I think the hilarious part is, if you look hard enough you can find nuclear engine designs on the open internet(even if the USAS "cannot confirm or deny" the design being so similar, the only difference is standard vs metric), and yet the indisputed world leader as of As for lasers and railguns, just get those 4k lumen blue lasers and tape them to the sides. And military grade catapult designs for the "unlikely event" the railgun

The words for potato and peanut are reversed in Taiwan so when my friend moved to Taipei from Harbin he confused everyone in the local market because he kept insisting he wanted some peanuts to make french fries and then getting angry when they handed him in the peanuts he had asked for. Edit: Your ninja edit makes this post have no context!

Since 'standard', in every interpretation of the word from literal, to figurative, to common parlance (Google), is synonymous with metric. Imperial, created by the British and named after the nature of their empire with colonies, is only in use in a single former colony. This brings me great schadenfreude, which isn't the point of this thread, but I will point out that a yank calling Imperial 'standard' rings a bit like Chinese people calling everyone else 'foreigners'.

If you're in a country that uses Imperial( ) measurements, that would be the standard, yes. Also the opposition of metric meant it couldn't be that.You'd have a point if I didn't mention the US Armed Services, though. Please respect the unnamed country's right to be egocentric about all matters without question or apology.

There was a case a few years ago where a Japanese dude left, like, a hundred thousand USD worth of yen in a bag in a taxi. The driver got it back to him with every yen still in the bag. Though to be fair if I found a bag with a ton of cash in it in Bangkok I would assume some very serious people were looking for it.

I always leave my name and phone number in my wallet, just in case this would happen. It has never happened in my life. They called me at like 11pm and told me "You... money... bag... forget...come come!!" I went to get it back and all my money, like double their monthly wages, was right where it was, and my debit card was not stolen or copied or anything. I just remember thinking "LOL, this would probably never happen in China," even with all the information available in the wallet to find the rightful owner. Obviously there are criminal and dishonest Thais same as anywhere, but Thais do pride themselves on their honesty as a cultural aspect so this isn't even the first time I've heard something like this. But I rarely hear of people getting their phones back if they forget those in a taxi, so your mileage may very.

Considering they found that fugitive Yakuza boss in Thailand, returning the money seems like a pretty smart way to avoid going through your own No Country for Old Men. Imagine spending the rest of your life looking out for a Japanese dude with a bowl cut.

Remember when our mutual friend got mugged? He passed out in his taxi on his way back from OTTO BAR and when he woke up his laptop was missing. The driver told him the fare and then asked for an extra 1000 to help him "find" his laptop. Our friend tried to drag the taxi driver out of the car and was then promptly swarmed by motorsai drivers who beat the poo poo out of him. So he bought a bicycle to avoid having this problem in the future and was promptly hit by a scooter. His thumb still doesn't work quite right. But not being one to give up, he bought a new bicycle and kept at it. The bicycle has since been stolen.

It was on the seat because my fare was $19 and I only had a $20 bill so I had to take my wallet out to pay via card to give him a nice tip. The moment I shut the door I noticed and shouted for him to wait but he sped off clearly after hearing me. Report him for extorting money off you.

My friend once left her handbag in a taxi in Minhang in Shanghai. She managed to get a hold of him (or he contacted her? I don't remember) anyway, he came back with the bag and she tipped him something like 200 CNY as it was something like 45 minute drive one way.

Incorrect. The carrier in question is the carrier China built having learned all the lessons from the old Soviet carrier they purchased and refurbished. The new Chinese carrier is now in drydock, while the Chinese man responsible for building said brand new Chinese carrier in China using Chinese labor was sent to prison in China for corruption shortly after it returned from sea trials. The rebuilt old Soviet carrier is still seemingly afloat and in working condition. Warbadger fucked around with this message at 19:35 on Jun 21, 2018 |

So I just found out jackie chan is making propaganda films that are being released in the us. Theres a local mom and pop video store that offers a monthly subscription to rent unlimited dvds and since netflix dvd takes a week to get me poo poo every couple of months I rent a poo poo ton of dvds and binge watch them. I was browsing the store and saw kung fu yoga and from the back of the cover it sounds like a normal jackie chan movie it has the director of rumble in the bronx. The name also evokes kung fu hustle which I loved. So I grab this and take it home. In the first 30seconds it shows a map of china and india and china extends to bengal and gujarat. Then it establishes that china is older then india and has a more civilized culture because of this. It then says that india pays tribute to china and in return china sent a guard to guard their royal family and an ambassador. At this point I'm like loving hell this is a propaganda movie isn't it. Jackie chan you better make me laugh in 10 minutes. So an evil warlord is terrorizing india with his elephant army. Jackie chan the chineese ambassador is summoned by the indian princess on his way he decides alone he can gently caress up the elephant army. spoiler alert he cant and the princess guard comes to help and also almost dies so jackie chan powers up and defeats them. They then go to the princess. Who asks them to liberate her country from the evil warlord's tribe of barbarians. This is where I turned it off. The back of the cover makes it sound like operation condor but it is more like wolf warrior.
