My interruption of this sentence is you should not use the artist's artwork on commercial product/AI training, but reposting is ... mostly prohibited. So, better play safe, its my fault that I do not look at the warning on Pixiv.

Don't you think camera angle in doujin artworks can be a little weird?

There is one particular airline when mentioned by a media outlet always look like this:

Cathay XXXXXX, which is steadily falling in the world's best airline rankings due to poor management......

Rumor says it is due to poor experience the manager of the media outlet had on their airline, so they start calling the airline with long negative description.

However, this sentence should be corrected to as of 2026:

Cafe Pacific, which is steadily rising in the world's best airline rankings and returning to massive profitability due to excellent management....

Its a week since my last post because I am busy with clinical placement, which there is ton of shit (including the real one) happening.

But something I don’t understand is why no one stands by or shuts down the vital signs machine (vital carts) after using it. The low-priority alarm for a disconnected finger sensor is mildly annoying.

There is a type of people you should not anger in a (high-rise building) construction site.

It is the lift operators. If you anger them, you have to use the stairs, until you find a way to favour the lift operators.

its\ SFW?

There is a man ask me if there is a place he can tent nearby.

So I guide him to a beach area that is not managed by the department, as marked on Openstreetmap.

But later, when I walk nearby, I see the area is flooded, probably a terrible place to tent.

To the man I encounter, if you somehow reading this message,

Извините, но Гонконг — не лучшее место для палаток.

He don't speak English.

Bonjour.

I admit I was lazy so I haven't post for days.

Same\ as\ I\ haven't\ post\ any\ on\ c/japanesetrain@lemmy.world

Look there is a fennec.

Speaking of which, I remember the era where firefox fennec (for android) on or before version 68. It is...... somewhat old engine but has unique features that is still not implemented at newer version, especially the queue tab feature. It is useful when someone send tons of links via external message app and you don't have want to open them yet.

I got scolded because I named my file terriblely to be send with the email.

Insteading of naming:

dadadaqtayuajq.docx

I have to use humam readable format:

[student id] _ [name] _ [title of document] _ [date].docx

I named all my files by smashing randomly on my keyboard and I know what the file for.....most of the time. But it work for me, so as my defense, it just don't work for you.

The contract does not mention any about the management system. I believe the IT department would work on it after the switch is installed. It is a pretty weird tender; are they expecting an indoor renovation company to provide networking services?

    TL;DR: Only New Territories is leased for 99 years, remaining part of Hong Kong is ceased. So the statement is partly correct.

    About "China only leased Hong Kong to Britain" is partly correct, and here is why:

    After the first opium war, Hong Kong Island (including Aberdeen Island/Ap Lei Chau and surrounding islands) was cesed to British under Treaty of Nanking, which stated that

    His Majesty the Emperor of China cedes to Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, &c., the Island of Hong-Kong, to be possessed in perpetuity by Her Britannic Majesty, Her Heirs and Successors, and to be governed by such Laws and Regulations as Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, &c., shall see fit to direct.

    Treaty source

    Then, after the second opium war, Kowloon Peninsula was cesed under Convention of Peking, which stated:

    With a view to the maintenance of law and order in and about the harbour of Hongkong, His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of China agrees to cede to Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, and to Her Heirs and Successors, to have and to hold as a dependency of Her Britannic Majesty’s Colony of Hongkong, that portion of the township of Cowloon, in the province of Kwangtung, of which a lease was granted in perpetuity to Harry Smith Parkes, Esquire, Companion of the Bath, a Member of the Allied Commission at Canton, on behalf of Her Britannic Majesty’s Government, by Lau Tsung Kwang, Governor General of the Two Kwang.

    Convention source

    Wikipedia source

    Note: Kowloon Peninsula was leased initially, but latter ceased to British, see cite 1.

    So , the remaining part of Hong Kong, the New Territories, is leased under The Convention Between Great Britain and China Respecting an Extension of Hong Kong Territory , but English translation is not available, so here is a machine translated version:

    After many years of investigation, it was learned that a non-extension site in Hong Kong was not sufficient to defend, and now the Chinese and British governments have agreed on a general plan to expand the British boundary as a new leased land according to the attached map. The detailed demarcation shall be drawn after the two countries have sent personnel to survey and demarcate it, with a deadline of 99 years....

    Convention source

    Wikipedia source

    To sum up, only the New Territories is leased and the remaining part is ceased. For more detail, please read Cession of Hong Kong from wikipedia (Chinese Version only, you may use machine translation)

    The Arrow Incident in 1856 triggered the Second Opium War. On 18 March 1860, the British 44th Regiment occupied Tsim Sha Tsui, and on 20 March the Governor of Liangguang, Lo Chong-guang, agreed to "temporarily lease" Kowloon.
