Why Has the Video of the Hong Kong Protester Being Shot Not Made Mainstream News?

Perhaps because some western news are somewhat biased and not keen to show evidence against Hong Kong protesters/rioters? The video youre referring to seems to show the circumstances of the shooting, described in the answers by Mr. Singer, Mr.

Cawley and Mr. Mitchell to this question in a straightforward way.I have even seen messages from the protesters/rioters asking each other not to forward the said video clip.

The messages are in Chinese and contain foul language so they are not fit to be published at a public forum.As the matter will likely be investigated lets suspend discussion until more is known.

What have you done when a waitress said your tip was not big enough?

I told her exactly why the tip was low, in this case that there was a mistake on the bill, and that she had also failed to mention that there was an additional charge when she asked if I wanted my Coke refilled.

She then claimed that she didnt make out the bill, and so wasnt responsible for the mistake, to which I replied that if she wanted better tips, she should review customer bills to ensure they are correct.On another occasion my waitress disappeared for a long period, then when she reappeared she stank of cigarette smoke, so I left her a note suggesting she should do her smoking at home and use a nicotine patch or gum while at work, if she wanted better tips.

I have fallen in love with a girl, but she has a boyfriend.

What do I do?

Thanks for the A2A. It looks like you have received some good advice and have wisely decided to leave her alone.

When a girl brings up the fact that she has a boyfriend out to the blue or when you ask her out, she is trying to tell you that she isn't interested in you and is taken, the delete from FB is also indicating she doesn't want to talk to you. It's possible she felt uncomfortable when you continued to ask her out or chat with her on FB, or it could just be that she wants to give you a very clear message. Either way, you have no choice but to leave her alone and go about your life, you will certainly meet other women and eventually you will probably find someone who is as interested in you as you are in her

What are some of the best bands that feature two lead singers?

There are lots of great bands that feature two singers who work as a duo. They often sing close or tight harmony, like the Everly Brothers or the Bee Gees. The Beatles had two of the greatest rock singers of all time in the same band and they used their duo talents generously and brilliantly over the years.

They were possibly the greatest rock harmony group. However, I have another favorite I want to mention. I always enjoyed the vocal approach of The Jefferson Airplane when Marty Balin and Grace Slick shared lead vocals.

Their voices were distinct, and they didnt really harmonize as much as they interwove their vocals, alternating, singing over each other, and sharing the vocal space as equals. It created a great effect and was completely original. I thought it was great.

YMMV

Can pit bulls be trusted around kids?

It depends on the dog. Just like people have different personalities and qualities so do dogs.

It also depends on their training, socialization, etc.I have two pit bulls. One of them is the sweetest, snuggliest, gentlest dog ever.

The other one not soo much. Hes obedient and loyal, but a bit averse to new situations and people. Now, they both had the same training and loving environment but they are just different.

The first one I would trust with children, hands down. The second one, no. Hes not mean or aggressive however children are loud, jumpy, and unpredictable.

Which would make him unpredictable. And that is not a risk Id be willing to take.But I dont think this a pit problem.

It is a dog problem

Is it better to live in a big powerhouse country or a small neutral country?

Small neutral countries spend their tax money on the citizens rather than on a big military and the militaryu2019s suppliers. They also donu2019t get into diplomatic shouting matches and one-upmanship that make their citizens unwelcome, or even targets, when they go overseas.

Nobody targets the Swiss or the Swedes when they travel. If youu2019re the kind of person who is comforted by knowing that your country has a big military, youu2019ll prefer the powerhouse. If youu2019re the kind of person who prefers that their country stay out of stupid wars and unnecessary conflict, youu2019ll prefer the small neutral country.

Best of all is when a powerhouse is led by someone who doesnu2019t use its power to bully other countries, but concentrates purely on self-defense.

What is a virtue that is missing in today's world?

One virtue that literally has disappeared from current society is an ancient Greek virtue known as sophrosyne.

Sophrosyne is basically a mashup of temperance, modesty and contentment with what one has. It was a highly regarded trait in ancient Greece, something all should strive for. I guess it's kind of similar to self-actualization.

What I find interesting is the clash between sophrosyne's belief that one should find satisfaction in one's best-fit place in society, and current society's more competitive ideals of striving for the most esteemed positions. Honestly I think a reintroduction of sophrosyne could resolve a lot of the angst that comes from the pressure to attain top-notch jobs.Here's a link discussing the virtue: http://home.

earthlink.net/dbscr/Sophros.htmPlato had a dialogue written up discussing what defines sophrosyne: http://en.

If the voltage is already correct for the LED, why does there have to be a resistor in series with the LED?

Think from the perspective of slowly increasing the voltage from zero.

The LED will not conduct until the Forward Barrier Voltage is exceeded (lets say 2.0 volts).As the voltage increases there is effectively, resistance of the LED, since this effective resistance is very large there is no current (I E/R).

Once the Forward Barrier Voltage is exceeded, the resistance effectively drops to zero or very close to zero once this happens the amount of current flowing in the LED is very large (I E/ R), The amount fo current flowing, will very quickly (instantly) burn out the LED.Therefore, the resistor in series with the LED is there to provide CURRENT LIMITING, as most resistors in Series with a device. The resistor LIMITS the amount fo current to a safe value for the device.

Why don't bikes have a gear indicator?

I've ridden bikes with and without this facility, and I don't ever remember making one shift because of seeing what was indicated. One rides by feel.

If I feel I could shift up and lower the engine revolutions, I shift up. If I feel I need more power for acceleration or use the engine for slowing down, I shift down. It's as simple as that.

I could say this of the tachometer too in most cases. There's enough of a tactile and audible "scream" from the engine to know when it's revving too high.That said, there are many bikes that do have gear indicators!

Some unique ones too, built in, like on the Suzuki Zeus and Slingshot:Page on motorbeam. comYou can also install an aftermarket device for this:Motorcycle Universal Gear Indicator

What is Donald Trumpu2019s responsibility in what has led to the chaos and destruction due to the protests for George Floyd?

In order to hate, one must objectify your opponents.

He has done this at every opportunity, reducing American citizens to labels in stead of offering constructive criticism. He believes the best way to lead is to make those under him try to kill each other. Hes fired his own staff left and right and encouraged competition at every level.

This is the example he hopes to lead America in, and theyre following.Through incompetence or intent, he has led the nation directly to this point. In other answers about the election in November, I previously said that there would be no elections because he would declare war on one of the countries we were already at war with.

Now that we have civil unrest, its more likely he will declare the ineptly-defined antifa as The Real Enemy and declare martial law because of that

Could Britain possibly have defeated Germany during World War Two had the U.S. and Soviet Union both remained neutral?

If the US remained neutral, that would mean Japan never bombed Pearl Harbour. It would still mean Britain won battle of Britain, as the US had nothing to do with it. However, the Normandy landings wouldve been different.

Probably only British and Canadian soldiers would fight in it (since Canada was part of the British empire).For Russia to go neutral is impossible. Hitler hated Stalin and Stalin hated Hitler.

There would be no peace between the two, since Germany really wanted to invade Russia. Since Germany was known for invading neutral countries, at the time, Russia would never remain neutral.The US remaining neutral would also mean no nukes on Japan.

Russia would possibly deal with them to surrender, if Britain doesn't bomb the hell out of their cities.

Is an LED power supply safe?

LED lamps dont require a whole lot of voltage (viz battery powered LED flashlights), but most people want to power LED lamps from house ac outlets which run at 115vac in the USA, higher elsewhere.

Cheap power supply devices for that have scant framework and grounding conventions, so when working with them ALWAYS have an ac voltmeter handy to check the voltage between the framework (that you would handle) and a REAL ground. Water pipes, the framework of existing light fixtures, or in a pinch, the third contact in most ac receptacles are handy items for that. If said voltage is more than 3 volts ac, attach an external ground wire to that frame.

If you dont know how to do that, get someone with electrical knowledge to do that for you, or dont be fiddling with receptacle powered circuitry that you dont understand

Did steam trains ever explode?

Yes if the boiler overheated and ran out of water. It was quite catastrophic.

The last such incident in Germany happened in Bitterfeld in 1977.The 01 15162 before the accident . a powerful express steam locomotive, the pride of the late steam age.

And after. Everything above the wheels went to pieces.9 dead, 45 injured.

The locomotive was out of water. It is assumed that a miscommunication between the driver and fireman caused the accident. The locomotive had to be refilled with coal and water quickly because the train was delayed.

Somehow they seem to have forgotten to take water.As a safety precaution, a fusible plug was installed; this should extinguish the fire with the remaining water in case of overheating. But it didnt work even though the locomotive was relatively fresh out of a revision.

What is the UK government's Brexit policy?

Brexit is BrexitA Red, White and Blue BrexitTo have our cake and eat it.Apart from that, we do not know and it looks very much as though they do not know either.

We do know what they want, which is membership of the Single Market without free movement of people, and they have been told many times that they arent going to get it because it is a contradiction in terms. It is also clear that the three Brexiteers, Johnson, Fox and Davis, dont agree between themselves. Johnson is a fraud who knows perfectly well we are better off Remaining, Davis is an idiot and Fox is a crook.

May is also hoping against hope that the cake-and-eat-it option, Single Market with free movement of everything except people, is achievable.
