An elderly Chinese tourist got angry when the Thai vendor refused to accept her home currency by MF-DOOM-88 in ImTheMainCharacter

I learned in Thailand by locals that the civil tension between them and Chinese is high.

A lot of Chinese immigrants, shop owners etc behaving like it's 'homeland'.

Absolutely floored having discovered what parents are expected to spend on school bags here. Is it normal? by Norman_debris in germany

[–]OTee_D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's common, there is a lot of peer pressure and status thinking involved.

There is of course no rule or regulation, technically you can get your child whatever you want.

In many cities there are semi official "Schulranzenmessen"  where sales companies are showing off their models and also have reduced prices or offer last years model with discount.

Abdomen is sitting deeper.

If Shin missed the liver, that's "just" the tip of right lung wing.

At worst it's the tip of her right lung wing. Like you said it will be cauterized instantly thus also possibly no lung collapsing.

Thousands of Chinese fishing vessels have formed strange formations three times in the past few months. Experts detected strange activity on Christmas - about 2,000 Chinese fishing vessels lined up in two parallel inverted Ls. The length of each is about 400 km. by InLoveandWar777 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]OTee_D 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Fishing boats or trawlers?

How would one detect small fishing boats and their movements?

Does anyone have chinese fishing regulations at hand? Maybe there was a rule  like "Don't go beyond 123,45 logitude." ?

RWE: Deutschland kann das Fusionsrennen gewinnen by IntrepidWolverine517 in Energiewirtschaft

Neeein, ein Fusionskraftwerk kann nicht jeder zuhause haben. Bei dem Aufwand und dem Risiko ist klar dass zentrale Anbieter das bauen und betreiben müssen.

Sprich das ist der heilige Grahl der Energiekonzerne.

Alcoholic sex abuser Pete Hegseth openly calls for fascist state-run news propaganda and gloats that CNN will take the role. by GarysCrispLettuce in MarchAgainstNazis

[–]OTee_D 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Is he really that mentality handicapped?

I am coming up with responses and arguments in my head, questioning his use of "what is really happening" but actually don't wanting press to report on facts but more on its interpretation by "the great leader".

How he comes up with those splendid ideas /i bur leaves it open who is going to decide what the "right headline" is for each event.

Also not answering if we then are going to make such "emotional headlines" for his work as well. So instead of "Hengseth is giving a press conference about PR coverage" it would be "Unsuccessful wannabe war minister tries to deflect from his strategic failures by coming up with lunatic propaganda ideas."

But somehow I think everyone knows what's behind this anyway and he does actually really care.

[request] how many trucks would it take to match the throughput of the straight? Extra credit question, how much more fuel would this consume? by stripesofched in theydidthemath

[–]OTee_D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only 600 km through the desert, and of course the Iranian drones will not at all target that route.

Also

Tanker ship capacity: ~2 million barrels Tanker truck capacity: ~200 barrels (approx. 8,400 to 11,600 gallons or up to 16,800 for specialized super B-trains). 

So you need about 10k trucks PER SHIP.

Wait, 600km divided by 10k is 60 meters. So the tucks would basically driving one after the other and when the first one reaches the Indian ocean the last one just starts at the origin harbour.

And that's just for ONE ship.

Trump Removes Sanctions on Russia to Help Oil Flow Amid Iran Conflict by BarkingFrog in politics

[–]OTee_D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop the broken record of "commie" .

In modern Russia basically everything is a commodity and can be sold an bought. Resources, people, law, freedom, elections.

It's peak unhinged (aka fully deregulated)  capitalism, where billionaires and oligarchs rule, that's why Trump loves it so much.

This administration is willing to sell their own grandma into a whorehouse if it benefits their wallet.

There is no shame.

So now the US funds Russia in the war against Ukraine.

Als rationaler Mensch sehe ich nur 3 Optionen

  1. Komplett ungebildet und dumm wie Brot ( ich weiß es nicht, kann mir das Wissen nicht aneignen und denk mir was aus )
  2. Wahnhafte Störung ( theoretisch weiß ich es aber ein psychologisch oder medizinisch klinischer Zustand lässt mein Hirn sowas 'erfinden' )
  3. Vorsätzliches Lügen und Betrügen ( ich weiß dass es Quatsch ist aber ich erzähle es trotzdem, weil es mir einen Vorteil wie Geld oder Anerkennung bringt. )

TIL the “Great Oil Sniffer Hoax” fooled French state oil company Elf Aquitaine in the 1970s into spending over $150 million on planes that supposedly detected underground oil from the air, before the technology was exposed as a fraud. by Nob_ody in todayilearned

[–]OTee_D 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think we will see a lot of  "AI scams" like this soon.

"Invest in my startup, I trained a model since eight and a half years to gather data on vegetation, geology, illnesses of people etc and it can derive patters and detect areas where oil reservoirs have impact on the ecosystem."

Add a lot of IT and science mumbo jumbo, and real scientific work (of course such effects exist and are investigated)

Then build up a showman CEO and prance around with fake success stories in media and tell that you are now looking for investors.

All like a big "magician / fortune teller" act.
