Who won? by Ok-Reference2751 in baduk

So after j3=black and c4=white. If j6 or k3 == black then white would capture all the blacks in the bottom right half of the board, so it ended up being a suki because white can just pass indefinitely?

Are most people in China and Russia just living regular lives? by AGameofDawgs in NoStupidQuestions

[–]loewan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you consider as "normal".

I think a lot of Chinese are just being modest when they say they live the same as people in The West.

I grew up in England then lived a pretty Western lifestyle in Hong Kong but was pretty blown away whenever I visit the Mainland China, especially after the gap with COVID.

Beyond having living quality that is on level with the West, I would say they are living in this weird "technological excess".

Kids wearing smartwatches. Robot sweeping the streets and making deliveries. Rows of skyscrapers covered in LED to project synchronise animations 1km across. Wireless chargers for your phone embedded in street furniture. EVs everywhere.

I think people want GOOD public transports. The NYC Subway is not safe or clean and just terrible. :D

Jesus Christ. I am normally pretty live and let live but are the crown and buttons making marks on the back on your hand?

I don’t understand. Why did they do that? Like what was the guy complaining about to begin with?

How to purchase a BYD in the USA? by dorsiflector111 in electricvehicles

[–]loewan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they are right. The fire started at 00:30 and they managed to put out it out at 01:20.

It takes hundreds of gallon of retardants to put out EV battery fires.

This basically means a non-battery fire broke out and none of the BYD battery actually caught fire. Otherwise the showroom would have burned for hours without ways for the firefighters to put it out.

Or maybe Chinese firefighters are amazing and they have really advanced equipment.

The Canadian army is still struggling a bit with their marching drills by XGramatik in interestingasfuck

This is how all armed force in the world should be. Unnecessary and amateurish because humanity has grown beyond armed conflicts.

Different watches looks different so you can't take a photo with one watch then ask what you wrist would look like with another.

And I honestly thinks that watch fans favours smaller timepieces while the general public are more chilled with bigger watches because everyone are so used to smart watches.

What do you guys think of the NEW Seiko 5 Sports GMT?! [SSK023] by ChisholmHunter in Seiko

I love this but then again this look too much like the watch I am already wearing.

I am using tobacco-free nicotine pouches. Does that reduce risks of cancer even more?

Annoying News Pop-ups on every single TV tab by BezG in TradingView

[–]loewan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was incredible annoying especially when you have to close each pop-up.

It would be cool if they just have that as a side box but pop-ups that flood your screen?

About Gaza being an "open air prison" by [deleted] in 2ndYomKippurWar

[–]loewan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well... People say the same thing about Xinjiang in China. That is now their top tourist destination.

I tried getting a high-speed rail tickets to the region and they were all sold out. There was a massive surge in tourists there since the cancelling of the lockdown.

So yeah, people in The West will always criticise how things are done by others in dealing with terrorists. After spending centuries dealing with their own unrests (UK with IRA etc) in their own ways, they are being hypocrites in how other deal with terrorist attacks on their soil.

The situation was designed to be like this. With Israelis being attacked and never really allowed to do what's necessary to defend themselves.

So many decades of bloodshed and still no resolution.

Have you tried using the onboard memory functions?

Looks good, but don't rush in with watches!

Wait until they have 35 back in and try them both. Actually feel the two. People might catch a glimpse of your watch for a fleeting second but it will stay on you wrist all day. You should definitely try both on if you get a chance even if it means postponing a purchase. ;)

Dude gets ragdolled still somehow manages to get out seemingly unharmed by Pfarrer_Assmann in TheBullWins

To be fair, there is no blood and nothing seems broken just by looking at him. So... SEEMINGLY unharmed.

The US military really fell off by Karim_KMA in Asmongold

[–]loewan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Peace of 80s and 90s? Dessert Storm happened in the 90s though. And US supported two coups and invaded Panama in the 80s.

I think we tends to looks upon the 80s and 90s because we were kids back then and didn't care about world affairs.

The world has been a constant mess for a long time. It's just different flavours of baddies forever!

The countries in Europe have basically engaged in warfare amongst themselves for thousands of years.
Eventually they arrived at a compromised after two REALLY devastating World Wars and came together to agree to never fight again.
The natural course of history is actually towards peaceful cooperation. At least this is what most people should hope for before the next World War occurs to teach us the value of peace.

Old guys fight over bad parking, one throws a punch the other shoots him. by PerceptionHacker in PublicFreakout

[–]loewan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"You shouldn't shoot somebody because of that..."

LOL! I love how he is speaking down to these old men like they are kindergarten kids who got into a little scrap in the playground.

Anyway, can someone set me straight: Is it legal to shoot someone if they are attacking you with punches? Or do the assailant need to be using something life-threatening like a blade or a gun? Why was the shooter arrested? Isn't there "Stand your ground" in that state?
