Randy W Posted July 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) Regular western style sandwich bread is also now much more widely available. I managed to buy all the ingredients to make some pretty decent french toast myself. ( those are raisins in the bread) The video is about the older style of "Asian bread". Their "Asian bread" is VERY soft pastry bread like in the video, but their french bread (known as "Vietnamese bread", thanks to the bahn mi sandwiches) is more like baseball bats. from Goldthread Asian Bread Really Is Different. Here’s Why. Edited July 1, 2023 by Randy W (see edit history) 1 Link to comment

Randy W Posted July 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 On 7/14/2023 at 3:44 AM, Randy W said: Why do young Chinese love wheelchairs? from LeisRealTalk New mode of transport: able-bodied young people in China swap e-bikes for electric wheelchairs to dodge tightened road rules Able-bodied young people have found a new way to commute in bustling southern city of Guangzhou Move to wheelchairs backed by some online but others deride the transport switch as ‘sick’ and ‘unrealistic’ from the SCMP The phenomenon has turned the spotlight on the standard of road infrastructure in big cities. Photo: YouTube/@videoupper Quote Guangzhou is set to execute several new regulations to crack down on the proliferation of e-bikes. The vehicles had been illegal in the city until 2021, when e-bike number plate registration was first allowed, according to Chinese online outlet Dingduan News. Since then, the number of e-bikes has exploded to an estimated five million in the city of 18.7 million meaning that one in nearly four people rides one. . . . The handful of video clips going viral included those of abled people commuting in electric wheelchairs, and another showing a Guangzhou delivery rider carrying an e-bike on his shoulder. Official news outlet The Paper claimed that the clips were “gimmicks”, uploaded by online influencers and wheelchair sellers to piggyback on the city’s most trending topic. A medical apparatus shop owner in Guangzhou said a powerchair commute was “unrealistic”. “They are slower than normal bikes, and cannot be taken on subway trains or buses easily,” the shop owner, surnamed Liao, told a local TV station. The best-selling electric wheelchair online can only reach speeds of up to 6km/h. But then, they are not subject to traffic regulations for either motorised or non-motorised vehicles. Link to comment

Read more: https://ow.ly/iQSZ50PtLy9 Posted by Sixth Tone on Sunday, August 13, 2023 Click-Clack Chic: The Art of Building the Perfect Keyboard With every component tailored to their liking, tech-savvy youth in China aspire to express themselves through custom-made keyboards. Quote Newcomers eager to build their own custom keyboards will discover an infinite array of choices. Starting with the keyboard PCB (printed circuit board) and case, materials range from the traditional choices like plastic, wood, and acrylic to more premium options like aluminum alloy, bronze, and even titanium alloy. Then keyboard users move on to the switch mounting plate and stabilizers, both of which can be tailored. When it comes to switches, they can seek a linear and smooth switch, a tactile bump with every keypress, or a pronounced click of each stroke. Keycaps add another layer of personalization, with different designs, heights, and materials. Users can also customize the coating of the keyboard to create a metallic finish, a refined solid coating, or a subtle translucent effect to their liking. . . . Most production runs are limited: Studios place orders with factories to manufacture the exact number of keyboards needed. In a few weeks, users receive their limited-edition keycaps and can begin building their personalized keyboards. The price of assembling these custom keyboards can range anywhere from 100 yuan to over 100,000 yuan ($14-$14,000), according to Ah Qiu, a keyboard enthusiast and blogger who asked to be identified by his screenname on the lifestyle platform Xiaohongshu. The industry is relatively young — Ah Qiu dates its emergence to around 2018 — and mainly consists of people working in three areas: design, publicity, and after-sale service. The studios may be run by as few as one designer or as many as hundreds of people. But most design studios in China are small and need to outsource their production to factories. Link to comment
