On some level I agree with the sentiment that China’s military power aspirations seem to be primarily regional with soft power as we zoom out I would argue for “Don’t listen what leaders say, watch what they do”.

You don’t build giant landing craft unless you consider a marine landing warfare scenario as credible. You don’t build aircraft carriers unless you care about power projection. You don’t need ballistic missiles unless your enemies are far away. All of these things cost money you could otherwise spend on keeping your citizens happy.

There are a lot of verifiable and expensive signals about China’s power posture transitioning towards a more expeditionary one. Now, they might end up carrying the big stick and speaking softly, which is better for everyone – even if the PRC ends up getting their way – but that just means the hard power lever was used in a different way.

I woke up my whole family in the middle of the night to watch it.

Go stand with your phone where you’d expect to place the extender.

If it gets a strong signal, you are probably fine.

I at least still seem to use my wifi analyser just fine. Maybe it’s your jurisdiction?

In the rest of the world, we have air cushions too in our chip bags.

They don’t need to be 75% of the volume to work.

I have not read many other Trek books, any I should get my hands on?

I don’t know what the most prestigious journal is in linguistics is (and I eill be disappointed if it is not called The Tongue), but I feel this paper deserves to be there.

Edit: apparently they are called: Linguistics Syntax and Journal of Linguistics

Imaginative bunch, this is.

Since you are obviously a being of culture, let me recommend ‘A stitch in time’ if you haven’t read it.

It was written and read (as audiobook) by Andrew Robinson, the man who played Garak.

The audiobook especially is wonderful if you are a Garak aficionado.
