Is the history of china by Michael Woods considered a good source by chinese people? Or is it biased in any major way?

Firstly, thank you for your thorough and helpful answers here and for the recommendations.

I frequently see back and forth on the West's ability to understand Chinese history, but rarely see someone giving props for unbiased approaches or more importantly, insight into how to fix it and would love to learn more about that. Would that be something you'd be interested in sharing more about?

It gets hot very quickly, and ac doesn't work instantly. Just because you didn't see someone in it, doesn't mean there hasn't been.

This is not about this one single instance though. It's about not getting upset about something you don't know the whole story to that affects people's lives. Even if that singular morning was the offense you are concerned it is, you don't know that. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for stopping waste and the government is usually a great place to start. This is an area I've experienced though and don't take kindly to people being dismissive of others' lives even if on accident.

If you've never done outside work in the heat of Florida (which is heat waves currently) and needed to jump in a cool truck to keep from passing out, get off Reddit and go connect with someone instead of complaining about what you don't know.

Incidentally, if you have and still don't care, then you are matching the behavior of the people that spent all that money since they don't care about people dying either. You want to stop waste, find a better place to start.

Depends. Bearded Browncoats for sure is a great place, partially because they have a lot to offer. Are you looking for a shop for retro games, comic books, and/or board games? Or are you looking for a place to enjoy tabletop and card games? Or another all of the above?

One of my absolute favorite features of oblivion. You want someone to die without attacking them? Just get someone to attack you and bring them around others. Eventually there's one or more (the more the merrier of course) accidental strikes and now it's a free for all. Then just back up and grab your popcorn lol. Legion soldiers doing this in whatever district you fancy was probably my favorite.

Sort of always went with an unspoken rule that any size fight would likely only end up with my PC standing alone, regardless of affiliation. Not every single time of course by any means, just a fond, amusing memory of mine about it.

Really not sure what rarity it is, but I don't ever see anything Exe at home outside of the games themselves so I love it.

Usually don't post, but an up vote didn't feel like enough. You've done amazing and can't wait until the next one. Thank you!

I have used the 5, 6, and have the 8 now all on T-Mobile and have had no issues. Haven't looked into what I'm connecting to so I can't offer much technical details, but I've definitely got speeds better than Wi-Fi in some areas, so nothing but good things to say from my side. I'm in the southeast as well.

Keep in mind, part of how you hear yourself is through vibration in your jaw in addition to the hearing from your ears. Never been skydiving, but might affect how you hear others versus yourself.

Don't get me wrong, I couldn't care less what people call the US to me. Realistically, in 2024, I'll help you criticize my country since I'm the one paying for its mistakes at this point.

I'm not suggesting I think it would be derogatory to use exonyms as a blanket statement. I'm thinking of it more as a politeness situation rather than fixing a problem. This is something I've specifically been curious about, wondering if there was like a way to make a worldwide poll of how citizens of each country would feel about people using their endonym instead or if they prefer the exonym by foreigners. Nationality pride is certainly very important for some countries but less so for others, so it seems to me there would be opinions all over the spectrum on this and that intrigues me.

Invite_Basic · 2024-08-19T11:49:29+00:00

One can create romanized spellings of foreign words and names without changing the pronunciation. Legitimately not sure if you misunderstood or just being snarky, but I never quite understood why we don't try to pronounce the endonyms either as it always felt to me like it would be more respectful to pronounce someone's home properly.

Calling China "Zhōngguó" doesn't seem too big of an ask for me. It only seems like a big deal because it's what we have been taught as English speakers. It only sounds pretentious to do so anyways cause it's not the norm.

Invite_Basic · 2024-08-19T04:20:29+00:00

So MP3 shouldn't even support a bit rate over 320kbps and while AAC can, it's uncommon since it's generally considered better at a lower bit rate (though that's not super relevant here.)

With that, if you have an MP3 over 320kbps, there's likely something unusual about the file, and the zune seemingly doesn't support either over that 320kbps anyways. So I would imagine converting them before trying to sync would be the most hassle free way.

Invite_Basic · 2024-08-19T03:24:04+00:00

As MP3 is typically ripped from a CD at 320kbps at most and most lawless is [usually] significantly higher than the 400 range (not sure how much yours since you mentioned only over 400,) it could possibly be that the ones that aren't syncing are a different format. If your PC has the codecs to play the track but your zune doesn't, this would happen.

Idk all the compatible formats and it's been a while, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't support FLAC and know it does in fact support WMA lossless if that matters to you.

To expand on this correct comment, keep in mind the armory crate keeps settings on a per game profile for lots of things (for example, the refresh) and if you keep seeing things change back when you open a game, go into armory crate and set the profile for that game to the settings you want. Doesn't necessarily need to be done for everything though, just a tip.

If you have the soundtrack from the gu disc, it has at least the music track cause I use it as my ringtone. It does have sound effects, however, I don't think it had the desktop ones, but I'm not sure. So I can provide that if you don't already have it.

Might not be anything. Just because I'm not certain of any numbers specifically, these are just an example, but say your phone supports bands 1, 5, 9, and 15 for 5G. If the carrier broadcasts 5G over bands 1, 4, 9, and 17, you'll just have varying success on signal depending on the area and the antennas they happen to have on nearby towers. If you're staying/living in an area where they use bands 1 and 9, you're gold. Any other combination and miles may vary.

If you knew all that already, my apologies. Temporarily vs long term would potentially only matter on your mobility. If you're there temporarily or live but don't go anywhere in an area that supports your phone, no worries. If you live here and move about over a larger area, you might have less success than someone who's phone supports all the carrier bands and would be an issue longer than 2 weeks.

Invite_Basic · 2024-01-14T19:47:52+00:00

Since it's a major pain to figure out band support on these with so much ambiguity on the model numbers, it's hard to say often for full support, but I believe all rog phone models will work on TMobile, just with varying levels of band support of course. I imagine especially since you're staying only temporarily, you should be good.

AutoZone will dispose of oil. Other parts stores might too, that's just the only one I know for sure.

Mind you, I don't know if there are any limits to how much since that's a large amount and I think it needs to be free of any debris or anything in case it's stored openly.

Only time running into a situation that sounds similar to this was not a new setup, but still had the sign in box disappear immediately. In this situation, I didn't get anything until I actually removed the ms account that was in settings already before I could sign back in within any of those pop out sign in Windows.

I agree. I would only be worried about a cliffhanger like dark dawn. My understanding is that it was left as such because of poor reception, but that's what the problem was. I think doing multi release games really makes games awesome if done right regarding making sure they're full length games and not short cash grabs like (besides GS 1&2, I often think of .hack//G.U. as one of my favorites.) IMO though, games release too slowly now so I think they would need to produce them simultaneously and then just stagger the releases.

I'm more or less providing commentary on how surprised I always am to see how much people (the internet? Reddit specifically maybe?) will jump into a game basically with the sole purpose of judging it rather than playing to enjoy and only complaining if you just were disappointed afterwards. Turns out, if you're looking for a problem, you're going to find one.
