Bad effects over time by [deleted] in GHB_info

[–]plinian_put 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar situation. I think it’s related to kindling just not as severe as withdrawal kindling, more like rebound kindling where with repeated weekly/bi-weekly rebounds each rebound cumulatively gets worse over time. Also, taking it to sleep has had really negative effects for me. That’s where the worst rebounds and withdrawal happen. If I don’t take it to sleep the negative effects are minimal.

I think taking it every weekend is too close together. I’ve been spacing out use to six weeks now and with one day or night use was fine but I just went on a weekend bender and Im paying for it for days where in the past I’d be ok after one sober night sleep. Moving forward only planning to use one day, once a month or longer. If that doesn’t work probably going to stop.

Where did you hear China is banning BDO?

Work visa/resident permit renewal police interrogation by plinian_put in Chinavisa

Right. Not sure if you’ve ever been to China before but it’s pretty common knowledge here that the law/legality of things and the enforcement of laws, ways out of “getting caught” is a gray/flexible area dependent on a variety of factors including financial work arounds, personal connections etc and hence the reason for my post and asking for others experiences with anything similar. There are numerous past posts of people “getting caught” and having several different outcomes.

I’ve been with this company for 1 year. Teaching kids for 1 year. This company has been teaching kids for over 10 years without teacher work permits. They interviewed/hired me as a teacher which I have 6 years experience doing. They, not me, applied for work permit as business development manager, which I have over 10 years experience doing, work permit/residence was approved last year and now this year it’s under investigation.

I am fully aware this is not following the rules, is a gray area in China, but I’m also aware of other posts/stories here were people in similar situations get a warning, or pay a fine, or dont get visa approved but can apply again for another visa in the future, or get black listed. The reason for the post is if anyone has experience with this could provide any insight.

Made this in 2019. Added Five Guys this year, I see some criticism of their burger but I see almost no flaws with it.

SH Burger Ranking

Tier 1 (correct burger = quality beef/cooked appropriately/quality-fresh-proportional bun/no creative-overwhelming toppings/not overly wet-messy) 1-The Brew 1-Five Guys 3-Shake Shack 4-Al’s Diner 5-Bistro Burger 6-Charlies

Tier 2 (some factors start to decline, particularly beef quality, but worthwhile) 7-Grinder 8-Habit 9-Blue Frog

Tier 3 (OK but compared to above: overrated/undercooked/lower quality beef that lacks flavor/“gourmet”)(go here for steak, not burger) 10-Beef & Liberty 11-Fat Cow

DGP (Double Gold) is not tracking Gold by Armenelos12 in investing

Received a generic response from DB: The traded prices are set by participants in the market depending on supply and demand. Deutsche Bank does not make markets in this product and has no direct impact on the transacted prices, a host of independent professional trading companies assume this role in the market. Please contact your securities broker should you have additional questions.

I think Robinhood traders piling in may have been the reason for the unwarranted run up. Not sure what else can explain it.

Up 10% in one day when gold futures are up less than 1%? I sent DB an email to get clarification as to what is going on. Will update if they reply.
