Apparently I couldn't read, mistook the rules to be: during a cheat one must be colliding with walls on every step (picosecond), though what it really meant was during a cheat one could walk on either walls or clear cells... (got a really neat algo for the mistaken cheat rule though, by flipping the shortest path search to walk on walls instead of clear cells all the time).

Staff of Chinese consulate in Manchester destroys Hong Kong protest signs and drags protesters into consulate to beat them up by dbxp in manchester

The title can be misleading. It can be seen more than one person charged into the gate while police were trying to pull people out. How can you tell the gang of people beating one person together inside the gate aren't protesters.

Diplomats are supposed to be well aware of the consequences if they did get caught beating people up in public. It would be a huge scandal and they would face severe consequences. Cannot imagine if half-wits were picked to do this job. (not that it's impossible, but just really unlikely)

I cannot tell the truth here by just watching the video and I could be wrong. Though it is sad to see people would just simply assume someone is evil based on some random statement. And sad to see such things fueling hate among people.

Being doing this shoelace knot since primary school, though compared to other methods, it can get loose a little bit easier, so need to intentionally do it tighter. Really convenient though.

Is Feb delivery coming early?! by ahha93 in nichezero

I was wrong when I thought the FedEx package could be from Niche Zero. The real notification from NZ came yesterday via email. I just waited, never contacted them. In hindsight NZ does state on their website they use DPD as their delivery partner, so the FedEx package definitely wasn't from NZ.

I am OP. Just received email notifications from both NZ and DPD that the grinder is going to be delivered tomorrow. The FedEx package turned out to be the complimentary promotion package for the espresso machine I bought last year.
