I wish people would stop getting the thread closed. Here's to 5000 years of poo poo posts and awkward trip reports.

Neurion posted:The cat probably survived, cats reach terminal velocity pretty quick, and theirs is approx. 60 mph versus the 120 or so a human would reach. Survival rates are also really good the higher up a cat is, because it gives them more time to right themselves and spread their limbs out, etc. I can't remember where I read this, but an article indicated that the whole 'the higher up the better the cat's chances' thing came from flawed data. Basically low heights the cat just walks away (ok no surprise) and a few go to the vet, from medium heights some go to the vet and some die. From extreme heights most die and a few go to the vet and live. So the guy doing the study just uses vet data, and concludes that high altitude cats survive better because less of them go to the vet, ignoring those that are just dead and get scraped into a the rubbish. I mean, by the 60km/hr logic you can shovel a bunch of cats out of a plane at 3000m and they'll have the same survivability as a cat that falls out of a 8 story window. Anyone have a Cessna we can borrow?

max4me posted:What does landbank mean? First time I ever heard it either but Google says: land bank noun noun: landbank 1. a bank whose main function is to provide loans for land purchase, especially by farmers. 2. a large body of land held by a public or private organization for future development or disposal. So foreigners buying land instead of gold or other investments? Only the land just sits there or is underutilized so it's a poo poo deal for the country/people the land is situated in. Example: Vancouver's housing shortage despite there being enough housing.

McGavin posted:Consuming Counterrevolution: The Ritual and Culture of Cannibalism in Wuxuan, Guangxi, China, May to July 1968 "The Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region announced the expulsion from the Party of all who had eaten human flesh. But the regulations were withdrawn quickly for fear that the document would be slipped out to Hong Kong and reveal this episode of cannibalism to the world (Zheng 1993:52)." Better not do something worthwhile if it means people will find out about it.

Sammus posted:Last I read it's not entirely oxidation. Within seconds, minutes, or hours of being exposed to air the pigment starts to flake and curl up into tiny pieces as it dries. That's partially why there's still a ton of stuff waiting to be excavated that no one is touching. No one is entirely sure how to preserve it, so just leave it there until they know more. So pump it full of nitrogen under positive pressure and send in the archaeologists with scuba tanks.

Krinkle posted:Did they get a second identity for a daughter so that they could take her off the family register and try again for a son? I spent five minutes typing out the most ridiculous possible motives this, and this is the one that sharply came into focus as a possible actual real reason for this baffling thing. So the fake daughter got two degrees and has a sweet job? The correct thing is to get all the identity papers and have them reissue the degree certificates and change the bank acount the money goes to. I mean, in this case gently caress everyone except the girl who lost her identity.

It's hearing poo poo like this that makes me a) regret that I live in a small western town and also b) thankful that I don't live in a giant foreign city any more. Please write a book: "Poorly played in China" No one will know who was being played even after they finished it. Slap a giant plunger on the front cover.

Koramei posted:I mean I find it gross too but you guys realize there's really nothing actually wrong with chewing with your mouth open right? It's just cultural differences.txt. For all the mocking of Chinese people's dumb hangups, this is basically the same thing. I guess the answer to that is it's a western thing to make fun of people who chew with their mouth open. Also chewing with your mouth open makes noises that many people find gross. There's really nothing wrong with making low moaning noises when you walk or breathing really loudly through your mouth and i forget where this argument is going but you know what I mean. edit: Sten Freak posted:Except it's disgusting. Animals chew with their mouths open. It's literally one of the things that separates man from beast, like making GBS threads I'm the open, what a shocker. making GBS threads on warm day on the side of a hill in the shade of a large tree with a magnificent view is amazing and I don;t care if it means I'm an animal.

I would blow Dane Cook posted:Apologies for any cultural insensitivity on my part. Thanks! Few pages back but was this a Lottery of Babylon style reddit quote or a real post? I'd he pays too little he's going to forever be branded a bad husband and a cheap rear end in a top hat, and he owes more money. If he pays too much he's a rich chump and 'can afford to give me some more'.

Would you please describe the aairiag.. Aarig.. Aghrighig...fermented milk thing as best you can? Can you get drunk on it without puking?

So I'm going to a Chinese food potluck tomorrow and I want to bring something good. Can one of the thread experts in tasty Chinese food recommend an 'authentic', easyish to cook dish that doesn't need any ingredients you couldn't find in a typical western supermarket? Gutter oil, heavy metals, pollution etc etc hah hah hah.
