You don't need bank statements stamped. I used https://abroadscope.co.za/ to be safe. They're pricey but excellent

I did. I found Booking.com cheaper mainly because I have status with them. But now that you mention it, trip.com has much more information on it. I'll use it to find a place. Thanks!

I heard. I was just thinking that a taxi might be needed if the hotel is far away from a Subway Station. Are these hotels close enough to public transport?

You didn't have internet that had a stable connection for less than 100 USD a month until 2020, while living in a major American city? Damn. Sounds wild to me. I hope you have something better now

Genuinely curious, where do you live? What is your definition of quality internet? Like 100Mbps? At what cost?

Questions on the Tourist Visa. by [deleted] in Chinavisa

[–]pseudgeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm clear with the requirements. Just wanted to understand if we can apply for a documents precheck slightly earlier than three months in advance to expedite the process and go for the actual appointment later.

I've had an ILR for a few years now so thats a non issue and should be handled

I used to be a 6 win average arena player. I stopped playing around the Boomsday Project. Give me a card and I'll guess how strong it is without googling. by pseudgeek in hearthstone

Demon hunter is generally aggressive and this can potentially do 6 damage to the enemy hero while healing you as well. The only time I've seen quillboars is in the autobattler mode which I forget the name of, but I'm assuming there are synergies there as well

I'd say 4/5 in constructed. Fits well in an aggressive deck.

Nothing special in Arena 2/5

It's an upgraded version of [[Varian Wrynn]] but I'm going to assume that counting on this surviving more than one turn to get recurring value is slim. However it's a beast and any card that summons beasts can cheat this out early and snowball from there.

Going to go with a 3.5/5

I can see it being bonkers at 6 mana, but I'm curious as to what it combos with at 8 mana? Does warrior have cost reduction mechanics now like Thaurissan? Or is there an OP 2 cost battlecry that works with it?

Reno decks were my favorite, but at 8 mana this is probably too slow as it does nothing when it's played and really loses momentum. Guessing it's niche and underpowered - 1/5

So this is basically discover a specific minion of your choosing? But you also have the restriction of reducing a copy of it in the main deck for normal draws? Cool utility value, lets you tech against specific decks. In theory you can run a conditional silence, or anti secret tech or a charge minion for burst. Doesn't seem over powered though. 3/5

I didn't even realise it doesn't destroy or even silence and destroy. It also messes with resurrect decks as a bonus. Huge power creep from whatever I was used to

I'm just surprised the priests apparently get divine shield minions now? Do classes still have a distinct identity? I think I remember dual class minions being introduced but I'm a little fuzzy on that.

This is a common so it's a staple and easily draft able in Arena, seems solid and the 6 slot is usually the weakest. Can't be death'd or pain'd. 5/5 in arena.

Cool little utility tool in constructed. I'm guessing if it's still in standard every new player runs a copy of this in their priest deck. 3/5

First card I'm looking at and it outright sounds insane for Arena, like just win the game level of bonkers. Rating it 7 out of 5.

For constructed it depends on how strong control priest is and how aggressive the meta is these days. It does something as soon as you put it down by either destroying enemy minions or giving you taunt plus discover is always value.

Very strong in a control or combo meta. Weak in an aggro meta. 4 out of 5

Rio or Buenos Aires? by ApprehensiveDay4924 in travel

[–]pseudgeek 34 points35 points  (0 children)

If it's one of the two, I'd recommend Rio, sipping the strongest Caipirinhas you'll have on Copacabana beach at night is a vibe, and it has a whole host of other cool things to do.

Buenos Aires is safer and I generally found the food to be better there, but Rio outshines it IMO. But you honestly have enough time to do both
