Cultures where there is a history of choreographed performance smells like militaristic heritage to me. Its a good way to maintain training in your population for when the northern invaders drop in.

RE: making GBS threads I did my post grad with predominantly Chinese student and the toilets were unusable past 10:30am. Those things got hosed in poo poo daily. Then couple that with people clearing their entire sinus cavity in sinks and it was probably the worst disease vector in the whole uni.

I think you guys missed the bigger story this week. China put an 80% tariff on Aus barley leading to breweries having to pass on the extra cost to consumers since Chinese barley is not good enough for making beer. https://www.scmp.com/news/asia/australasia/article/3086509/beijings-trade-spat-australia-could-make-beer-pricier-china

Shumagorath posted:How do you put out worse barley than a literal coal-burning desert? No why? Am I doing it right? They're actually threatening to ban a whole bunch of Imports including beef and stuff. This wont stop Aus products getting in to China, it just creates middle man countries. Speaking with Chinese guy I studied with, he said it was a big deal to get Aus beef because no one over a certain income level trusted the Chinese beef.

Can't remember where I saw it but there was talk of offering UK citizenship to Hong kongers if the bill went through. That would be a great middle finger to the PRC.

After reading all the no why storied in this thread I dont have much faith in the Chinese armies abilities. Combined with the fact that the military rank structure is probably built on connection rather than competence makes it a recipe for a complete poo poo show. Still hoping we don't get to find out though.

China and Chinese universities pay money. To be fair, if it wasn't for Chinese students my research program would look uninhabited. I also met some really nice people who came from hard working families with no ties to government. One guy in his thirties even had several brothers around the same age. In Beijing. Then there were the kids who's parents were oil barons. loving bums and annoying as gently caress.

Grand Fromage posted:Was that linked to a specific event? I know there have been times when some right wing idiot in Japan did something stupid and there'd be mobs smashing sushi restaurants in China for a bit. You can always drum up active hate but I didn't encounter the kind of pervasive Japanese hatred that I did in Korea. I have no problem believing it's out there though, I just never ran into it that I can remember. I always find it quite funny that the majority of sushi shops in Australia are actually run by Chinese and koreans. This is purely based on the shop keepers appearance and manner though. To me Koreans, Chinese and Japanese all look so uniquely different its pretty easy to tell them apart.

I have this weird feeling that once they are tested militarily that they will find out that all their 18chrome steel or whatever is actually only 14chrome steel and poo poo just falls apart because some guys was siphoning off a few millions to buy condos in Canada and Australia.

Stayed in Yokohama Japan and went to a restaurant where only the dish boy spoke any English. We ordered by pointing at pictures and unintentionally ordered pigs intestine on sizzling hot plate. It was ok. Kind of like chewy peanut butter. Wouldn't recommend it though. Sushi was off the charts though. They also did a special regional kind with tiny shrimps. Also, by flat do you guys mean the square ones? I like square chopsticks but can't abide by metal. Everything just slips off. Forks are still supreme though. The only dish that requires chopsticks is shabu shabu.

Rinkles posted:Have you tried UHT milk? You can drink it out of the container without worry, and it doesn’t have that boiled milk taste What are you talking about. It absolutely does have a super weird taste. Its also much sweeter than normal milk. Still, beggars cant be choosers when you're desperate for English style tea. E: aus milk comes from black and white milk specific cows. Ive only ever seen them in paddocks and never heard of barn raised or kept. New zealand would probably be "cleaner" tham aus if you were being very strict. BrassRoots fucked around with this message at 13:55 on Feb 3, 2023 |

A lot of american milk has the fat taken out (2% etc). my guess is most euros are drinking homogenised full cream. When you take the cream out, the lactose concentratiin is higher. Thus, sweeter milk. Generally milk is pasteurised. Doesnt taste as bad as boiled milk. Never had fresh myself. Fyi UHT stands for ultra high temperature. They techically super heat it to like 135degC.

It reads like a mission statement before an actual plan. "Soverignty is good. All countries should have it" OK...... so how do you use that logic to solve the current crisis? How does it apply to the current situation? Whay should countries do to ensure soverignty is respected? I WANT ANSWERS DAMNIT! E: this is not a serious post. My tongue is firmly in my cheek.

Let me play devils advocate here: Maybe his wife is pissed because he is useless and not a great communicator. He should now tell her that yes, the whole family should move back to china. He can quit his job and they can all live there. He can then proceed to drink baiju amd sleep on the couch.
