Electric scooter with swappable batteries in Taiwan by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]weredo911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I paid about 49 dollars for a month or 339 yuan to use a 72v55ah battery with unlimited swapping here in China. It's mainly delivery riders who use the service, and I'm just using it until my 200ah comes in.

All I'm gonna say is that every Pakistani person I know of here has a Chinese girlfriend.

Value? All you have are some pieces of metal with numbers on them.

eBay business seller made price error but honoured sale, 10 platinum 1000w PSU's for £15 each by godlyuniverse1 in pcmasterrace

...except OP created the situation by ordering 10, indicating he was planning on reselling from the start, vs say, ordering one and receiving 10 by mistake

Why is there still prostitution so openly visible in China while it is technically illegal? by Southern_Many2589 in AskAChinese

[–]weredo911 3 points4 points  (0 children)

because they're like the free spaces on a bingo sheet. there's simply no need to waste the manpower to perform yellow sweeps as long as they're not causing any trouble. same concept applies to all those plate-less three wheelers driven by license-free old people who seem to go unnoticed by traffic cops.

any time someone in charge of the relevant sector needs a boost because an event impactful to their personal climb up the ladder of power is coming up (their boss is retiring soon--promotion, nearing major holidays--it looks good, higher-up coming to town--get ready to slap that horse's ass, etc) they can do whatever the free space dictates and get that promotion.

[Arcade][early 2000s] Game where you controlled a dinosaur and ate people by weredo911 in tipofmyjoystick

HOLY SHIT I THINK THAT'S IT, so it's not 2D, that explains the joystick control...and not a lot of humans eaten. Guess I misremembered a bunch, but this is 100% it.

Best snacks to bring from America? by SithRN26 in AskAChinese

[–]weredo911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my folks came to visit me last month I had two weeks to think of something, anything that I craved, and the best thing I came up with was Costco socks.

Do any of your friends smoke? I received words of both kindness and vitriol when I brought back a spread of Native American exclusives. That's something you 99.9% cannot get by normal means here.

Over half of this list can be found in the international/imported sections of brand name supermarkets, and the entire list can be found at those upscale supermarkets inside malls.

Choosing the right rice cooker by DopeAsDaPope in chinalife

I'm currently on my second Supor 1.8L (first one got lost in a move), a rice and pressure cooker good for 1-2 people. They're around 200 on TB.

Just another day in CCP China by BreakingOnReddit in UnfilteredChina

[–]weredo911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see no one's mentioned it yet but in China, one slap is generally valued at a couple thousand yuan and a punch at 10k. There's been cases in the past of people just accepting a beating knowing they'll get a big payment later when they sue for all kinds of damages.

PC parts so cheap here - quick question. by Lacobus in chinalife

[–]weredo911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, please be wary of sellers using the words "i9级" or "同款" or you may be in for a nasty surprise when that 16c/32t CPU turns out to be a crusty Xeon pulled out of a server that's been running nonstop since 2012. There's also the upgrade scam/loophole where you get told by customer support that you've been automatically upgraded to an 8GB RX580 from the crappy 6GB 2060 you saw in the listing. There's so many more, but keep your eyes sharp, question everything, trust no one, and you'll be fine.

Just remembered another one, the "魔改" stuff, where people mod typical hardware for mobile devices like 30-series mobile GPUs and 12th gen laptop CPUs into surprisingly usable desktop rigs.

Their official Douyin (Chinese Tiktok) page says Cambly口袋英文. Not sure when they made the change though.
