Taxi drivers have "shifts", so after their shift is over, they'll hand over the taxi to another driver.

If they cross the harbour, they have to pay the tunnel fee, which is fine if there's a customer since they'll pay for it in the fare. But if it's close to the handover, then it means they'll likely have to rush back with no customer and have to fork out the tunnel fee themselves.

While taxi drivers on the whole are garbage, this type of thing can easily be solved if the government stepped in. Maybe waive the fee for taxis during return tunnel trips or something. But the government prefers to spend their time buying giant taobao glowing eggs to attract a mainlander demographic that doesn't even spend money.

It's wild that a whole breed of cats can look like someone.

This is what I came to say.

I'd rather them follow proper procedures and take longer, than to see someone get sucked into an escalator and die like what happens in China.

You have to hate privacy to want to live there, holy shit.

I know you can close the curtains, but then you get no natural light.

Avoid clutter, throw away shit you don't need. I know Marie Kondo has become a bit of a meme, but her ideas really work. If your house gets messy easily because you have a lot of stuff, you generally won't want to clean that shit.

The other thing is to make cleaning easily accessible. For example, get a nice wireless vacuum cleaner. One that you don't have to drag out of a cabinet and assemble every time.

But how else am I gonna show you I have this sweet new skin?

I'll generally get a good citizen and wait on pedestrian red lights even if there's no cars and everyone else starts crossing.

But fuck walking around the long way when it's perfectly safe to go through diagonally.

Kotaku is the best when they don't post anything.

But games like Diablo 4 have crossplay with Playstation and we don't have to link our Bnet account with PSN account ...

"This hole ... it was made for me"

Haven't eaten enough Lasagna in HK to say its the best, but the one I had at Pici was decent.

The portion was small though.

DB, because Burst lv2 from itself synergizes well with the weapon.

- Ridiculous HK rent prices
- Saturated market (They don't just compete against other coffee shops, but also bubble tea, etc)
- Coffee wasn't that good to begin with

This isn't about a few square meters bro, it's about a whole galaxy, far far away.

Extremely disappointed that there is not a single penis joke in these comments.

Yeah, I get this too and it's fucking annoying.

But at least the monster "lags' with you, so you don't get killed during the stutter.

Is there a typo here? That doesn't add up

Buster is basically Gandalf of the doggy world.

I'm not religious, but I'm praying that the baby survives and grows up to know that their Mum was fucking amazing.

homodynamics

I googled homodynamics to check if it is really a word, and got an unexpected result.

Not sure if HK is more 'poorly hit' than during COVID, it might be that it's not rebounding even after money has been put into recovering.

HK was thriving pre-covid thanks to a relatively good MICE scene. A lot of business tourists came from other countries and also China. But foreign business tourists has dwindled a lot, they just don't see HK a good gateway into China anymore thanks to the National Security law. With the NSL in place, might as well just do business directly with China.

The other thing that sustained HK pre-covid were the rich Chinese people coming to splurge of luxury goods, but there is a lot less of them now. The modern Chinese tourist comes here with packed lunch boxes, sleeps in the MTR station until the first morning train and then goes home without spending a cent in HK. Yet, the government still tries to market towards these people.

Alibaba literally has a CCP "Party Committee", and is loaded with CCP members.

Sure, it's not Global Times or Xinhua, but it's close enough to call it a CCP source because everything that comes out of it will be filtered by the CCP.

SCMP is owned by Alibaba Group ...

I have no kids, so I can't give you advice there.

But I just want to say ... stop stressing out. You said your wife and her family are happy, so you should be too. Stress can really spreads to others, so you really don't want to pass it onto your wife.

Your salary is very decent, you're getting double or triple the average here, so you should be fine even if your wife doesn't work.

And find a place close to work/the office. So you can get home quickly should your wife needs you for anything.
