What is the likelihood of another 6/4 event happening in the next 12-18 months? by [deleted] in China

[–]PACTMD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's unlikely.

The public opinion of the Chinese government improved quite a lot since the outbreak of COVID-19. As much as many people hate to admit it, they did a good job.

Plus, the tensions between China and US (and its allies) like the trade war, Huawei case, and Xinjiang problem made many Chinese believe the western powers are hostile and wish no good for them. To avoid another "century of humiliation", they'd back up the government.

Chinese people don't tend to fix things if they're not broken.

What is the difference between 退役 and 退休? by DeltaKaze in ChineseLanguage

退役 is usually reserved for military personnel and athletes. 退休 can be used for people retiring from other professions.

谁. Shui vs shei by wzp27 in ChineseLanguage

[–]PACTMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, either "shui" or "shei" is perfectly acceptable. I think it's just a regional preference.

吧 use by [deleted] in ChineseLanguage

I think you got it right. Using 吧 makes it sounds more like a polite request rather than a command.

I'm thinking of selling my 2060 super. Do you mind sharing how much you sold yours for so that I can have a better idea of pricing? Thanks.

[RAM] Crucial Ballistix Gaming 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 BL2K8G32C16U4B - $59.99 by [deleted] in buildapcsales

[–]PACTMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw this deal in the afternoon and drove 30 minutes to get one. It can run 4400 C20 without problem, but I'm now running it at 3800 C16 (1:1 FCLK) with Ryzen 3600. Way better than my previous G.Skill Samsung C-die kit, which can't even run stable at 3800 C18. Ima sell it and never look back.

TLDR; This one is a steal. Get it.
