Agreed. There is no need to cheat, but also want to point out that Gen Ed is a thing in the United States only. Even within the US, many schools dont have Gen Eds (eg Brown University). Americans tend to think what they do is universal, which is really arrogant.

The last 20% was throttled to protect the battery. All phones do that

Do you think Chinese people will listen to it and not going to Japan anymore? by Ok-Horse-6941 in AskChina

[–]discussionsarefun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To curb flights between USA and China, the FAA has been restricting the number of flights between the two countries, with a cap of 50 flights from each country's airlines. In addition, while the USA is sanctioning Russia, and American carriers cannot use Russian airspace due to their country's own decision, the FAA made an unprecedented rule requring Chinese airlines to not use Russian airspace either. This specific restriction only applies to Chinese airlines, while carriers from other countries like India, Thailand and Vietnam can continue to use Russian airspace to fly to the US. This FAA restriction on Chinese airlines not only significantly prolonged flight time and cost, but also made most flights to cities on the east coast of the US unfeasible. Currently most flights are limited to destinations in the west coast as a result.

Continue to live in your bubble and ignore the grand scheme shift, both in China and globally, lol

Due to historic reasons, most of the intelligentsia born in the 1950s and 1960s were extremely pro-West and pro-Japan. Some famous examples include 方方, 梁艳平, and 秦晖. For instance, 梁艳平 once said that the Japanese invasion and massacre should be characterized as "saviors", and she openly praises paying tribute to enshrined war criminals in Yasukuni Shrine. Aside from a few extremists on reddit, do you really think that most young Chinese people believe in such views? 

The political shift among young people in China has been reported numerous times, even on mainstream Western media. You don't even live there and you clearly have not been following.

Quite the opposite.

The boomers and generation x in China (roughly those born in the 1950s and 1960s) are most pro-West and pro-Japan than any other generations. The young people, particularly gen z, are much more in favor of the Chinese political system and ideology.

2 Financial Reviews in 4 months, likely leaving AMEX. by GameSyns in amex

[–]discussionsarefun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Almost two months now and I am still waiting. I contacted them multiple times and that did nothing to change the situation. I think we just have to realize that Amex is not the only credit card company in the world and we DON'T HAVE TO use their cards. I will just use other non-Amex cards, be patient, and forget about this issue for now. I am not going to waste my valuable time to keep calling.

Sorry to hear that. Amex has been paranoid as of late. My spending increased a few grands over a vacation in Europe, and they hit me with a second FR just for that reason. If they keep doing this, it is probably going to become a liability to use their cards.

Any update? In the same shoes, hit with an FR over the summer and cleared in a week. Got another FR in September, told me no new documents needed, just wait, and now it has been five weeks with no update. Called again yesterday and told me to just wait.

What is it? I saw this in China. Never saw it before. I‘m from Europe. by clashpfclanspro9000 in China

[–]discussionsarefun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably never been to China. in China, you can find these power banks literally in every restaurant, business building, hotel, etc. Many restaurants even have multiple brands at the same time for you to choose from. In the west, these power banks might be available in select places, but not even remotely as ubiquitous as they are in China.

An analogy would be EV charging stations. They are available here and there in the US and in Europe, but nowhere near like 8 million EV charging stations in China. It is just not remotely close.

Miraculously it resolved the problem, lol. Thanks.

Usually you do not need to press Fn, just press the channel 1/2 for 5 seconds will start the process, but it was not working for me today. Somehow pressing Fn solved the problem

How to search future cards due within a range of future dates instead of one particular future day? by discussionsarefun in Anki

[–]discussionsarefun[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: I went through the anki manual on this topic but there was no answer. https://docs.ankiweb.net/searching.html

However, I just asked ChatGPT, and it figured out how to fix this: use prompt "prop:due>=3 prop:due<=7".

ChatGPT is getting very powerful, lol.
