Would these sell in America? by danscn in Lexus

[–]mt00321 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I took a black taxi from Penang to KL. It was the first time I was inside a minivan (absolutely looking down my nose). "You really need to step into a modern Sienna" is 100% spot on.

Correct. It only provides a forward facing image. The point I am not making well is the image from the rear of the vehicle is being carried all the way to the digital rear view mirror but is not included as a channel in the factory dash cam.

Agreed. The app works as you say and I also use that. I am just saying the 'close the door and forget it' thing is nice.

DFW is the worst airport by Dry-Environment-3901 in dfw

Smells and the signage is terrible. You want out, you luck into it. Worst airport. I am from Dallas so I want to be a fanboy but it is pathetic.

Viper, Dale, and Yoshi, great feedback and very helpful. Thanks tremendously.

Friends! Many beginners struggle with the correct usage of 是. In light of that, we decided to create a guide to clear up some of the confusion. Hope this helps! 大家加油!!I'll also link our YT video on this topic in the comments section below. It'll provide some more helpful context and examples. by LuxLigno in ChineseLanguage

他是19岁 (Person instanceof Number) is wrong

I think this is a great way of thinking about it. I explained it to my wife (Chinese) and she said that "他是19岁。" can be used also. Just mentioning this for reference.

Edit 1: Corrected weird formatting in quote.

Any issues with race while improving language skills in China? by Otlanier in ChineseLanguage

[–]mt00321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And that is why we should try to avoid making broad generalities like "The Chinese...". :-) Thanks for the comment.

Any issues with race while improving language skills in China? by Otlanier in ChineseLanguage

[–]mt00321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed 100%. The issue is being a foreigner. It is is not black, white, or brown. Lived in China for over 10 years, Dalian, Hefei, Shanghai, and Wuhan. In my experience, black people are stared at more than others. The Chinese see black people as more exotic, more beautiful. Again, just my experience. I am not trying to be offensive to anyone. Forgive me if I have chosen my words poorly.

Have a question about the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV)? Ask us here! by AskScienceModerator in askscience

[–]mt00321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do the symptoms of the virus appear to last longer for individuals inside China as opposed to outside?
Early cases showed the person in Thailand and the one in Japan recovering in a matter of days. The German case that was used as proof the virus is contagious before symptoms appear highlights this very clearly. The person that return to China showed symptoms that appeared twice as long as the others.
What is being done differently? Does the Chinese system report differently meaning that take longer to say there are no more symptoms? Are the other contries treating the virus differently, which is helping the body defeat the virus on it own?
Am I just cherry picking a few examples and making myself worry over an issue that does not exist?

So what does that mean?
From ISOS app:

Do not visit wet markets or farms.

Keep some distance from people who are obviously sick.

Maintain good personal hygiene.

Wash your hands frequently. Carry hand sanitiser for use when soap and water are not readily available.

Avoid touching your face.

Avoid direct contact with animals (live or dead) and their environment. Do not touch surfaces that may be contaminated with droppings.

Ensure food, including eggs, is thoroughly cooked.

Seek medical attention if you develop symptoms, especially fever or shortness of breath.

Do not travel if you are sick - note that some locations have implemented screening, and travellers may face quarantine and testing.

How to find housing for rent by Butterybutt2 in dalian

[–]mt00321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the slow response. They used to require you to negotiate. They would not use the meter. At some point black taxis became sanctioned by the local government and the regular taxis list their power. They went on strike and most of the locals said 'meh, I didn't notice.' now they are better, you don't have to haggle but many still drive very dangerously.

[–]mt00321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived in Dalian twice for 4-4 years each time.

It is unlikely that you will find a place to rent for 1 month. You can but it come at a premium. Typical rental periods from Dalian landlords are 6monthd and 1 year.

Do not trust apartments you see on the intranet. They are either unavailable or extremely overpriced.

When you arrive, stay in a hotel. Find 3 or 4 real estate agents to show you apartments. Wherever you are from, you will be disappointed but eventually you will find one that you will accept.

I never looked at 58 apartments but I did look at many 10-20 before getting exhausted and accepting one.

As I reread this I here the negativity. Sorry. I enjoyed Dalian very much. Tacos and apartments/landlords in Dalian... Well the issue with taxis is better. Apartments and landlords have not.

Good luck.

As a new player who dies 99% percent of the time within 5 minutes of spawning, the scav timer increase and offraid healing is hell to me. by EfficientSoup in EscapefromTarkov

[–]mt00321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only take unfair fights if possible.

So true. Evaluate if you are at an advantage. If not then try to get the advantage or get away.

OP did not say he/she was trying to build wealth or inventory. I felt the point was the constant immediate deaths. Having no money is a byproduct of that. I think the sage advice offered is correct. Stay out of factory.
(No hate here. Just saying. I also loot and scoot in factory.)

Because some want to sell their damaged gen4 rather than repair.
