I had to look up the Chinese city tier system.

The Chinese city tier system (Chinese: 中国城市等级制) is a hierarchical classification of Chinese cities. There are no such official lists in China, as the Chinese government does not publish or recognize an official definition or a list of cities included in the tier system. However, it is frequently referred to by various media publications for purposes including commerce, transportation, tourism, education, and more.[1][2] Given the rapid development of Chinese cities and the ever-changing dynamic among cities, the tier system has gained wide popularity in recent years as a point of reference. Cities in different tiers reflect differences in consumer behavior, income level, population size, consumer sophistication, infrastructure, talent pool, and business opportunity.[3] The tier system typically includes cities in mainland China only.

And if Yan can't do it, they're counting on you, by the way - especially if you live on the West Coast of North America.

What do you mean?

Welcome redditors! :-)

I've seen Hubski mentioned in several popular Reddit threads this week, and I'm glad some of you decided to try it out. Most common questions are answered in the FAQ. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!

That was a very interesting read. Thanks for sharing.

In 1929, some former soldiers of the 339th regiment returned to North Russia to recover the remains of 86 comrades. Forty-five of them are now buried in White Chapel Cemetery near Detroit, surrounding a white statue of a fierce polar bear.

Sign Hubski up as a Flattr creator and it'll get a few bucks from me every month.

Tangentially related:

I must admit I don't have very high thoughts of tabloids.

So what shenanigans did your D&D group get into? :-)

I'm not sure if a physical box could do that, but maybe an app could.

A simpler solution (which sadly won't make you any money) is to get a dumb-phone as a second phone and get a twin SIM card (if your operator offers that service). Leave you smart-phone in your jacket or purse so you can bring it when you leave the house, and use the dumb-phone around the house.

It is a bit ironic, isn't it.

The jet stream that causes these phenomena runs so far south that it rarely affects us directly up here. The British Isles are experiencing an unusually cold winter though.

Northern Norway, just south of the Arctic Circle. It's a comfortable -2 Celsius here.

This has to be intentional, right? John Bolton's idea of a subtle threat, knowing someone would spot it and hoping it would scare Maduro into stepping down on his own accord.

Has any newspapers done a proper analysis of this? Like; does Bolton usually carry around a notebook like that? Does that match his style of taking notes? Is that even his handwriting?

It's finally Eurovision season again! So far three national selections are finished:

Albania is sending this gem:

France is mixing a bit of English into their song this year, hoping for a wider appeal:

Spain's song is kinda fun, even if he doesn't quite hit all the notes:

The Norwegian national selection isn't until March, but the competing songs have been released. I think my favourite is Spirit in the Sky:

That was a brutal read. I'll never be able to see X-Men the same way again.
