I live in Hong Kong and it feels like most American fast food here involves oil and deep fried food. Then I remembered at one point HK local fast food were full of MSGs.

It led me to this question. What is your local fast food obsessed with? It can be an ingredient, spice, sauce, cooking method, etc.

Danas (丹娜絲) is a typhoon that formed to the east of Hong Kong and is moving northwards. She pretty much pulled away all the clouds so it's very sunny (and hot) here.

Wutip (Typhoon) (media.wetdry.world)

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/31197787

Wutip (蝴蝶) formed very close to Hong Kong, within 800km away. She isn't even classified as a "tropical cyclone" because she was not strong enough. She spent most of her lifetime as a "tropical depression".

The Chinese name literally means "butterfly", so that's why she has butterfly wings.

I call this "Typhoon Posting". Basically, I draw tropical cyclones as humans. This is the 1st typhoon this year, and my 3rd typhoon total.

Decided to actually put in effort and tried to dotfile with Hyprland and Waybar. It turned out pretty well!

If you think the wallpaper looks disconnected, that's because I actually have a diagonal monitor setup.

This was taken on March 12, 2024, on a little hill in Shatin, Hong Kong.

I'm a university student and the schedule isn't always the best, so I often go "hiking" during 2-hour breaks because the campus is built on the hill.

It was a sunny day and I walked up slope to a higher class residential area (outside campus). I saw this awesome view on a turn. This is one of my favorite photos from hiking.

If you are gonna downvote, say something.

I can't tell if you're downvoting because you saw the word "blockchain", or you really love it.

I'm using quotes in the title, because I suspect a major amount of people use the word "blockchain" loosely to refer to other related things. If you are willing to, please provide a definition of what you mean by "blockchain" as well.

They were so smart that they went back into the water and don't have to ever deal with capitalism

Not only that. They also censor illegal use of drugs, and therefore the first episode of Detective Conan gets funny.

Recall the scene where he got fed the drugs. Now imagine that tube of drugs pixelated.

Hongkonger moment

I'm seeing so many posts about the hurricane meanwhile we get hit by multiple typhoons every year.

For our tropical cyclone hazard system, most people don't have to work under typhoon warning signal no. 8, but only if it happens before you get to work.

There used to be a joke about "Lee's Forcefield", where the observatory would often NOT put up no. 8 until after the stock market starts for the day, meaning most people have to work.

Therefore yes, you're going to work.

You don't download shell scripts from github for windows. You download batch scripts and exes from random file hosting sites, and they don't even fix your problem.

Every 1 minute, 3L of water gets heated by 50K. With a specific heat capacity of 4200 J / kg / C and density of 1 g / mL, it takes 3 x 4200 x 50 = 630000J per minute.

With a rate of 4.0 x 10^4 J / g for the heater, we can get the rate of combustion with 630000 / 40000 = 15.75 g per minute.

People had multiple accounts because servers were unstable. Now that stability has increased we're just abandoning the alts.

You're very close! I'll make some edits.

1  My life over here is terrible.
2  Work environment is not very good (yes you're correct), benefits are few
3  But don't need to worry, every day has only about 10 people getting heavily injured,
4  and I am very careful.
5  We opened a small store, business is not bad.
6  Although I am not very familiar with English, I can still sometimes 
7  (This line is adding a word to the previous line)
8  understand what the white people (we meant westerners) are saying. (Line 6 to 8 are parts of the same sentence)
9  Hope I can get some fame here! I will work hard here, and
10 will be careful with my health
11 Are you (plural) still good?
12 Very miss you (plural), wish we can meet again

(I am a Hongkonger, speaking Cantonese since the day I was born. The other translations using translation software aren't accurate because there is an added character at line 7.)

Fewer people, fewer idiots. I'm glad that people here are actually sane.
