It I were to sell a 3D printer, would you want PDF instructions (environment) or spiral bound paper (somewhat more usable for beginners and easier to reference).

Has anyone printed and built the Filatone 3D-printed electric guitar kit? A friend here wanted to try it, does it work ok?

This one:

What I love about the "Chinese New Year" butt hurt is the folks who don't want to say Chinese (Sure, ok?) won't just say "Happy New Year" because they still want to bend the knee to Western supremacy and their New Years being the "real" one and ours some quaint local tradition?

<sigh>

@RealSexyCyborg@twitter.com Lol Google, I work with them, you’re actively giving yourself cancer, these things must work while you or anything that’s alive is not in the room.

Dozens upon dozens of posts detailing Far-UVC theory, application, and testing- going back years. Yet every time there's some reply guy who is confidently and flatly refuses to simply Google Far-UVC before delivering the patronizing lecture...

Got my booster today- the new CanSinoBio inhaled vaccine. Super easy, basically comes in a milk tea cup, you inhale, hold it, exhale- done. No taste really. Should improve vaccine rates here, and the efficacy is supposed to be decent.

I think I have one of the only proper, stove top, single jaffle irons in China. The electric and double ones don't burn the edges closed right. I imported it after a 30-minute lecture on the superiority of the type from an Aussie bar owner but only use it once a month or so?

The darkly humorous part of the anti-Chinese traveler inbound Covid rules going up around the world is that their supporters have to assert that they're borne of illogic and incompetence, in order to argue that they're not borne of racism.?

Hanlon's Razor is basically invoked almost exclusively to excuse obviously bigoted behavior.

"Maybe the folks in white robes burning a cross on your lawn aren't racist, maybe they just don't know how to chop wood into short pieces and build a campfire."

It's exhausting.

Here in #China, a young woman’s heated argument with her mother about helping her older brother buy property, and her viral video on the topic, is renewing debate on cultural norms.

This is all completely normal in the South. Men have more earning power, investing in women who will marry out of the family is a waste. My cousin barely spoke a word English but all my family's savings went to send him to school in Canada. He was The Great Hope.

Men can't get married without property- no marriage, no grandson. So Chinese men get all the money for education, property, and to start businesses in Southern China- and it's almost impossible to start a small business without family capital. A few help daughters, but it's rare.

If it were a level playing field- men get nothing and women get nothing, fine. But when almost any small business requires significant family capital that most women just don't have access to, you end up giving men a huge advantage.

COVID is not something to fear. Even if you are infected you can boost your immune system to mitigate the effects. Li says. "The severe type of COVID is not caused by COVID itself. The virus storms the immune system. Chinese medicine can stop symptoms from becoming too severe."

Ginger, (Chinese) ginseng and sleep early.

That's the precautions they are advising the public to take.

Not well-fitting K/N95 masks (which also lessen the severity of infection if you do get infected)

Ginseng

I'm not joking

Aaand the COVID minimizing to "avoid a panic" has begun??♀️ I wonder how that will turn out- it's a mystery

#SZDOpinion The release of critical #COVID-related data is very important for local officials to draw up appropriate #pandemic control and mitigation measures, and for the public to adopt a rational attitude towards #Omicron. #misinformation #transparency

"It's like the flu"✅
It's not. Omicron is up to 40% deadlier than seasonal flu- even without factoring in the likelihood of subsequent opportunistic infections.
