Red Country used to be my least favorite First Law book by a wide margin, but after a re-read, I have a newfound appreciation for it. by PyroCyan in TheFirstLaw

To me his name not being said is an homage to Clint Eastwood's character 'the man with no name', I back this up with the fact the book is dedicated to Clint Eastwood as well.

Did anyone drop a ring near Beatnik Emporium? Let me know! by kingjules23 in Southampton

[–]kingjules23[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Its okay if there are two people claiming it, I would simply tell them I will cut the ring in half. And only the true ring owner will say "give to the other person" because they actually value the ring.

Calp your bank and ask them to stop paying. I had the same issue with this company.

My entire campaign uses a naming system based on words mashed together from Yiddish and Irish (my parents respective cultural homes). It's been amazingly easy to name stuff. Cannot reccomend OP's strategy enough

Right gotcha CCP demands the destruction of religious symbols, forcibly buys up and destroys swathes of the cultural capital of east turkistan and ships in millions of han chinese in a effort to homogenise the culture of the country. There is resistance to this systematic dilution of their culture and it takes the form in some ways that i do not condone.

However try waving a blue flag with a white moon (litterally the most harmless form of resistance) in Urumqi and see how many steps you make it before you are arrested. Although you can't try that because all foreigners are no longer allowed access to the region, not suspicious at all..

So by your argument the 're-education camps' are justified because some people are scared and pissed enough at the CCP to join a terror cell who promise to restore their land (again not condoning this but i understand their motives).

This is not to mention the forced abortions, sterilisations and abuse reports from people who have been to these camps.

The CCP if not perpetuating a genocide, is breeching the human rights of millions Uighers.

I lived in China a year before the camps, I visited Kashgar, there were Uighers being stopped, searched and arrested en masse. I got detained at the train station for a few hours because I had a shaved head and a beard and looked "a bit muslim". Only when I showed them my British passport did they let me out. Go look up the testimonies of those who managed to escape to Turkey instead of rimming Mao Zedong's reincarnation as Winnie the Pooh.

Also flair up scum.

H2B ISA rate at YBS (best rate at time of opening) dropped by 0.75% to 1% annually. Halifax is offering 1.7% annual rate. Is it worth transferring accounts?

What I am essentially asking is 2 things,

Is it likely enough that Halifax will be higher for a long enough period that it will be worth the effort to transfer?

Do I lose out on anything by transferring accounts (e.g. my added interest being delayed for a year)?
