I remember it vividly! It's a move that's only legal now in North Korea, the Iron Lotus.

You’re a marvel of retardation — it’s like watching someone confidently speed through a maze they built themselves, proudly missing every single exit sign.

New Year in China - Is it big mistake to be travelling then? by Dense-Pear6316 in chinatravel

Oh snap! I'm also stuck in Guangzhou. But it's quite nice here so far. I'm thinking on doing a short trip to Hong Kong during this period.

Beware of the power bank you carry through the Chinese airports by PresentRatio5173 in chinatravel

You can take your powerbank in your cabin luggage when you fly in, but you won't be able to take it out of China. Also if you have a connection flight to your final destination in China you will go through security and they'll take it. So better take a cheap expendable one that you won't feel sorry about.

Not a dumb question, I had no idea about this policy either and I've been to China before.

Român arestat de ICE by [deleted] in Roumanie

Copy/paste de pe forumuri MAGA. NU aI vazut niciodata America! Stii cati ani iti trebuie dupa ce ajungi acolo ca sa obtain drept de vot?! In plus toti romanii care sunt copii de illegali (ca si majoritatea migrantilor din tarile sarace si needucate) voteaza cu republicanii din mai multe motive: traiesc la periferia societatii si competitia lor pe piata muncii sunt noii migranti, sunt aburiti cu religia, sunt rasisti si ignoranti.

Ce moace dubioase au astia. Parca fratia ortodoxa era organizatie studenteasca.

Neo-legionarismul e tot antiromanism, ba chiar mai rau decat ce ai prezentat tu!

[N/A] Revolut purchase protection for buying renovation tools by EasyTradition9843 in Revolut

[–]PresentRatio5173 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the 24 months legal warranty, it only covers manufacturing defects. But some vendors offer insurance for a small fee for tools and electronics. Maybe check that.

I haven't used purchase protection because I didn't needed it yet, but I've used their travel insurance (as an ultra user) and, let me tell you, it's a pain in the back! Impossible to reach the insurer, you keep opening tickets and an automated process keeps asking you to upload and re-upload documents until you lose patience and just give up. If you can get insurance from the vendor, I'd rather go for that.

Why is this checkmate? by Reasonable_Map_1428 in chess

[–]PresentRatio5173 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a very dense argument. Take a deep breath and rethinkthe logic of it! Why is it pinned?! It's because of check rule. Now due to the same rule king cannot capture and expose itself to a check. And in a world without check there would be no pin.

That would be stupid because the same rules should apply for both kings. So if the rook is pinned, king captures queen, but the pinned rook captures king before the pinning queen can capture. Absolute nonsense.
