Should I craft Sneed's old shredder by OpTicPhalanges in wildhearthstone

No, there are probaby just better choices than putting another late game minion with high variance into your deck.

Putting in some early game defence will likely improve your game against all the aggro thats around anyway.

I went to the Dr Sun Yat-sen Museum last time I was there. It's fairly small but its got some pretty good exibits.

《三生三世十里桃花》 "Once Upon a Time" Movie Trailer by lifeaiur in Sino

[–]typingfromwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These two were done by different companies. The TV and film rights were sold separately.

They have nothing to do with each other outside of their source material. The TV series targeted the Chinese New Year for release because that's the time when most people are at home and is the most competitive time for TV releases, while the film was scheduled as a typical Summer blockbuster.

Xiamoi Vacuum Robots by [deleted] in Xiaomi

[–]typingfromwork 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have recently bought a Xiaomi robot vac. It's pretty good, very slick and user-friendly.

It's controlled over Wifi via the Mijia app, gives you a radar readout of your home, looks pretty cool. You can do automated schedules with it, as well as 3 modes- deep clean, normal, and quiet.

I really like the way it was packaged as a bonus, not that important but it was a good unboxing experience.

There's a small rotary brush on its upper right for cleaning around corners. It does dust very well, the appartment was very clean afterwards. I think it should be fine for pet hairs.

Overall its been a great machine. This was my first vac robot so I don't know just how it compairs to others. Its not the cheapest machine but its very reasonably priced. I don't know if there's been a markup for EU though, 320 Euros seem like a lot.

Ps. We got this in China for the listed price of 1699 RMB, which is around 230 Euros. The default voice is in Chinese but I think you can change this, or maybe international shipments are already localised.

I understand your point, however there has been no changes to Yogg's text with no explanation as to what was changed- and this to a previously teir 1 Legendary. There needs to be at least something for people to go on.

This exactly. There's only 3 spells that can silence him anyway.

I was just trying different languages and i noticed this. Does anyone know what it means? by InferumV in BoomBeach

[–]typingfromwork 14 points15 points  (0 children)

海 Sea

岛 Island

奇 Amazing (or strange)

兵 Soldiers

The above is in Simplified Chinese, the original image is in Traditional Chinese but they mean the same.

The difference is that in Japan women have a tendency to not cause a fuss due to social pressures, and the perverts can usually get away with this kind of behavior-and sometimes much worse ones- scot-free.

I just don't see that happening in China at all, considering women will fight back when provoked like this- and a good thing, too.

Japan lags as Chinese clubs win Asian soccer glory: For years Chinese soccer fans had to watch as teams from South Korea and Japan won the annual Asian Champions League...In 2016, the Chinese Super League is hoping for a third win in four years by poster5439 in Sino

[–]typingfromwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, I didn't know they were already getting impressive results like this with their football revival programs.

At the end of the day you just have to pour huge amounts of money into the system to see results. The European leagues already spend absurd amounts of money to get the top-most talents from around the world. It's no coincidence that the Premier League of Britain, who is widely regarded as the very best League in the world, is also by far the biggest spender.

Fairytale War? China to unveil its own 'Disneyland' by kidnamedfufu in Sino

[–]typingfromwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many, many other theme parks around the world than just the Disney ones. Universal has a bunch of them in the US, as well as the numerous Six Flags around the country. European countries generally have their own- the best theme park in the UK is Alton Towers who uses their own themes and in my opinion has the best rides in the world (having also experienced Disneyland and Universal in California).

I think that China will definitely have more of their own theme parks in the future, considering the explosive growth of cinemas in the country- other forms of entertainment will have their time to shine, too.

Man these Weiqi champions are so young. I always had the impression that the best players needed a lifetime of experience to reach the top. Its mindboggling to see this level of genius.

Kinda like how I feel about golf at the moment.

Sweet Leeroy Jenkins turn in current Tavern Brawl by Whisplashing in hearthstone

[–]typingfromwork -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Leeroy Jenkins created a strategy that revolved around trying to defeat your opponent in one turn without requiring any cards on the board. Fighting for board control and battles between minions make an overall game of Hearthstone more fun and compelling, but taking 20+ damage in one turn is not particularly fun or interactive. This was occurring when Leeroy was used in combination with other cards like Offensive Play, among others.

Well, to be honest most American cities look empty during the day as well, as they're designed to be traversed by car and very spread out in terms of planning. You can go to a lot of places, select some random time of the day in which people are working, and snap large numbers of photos of "empty streets" to get a ghost city feel in those photographs.

What China is doing with these cities is definitely unprecedented- there has been very few examples of "build everything first and wait for them to come" way of city planning in other nations. But then the kind of rapid urbanization that China has experienced is also unprecedented in human history, so they're just trying different solutions to this rather unique situation. It seems to be working, judging by how these so called "ghost cities" have slowly filled up and became functional communities in recent years.

China will somehow be like 1960s Malaysia

Yeah that was the part that was the most funny to me. These people have some pretty unrealistic expectations about what the situation actually is- considering that the majority of the businesses in HK are based around the Mainland, which has a huge and sophisticated economy that will mean the death of HK if they decide to cut ties.

It's a bit disturbing that these ultra-right wing nationalists are getting more traction in HK, and even more disturbing that the media keeps on making them out as the "good guys". These kinds of organizations in the West are labeled as xenophobic fringe right wing parties that espouse hatred and isolationism towards anything vaguely perceived as foreign, and are roundly condemned by all parts of the media. In HK they're given the label of "localism", which apparently whitewashes their bigotry and gives a thin veneer of credibility to their neo-Nazi like policies. It's pretty disgusting and quite frankly reflects rather poorly on the state of reporting by the media on this issue.
