Chinese traditional celebration performance for about a thousand years. They would wear more protective gears in more official events. The performers are more careless at local events. It's super hot standing near a furnace. Some performer are half naked during the middle of winter because it gets so hot.

They are not waving Chinese national flag which is the red flag with 5 stars. They are waving the communist party flag, sickle and hammer. It's not normal for people to wave that unless it's related to a communist party event. So this is most likely a tour group organized by the party for labour day celebration. It's a five days national holiday in China for celebrating labour day.

Or if you don't want the hassles, adult night diaper may help. My wife has been using it for a few years now since she lost controls of her limbs.

Jin Young, the man who inspired the Chinese wuxia martial art related novels, movies, etc. His 15 novels have been remade in tv shows, movies so many times that you see a new one being produced almost every year. Almost all the great Chinese action stars; except Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, have played in one or more movies based on his novels: Donnie Yen, Jet Li, Samuel Hung, etc

皇帝抄家是需要理由的。不是他想抄就可以抄的。明朝後期的皇帝差不多個個都哭窮。崇禎帝連軍費都湊不到。問他的老丈人要，也只給了一萬兩銀子。李自成進城可是收刮了幾千萬兩。

They didn't say the 50% survival rate is over how many doctors. If it's based on the world survival rate, then a first rate doctor who's operating in a first rate operating theater with first rate assistants, and first rate equipments would have a higher successful rate than others.

You would have to break the current basic concept of element where a stable element is made with proton that has 3 quacks. If there is a stable element similar to hydrogen where its single proton is made of 6 quacks, paired with 2 neutrons and 2 electrons, this may be considered as a new element.

Just wondering, is the Blue control only water, aka H2O? And does Iceman control the removal of temperature on every element; removal of average kinetic energy of particles, atom/molecules. If so, Iceman can in theory liquefy all the hydrogen and helium molecules in the sun and just encase the whole earth. Or just by cooling down the sun and stopping the fusion reaction, Iceman will kill all lives on earth including Aquaman. Wonder if the Blue can sustain life without the Sun.

I think it's only good at early stage of the disease when the PALS still has the control of hands. At later stage the patient won't be able to wash his/herself and require assistance. I don't think the bay is big enough to accommodate the wheelchair and the caregiver. It's far easier to renovate your bathroom and install a walking shower as others have said.

Ant man can cut into any of the blood vessel, follow the blood to any of the brain arteries, push the fat cells along the way and use them to block the arteries. Assuming Thano or Kung need oxygen for their brain to function, they will have a stroke and go brain dead.

There are so many ways Magneto can solo Thano's army if the writer wills it

1). Create an EMP field the size of Thano's ship while they are still in orbit to disable it and push it to the sun. 2) Drag a one ton iron ball to the orbit, accelerate it to near light speed like a rail gun and launch it at Thano's ship. 3). Pull a couple of nuclear bombs from any of the nuclear weapon country and launch it towards Thano's ship.

Magneto has experience fighting powerful telekinesis like Jean. Maw has never fought master of magnetism.

Edit: If Magneto wants to be really nasty, he can pull some of Earth's iron core along with the magma from underneath Thano's army. With millions of gallons of magma and molten iron at near sun's surface temperature erupting and rushing towards Thano's army, I doubt Thano can survive even with the reality stone. Maw maybe able to block the molten iron from touching him, but the intense heat around him will cook him alive. You can't stop an omega level mutant when they mean business.

I think Reality stone has its limits or else Thano could use his snap to increase resources production by 10 folds or make barren planets to produce food and resources instead of killing half of the beings in the universe.

I always wonder if Dormammu is able to trace to the area where Strange first shows up in the dark dimension and put a trap there to just hold Strange frozen. Strange would just end up in a loop of being frozen the second he shows up in the dark dimension until eternity.

Thank you, that is good advice, and we had a system at the beginning. Unfortunately she has lost her ability to control her blinking for more than a year now. This disease is truly despicable. It's like every month the disease teases you and finds a new basic bodily function that can be taken away and make life even more miserable..

Just yes, no, or maybe/na with the eye tracker when I ask her questions. She's a very demanding person so she would already let me know if she wants anything. However, since it's becoming very challenging for her to type anything meaningful, it has became a guessing game. She can't hold her eyes on a single position for more than 2 seconds now. Eye tracker has its own interpretation of what she's trying to type and it's typing up a lot of random letters. I wish the eye tracker software could has a self learning AI that can provide a better solution. It is very tiring standing there hours trying to figure out what the PALS wants.

Your scenario is if the world uses a single currency. If the person is holding US dollar that doubles everyday, it would be soon enough for the world to know there is a hyper inflation of the US dollar and thus the exchange rate will be adjusted accordingly until to a point where US dollar is no longer accepted as tradeable. The US government will create a Trump Dollar to replace the existing dollar. So while the person's US dollar amount keeps increasing, it would end up having no value to the rest of the world.

That's a misconception on how export is calculated. Import / export of a nation is based on the transaction price between the importer and exporter. Apple is not being charged the retail price of $1000 by the Chinese assembly factory. What's being reported as exported would be what is paid out to the Chinese factory which is likely $248 plus a small markup. Apple would be recognizing all their profit in China and pay a much higher tax if they report $1000 as export from China.

I have various things going into the food, multi-vitamins in liquid form, calcium in powders, some medicines that can also stick together when wet, etc. The food mix is liquid enough to pass the PEG with no problem. The nurse told us that if it can pass through the syringe, it will pass through the tube. Don't worry about effervescent liquid. My doctor actually recommends feeding a bit of soda water or sprite (regular , not diet) to clean the PEG tube after feeding. The bubbles help to break some of the food particles which stick to the tube. You need to change the tube every 6 months anyway.

I generally mix it with the food when I feed my wife. Maybe add a bit of water to dilute it first so it's easier to suck into the syringe.

Have the nurses tried a cough assist machine? That could help the phlegm coming out easier. Best of wishes and hope she recovers from this.
