I thought you guys were talking cock, or that the problems were just in Singapore. Nope, I had the problem this morning, in North America.

Not to mention toll charges that are sky high. The bridge is really just a vanity/military project. It will never breakeven, and will eventually rot away since maintenance is expensive.

Outdated lah. It's like saying you and keling kia are the same because you look the same. Not quite the same right? One superior to the other?

The trouble with not having a car is that family outings become such a hassle. Everything else you say is true too though.

I think this is the future of battles: Because human-in-the-loop systems cannot react as fast as human-over-the-loop or other machine based decision making, we are going to have bot swarms fighting bot swarms and also hunting humans. It is inevitable given the dynamics of the battlefield...

This pussy is in jail now. He was blubbering because they didn't serve vegetarian food there!

You are very welcome. If there is anything Hakka related that I can help you with, please let me know. I'm not an expert, but I have spent a great deal of time reading Chinese history so that I could translate my 族譜， which is mostly in Classical Chinese. It's hard.

As far as I know, the current thinking is that Min is descended from an earlier form of Chinese (Old Chinese), meaning that people who spoke the ancestor of Min migrated to the area where Fujian is today in an earlier migration. There, the language continued to evolve on its own. Hakka seems to...

Not so much a national language as the (imperial) court language. We know descendants of the Han imperial line (they convened a worldwide clan meeting in the 50´s or 60´s to reconstitute their 族譜). They are Hakka. My own ancestors were in the Tang court, and we are Hakka. It´s not really...

I could go on for hours about the history in our records and how it aligns with what is publicly recorded. But, there is a lot of personally identifiable information in it, so the CCP dogs could quite easily dox anybody in the clan. Not especially safe to do this given where the CCP is going.

Cantonese, Hakka, and Min (Hokkien) are the original, pre-Qing languages for Han Chinese. They all still retain most of the syllables and tones that were lost when the Manchus invaded and occupied China. The grammar is actually somewhat different even to this day, and there are characters and...

Hakka too, eh? The key thing is to see if someone in your clan still has a 族譜. In my case, it was relatively easy to research since our name and history is very distinct, and also recorded in some imperial scrolls. I found that it helps to be able to read traditional characters, know pre-CCP...

Probably only the delta strain. Once the omicron strain gets there, the zero Covid goal will have to change.

It's how I intend to go, if I need to go early. One or two breaths and you're already unconscious, and doesn't cause the panic that CO2 does. My friend's father researched it a lot before doing it. The family was waiting in the other room after saying goodbye.

Actually, there is no conjecture amongst Hakkas. Many clans still maintain 族譜 that trace ancestry and migrations over the years. It is just that you'll never get us to show it. Many, many Hakka clans protected their 族譜 from the CCP's Cultural Revolution. For example, my clan has written records...

Complex for no reason at all. Just get a small cylinder of nitrogen from a welding gas supply store, and a mask (or use a small room at home). Done. One of my friend's father, who had a terminal illness did exactly this.

Why should you care what she thinks or feels? Whether it is true or not depends on her point of view, she is entitled to have it whether it is right or wrong (in your opinion). She is also allowed to state her opinion, just as much as you are allowed to state your dissatisfaction with hers. That...

She has bigger balls than most. There is nothing wrong her voicing her opinions, it is how society improves. Criticizing one’s own government, society, or culture is not being a traitor unless your mind is so small and heart is so fragile that you think it is traitorous.
