yes, but do they die from it? i've seen more stories of people dying from pit bulls

You’re far more likely to be killed by a mosquito than a dog.

Do you have a source on this? I've not seen any US cases of a person dying from a mosquito bite.

a dose of skepticism...for child sex abuse laws?

I tried with greek and "anemone" seems to be one of the results? I don't think that should be a name for a child....

This doesn't seem to work for Chinese. I put in English and Chinese and expected "May" as a female child's name. 美 (mei) means beautiful in chinese and often used for girls. It didn't seem to be one of the results.

I tried for boys as well and "Park" was a result. That's not a name in Chinese, that's a Korean surname.

theres a language learning community you can ask this on

no, that's not the same thing. "our relationship" does not convey the same emotion that is intended in the chinese word.

? It's the best way to translate it, some Chinese words don't have good English translations and vice versa

I once listened to someone who managed a walmart-esque store complain how to get their cashiers who earned slightly above minimum wage to go above and beyond their required duties

when women are obligated to cover up, people just accept those governments telling them what to do; have you seen any protests lately about governments in the middle east and asia telling women to cover up?

we get typhoon/monsoon season around this time but in recent years it has been stronger and more destructive than before

i only keep it because some friends died a while ago and it's the only trace i have of them left

is that subway still working? if so that’s pretty impressive

MTR is running but many stations stopped because either they got flooded or the streets outside are flooded

this is a bus that got flooded

here is a subway/MTR station that's flooded: https://cdn.i-scmp.com/sites/default/files/d8/images/canvas/2023/09/08/e55c8344-c070-48e2-a13c-e2b3e1a7ee16_97609f3f.jpg

it's a wong tai sin station (wong tai sin is the god of healing in Daoism)

oh, thank you

my background is not in engineering which explains my confusing questions

"Will wearing a suit and tie count? Marxism originated in the West. Would its presence in China also count as hurting national feelings," one user posted on Chinese Twitter-like platform Weibo.

She cited one case that drew headlines in China last year where a kimono-clad woman was detained in the city of Suzhou and accused of "picking quarrels and provoking trouble" because she had worn the Japanese garment. The incident sparked outrage across Chinese social media.

"To wear a kimono is to hurt the feelings of the Chinese nation, to eat Japanese food is to jeopardise its spirit? When did the feelings and spirit of the time-tested Chinese nation become so fragile?" wrote one popular social commentator online, who writes under the pen name Wang Wusi.

In 2019, during further moves on censorship, China blurred out the earlobes of some of its young male pop stars in television and internet appearances to hide their piercings. Tattoos and men's ponytails have also previously been blurred from screens.

Someone i know who works higher up in walmart said something like 50-60% of their workers were FWP

Level 1a. Stuff slightly more complicated than a list of settings, usually for something like a VFD or a stepper motor controllers. Not as common.

Level 2 PLCs, HMIs, and the black magic robotic stuff. Stand alone equipment. Like imagine a machine that can take something, heat it up, and give it to the next machine.

Level 3: DCS and SCADA. Data control center and whatever SCADA stands for, I always forget. This is typically for integrating or at least data collection of multiple stand alone equipment for level 2.

Level 4: the integration layer between Level 3 and whatever means the company has for entering in sales.

Like everything in software this is all general. Some places will mix layers, subtract layers, add them. I would complain about the inconsistent nature of it all but without it I would be unemployed

Is this specific software engineering languages? or is this electrical engineering or what kind of work is this?

Obligatory comment about how good the British show The Detectorists is.

For those wondering, "Hurting the feelings of the Chinese people" is an actual phrase (伤害中国人民的感情) it started all the way back in the late 50s.

this last part "感情 ganqing" translated as "feelings" or "emotional attachment", it's actually an important part of chinese culture, esp business culture (similar to this is "guanxi" which is someone's network). These are major parts of chinese culture and relationships with others. this phrase is more like "you're hurting our relationship"

i would prefer there just be less people in the world, then there wouldn't be this problem
