Rice by Su Tong. I remember being entranced by the beauty of the prose, or rather, this translation. But I remember thinking that Western publishing houses will only translate novels from authors who depict China in a depressing light. Back then that's all the novels available in English from China.
The Chinese tradition has all kinds of novels, among them adventure and mystery stories, and I wished that the West would touch more on those. It's only in recent years that they have explored unique Chinese genres like wuxia (Louis Khoo).

EBIKES AND SCOOTERS CONTINUE SEEING SUCCESS IN WR
In the spring of 2023, Neuron Mobility launched a transportation program utilizing orange e-scooters and e-bikes in the Waterloo Region. Residents were given access to these shared modes of environmentally friendly electric vehicles. The program has found success within the region—it offers a quick alternative to driving cars around Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge.
Statistics from the spring, summer and fall of 2023 demonstrate positive results, including a total of 46,000 riders; 190,000 trips; 360,000 kilometers ridden; $8.2 million poured into the Waterloo Region economy and 12 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions saved, which is the equivalent of 192 mature trees.
The Waterloo Region is in the process of building a sustainable transportation network. These e-scooters and e-bikes are an affordable transportation option that makes sense for all types of inner-city travel, leisure rides and short trips transporting a person from their home to their workplace or school. Riders can use e-scooters or e-bikes to get from their homes to an ION or bus stop. Travelers can access an e-bike or e-scooter at a particular point in the region and then ride it and drop it off at a completely different part of town.
Colleen James, regional councillor for the City of Kitchener, said the idea of introducing Neuron e-scooters and e-bikes into the region made sense for many reasons, including the reduction of community-wide greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. This reduction is a climate goal set by the Region of Waterloo. Using low-carbon transportation is a strategy to reach this goal by 2030.
“The benefit to this program is that it was not going to cost us anything, so there is no cost to taxpayers. This is literally a partnership (between the Region and Neuron Mobility) to promote more active transportation,” James said.
James went on to say that this program allows for more options for travel within our region.
“The Region of Waterloo is Canada’s only multi-jurisdiction shared micromobility program…The success of the program can be attributed to a number of factors including the fantastic work of our municipal partners and the enthusiasm for the service from our riders across the Region,” Isaac Ransom, head of corporate affairs for Neuron Mobility, Canada said.
Neuron Mobility also has e-scooters and e-bikes in 17 cities across Canada, including Ottawa, Brampton, Vaughan, Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Saskatoon and Regina. Since the launch of these programs in 2021, riders of Neuron e-scooters and e-bikes have travelled over nine million kilometres.
To rent and ride an e-scooter or an e-bike, simply download the Neuron Mobility app and follow the instructions. A person must be at least 16 years old to rent the equipment.
The cost is approximately $2,000 per year for active use. From an environmental point of view, this is a reasonable cost compared to the cost of running a car for a year.
James, with many others, sees a bright future with the continuous utilization of e-bikes and e-scooters within the Waterloo Region.

@hanktank61 @liztai
I was part of an online running (Dead Runners Society) forum for 20+ years and have met my Dead Friends in a lot of locations. I'll be travelling to meet some in Eugene, OR on my spring #roadtip this year. I also was part of #couchsuring and hosted 50+ people during my stay in #Vietnam. I've kept up contact with some of my surfers for a long time.
You should definitely visit #koreatown with your nephew and a visit to a #JjinJilBang would be a great shared experience! -
Puzzled. Usually the LRT is packed at 9am. Did I miss the holiday? Has a work from home order been imposed? Or is this train going to stop halfway and throw us out lol
Anyway, due to the energy crisis I am taking public transport more. But that's pretty normal for me. I only drive around where I live and long distances I take public transport.
I am going to Penang today. Usually I will fly but I decided to take the train to Penang instead. I am concerned about flight delays and cancellations when I return.
On the whole, life is pretty normal in Malaysia, however. The govt has told civil servants to wfh, the amount of subsidised fuel a Malaysian can take had been reduced. Otherwise no rush or massive queus at the petrol station and none have run out.

To be honest I don't really need a gym for a tough strength training workout. Did circuit bodyweight training today and it about killed me 🥵
I reserve these workouts for days I know I can't make it to the gym.

@liztai #Hevy is the best I’ve found. It’s the spiritual successor to #Strong and has active development by people who actually use the app. Highly recommend. https://www.hevyapp.com/

Ok I am pleased that my investing strategy is almost exactly like his. 😁
I made a decision early on to invest in VT (global stocks) vs the more popular VOO because...I follow #geopolitics. (In fact that's one of the reasons why I keep up to date - to make financial decisions.)
I also invested in gold, something I sniffed at due to the movements I observed in the market and in geopolitics. And also hold more cash now for the same reason.
I am honestly a boring investor. I don't invest in shares well so I just stick to boring ETFs 🤭

Lmao burst out laughing when poor Dinesh saw Gabe.
"F**king Gabe!"
Sigh I miss Silicon Valley. Just about the only show that could make me laugh.
When you work in tech, and am a tech nerd yourself, you just know these people are real 😆

Empires rise, empires fall. But when the veneer of civilization cracks, how do we hold onto our humanity?
Watching Swords into Plowshares feels less like entertainment and more like a warning. We seem trapped in the same historical loops, hoping this time the chaos resolves faster.
The characters in Swords into Plowshares whisper for Tài Píng Nián—"Peaceful Years." It's a wish that echoes loudly today.

Dear gawd I know Google Translate can be dire, but man this is the most dire I've seen yet lol!

#刘学义终于切大号了##源仲终于切大号了# 《念无双》剧情的发展节奏还是很快速的呀，这次刘学义出演的源仲终于切大号了，有狐族大祭司源仲终于可以上线了！ 热剧观察的微博视频Anyway, the translation (according to Deep Seek) is:
#Liu Xueyi Finally Switches to His Main Account# #Yuan Zhong Finally Switches to His Main Account# The plot development of A Moment But Forever is really fast-paced! This time, Liu Xueyi's character Yuan Zhong has finally switched to his main account, and the high priest of the fox tribe, Yuan Zhong, is finally making his appearance! [Hot Drama Watch's Weibo video]"切大号" (qiē dà hào) literally means "switch to main account" - a gaming/metaphorical term referring to a character revealing their true/powerful identity. Yup, if you've seen the episode this came from you'd get it. LOL
There's a lot of slang on Weibo, and relying on Google Translate could literally get you the opposite meaning of what the poster is trying to say.
