    That was a different ipad Charlie. That was a 3800 RMB ipad. This is a 3600 ipad.

    This is a sales event. Limited time only. While supplies last.

    If you have any bandwidth left, I would love a piece of that action too.

    My last vpn – also bestowed by your generous hand I should mention – has not been working.

    I would like to hop on this moochtrain, destination benefitsville. And if ponying up a couple sheckles for the service in the future is in the cards… I may be able to wrap my head around that possibility also.

    @ Charlie… theres something I have been meaning to tell you.

    ‘You are a bastard. A daughter fucking wildling bastard!’

    As a side note, you put sawdust in your bread, which is a questionable culinary choice.

    Speaking of China’s internet, there is a good podcast about it on Sinica this week, (though it tackles the cultural and regulatory angles as opposed to the technical): http://popupchinese.com/lessons/sinica/gady-epstein-on-the-internet.

    The guest on the podcast is Gady Epstein, the writer behind the recent Economist special section on the internet in China: http://www.economist.com/news/special-report/21574628-internet-was-expected-help-democratise-china-instead-it-has-enabled

    That seems like a reasonable price. I don’t have the time to take up studying right now, but if I come across anyone who is interested, I will send them your way.

    I hate how you can only get knock-off fire in China.

    Listen folks. If you are having trouble with your washing machine, get that washing machine translated.

    If necessary, get your cooking fire translated too.

    I think youre better off to set a price per person upfront, and just hustle to get the numbers that you need to cover the costs. People will be more willing to rsvp for it if they know how much it will cost.

    I would probably attend.

    I think you are likely to get more replies if you just list your price.

    Lately Ive been banging this heavy:

    http://www.mixtapetorrent.com/nickelus-f-vices

    Be advised: this mixtape dwells on drug use a lot, so don’t expect conscious hip hop here. That being said, the beats dope, and the raps are snapping.

    Standout tracks are:

    Tanqueray

    My 3Rd Cuzzin

    A Bird

    @Zharahk – The Mooneys event will have the US stream – the NFL is actually sanctioning the event (and providing a few lucky draw prizes) – so it will definitely have the US commercials, as well as the US commentary.

    A guy on my soccer team reached out to me yesterday looking for some work. He is a very nice guy from Nepal, studying medicine at Sichuan University. His English is pretty flawed, so I don’t think that I can get him any teaching work.

    Maybe he would be willing to take care of your cats for a little bit of money.

    I don’t know if he would be interested. I don’t know if he could take the cats at his place, or if he would want to stay at your place, or just stop by and feed them, but maybe you guys could work something out.

    Ive known him for a year or two, and I can attest that he is a very very nice person. I would go so far as to say that he has a beatific disposition.

    If you want some references, some other user of the forums who know this guy, and can attest to his upstandingness are Seabass and AM.

    If you’re interested, let me know, and I will reach out to him.

    This is not really a ‘true friendship between genders’ question.

    This is more of a ‘does he like me?’ and/or a ‘do I like him?’ question.

    The answer to the ‘is there true friendship between genders’ question is, as Billy correctly put it, yes, as long as there is no attraction. That does not seem to apply in this case.

    The answers to the questions ‘does he like me?’ and/or a ‘do I like him?’ are not things that strangers on the internet are well positioned to answer for you, but the likely answers seem to be yes, and yes.

    Chase him down and kiss him, and see what happens… and then let us know!

    Let me pass the mic to the Nasir Jones of this stream of consciousness Chinese street poetry shit… Fred Dintenfass, of the blog 10tonfunk:

    Standing in the freezing courtyard of a Daoist temple

    listening to Jay Z

    mean muggin young peasant extras and feeling bad

    drinking Italian coffee out of a tupperware cup covered in stickers

    breath hanging in the air like the bags under actresses eyes

    Can no longer tell what’s a set and what’s history

    Dark sides of meat hanging off the ribs of a panel truck

    A corner electronics store offering a shiny display of rice cookers

    to a dead street and a bend in the highway

    Jackie Chan ad smiling down upon the folly

    One child slogans painted on brick walls and houses

    mixed with ads for car repair, cell phone stores

    Life with one baby is so much better

    Those that can afford to have built their own houses

    studded with bizarre tile patterns, motley assortments of columns and balconies

    a decorator’s catalog thrown into the air

    scraped off the floor and shuffled into a floor plan

    ample meterage for an Evita-style serenade

    The countryside still wriggling in Deng’s embrace

    a short man with a long reach

    More poems of his can be found here.
