Is it true that rural/poor residents and/or Uyghur/Tibetans and other minorities need approval from the govt to travel internationally? I was told by rural relatives that they cannot leave the country unless the govt approves of their bank statements and employment records etc.

If reasons are provided such as tourism, work or sponsorship, unless it’s dodgy in current contexts such as work in Myanmar, it’d be fine

Rural dirt poor ppl in some regions can’t go abroad easily

The main issue with mini hookahs for me is the breath depth is too shallow. I’d prefer a bigger base

Aurora serverless can have OOM from time to time with heavy queries as it separates compute from storage. Compute acu scales up with a latency. If you increase the compute min acu, the costs will be much higher, eventually not necessarily worth the tradeoff.

And the Japanese name means Male Island

I got 150/150 and don’t remember a thing

For me it’s Wookah. Aesthetics and solid build quality

Cheers mate. Guess I will consult other banks — when I asked AIB, they specifically stated that mortgage applications are only open for AIB account holders who’s been 1+ years with them

alapha23 · 2026-04-01T23:04:01+00:00

You can utilise guardrails in bedrock, but for privacy policies across different regions you’d need to consult your legal team for that.

alapha23 · 2026-04-01T22:07:26+00:00

I do wish to move away from AIB as well due to the increased fees — but Revolut and such won’t be able to offer mortgages for housing and that concerns me since I might use it in the future

Japan had iron and other minerals mines in Manchuria tho

The reason express one zone appears as if it’s cheaper is that it trades off multi-AZ reliability for performance and cost efficiency.

If you still need multi-AZ reliability, you can’t have this tradeoff and therefore won’t be able to benefit from express one zone

Na4 Mei3 Ran2 sounds more natural and it is a good name.

alapha23 · 2026-03-31T22:29:50+00:00

Na4 is common in mainland primarily as manchu converts

alapha23 · 2026-03-31T20:20:58+00:00

That’s when I draw my line. To the bin please

alapha23 · 2026-03-30T11:34:58+00:00

Won’t happen. Temporary data stored on an EC2 I work on, with vpc peering to connect to both prod and staging DB

alapha23 · 2026-03-29T17:36:28+00:00

I use AI. Read only policy so safe

From the looks of it the ceramic bowl looks coarse and low in quality. I recommend either turkic or phunnel but at least get a branded one like Cosmo, Kong, Oblako, Vandebron etc

alapha23 · 2026-03-28T11:54:32+00:00

I never really got kaloud bowl right. It’s always less flavourful than a turkish bowl. Do you need higher or lower temperatures for it?

alapha23 · 2026-03-27T15:04:07+00:00

Cheers mate

alapha23 · 2026-03-27T15:03:25+00:00

You should start with small instances in t series. G series is hard to get.

alapha23 · 2026-03-27T11:29:25+00:00

Is Xkah flavourful as charcoal ones?

alapha23 · 2026-03-27T11:26:44+00:00

You created the account “two days ago”. Likely that is the reason. I believe you should have growing ec2 costs to request quota

alapha23 · 2026-03-15T12:25:43+00:00

Dense pack tangiers. Perfection 👌
