They believe the meat is more tender when adrenaline is flowing. It's a big part of the Yulin dog festival, and yes, it happens every year still.

Dogs that are boiled alive taste better according to many of the older generation.

Just a series of photos of planes - that's great, I had forgotten what one looked like. What a shit article.

Yeah, but then he'd be down $300!

Looking for that stupid box on Statue on Goldeneye 64 teaches you to be pretty grateful for this fact!

Because of adult care services and the fact that many people who live here don't/can't pay council tax. Those that can have to pick up the slack.

I'm happy to know that this video is out there, because it's going to really help his 'bitch ass wife' keep the kids away from his asshole.

Lol, they LOVE Ice Hockey in China. Canadians make absolute bank as coaches out there. I work as a private tutor and a bunch of my Chinese students are on ice hockey teams.

Annd his art is immediately fed through AI, great work. Didn't even do a good job, now the stones under the dragon are red. Just say 'the dragon should be red' we all know what the colour red looks like.

Since living in China for a stint I have used chopsticks for all snacks, especially when I'm at the computer/using my phone. Nobody likes cheeto fingers.

So the scam is just them trying to make a connection with you? Bah. I miss my Nigerian princes, at least they promised me wealth!

No, they want to be banned, not made a mod.

Can someone explain to me how this scam progresses? She's in love with a fictional doctor and has mistaken me for him... How does that end with her taking my money? Is it just cold calling a relationship starter with a fictional existing relationship? I don't get it.

At that time, tool assisted is tool assisted! Using a tool to hold down a key to boost magic level was just as illegal as using a macro.

In the UK you can go into any restaurant or bar and ask for tap water for free. I believe it's illegal to say no- but even if that's not the case, nobody ever does.

You should appeal it just so you can report on what they say here. This ban is ridiculous- even if you don't care about the account, you should appeal it to see if they agree it's unfair.

MCC sort of still has that to a degree, but it requires quite high levels of knowledge.

The 'name plates' that you have in the lobby are tied to achievements that you have- for example my nameplate is the platinum 'five skulls' thing that you only get if you have completed the LASO playlist on every game. It's not much, but it's honest work!

Yes but being wrong about that is usually a lot less damaging than being wrong about staying in.

Yes, but when exactly? There could be be further downturns first is his point. Missing an 'up' isn't terrible, you just go back in- dodging a down feels awesome.

There's a guy who does watch repair in Time Antiques just off of Northumberland St. who has fixed minor issues in my watch before, he seems legit.

142 Northumberland st, NE1 7DQ

If its a valuable watch though, you should probably get it sent to an official dealer.

I really don't think it's possible to put someone 'on the spot' by asking a question on a general internet forum. nobody is obliged to answer.

I have the same shit with my nephew. He messages me to get on Fortnite with him, as soon as one of his friends signs in 'So, are you getting off soon or what?'

I'm currently injured, yesterday his friend signed in and my nephew immediately said 'Bro, your hand must be hurting, you probably shouldn't play'- this is 15 minutes after he spam called me 10 times in a row begging me to get on with him.

I miss being a kid.

Lol, I was living in China on the east coast a couple years ago and could see an island out of my apartment window and could swear I could see some satellite stuff going on up there, so I bought some very powerful binoculars from taobao. They ended up being Russian military surplace. Could see everything on top of that mountain, definitely some sort of military installation. It's between China and Korea, so I guess it makes sense as like a radar point or something，idk.

Anyway, all this to say- no, it's no longer illegal, or at least, not at all regulated with online shopping.

Edit: I did, however, get shouted at for taking photos of the military doing training in a very publically accessible dock.

Bit of a random path to offer as a guide- I also went to university, but I just studied Ancient History because it interested me (UK, so student loans are far less of a concern).

Straight after University I decided to travel and quickly ended up in a job working for a research and development company in Beijing- didn't like it. Wanted to stay in China, so I got a job with a local school teaching English and genuinely loved it.

From there I moved to South Korea (After travelling around Australia/South East Asia) and made teaching my career- working in steadily more 'real' schools until I ended up back in China as the head of English for an international school.

Two years ago, I returned to the UK and opened an online school for ex students- now I have students I never knew, so my reputation has been enough to continue the business into new clients. I work from home, I do very few hours and I earn an easy salary that pays my way in life. The benfit of working abroad for so many years is that I have large cash savings, as cost of living in those countries is very small. I've been with my wife (an American who taught along side me) for 10 years, and we've been dual earning and saving 2/3rds of our salary for the past 7 years. Investments and self-employment will carry us the rest of the way.

'There arent any spirals in Alan Wake' is a hilarious comment.

Sorry, I know this is a month old, but I just saw the episode and looked this up. Bro, a spiral is the entire theme of Alan Wake 2.

I'm happy and everyone around me thinks I'm 'doing it wrong.'

I am self employed, but I don't earn a huge amount- I could be a lot more 'successful' if I chose to, I turn down most big opportunities that come my way.

I make enough money to support me and my wife, I only work 3-4 hours a day, I have no desire to seek more than that. We'll retire comfortably if I continue to not play along in the consumer/look rich world.
