  • Will the real Mr Underhill please stand up

  • Well im that case you’re either lucky or unlucky depending whether inducing poop in the morning is good or bad.

  • I assume you’re younger. It didn’t happen for me until after 40.

  • This reminds me of r/shittyaskscience

  • What are you talking about? Those Teleri bastards were asking for it.

  • this could be a spaceballs prequel

  • I’m not a woman but that looks painful for her boobs.

  • Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth!

  • No shaming at all! But I think it’s important to recognize that not all cultures express affection the same way.

    One very poignant scene I remember well was when a Disney exec met the famous Japanese director Hiyao Miyazaki for the first time. The American exec rushed forward to hug them and I remember thinking that Miyazaki may have felt pretty uncomfortable with that. As an Asian American that spends a lot of time in both cultures I find that Americans tend to (for lack of a better word) impose their cultural norms on others - either through well meaning ignorance or cultural chauvinism I don’t know.

    Edit - replying to Boozilla. Not sure if it worked.

  • That’s a pretty Westernized view - it’s absolutely NOT a cultural norm to give close friends of either gender hugs in most Asian cultures. This includes societies that are very Westernized like Taiwan. It doesn’t make people any less friendly or emotionally vulnerable- but hugging is something we just don’t do.

  • Based on this article it sounds like as long as you don’t have open ports for remote administration open and/or if you’ve changed the default admin password you SHOULD be ok? I’m curious to see what recommendations Ubiquiti has regarding this.

  • Yeah but Customs is at point of entry whereas Security is at point of departure. So Security would not have caught contraband rotten fish.

  • The label is in Chinese (simplified characters common in China) and translates as “100 rainbow chrysanthemum seeds”. I have no idea whether the contents are what the label claims.
