I wish to add the word 'post-human' to my description of computershit above.
Then, of course, there's the added problem of control-freakery, which we should remember is a human problem, but now exacerbated by Internet technology in the service of the Power-hierarchy....
(rant)
I have had problems with ExpressVPN for weeks now in have given up on it for the time being, but there's a good chance this has mostly had to with my own stupidity and impatience with having interactions with the pedantic A-hole unimaginative and rigid humorless character of computershit generally - 0/1 my ass...
I donn't know about prices, Elias, but I've heard all good things about the 1-on-1 for learning Chinese as Keats, and my experience several years ago there in a small class is that the teachers there know what they're doing, which may not be the case if you find someone randomly. You might check them out.
I thought this was gokunming feedback.
Lemon lover, my point was not about dolphin''s ideas, but about the way they should be treated and the way a poster and his/her posts should not be treated. It's about the posts, not about the poster, who exists outside the electronic machinery.
See the difference?
For that matter, I think it would help if posters ceased to imagine they are actually damaged in some way by posts, as well as that they can personally damage others in this way. I think this is a good reason why using avatar names is a good idea, I don't want to be jumped in the street by some guy who doesn't like what I say here. But I can imagine other arguments and I'm open to discussion about it - we don't have to be personally at war all the time, that's where reason itself is defeated. Force rules in the street, where the playing field is not level - the force here should be only that of the better argument or the more complete information - leave imagined personalities and egos and ego defense/aggression out of it, they only obscure.
Cloudtrapezer: see Jurgen Habermas, who has valid things to say about this - well, not all... okay.
As for conspiracies, I think we both understand that sometimes people actually do actually conspire, so 'conspiracy theory' should not amount to blanket condemnation.
This kind of micromanaging is absurdly anal anyway, but note that, at 12 dishes per 10 people at a table and total bill for table not to exceed Y200, that means less than Y20 per guest.
This might not be too bad an idea in some "rural areas" - particularly poor ones - but it'll never fly. Not that I think it's a bad idea generally to slap fatcats upside the head.
Perhaps many Chinese have a particularly positive idea about US doctors, but wouldn't the whole operation be cheaper if doctors in numerous other countries were consulted? Anything medical in the US is not cheap.
Nice article. Couple of notes (1) as a general rule, seems to me it would be nice if those who put bombs in the ground in a war they lost should be require to clean them up - rather doubt if the UN or any similar organization will ever have the power to enforce such, or even have the balls to propose it, considering that their sponsors are governments. So the world must wait for tourists.. (2, more practical): better to do 10 hours conscious on the day bus from LP to Vientiane than to try to sleep on it at night. .
I'm not a health foody but the few meals I've had here have been really good and, yeah, I'll be happy to go back alone to sample all the rest of them. It's also not a bad place from which to people-watch the street below.
