I recommend you stop that immediately. I lived in Shanghai for a few years and the problem isn't microbial presence in the water, it's the poorly maintained pipes that may leach metals into the water on its way to your home. Boiling of course does nothing to lessen this. The only option is to use bottled water or a really good filter system.

That is all correct. I wasn't trying to imply that they should be voted on by the public. I was trying to say that comparing the two's time in office doesn't really work because one may be forced to leave every two years without committing any serious crime and the other can serve until they die if they want. It seems that is the issue that Pelosi is addressing.

Since you just say 'best content' I'll stick with general trackers. TorrentLeech is quite good and somewhat regularly holds open signups. IPTorrents is another big one that you can just donate to for an invite. FileList is another, but isn't quite as easy to get into.

It's crucial to remember that Supreme Court justices and representatives such as Nancy Pelosi have fundamentally different methods of appointment and tenure lengths. Representatives like Pelosi are directly elected by the public and serve two-year terms, and they must campaign for re-election at the end of each term. In contrast, Supreme Court justices are nominated by the President, confirmed by the Senate, and then serve lifetime appointments. Therefore, equating their service durations doesn't offer a fully analogous comparison.

You've raised separate issues about Pelosi's behavior, which may warrant discussion in another context. However, they do not directly address the point about the length of service.

I certainly agree with the possible cause. The part I can't figure out is the lack of logic in the actions. Why try to push into the people attempting to get off the elevator when one could just wait a few seconds and get on in a more efficient manner? It all seems to increase the time it takes.

I've been told that many generations grew up in conditions where they had to fight and struggle for everything. If they allowed someone else to go first or get something before them, then they would lose out. Only oneself and family, everyone else is one their own. I suppose this overrides the logic I mentioned that is missing in the scenarios. I don't think they're trying to be rude, they've just been taught since birth that if you want or need something (like getting on an elevator), then you do it however you can that ensures success. In the elevator example, if you do wait for people to get off, others might not and could fill up the elevator before you get on, thus leaving you to wait for possibly several more minutes.

Interesting, I assumed it would be both. Well for memes there's /c/[email protected].

I've heard that AirVPN and IVPN are good for port forwarding.

Same for me. It was particularly vexing seeing a child pee into a plant outside an open shopping mall in the center of Shanghai. The restrooms are free, why not just take your kid inside??? The other thing that got me was people refusing to let you off the subway first before they make a mad dash looking for seats. The same happens on the elevators, but there aren't seats so that one is even more confusing.
