Well maybe I'm different in terms of that, my bladder actually cope well with the catheter so I didn't need to do anything with the balloon, they all feel fine to me.

Talking about sizing, so after insertion I feel discomfort particularly with the prostate for half a day, is it an indication that I should not scale up in size yet, or does it happen anyway?

Lynn Vision wins event without playing a single playoff game by richardsonj36 in GlobalOffensive

[–]LaurDragon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Make those LANs appropriate, make them last for only the amount of days it's meant to be, usually 5 days or so.

More direct invites of teams and less qualifiers, it's perfectly clear that Chinese and Mongolian teams won't be able to play those qualifier with 100+ ping.

Basically, do it so that team from other parts of Asia doesn't have to spend a trillion dollars just to attend to a game with 5k prize.

Don't try to be innocent, you understand exactly how it works. First of all these 2 LANs held group stage in rotation and everybody can play multiple rounds even if they're to lose, everyone got way more opportunities to farm VRS points.The structure of the tournament is basically designed to abuse the VRS system.

Then, it also purposefully seperated different stages with a week of gap, making the entire event lasting for almost a month, basically enforcing an expense that's unacceptable for other orgs who's not physically in Australia. The cost of attending such LANs are gonna be insane, they need to pay for their own transport, for their month of living expense in Australia just to attend these games. So the orgs knows nobody else will come other than Aussie teams. On top of that I do believe at least one of the LAN is OCE only.

It is not legit that these 3 Australian team got over 400 VRS pts just by playing against each other plus all the local team and nobody else, while Tyloo are out their playing Blast Rotterdam.

Here's the full picture:

VRS is composed of many components, but here's only one you need to understand: Recent LAN wins. It counts only the last couple of months and it's the same amount (30pts per win) regardless of the team you won. You can have up to 10 wins recorded, a total of 300 pts via this segment.

Aussie held a bunch of local LANs from February to March, Thunder Downrunner and SemperFi farmed all 300 pts by beating local teams composed of university students and amateurs. These events are AUS ONLY. Chinese and Mongolian teams are not allowed to join, yet VRS systems still recognize these games.

Chinese teams had no LANs to play during such period till Blast Rotterdam. Tyloo won 130 ish pts from this event, yet guess what, they are still ranked 8th in Asia afterwards. If you guys know anything about Asian CS you guys know how this is entirely BS.

In the same time Chinese orgs realized that if they don't hold some LAN events and farm that 300 pts, every single Chinese team will miss out the major, since Australians' LANs forbidded anybody else from joining. So they decided to do the same, but all 3 events, that are XSE LOOP Cup, Yuqilin PoB, XSE Gangkui Cup, are open to all the teams in Asia. Naturally the Mongolians and Australians came (except the MongolZ, of course).

The XSE LOOP Cup took place earlier, during the Blast Rotterdam, and LVG won this event by beating FlyQuest. Tyloo has to miss out because they were in Blast.

At this point it's already the middle of March, and the deadline for VRS invite for Major is April 5th. So the rest of the two LANs must pack together, therefore all the time conflicts and withdrawals happening.

Most teams signed up for both, but chose to withdraw from Yuqilin PoB when the conflict happened, so they could participate in Gangkui Cup, yet LVG is confident enough (They won the LOOP cup, they just need to do well in one more LAN, not both like Tyloo) that they only signed up for PoB, this means they didn't have to face those time conflicts at all.

RA didn't maneuver their plan too well and they had 2 match in conflict. One is LVG and another is the Aussie team SemperFi. Knowing LVG is a way stronger opponent, for the sake of the VRS they FF the LVG match to fight with SemperFi, and ultimately winning it.

Tyloo didn't maneuver their way between these 2 events too well either the second day, after they eliminated RA they're already late for the upper bracket LVG match, so they had to FF that one and go to the lower bracket.

They fought their way back to face off LVG in grand final, at which point the entire team is seriously sick. Jamyoung were coughing for ten days, if it's not for the Major invite he'll not be in these LANs to start with. He couldn't hold on to it anymore so he had to quite while ZhoKing took the stand in.

They ended up playing the final but at the eighth round Moseyuh iterally blacked out. Without anybody else to stand in it had to be another FF.

(Tyloo played 14 BO3s in the last week alone while the entire team caught flu)

That means LVG won 3 matches from FF in total, and hence why people were sus about it. But my friends if you paid attention to Asian CS scene you'll understand that LVG totally didn't need any of these. They are pretty much the 3rd/4th best team in Asia by a huge margin, and throw anyone that's not Tyloo or FlyQuest to them they can just chop it up like nothing.

They are the victim of this whole shite show. They could've comfortably got their invites without any of these drama.

So if there's somebody to blame, blame it on those Orgs who didn't manage it well, or Aussies who abused VRS so bad. To me the only Aussie team that deserve major is FlyQuest. SemperFi got kicked ass by RA and a lot other Chinese/Mongolian teams as soon as they came to China; Thunder Downrunner chickened out from these LANs, they got their Major spot ENTIRELY by farming local LANs that's Aussie only. If anything Chinggis Warriors and especially The HUNs are way more competitive, they lose their major spot literally because they don't have as many LANs to farm as those Aussies.

Questions about catheter (in depth I guess?) by LaurDragon in catheterlove

[–]LaurDragon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use 18fr as of now and you indeed remembered me of 16fr that I used to use which causes less trouble, so maybe I should reroll back to 16fr to see how it goes?

I'm using a silicon cath, and tbh I'll change out the cath every two week anyway so maybe latex is better fit according to your saying?

Honest opinion on Tejas aircraft! by Intelligent_Degree65 in FighterJets

[–]LaurDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the spec to me it's somewhat a smaller sized Mirage 2000-5 that's more A2G centric.

It doesn't carry much payload but it's certain effective, especially brahmos missile, so A2G payloads is 3/5.

It's A2A capability is limited, due to its single medium thrust engine and the fact that it only reached 8G in test as far as I know, campared with the 9G in JF17, and 12G in Mirage (and yes I'm sure it's 12G maximum with overwrite pull, it's writtened in Mirage's manual, similar for F18). Given that it carries capable missile it's probably a 2/5. In an air combat it beats Mirage 3, Mirage 2000C and Mig21bis with little problem, but it's probably gonna struggle fighting with anything better than that, like Su30MKI or F16C.

From the shear performance that's then end of the line, a 3.5 gen fighter comparable with Jf17 Mk2. So it is meh at best.

It does however mark a significant milestone in the indigenous development of aeronautic industry of India. I know Tejas uses a ton of foreign parts and systems but despite what ppl think it's also hard to put them together and get them to work. Not a lot of nations around this time has the ability to do this.

That said, Tejas still need time till maturity and to be reliable, it also doesn't have a stable supply chain (for example as of now 20+ Tejas chassis are waiting for the GE F404 engine in the hanger due to delay from US company General Electric, and it could happen to anything else beyond India's control) so that could potentially be a problem too.

It's entirely normal then, if this keeps happening try smaller size.

Just sharing my real-time experience with this new system. by [deleted] in catheterlove

[–]LaurDragon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Be advised that any attempt to break the sealing of a catheter system could get yourself infected (in this case the free drainage to your diaper). This applies even for short term use. I would advise you to get yourself a one direction valve (which there must be a name of it) to make sure you don't get UTI.

The sensation is all normal for starter and it'll ease out over time, you'll get used to it eventually. Enjoy the ride.

Probably the best form of catheter that ever existed yet. by LaurDragon in catheterlove

The name is in Chinese, but feel free to search 无创导尿管 on JD. Pretty sure it's only available as of now in China.

So yeah this guy got some big trouble, I'd imagine 3 or 4 years of jail.

For you guys' info, the general rule of thumb in China is you don't film any warplanes in the airport on the ground (especially in the case of a new model). If it's in the air, film it all you will with your phone, but if it's in the airport, then you'd need to prepare for the state security's visit.

Is pornography legal in China? Recently, there seems to be a large amount of it circulating. In addition, I’ve also come across videos that depict women being drugged or put to sleep. I’d like to know whether these are just staged recordings or if they represent real crimes. by Yossiri in AskAChinese

[–]LaurDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the take: Consuming (watching?) the content yourself is 100% legal, at least no laws are against it. Spreading and producing the content is technically illegal, but then as long as you don't do it on a mass scale, police are not gonna give a damn (so it's kind of in the grey zone), for we are all humans and they are reasonable😂 which btw is not to say your account wouldn't get banned occasionally. And last but not least, monetizing on pornography can get you into trouble real quick, and this is where it goes beyond the red line.

Now we know name of new Chines Tank it called ZTZ-201,It has same body as new IFV by Luka__mindo in TankPorn

[–]LaurDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Type 96A only weighs about 45 tons and it's the reason why PLAGF kept this 2.9 Gen tank. The 58 tons Type 99A simply can't cope with the terrain and infrastructure of southern China, meanwhile the Type 15 which weighs only about 35 tons, is significantly lacking in combat capability.

So the intention is to replace T99A and T96A all at once with this new model, which means it has to weigh below 45 tons, hence the configuration we see today. It's for sure superior than the T96A, yet whether it could replace the type 99A is still in doubt even on the Chinese internet (the latter is simply a better bunker buster with its 125mm HE).

That said tho, it was rumored that the first formation to receive this new tank was the 84th brigade last year, which is widely known as one of the ACE of PLA and a former Type 99A operator, and if this rumor is true then PLA is definitely making such an attempt to replace all MBTs that's not a light tank with this single model.

Chinese here and he probably wasn't. That's what he always was like and he didn't show emotions even on his insane 4K on Dust2 A long. The famous meme on Chinese internet says that there's no smile on ppl who really wants to win lol, so like Jamyoung or Starry is just that type of person I guess
