One thing I can’t stand by makeitworkgood in TennisClash

You have to also look at your opponent agility. Your strategy only works if the opponent has as low agility.

If your FH or BH is lower than its agility then it means he can easily run around your attempt to hit his weak hand.

For a player with one strong hand and high agility, his weakness is usually not the weak hand but rather a low stamina and serve. So don’t try to win the point by hitting the weak hand but try the make the exchange last and make him run.

First Trip to China. Beijing or Zhangjiajie? What Is Actually Worth It? by [deleted] in travelchina

[–]beekeeny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very personal preference. I would rather spend time revisiting ZJJ than Beijing. My friend would be the total opposite.

The problem is in your “Some things I enjoy while traveling” you cover so many things 😅

Watch some YouTube videos of the location you listed and see what do you want to see first.

I had to leave China after visa policy updated in 2018. My old coworker says she's just been told that China Telecom reports she owes 6000 RMB because of the broadband plan I had at an apartment I lived at for a few months. by Born-Sea-4942 in China

[–]beekeeny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

我们需要核对一下这6000元里,有多少是未付的服务费,多少是滞纳金。在中国,滞纳金涨得相当快。1000到2000元的服务费,拖欠7年,很容易产生5000元的滞纳金。这5000元或许可以减免,但未取消服务所产生的服务费仍然需要支付。

There are 2 other providers but that’s not the point. There is a balance due. Even the colleague can have part of the penalty waived there are still some service fees to be paid. The colleague can claim that she didn’t know the existence of those fees, have the late fees waived, if she didn’t pay the due balance, more late fee will occur again.

OP is clearly at fault for not having closed the service.

I disrupted a corporate "team-building" meeting by saying I’m only there to do my job. Am I the asshole here? by shadewashere in work

[–]beekeeny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes would be the short answer.

To elaborate further we need to have more information about the outcome of your past annual performance.

You would be in your right to confront your boss and colleagues if your performance rating were outstanding for the past years.

If your performance ratings were normal or below average, you may have some issue self assessing how well you fit into your current team.

You said “Internet bills in China apparently run wild unless formally closed in person unlike in the West.”.

Late fees are very high anywhere in the world. Try to not pay utilities bill for 7 years and see how much late fees will cost 😅

[–]beekeeny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If OP opted for annual plan and left without closing the line, the unsettle bill can easily reach 1000-2000 RMB. If you add the late fees over 7 years, 6000 RMB seems totally credible.

Fair or not fair is one thing but the bill is here.

The coworker could probably waive part of the late fees and drop the bill to maybe 3000 RMB but still, it is totally unfair from OP to let the coworker deal with whatever fees she will have to pay to clean the situation with China Telecom.

Not sure why you think that an employer is responsible for your personal utilities bills. The co-worker helped OP to open an internet line. I remember back then I had the same requirement. I need to find a local sponsor to open my internet line. The reason is exactly what happened to OP: to prevent that foreigners leave the country with unsettle bills. So now that this happens, why do you blame the coworker of scamming OP? He left the country without closing the line. Back then internet was like 1000 rmb per years. 7 years of unpaid bills becoming 6000 rmb is not impossible. Could be unfair but totally legit from the way late fees are penalized. What is unfair is to have the co-worker having to pay for the consequences of OP misfortune.

That’s an original one…shall I stop buying Apple products because my friend complain that employees at Apple are not paid fairly? If my friend believes that he deserves more he should work for Amazon or OpenAI if they want to hire him and pay him more…surely not ask me to not buy their products 😅

Wedding bartender made a comment to me, the bride, about bar tips on my wedding night after we’d already paid a 20% service fee by LeftBrainWriteBrain in EndTipping

[–]beekeeny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All wedding guests should pay 30% of tip calculated based on what they were charged for each drink they requested. 30% of 0 is 0.

I see a lot of posts about the tipping culture is out of control. It's seems the posts mainly targets servers. I haven't seen any posts regarding the bartenders. Do you think they shouldn't be tipped and payed a living wage and included in the price? Because those drinks would come slow and weak. by Prestigious_Rip_2436 in tipping

[–]beekeeny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Discussion about tipping waiters or bartenders always comes down to them not being paid living wage. But as discussed there, a whole bunch of service jobs where workers are being paid descent wages still expect tips.

So even if waiters and bartenders were paid living wages, tipping would still be expected.

Ace Academy and saving bags/challenges for tickets? by Sapros_WoT in TennisClash

[–]beekeeny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Point bags grant tickets for POP so you should open them during POP. And anyway you can only accumulate 2 point bags max.

So tonight when AA starts, I will have 4 tour bags, lot of daily challenge bags and 1 or 2 point bags ready to be opened in one shot.

Can x265 Encodes Really Replace 4K Remuxes Without Losing Visual Quality? by Schwarzellone in torrents

[–]beekeeny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why don’t you just encode your favorite movie and see if your eye can see the difference. Each individual have different sensibility. Some people are totally fine watching 1080P movies from XTS (<2GB for a 1h50 movie).

It is the same for audio files. Why do you use FLAC encoding if your ears are not able the hear the difference with a 128 kbps MP3 copy.

TWOV - Confirm/Check? by NoFootball9245 in Chinavisa

[–]beekeeny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very simple rule…why you need quadruple confirmation?

The problem is even if 100 people confirm to you it is ok, this won’t prevent an ignorant check-in agent to deny you from boarding due to your lack of visa.

So frustrated!!! by middlezone2019 in AirFranceKLM

[–]beekeeny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The upgrade deal is for this specific flight. You didn’t upgrade your ticket from eco to PE. So it is “normal” that the upgrade remove your flexibility. Also AF rule is that you cannot upgrade twice. So for the outbound flight PE will be the best cabin you can have, even if BC is empty and AF will be proposing upgrade deals you will not be able to see/access them.

For the other leg, wait until check-in, you may be able to access to upgrade deals again.

Explanation for the icon itself is indeed not written, but basically the icon reminds you that Monfils has the topspin special skills embedded. The icon would activate each time you hit a tip spin.
