World's Largest Outbreak: China Surge Infecting 37 Million People A Day by Froogler in worldnews

I'm fine, still happy about living here. But it's definitely a shitshow right now. Out of my friend group, I'm the only one who hasn't caught covid in the past 2 weeks.

The government literally said this. If the patient dies of "another illness" it's not a covid death. Most of the West did this as well to be fair.

Don't worry, China has redefined what classifies as a covid death. So only 7 people will die if you ignore the overwhelmed crematoriums.

I live in China, in a top tier city. The healthcare system was fucked and overwhelmed before this.

I also wonder the same thing. Because I'm British and come from a country with free healthcare.

But whataboutism doesn't change the fact, that even if Covid magically disappeared tomorrow. A shit load of new hospitals would still be useful, metal shacks in the arse end of nowhere would still be useless.

I asked a Chinese friend a few weeks ago why China didn't spend all of the money on building hospitals and training doctors instead of these useless quarantine centres. You could see the mental gymnastics at work.

I reminded my DM last night I now have destroy undead at level 5 as we were swarmed by 12 skeletons, that was fun. He forgot about that as he designed that encounter 😅

Most have to be given the privilege of joining, often just being the top of your class at university is enough. My wife is a CCP member but fucking hates them, but whilst you can stop being a member, it paints a pretty big target on your back in your career

I love stuff like this, obviously the competition, but these kinds of 3D models to print. My school just bought my department 3 new 3D printers and I'm the only one who uses them 😅

Atleast they only die from heat exhaustion. Covid death statistics can remain low. Victory achieved. 加油

China's international schools face dire fate if zero-Covid drives away teachers by Playful_Independent7 in shanghai

My school in Ningbo is looking at potentially 20% of students leaving this summer. It's insane.

My school in Ningbo asked us to start a portfolio back in September, just in case. Put it off as a joke, then saw Shanghai and the mass testing of students begun.

Luckily Ningbo has recovered from its blip.

Oh I'm definitely aware there are more fuel efficient cars, I just love my Merc. It got me through most of the races and it sounds absolutely incredible, even detuned to 700 😅

I just wish there was a tuning shop option for extra fuel tank, haha

[–]Mud_Commercial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my radar range on maximum, I know how it works. The problem is the car and set up I use, the fuel lasts 2 laps at fuel 4. If I set the fuel to 6, and I baby it around the track, I can just about manage 3 laps but it's so slow it's not fun anymore. So I have to stop at lap 2, and that's just as the rain comes in. So I have to make a complete guess on the situation.

How to predict the weather in the 700pp Le Man's race when you see the rain clouds coming: 1) If you stay on slicks, the largest monsoon you've ever seen. 2) Swap to inters or wets, barely a drizzle of rain that'll dry up before you exit the pit lane.

Got the same ticket prize turbo 3 times, for a car I couldn't even buy because I never rolled an invitation. by marco768 in granturismo

[–]Mud_Commercial 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it'd be better if it was similar to the car invitation. "You can buy this part for 1 car of your choice" still shitty...but atleast you'll use the part.

Better would be to have the part be free and one time for any car of your choice.

Even better would be to not lock tuning options behind RNG.

The physics in this game are like random blue shells.

As someone who hates online gaming, can I ask how it gives an advantage? As far as I was aware, you just brought your own cars into multiplayer? Which aren't difficult to get?

But who cares if someone abuses a bug to earn money in a mainly single player game? And even then, you can't buy the best tuning parts anyway 😅

Gran Turismo 7 Clean Run Indicator by Obandigo in granturismo

Le Mans 5 lap endurance is my favourite race in the game. And I genuinely don't know if it's possible to get a clean lap.
I've done races where I never hit anyone, never went off the track, never hit a wall, etc and still no clean race. I'm wondering if on the long straight, parts of the tarmac near the edges are considered "off the track"?
