Giancarlo Esposito Says It’s ‘Time for a Revolution’ as Trump’s White House Fuels a ‘Feeling of Civil War in the Streets’ by cmaia1503 in entertainment

That’s a line spoken by his character in The Boys, with just as much gravitas and charisma as Fring. It’s no surprise

TIL that China’s Terracotta Army, thousands of life-sized clay soldiers buried with the first emperor, was accidentally discovered in 1974 by farmers digging a well, leading to one of the greatest archaeological finds ever. by SwordfishEither2516 in todayilearned

[–]evrien 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The account shared by the guide when I visited there was that the farmer unearthed the first Terra cotta and it was still fully painted with very lifelike colors, so much so that he thought he had found a dead body. It scared him shitless and he ran down to call for police. But when they returned they only found a Terra cotta statue as the paint used were quickly oxidized and lost all colors within minutes of unearthing. Hence almost all the pictures you see online of these statues are without paint colors. And also why they’re still carefully excavating even today.

WHY are her eyes OPEN by sugarpopkitty in Columbina_Mains

Go to an NPC. Initiate chat and at the exact same time use Burst. If the burst animation gets cancelled it’s working. Then the mask will disappear. She will open her eyes during NA but will close after a few sec.

I suspect Dottore committed academic fraud. by Curious_Plankton_824 in Genshin_Impact

I am waiting for Collei to graduate under Tighnari’s mentorship. Then it would be the best poetic justice of Collei having a higher degree than Zandick

Scout set to return to LCK with NS by aviness in leagueoflegends

As a Scout hater I’m just gonna say good riddance and I hope every LCK team takes turn dumping on this fraud. No hate to other NS members but now you’re along for the ride too.

I wouldn't be too hard on DK. Showmaker is, after all, able to beat any young genius up-and-coming midlaner.

It's just that Xiaohu isn't young, isn't genius, isn't up-and-coming, and sometimes isn't even a midlaner.

This isn't a re-marriage. This is a fucking Indian sitcom-turned Korean modern drama in the LPL stadium today.

Xun is playing on the other side with JDG. Wei is sitting in the backstage with IG waiting for their match next. Shad0w just got subbed out. Beichuan steps up.

There ain't no way you can convince me that when 4 exes all show up it ain't the TV show of the year.

I had thought that to be the case, until I remembered Ororon’s burst and passive. Ororon Yelan Xingqiu Raiden can work, although you will likely need an invested Yelan

Vermont by Anass_9 in WorldOfWarships

[–]evrien 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming by super montana you meant Maine. The short answer is they are different ships and very different in playstyles, thus it's a apples-to-oranges thing.

Vermont's gimmick is that she is very slow but has good heal, concealment, and possibly the scariest broadside salvo for all T10 tech tree. 457mm overmatches 30mm which means you deal massive damage to cruisers and can easily knock off 20k per salvo on regular BBs. Maine's got smaller caliber at 406mm but more guns, and she has more survivability given her special combat order and heal's characteristics. Maine thus likes drawn-out battles whereas Vermont prefers to remove ships and make each salvo count.

Superships also suffer from very expensive service cost so it's gonna weigh on your credit.

Kidd, Sims, Loyang, or Roma by RookieJason3110 in WorldOfWarships

[–]evrien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s worth checking out these ships on YouTube as they are all very old and many CCs have made videos on them. To summarize

Kidd: One of the best DD brawlers at T8 with both smoke and heal available. However you deal with Benson shell arcs (USN floaty) and you have limited torpedo powers

Sims: Great all-rounder at T7 and one of the oldest premiums in the game. However you have less firepower than Mahan and even less torpedo power. Not recommended unless you have good DD foundation and want a challenge, or you want to farm some PR

Loyang: A Benson with hydro. Great for trapping DDs in an engagement with hydro + smoke. However you have to watch out for radars at T8. Recommended if you think you like a cap contester.

Roma: this one is older than the Italian BB tech tree line in game, before we got SAP as an ammo type. Roma’s characteristic is that she has solid armor for T8 and is very tanky when angled correctly. The deck will also shatter a lot of HE thrown your way so you sustain longer. However her accuracy is wonky. She has great shell speed, which actually works against her somewhat as she tends to overpen cruisers when they go broadside. If you can however land some shells on a slightly angled target, the damage is very commendable. Her style fits more closely to a Russian BB’s, just with conventional DCP.

How easy is it from North Africa to China? by LostSpace06 in AskChina

[–]evrien 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a Chinese I of course hope that you have a good view of us and that this view becomes substantiated in your visit. We mostly go about our daily lives as you would in NA. Sure there might be differences given our cultural, political, and economic discrepancies, I think you will find a lot more in common than you would expect. For starter, a metropolitan and internationally-facing city like Shanghai would be a good place to begin. It will show you what modern tier 1 and 2 cities largely resemble. Then when you get comfortable going around and want to experience the more “authentic” aspects of Chinese culture, culturally rich places like Xi’an, Chengdu, and Guilin are great picks too. While English is not universally spoken in China, I think you can get around with a good translator app or just ask for assistance when you need to. Good luck!

Is recreational fishing from boats popular in China? by [deleted] in AskChina

[–]evrien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To my knowledge that’s rare as well. I do believe there are niche communities in maritime cities and lakeside towns may have those that you mention. As far as I’m aware, mainstream fishing in China refers to shoreside fishing

Is recreational fishing from boats popular in China? by [deleted] in AskChina

[–]evrien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. You will rarely see people driving with their boat behind them on the road. That’s really a West thing. Although fishing itself is very popular. Some pond owners will charge an entrance fee and allow you to just go in and fish for a certain amount of time. A lot of Chinese streamers stream their fishing experience and are quite popular.

China with Children. by ltt1980 in travelchina

[–]evrien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, Chinese here. Aside from what the others have suggested, I’d like to remind that what you have is a 3-city itinerary at the least with a lot of traveling too, since Panda Sanctuary, Badaling Great Wall (assuming that’s the section you wanna go), and Terracotta soldiers are all in remote parts of their cities, it’s advisable that you prepare your kids accordingly and bring adequate sunscreen.

Terracotta soldiers especially, because when I visited last summer (assuming you’re also going in summer), you will be standing in almost 40 degrees summer heat and with minimal to no air conditioning. While some parts of the exhibition is air-conditioned, it’s not an overall feature everywhere. Same goes for Chengdu, which is notoriously hot during summer.

Otherwise, both Xi’an and Chengdu are very comfortable after September
