This is my cat 🐈

So I have been in Xinjiang, specifically Urumqi in 2010, about a year after there were local tensions and riots (I didn’t know about the riots until after I returned home). It was summer and I saw police in full riot gear, in APCs in groups of 10-15 at a time patroling the city. Not roadblocks everywhere, but multiple such patrols. I still felt safe (as a westerner, its super safe).

So there were clear, heavy local tensions. Now you are right about the news we here are obviously one sided. You have to take some critical thoughts about what is likely happening. However inter province travel requires you to present passport when buying a ticket. It’s not really a sign of a free and fair society.

I don’t keep up with internal Chinese politics beyond vaguely being interested in HK, but seeing what happened there you can make a fair assumption that in the mainland things would be harder for folks who don’t fall in line.

Feet pics sell?! Time for a career change! Actually wait do they have to be female feet? 🤔

My god, I spent my teenage years playing counter strike, I must be a serial killer who murdered several thousands after a few decades… What a fucking waste of space article.

They are just a bit early with their Xmas presents!

Can you post where that is from please? I seem to stumble on desktops that cost 10x as much!

Yes I was looking as a client to replace the “smart” TV app that is increasingly becoming bloatware with something I can control. Just kinda need a “self hosted” client that can support 70mbps 10bit hdr streams or there about.

Yes!

Ohhh I wonder if this can work as a 4k 10bit uhd Plex/jellyfin client?

My secret word is banana 🍌

Oh I see, I misread thank you for the correction, I guess it depends if the deposit is basically to stop people reserving the place and backing out last minute, so they organiser gets to keep the money. Its like a non refundable hotel?

Anon never stated that they were female…

It’s about $110 per night, with included food and organised events of some kind. While I don’t know if this is expensive or not it doesn’t seem unreasonable to charge money for food and board of this particular event? Isn’t meetup just handling bookings and payments here? Or am I missing something.

Saying that I stopped using meetup probably a decade ago. So not sure where it’s at these days but from the other rooster mentioned, meetup+ sounds like crap twitter move

What a fucking plonker

The system is only broken because humans are dicks to other humans

Maybe the solution here is for humans to stop being dicks to other humans?.. Nah let’s just keep giving corporate America more money instead

Have two shared accounts, an instant access one for both of our credit cards and a savings account for… Err savings and interest. Works very well for us. Basically keep a certain level with instant access one and any overflow goes to savings account. Pretty simple system. On personal current accounts we keep just a few hundreds for emergencies.

And mark them with a TODO… Git blame is telling me it’s only 5 years old… Sure it would get resolved any day now…
