I've been through the China thread and seen some sick poo poo, but none of that revolted me half as much as discovering that I share this thread with an actual Big Bang Theory fan.

Their factories are churning out panels that fail or don't work out of the box and the government is officially saying they're building huge solar projects where only the outer visible panels that look good in media photo-ops actually work or are actual panels. China 2020

Yeah, but even if all those actually worked and were cool and good what does it mean to be "winning in renewable energy"

Taiwan notched their third win at the Under-18 World Championship in Taipei yesterday — defeating Bulgaria 4-2 — a day after their encounter against China turned nasty seconds after the game finished 4-0 in favor of the visitors.

China lead Division III, undefeated through four games after their 12-0 dismantling of New Zealand yesterday, but they won no friends after China forward Wang Ziqiao (王梓喬) appeared to deliberately skate into a Taiwan player after the final siren in their game on Friday.

A melee resulted, with sticks scattered over the ice as players traded blows and bottles, and even a chair, were thrown into the rink.

Video footage showed China defenseman Cui Yunjie throwing the chair back over the glass into an area where spectators can walk.

As the referees struggled to regian control, some of the China team skated to mid-ice, where they unfurled a Chinese national flag and gesticulated toward the crowd until being ushered to the bench.

Reports said that the China players were furious with spectators for shouting at them to “go back to China.”

Taiwanese linesman Chantal Liao, who was not officiating, but was a photographer at the game, described the situation as a “vicious circle.”
China were angry about the spectators yelling, so they hit our [Taiwan] player, causing the spectators to yell more,” she said.

Wang and fellow China forward Wang Jing (王京) were penalized and suspended for one game for their roles in the fracas.

The game itself was a fractious affair, with 18 penalties shared between the two sides before the two after the siren.
China were on the receiving end, penalized 12 times in regulation time, including all six that were handed out in the second period, for throwing a stick or any object, delaying the game, boarding, misconduct and too many men on the ice.

Taiwan are second-equal among the six teams, adding wins over Turkey, 8-1 on Tuesday, and New Zealand, 3-2 on Wednesday, to yesterday’s result. Israel also have three wins after beating Turkey 6-2 yesterday, while Bulgaria have one and New Zealand none.

The final round of games is on tomorrow at the Taipei Annex Arena, with China to play Turkey in the first game, Bulgaria taking on New Zealand and Taiwan to play Israel in the last game, which is to begin at 8pm.

What the gently caress is that oil they put on Chinese food that makes your tongue all numb, greasy feeling and ruins flavors for a while? I had dinner with my sister at some spot she was raving about and three oily bites in my taste buds broke. Kind of vinegary too.

Sichuan pepper's unique aroma and flavour is not hot or pungent like black, white, or chili peppers. Instead, it has slight lemony overtones and creates a tingly numbness in the mouth (caused by its 3% of hydroxy alpha sanshool) that sets the stage for hot spices. According to Harold McGee in On Food and Cooking, they are not simply pungent; "they produce a strange, tingling, buzzing, numbing sensation that is something like the effect of carbonated drinks or of a mild electric current (touching the terminals of a nine-volt battery to the tongue). Sanshools appear to act on several different kinds of nerve endings at once, induce sensitivity to touch and cold in nerves that are ordinarily nonsensitive, and so perhaps cause a kind of general neurological confusion."
