Maneki Neko posted:Does this have some amazing other meaning in Chinese? The DingDong, which costs the equivalent of $118, provides news, weather, and stock updates. It answers questions, manages schedules, provides directions, and plays music and audiobooks. The gadget weighs about 3 pounds and stands 9.5 inches tall. It is circular at the top and square on the bottom, and available in white, red, black, and purple. Still, the company claims the DingDong understands roughly 95 percent of the population. So far, customers primarily use the DingDong for music, But the company plans to incorporate artificial intelligence to make DingDong smarter.

fish and chips and dip posted:Something I found interesting is that you presented the demonitzation as a good thing, but both my (left leaning if that makes any difference) Indian friends were not happy about it at all, they both expressed their feelings through this Buzzfeed India video https://www.facebook.com/BuzzFeedIndia/videos/1261080817285736/?pnref=story I am not an economist, so I cannot comment... Recent polls (that I am too lazy to find, but everything is on r/india) say that the majority of those polled still agree it is a good thing for the country. It's causing a huge mess, which nobody can deny, but most people are doing their best to accept that it is only for a little while and the country will be better for it later. Those sick of the corruption or having to deal with it still feel good about it in a schadenfreude kind of way. Had Modi announced months ago that this change was coming, all of that money would have been moved in other ways and the whole thing would have been useless. It's a lot of headaches, some people are protesting, but I think a lot of people will agree that once this phase of the change is over that things will be different... at least for a while. LentThem posted:I was in Delhi for maybe 2 days (internet wasn't too bad but most free wifi wants to send an SMS and China Unicom was being a bitch and not letting me roam even though I unlocked it). I was in the Andamans for the rest of the time, so that's why internet and mobile coverage got bad and we also had brownouts daily. On the plus side the prices were maybe 30% of Shanghai prices so the early days where there was a 4k rupee conversion limit at banks was generally enough to last a few days, though the following week the limit was changed to 2k and later 2.5k. 30% of Shanghai still seems high, but it's the islands. How were they? I have never gone, because tourist places + India seems like pure scammery, even if it looks great. I have some friends that left right after the announcement and were really glad to not be there during that time. Since there was no way to know beforehand, RIP to everyone visiting the country. Doing anything in India is a headache and it will probably be a long time before some places fix their stuff, even after the official period is over. It will be interesting to see how things are as time goes on. Hopefully it's all taken care of by next year when I go back to live.

lollin at the article tooquote:Case in point: Both Xi and Vladimir Putin were on hand to witness the official signing of Kunlun into the KHL last June. When was the first time Barack Obama and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau attended a hockey-related event together? It's like Trudeau and Obama both have better things to do than attend hockey rink ribbon cutting events The Canadian PM and the US President both have a tradition of betting a case of beer on Olympic mens hockey

So the china sports thing I find funny. Its good to set a goal and try to raise your profile. But it takes years to build the talent pool to really compete. I've often said the only way America will ever win a world cup would be to ban all football and baseball thus deverting all the talent to soccer. Thus I wonder how the propaganda machine runs when reality directly conflicts with the statements or if you just say we are going to spend resources and build a competitive team.

Dicky mouse posted:You have got to be kidding me The most obvious match fixing happened in the 2012 london olympics. Once people started to get caught there was a race to retire before the ban happened as if it would matter. When it was only among asian teams it was able to work, but as soon as they tried to pay off a danish team they were reported.

Dicky mouse posted:You have got to be kidding me A couple Olympics ago China and two other countries purposefully lost a badminton match (and didn't even attempt to disguise it) because losing those matches would result in their next match being against an easier opponent than if they won, so everyone involved got banned.

It's somehow always a little surprising, even though it's totally expected, to see China cheating at poo poo as though it thinks no one is going to speak up or do anything about it.

INCOMING HAIERESQUE TOPIC! Girl came over last night. She had this in her backpack. The balls move. She said it was a face massager she bought on Taobao. I laughed and laughed. I said it was advertised as that, but no way it was a real face massager. She got angry and showed me how to use it on her face and shoulders. I had to take a photo. Things happened, and I snuck it into bed and then into her. She got angry and immediately called me an idiot and that it is NOT for that purpose. She got up and washed it with soap and set it next to my dishes, while continuing to call me names for how idiotic I was for thinking it was anything more than a massager. Am I wrong?
