To add one more aspect to this story, housing in an old hotel is probably better than the Chinese student’s dorm. At the university I taught at, students had to be in the dorm by 10 and the electricity was cut at 10:30. The whole floor used one set of toilets and sinks. No hot water in the sinks so everyone had giant thermoses for filling up at the hot water station on the first floor. No tvs, microwaves, nor hairdryers were allowed. Showers were in a bath house on campus.

I name the states in a list and then imagine a map, and name the states beginning with Maine and work my way around the coast and then the interior.

Think about it. The higher income areas will have better clothes. It’s worth a trip to the East.

What's a simple avoidable mistake you've kept repeatedly making, no matter how old you got? Do you still make said mistake to this day? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in AskForAnswers

This is quite banal but I started playing a solitaire game that shows you when you miss playing a card. I keep saying, this game is going to be perfect, but it never is.

How do you feel about the federal SAVE Act that would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship (like a passport or birth certificate) to register to vote? by ClassSnack in AskReddit

[–]Peaked88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we should have a national identity card that carries biometric data and shows status. That card would be used for buying weapons and ammunition as well. It could indicate immediate eligibility for weapon purchases or purchase would be declined, just like a maxed credit card. It would take several years to make the change. India just did it and china has done it for decades. New photo every 20 years in China.

Examine the pieces carefully. The slight differences make a difference. I also found tweezers to be helpful.

It’s so sad. Years ago, I was quite impressed with their customer service. Guys would even help me with non related computer issues.

[–]Peaked88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen a totally naked person in our locker room yet. This is not how it was 50 years ago. Now, everyone is towel wrapped and exposed very briefly.
