Speaking of registration, permit me to touch on more technical issues brought up by some individuals very early on in this thread.
Registration is the floodgate where spambots penetrate into our forums without resistance. It has become a daily nuisance for mods and readers alike.
I don't mean to step on the toes of prospective developers embarking on revamping the website, but it may be recommended to beef up on the newest version of reCAPTCHA based on modern machine learning. Ones that are Chinese/English-friendly and not blocked by GFW. Such first and second defensive layers against bots have significantly evolved since 2013 when Scally previously commented on them:
When one has refrained from using the antagonistic "snowflakes" to coin the left, you know the new approach is working.
Lets keep it this way. Attacks on political affiliation and personal beliefs should also be moderated. Even in avatar titles such as "Trumpster" whether sarcastic or not.
Besides multiple warnings, for those who followed the dialogue more thoroughly, Ishmael was trying to be Don King by instigating an emotional retort from @jj123 to passive aggressively undermine Vera's example setting efforts.
Anyways, for those who is playing in memoriam of Ishmael....
he is just taking a timeout, having a glass of Guinness with pizza at Cantina, quietly drafting his sci-fi novel.
He'll be alright. Back in a few days, sprightly as ever.
Not like Ishmael was made example of in a William Wallace-esque decapitation, where his limbs are hung on four districts of Wuhua, Panglong, etc.. as GK's malicious attempt to frighten the masses into conforming to laws of the land.
No, nothing like that =)
Also, Peter99 and dolphin can always rejoin us in more civil reincarnated forms. Fingers crossed.
I presume the Tiger family is currently feasting on a data buffet.
Service providers will likely offer separate family packages that allow sharing of data, like the current 80G family plan as advertised by China Telecom.
This of course will be more costly than above mentioned single plan shared privately with others,
Another caveat is that phone users are also banned from passing their mobile phone numbers to others. This Dec. 1st regulation may prevent you and your family member(s) from sharing SIM cards linked to one account. Thus, curtailing unlimited data usage by multiple users. Big w$n for telecom providers by blocking this loophole.
Ishmael, flip side is that scammers engaged in phone and internet fraud will hit a roadblock when this facial recognition safeguard is put in place nationwide.
It would be a logistical nightmare to hold multi-city military parades. Military representing all three uniforms protecting Yunnan's sw border already had their own thing in Kunming. They congregated at the people's freedom monument hall arriving on bus loads. Packed house.
Perhaps tactfully change "promoted" to celebrated. Refrain from being an acrimonious guest to your host. Untimely, especially on their birthday night, which begun with fireworks to boot (booming in the distance as I'm typing this), and well deserved I might add.
70 years may appear like a lifetime for individuals, yet fleeting for populous nations. From overwhelming poverty to global success story. Hundreds of millions of souls with job opportunities to feed themselves and their families.
Pausing your country/ethnic/political bias for a moment as fireworks light up the night below the same crescent moon seen 70 years earlier. We as one human race can collectively celebrate and ponder on this glimmer of truth, craters notwithstanding.
