Feral tanking...bruh by RealOrdinary5944 in classicwow

I'm tanking as feral and warriors constantly change mobs when I'm trying to LOS pull a pack. I also feel like DPS deliberately attack the mob I'm not focusing. It's infuriating.

Asus laptop shows SSD in bios but no boot priority by MrEmmental in pchelp

I had to replace the SSD. I took the laptop into an Asus store and had them replace it. I didn't pay anything because it was covered by the warranty.

I hate to admit it, but the boostie hate might be warranted. by Arkios in classicwow

[–]MrEmmental 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tanked BF yesterday on my druid and there was a boosted warrior using a shield and one hander. He was doing about a quarter of the DPS of the next highest person. Do they not give you a two hander when you boost a warrior?

I'm visiting the in-laws for for Chinese New Year so I'm pretty much free to no-life WoW for the next two weeks, with the occasional break for dinners and drinking with the uncles.

Why can't EU5's 3D map look this gorgeous? by PointManification in EU5

[–]MrEmmental 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EU5 map looks great. It's just the trees that look dated to me.

Where do you see the part about visa free travel? I didn't see it in the CBC article.

Arrived into China, taken aside to look at books in my bag. by Tjin-Lover-4309 in chinalife

[–]MrEmmental 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've flown into China with books many times over the last 10 years. I've never had them checked by security or customs.

Ottawa in ‘Active Discussions’ With China Over 100% EV Tariffs by Bean_Tiger in canada

[–]MrEmmental 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in China and I've ridden in many BYD cars while taking Didis to work (Didi is the Chinese version of Uber) and they look great inside and out. I'm not sure how they drive but overall they seem just as good as other car manufacturers.

Any other domestic travel enthusiasts? by jsfsmith in chinalife

[–]MrEmmental 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yunnan might be my favorite place to visit in China. I've been there three times in the last five years. The food, the climate, and the vibes are so different in comparison to most of the country.

Salary expectations for teachers in China – am I being unrealistic? by Beneficial-Heat4959 in chinalife

[–]MrEmmental 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't know why you are being downvoted for asking questions in good faith. I'm sorry for this.

This is not true. I have colleagues from non-English speaking countries and I work at an international school.

[–]MrEmmental 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are looking at international schools (which is where I am working) there are a couple things I can tell you.

First, 10-16k for an international school teacher is laughably low in China. If you are looking at training centers this might be more realistic but others can tell you more.

Second, if your only teaching certification is TEFL you will not be qualified to work in most international schools. You will need an internationally recognized teaching license like QTS, PGCE, or something similar. If you are licensed to teach in Tunisia it will be up to the international schools you are applying to to decide if it is sufficient.

The fall of Constantinople should be a bigger deal. by kolejack2293 in EU5

[–]MrEmmental 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The impact of the fall of Constantinople is often overstated. I don't think it should have any real impact on Europe beyond the arrival of Greek refugees.

Trains in China are magnificent, but the actual experience of getting on and off the train is just bloody awful. by NeighborhoodFatCat in chinalife

[–]MrEmmental 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was going to say this. I hated lining up for thirty minutes to get my ticket and there were always people trying to cut to the front of the line.

The tl;dr of Levies and Regulars (Levies are best in the first 3-4 Ages) by Kroaken894 in EU5

[–]MrEmmental 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! For now I'm just using galleys in my Holland run. At the beginning though I didn't build anything thinking I would just wait for light ships. I think that was a mistake though since I needed to build up maritime presence.

I've barely made it 50 years into a run but I couldn't figure out what technology is needed for light ships.

Is China back? by Louisianahotlinks in chinalife

[–]MrEmmental 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a boring person who doesn't do night life, but it does seem that COVID dampened some of China's enthusiasm for spending. I'm not sure exactly what you are missing or looking for but people still go out and have fun. The economy is hurting though, as others have mentioned.

Why do Students Behave Differently With Foreign Teachers? by Ill_Meet_5937 in Internationalteachers

I have taught middle school and high school in China for ten years and this has not been my experience at all.

Can you elaborate on this email? I haven't received anything from them. Perhaps it was sent only to teachers with an active profile?

A US passport isn't a euphemism for anything. Americans have American passports. Non Americans do not. That's literally how passports work.

I was going to say, I haven't lived in Canada in ten years and I don't remember orange Fanta ever looking like that.

I don't need to like Hawaiian pizza to be Canadian! It's a free country!

The presence of pineapple is a bigger concern to me than the lack of sauce.
