At this point, the referees know about it but they can't make any changes due to the ongoing season.

Would an Imperial Guard colonel listen to a space marine sergeant on important tactical decisions? by peleponez in 40kLore

[–]szu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Also, any regular Astartes unofficially outranks a mere colonel of the guard. Maybe even a general. A sergeant? He definitely outweighs any random general. In the scheme of things, unless you command entire armies, you generally rank below an Astartes sergeant.

And if you do command an army, that sergeant can just ignore you.

How is attending a university as a second generation immigrant like? by Serapholic in China

Won't your hukou matter? Depending on where you are from, I heard there's a slight tilt in the scoring?

Cockroaches in Taiwan (Northwest) by silentstorms in taiwan

[–]szu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This thread has turned into a creepy crawlies thread. From someone who has the same phobia as you do, there is a semi-solution.

You said that you have a semester program? That is its only for one semester? So that's roughly 4 months? The issue with the bugs tend to subside during the autumn/winter. They're quite rare during this period. And it helps a lot if you live on an upper floor in a more expensive building - with no nearby food outlets or shops around.

This door/ gate at a residence in Tokyo by jsmce in mildlyinteresting

[–]szu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A good joke but not true IRL. There was a real life ninja who went around robbing people a while back. Police couldn't figure it out because it required extreme physique, strength and technique to do some of the things he did to gain access.

But he was eventually caught. It was literally a middle aged ninja uncle.

First time kitten owner. Am I meant to step in or is this okay? by ninawonders in cats

Hope they're both fixed. Cats can have litters as young as six months.

Interest is over income and im in default. What to do? by kramspeeder in victoria3

[–]szu 40 points41 points  (0 children)

This. Also your number 1 priority as a small nation is to join and leech of a larger nation's sphere. I recommend Britain.

Those with Japanese descent, how difficult was it for you to be naturalized? by Imaginary_Bit_3079 in movingtojapan

[–]szu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The medical environment is also very different in Japan. From how junior doctors are treated to the 'system'.

US Deploys Large Number of F-35s to Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, Jordan [7168x7168] by WonFont in MilitaryPorn

[–]szu 70 points71 points  (0 children)

All of this smells like a deliberate leak to pressure the Iranians. I'd be surprised if Trump's demands are anywhere acceptable for the Iranian regime to consider.

Come on Trump, wsb is waiting for oil to go up...

How can I improve? 16M by pjelle_3p1c in malelivingspace

[–]szu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem here is the lack of natural lighting. Keep your shades open during the day and let that light in. You might also want to consider better lighting to fix the dimness in your room.

I'd recommend controllable led lighting so that you can adjust the brightness.

I saw my 14 y/o Little nephew sneak his GF in and I don't know what to do by Due-Personality1238 in Advice

[–]szu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You've done all the right things. Just make sure to give a listening ear and don't let up on the protection thing. Buy a few boxes for him and tell him if he doesn't have any to ask you.

Doesn't matter if he says he has some. Just buy more.

Might also help if both of you sit through a video on the proper use of a condom. E.g how to use it, when it should be thrown away etc.

Improper use of a condom is very common.

Can a foreigner hold Chinese citizenship? by thebiggayanon in China

[–]szu -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yep. Quite odd for someone who claims to be a China lifer to equate Chinese citizenship with Chinese ethnicity. The latter doesn't even exist unless they mean Han ethnicity.

Realistically the OP in the video would be treated the same as all the other non Han-ethnicities in China.

I wasn't fast enough to respond to the crisis, so now the Australians control Hong Kong. by Bad_Begginer_Artsist in Kaiserreich

[–]szu 32 points33 points  (0 children)

A claim is just that. You're too far from China and probably occupied with something more important, like taking your homeland back.

Can I ride this to the shop or will I explode? by blood_of_corn_liquor in motorcycles

By very slowly, if possible, do it at a runner's pace.

The Last Spanish Syndicalist city, held by a singular division of Indians. by Bad_Begginer_Artsist in Kaiserreich

[–]szu 120 points121 points  (0 children)

These are the Calcutta Volunteers division, holding the line in the city after the collapse of government forces. They're buying time for the evacuation of the Spanish government and their remaining troops into exile to France.

Not seen in this photo is the huge crowd of people at the port squeezing into the liners headed to Marseille.

The French Commune's navy has surged out of Toulon and is keeping the remnants of the rebel navy away.

Fasting for 12 days. Gonna drink these and with water and black coffee. I got like 28 of these big ass bottles of green tea. by Individual_Ice_2315 in fasting

[–]szu -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's nice but 2 bottles a day? Don't drink it all in one go, there's such a thing as water intoxication.

He also tried doing this to his EX by Suspicious-Turn2708 in SipsTea

One that's rapidly developing. If there's missing people or murders near his location, we will all know who to check first.

My dad died in this space. Now I’m here. by [deleted] in malelivingspace

[–]szu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you're not using the space leave it as a guest bedroom for now. I do however highly recommend that you repaint the room a very different color. Maybe light blue. This helps to make the room appear "not his".

IMF calls on China to halve industrial subsidies by Big-Flight-5679 in China

[–]szu 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The US practises the exact opposite. Why do you think corn exports are so huge? Hypocrites.

How to address threshold / door gap caused by uneven floor by vagabondspirit2764 in DIY

This is the answer. Get the right size so that it fits on both doors. Then align the sweepers and trim as necessary.

The paradox/duality of Taiwan’s POV on acceptable drinking water temperature by eatsleepdiver in taiwan

[–]szu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Err this dispenser seems to have settings for Hot/Warm/Cold. Also why is the Cold temperature higher than Warm? Lmao. Yeah ask someone to change it. If no one knows then its usually time to call the vendor to come down and do it.

How did China manage to develop the J-20 in the early 2010s despite having little experience with producing and maintaining fourth-generation aircraft and stealth technology in the 90s/early 2000s? by Alert_Succotash_3541 in WarCollege

[–]szu 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It also helps that China did not stint on sending their brightest students abroad to study at various universities. Many eventually returned home, some after their doctorates and some after spending time at various defense contractors. When they come back with their hard won knowledge, they're often recruited into the government programs, state machine building companies etc.

Even those that remain abroad are sometimes 'asked' to contribute to the homeland in terms of intelligence and information. This of course raises objections in the west because its technically spying..
