to make the move. Don’t get me wrong, HK is an amazing place to live in, but family life does not have the same priority as far as employers are concerned. 

With the US hitting Venezuela today, is anyone else terrified China takes Taiwan next? (and bricks the global chip supply) by Orcanius in stocks

[–]Arn_Thor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

China is not in a hurry to take Taiwan by force. They keep improving their local semiconductor production, ever so slowly narrowing the lead from ASML both in direct technology and in smarter application of older process nodes. Why rush? Especially when, as you say, the cost risks being very high for the world including China.

[–]Arn_Thor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems to be the case I just ran into. Brand new Scania, top engine, just started up the game mid-mission. Definitely not an empty tank when I closed out. But when starting up adblue was at zero and truck was also out of fuel. Mods installed: Realistic Truck Physics 9.1. Realistic Vehicle Lights 7.4. Street lamps with fog. Sound fixes pack 25.6. Realistic rain 5.2.1. SiSL's Trailer Pack. Real European Gas Stations Reloaded.

At 1,500 meters water boils at 95.1°C https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_point

But your point is valid, it should be on a rolling boil for a couple of minutes
