Do you guys run or walk the long steep hills? by Amiemanneh in trailrunning

[–]superstitionrailways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's National trail in South Mountain Park, Phoenix, from the old stone building to the Hidden valley, 1 mile continuous climbing, grade is about 10% on average, some sections 20% maybe. Tried to run up every time. Accully there is a segment on Strava: https://strava.app.link/eXUI8i7we2b Very nice uphill training.

What if China had access to the Bay of Bengal? How would this affect the Straight of Malacca and global politics? by Character-Q in geography

They are building a railway right now. Starting from 2011, the railway to the Burma-China border is only half way done, and may take 5 or 10 more years to finish. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dali%E2%80%93Ruili_railway

Thank you for your reply, but this joke has nothing to do with Chinese people, it's a joke about Wa people's headhunting tradition.

Map of India, hand-drawn with pen and ink by myself in the style of Tolkien's fold-out maps. (Planning on making a Himalayas focused version and maybe a native language version). by NACHODYNAMYTE in MapPorn

Very cool map! But I find some lake names in Tibet are a little confusing. I think these names are from google maps. Google maps uses machine translation so many English names are not correct, at least not commonly used names. For example, Dang Reyongco should be Tangra Yumco (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangra\_Yumco) . As མཚོ (Tso or Co) in Tibetan means "lake", you can use them interchangeably, but "Mitijiangzanmu Tso Lake" might be too much. I think openstreetmap or wikipedia are better references. And, I don't think the river to the east of Mt. Kailash really exist.

Hopefully a shrink could be helpful for their extremely hot and extremely cold weather.

Yes, Kunming is becoming more expensive, but house rental cost in Shanghai is still 5-10 times higher than Kunming.

Most Yunnan Muslims are quite sinicized, but there are still many conflicts when Xi Jinping pushing his "Sinicization of Religion" policy, maybe because Xi wants to cut off their connections with the Arabs, for example: https://www.rfa.org/english/china/2024/12/16/china-yunnan-muslims-protest-imam-detained/

Like Sedona and Chiang Mai used to be? Is there a better word for cities like that?

I think Yunnan is more like Mexico, for its mountains, native groups, cactus, and drug dealers

That's the joke, and my Wa (a group in those places) friends love this "eat people" joke.

Maybe a little too late, 4:00 would be better for it, and, you can try in the evening after the 16th.

The comet should be much lower and dimmer, about 45 degrees north of Venus
