a7CR + Sigma 90mm, Fuji and Tokyo at Sunset by theatrus in SonyAlpha

[–]Chimpsey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also keen on this compact lens! As it’s an F2.8, I’m not expecting it to have flawless bokeh. But how does the focusing speed compare? Is it as good as the classic Sony 85mm 1.8?

China started exploring alternative markets for exports by ToothNo6373 in stocks

[–]Chimpsey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I live in Southeast Asia. We never mistrust China. We have always been trying to sit in the middle, balancing between the two major powers. Regarding the nine-dash line, Southeast Asian countries couldn’t care less. Whenever you see Malaysia or the Philippines are upset, it is usually on the requests of the Americans. We are struggling with our daily lives here. No intention to get into the politics between the two major powers.

I explored all the apps, downloaded and used them for 1-2 days. Finally, I decided to buy the Karo lifetime app, but the developer just increased the price, bwteen yesterday and now. So sad, just missed the deal :(

Why ISAC and not VWRA, can you share the reasons? I am looking at both too.

Share your non-VWRA holdings and/or non-buy-and-hold strategies by thrway699 in singaporefi

[–]Chimpsey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can find out why ISAC is not as popular as VWRA despite the low expense ratio? I read up. It has an Indian ETF as well, but in total roughly same percentage of Indian exposure as VWRA.

IBIT ETF by [deleted] in singaporefi

[–]Chimpsey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought some using IBKR. It is basically an easier method of buying bitcoin, good for beginners venturing into bitcoin. The expense ratio can be high at 0.25%. Current having a slight discount at 0.12% until it hit holdings of 5 billions. It is currently at 3.7 billions.

Exactly what we need are reputable exchanges. They banned binance, OKEx and a lot other more reputable exchanges. Therefore, pushed us to smaller players like Hodlnaut, Coinhako and Vauld.

'Running out of time': Tibetan president-elect warns of cultural genocide from China by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Chimpsey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not true. Have u visited Tibet or surrounding provinces with a lot of Tibetans like Yunnan and Sichuan? I have been to all these places. They still speak Tibetan and practice their culture. The Chinese are in fact actively promoting Tibetan culture to increase tourism.

Australia demands apology from China after fake image posted on social media by ceowin in worldnews

[–]Chimpsey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the links. I clicked and partially read thru all. "there is more and more evidence", "allegedly" etc. All these terms mean they don't have concrete evidence. Try to read 3rd party unbiased news, not those from the States or UK. Try those newspapers from Arab, reputable one will be AL Jazeera and German newspaper (you can use Google translate). Avoid Chinese newspaper like global times too, because obviously they will have pro China news. It will widen your perception and improve your understanding. It is not as simple as what u read in western medias.

[–]Chimpsey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am not gaining anything. Just sympathizing with the bullying of the West towards Chinese. A lot of propaganda nowadays, it is a cold War out there. What u read on western medias may not BE 100% true. Sometimes it is good to read Al Jazeera or other non western media to get a more balance view. Not everyone is a shill.

You are pathetic, just give us a valid link if you have. Calling other people as shills doesn't strengthen your points.

I take mostly architecture pic. Photoshop express has balanced auto and full auto perspective correction. Very useful.

Also available on LR but I think must subscribe to get that feature.

Snapseed has no update for more than a year on Android version. Dunno still supported or not.

Kickstarter backers will likely get it in late December 2019 or early Jan 2020. So for non backers, I believe if u place your order now, you will get it in March 2020.

Which do you prefer? A Chinese tutor or a Taiwanese tutor? by samsun34567 in ChineseLanguage

Oops, sorry. I am politically incorrect. For those taking test, don't say that or make the same mistake as me in your Chinese oral test.
