You don't wanna know what happens if you end up guessing right.

Ye see, I've been reading a book called "Cambodia 1975-1982" by Michael Vickery (you can find its pdf), and needless to say, its goal is to:

prove{s} that the truth {of 'Democratic Kampuchea'} was much more complex than the situation as portrayed by anti-Communist Western media, by pro-revolutionary sympathizers, or by the regime itself, and would dishearten all three of those groups.

In the first half, it talks about how D.K Cambodia was split between 2 main power-holding sections, East Zone and Northwest (Viet-allied and gradualist) and Southwest (Anti-Viet, chauvinist), and the Southwest one led by Pol Pot won and purged the rest...

1975-1977 wasn't that bad (more or less attempted economic recovery), but 1977-1979 was Pol Pot's purge time we all know and hate...

Besides that, it talks of People's Republic of Kampuchea from 1979-1982...

I reached this section over here:

Children's work in the old days though was accompanied by much fun and play, as the elephant dung story clearly indicates; and the suppression of fun and play is one of the things which distinguished DK invidiously from pre-revolutionary Cambodia.

Among the comments accompanying the children's drawings was the account of a boy who had worked minding water buffalo, a typical children's chore in Cambodia. He told of being punished twice in one day, once for allowing the animal to run away, also typical, but once for laughing and joking while at work, which for Cambodia was entirely aberrant.

Thoughts on this book, or just on D.K Cambodia?

I love cheap instant noodles myself...

I noticed this was also asked 4 years ago but I'm asking again anyways.

What about you chapos?

How do I get it?

It seems like they're all really expensive, with most halfway decent ones being over $1000. It also seems like they're really finicky and hard to get working consistently.

Are there any 3d printers that are actually a refined product, something you can just get and start using? I don't want to spend most of my time fiddling with the settings and having to buy a ton of upgrades in the hopes of getting it to be a functional machine that can actually be used to print out parts.

If there are any out there that are basically self-maintaining or highly automated in terms of configuring themselves correctly, is it only the really expensive ones, or are there more affordable sort of "get and forget" printers that you can just set up and start using?

Specifically I'm unable to change my keyboard input language when in the app, emojis don't always work, and there is no way to use hexbear emojis in app.

If there is an app or there that solves these issues I'm all for it

Looking for a good quality pair of over ear headphones to listen to music and podcasts on my bus and train home. I've got a big ass head so something adjustable and preferably Bluetooth. My budget is $150 or so.

Who's up?

How would you use this nose?

Genuinely curious

A mystery wound is any unexplained cut/bruise/scar/scab/injury about your body.

A Chinese communist news site full of happy news is called Sixth Tone.

Another is China's official newspaper, People's Daily.

I love what I've read on there, but I tend to barely read articles. And please, if you spot an podcast in English on one of these sites, let me know!

It's started giving all kinds of reccomendation bs, including firefox extensions and shit. Wth? Is this new?

Westoids have suddenly started saying /kiv/, which alone makes me want to say /kiːɛv/, like my parents always said.

Neither is even the endonym, which is more like /kɪjiu̯/

Since a few days, im unable to watch any youtube videos with any foss clients(Tubular, NewPipe, etc...), is that a consequence of youtube starting to do ads injections ?

Edit : Libretube seems to work, thanks to thoses who mention it.

Any tips or ideas on choosing a final year project? I need to do a project to graduate from computer engineering, currently having a hard time finding what to do, I'm really in blank and have anxiety I don't know what I could do.
