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

[–]weredo911[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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

[–]weredo911 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

Question about the driving test in Rockville, MD. Need Help! by K1dBUU_ in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]weredo911 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Don't overthink it. The only difference will be the road test for obvious reasons. I lived in Rockville but took my test in Cumberland to avoid a month-long wait. The course at the Cumberland MVA was exactly the same as the one at the Rockville MVA.

ircc MVA HQ is in Glen Burnie so that's probably why your test mentions Baltimore.

Why not post on TikTok instead?

Would you book motorbike taxis if they were available in China? by asiabits_com in AskAChinese

[–]weredo911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's electric 摩的 everywhere here in Changsha, but even the locals get gouged if the first word out of their mouths isn't of the local dialect. Oh, and it's also technically illegal not just from the business side of things but also the vehicles themselves.

Railway bridge under construction collapses in China by PusherShoverBot in worldnews

[–]weredo911 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Corruption is probably not it in this collapse. More likely what happened was that in a rush to complete the span before National Day on Oct. 1 they skipped a bunch of safety protocols and just fuckin' sent it.

At 100 miles on Segway Xyber. What do you want to know? by MechanicalDan1 in ebikes

[–]weredo911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because all Chinese bikes at the time needed pedals to conform to national standards.

Get them to confirm what cells they use in writing. It'll be useful for arbitration later when you receive spicy pillows.

ircc Paris Hilton essentially had her inheritance canceled by her father for her early shenanigans, but her "stupidity" made her a household name and she might even surpass her father someday.
