Your assessment may be correct, lemon.

The crisis involving Rohingya refugees have dominated so much of the news headlines, many may have overlooked the plight of other ethnicity groups entrenched in Myanmar's Kachin conflicts resulting in tens of thousands of Burmese asylum seeking refugees to traverse into Yunnan in years past. If the case, the influx of Kachin refugees in Yunnan may have been included in the 2020 census, notwithstanding their obscure, legal status.

Perhaps a pack of hungry tigers would prefer to devour it raw as the main feast, lol. Moreover, raw pork may not sit well with Chinese families given recent scare of African swine fever outbreak.

Shouldn't elevation & pressure variables be plugged into that equation? Our 1,900m above sea level ought to increase temp or lengthen the cooking time a bit, no?

Nope, no thermometer in stock at Carrefour nor Muji.

The cheaper "Carrefour Home" utensil brand is giving Fackelmann run for their money.

Good luck with that x'mas ham! Remember, imperfect family TLC time is more valuable than perfect tenderness of ham.

Carrefour has a bunch of Fackelmann kitchen utensils.

Last minute reminder... this morning 10am at Carrefour and Muji is the last day of 60 minus 30rmb via Unionpay using SamsungPay, ApplePay, HuaweiPay, MiPay, and/or MeizuPay.

I'll be going to battle with antsy shoppers in two hours. I'll keep an eye out for meat thermometers.

Incredible share @Peter! Almost 1,000 posts. Hope you reach it.

You seem to be right that most article features on 19th and early 20th century Auguste Francois are photographs, not video. The b&w motion really brings a bygone era back to life.

Because Vimeo is blocked in China, I took the liberty of downloading and then uploading the video to WeTransfer for all w/o VPN to enjoy (automatic deletion in 7 days):

Shicui Culture Center is a nice place to hold the event. almost like a beer garden. Hopefully Living Threads will bask in *Sani* sunshine next Saturday, although thunderstorm is the current forecast. GoK crew may want to prepare canopies just in case. Wishing the documentary & event a roaring success.

The northern walking path of Green Lake has narrowed considerably. It's making way for the loud banging construction in the vast empty lot directly north of it, stretching all the way up to the south gate of Yunnan University.

Apparently they are creating an enormous underground public parking lot. Above it, it will be a greenery extension of Green Lake, which is good news. The KRT (subway) station won't be situated here, but perhaps north of Kunming Zoo.

Many of these bikes aren't broken. Chenguan confiscate even new ones just because they aren't parked within the designated yellow lines forming a rectangle with a bicycle logo painted in it. I've seen Chenguan carry them onto the back of their trucks even though the assigned parking for shared bikes are just a few meters away. Moreover, public parking attendants throughout the city would misplace them on purpose to make room for their ebike spaces. The penultimate destination are mass bike graves similar to the ones seen in The Atlantic link shared by lemon lover. Their ultimate fate, it seems, is to be destroyed.
