Ha ha — don’t be fooled by my nickname, I am Chinese, too. How do you think I know about that :-D

I hope (wish) it’s from a reputed travel agency. What people should be wary of is that the agency won’t just sell you to a local agency there. This happens A LOT in the Chinese community when it comes to traveling to the Mainland China. The agency there will then focus more on “persuading” people to buy from the…

It sort of works — here’s a recent story my gym trainer told me. He was ridding on a bike and stopped by a police officer asking if he had his license with him. As far as he knew, there’s no law requiring that, but he’s black and learned that not to argue. Unfortunately, he forgot to bring his license that day. Just…

Since you are ok with drinking butter + coconut oil + coffee (as the nutritionist stated, it’s full of high saturated fats), I am going to present you an equally unhealthy, but bulletproof diet — 3 Sausage McMuffin with Eggs from McDonald’s a day. First of all, it is unhealthy and contains quite a bit of saturated…

I would recommend not buying any refurbished laptops nowadays, unless you know for sure that the so called “refurbished” process replace the internal hard drive or SSD drive with a new one. The lifespan of a drive is rather short, and the more it is used, the less time it has left. The problem is, you don’t know how…

>> If you’re in a line with no one behind you then you’re apparently four times as likely to decide that a line next to you might be a better bet and jump ship.

One advice for hobbyist turn professional — sometimes, you just have to let go. As a hobbyist, we often try to perfect things. That’s fine for hobby. But in business, sometimes you are not the one in control. May be your client is commissioning you to work on something. There is a budget, and there is a deadline. On…

It all sounds good, until ... I found that many cars made in the last decade or so have one problem — when I open the window and drive, I would hear some unbearable vibrating sound. I recalled that my first couple cars did not have this problem. So, something must change. May be it’s the material or mechanism of the…

Well, there are still Chinese who don’t know that Keanu Reeves is partially Chinese. Some even insist he’s not after hearing the truth by saying, “Look at his last name!”

Oh ohh oh ohh! I can’t wait to say this ... PikaPOOL!

It could just be cost related — from an administrative standpoint, it would be easier to streamline their insurance offerings. More variations, more training, more works, etc.

Another thing to keep in mind is that your nail clipper matters, A LOT. And, no, those from your 99 cents store does not work. I didn’t believe that until 2 years ago. I had a trip to Japan, and I lost my clipper. So, I went out to a local 7-11 and bought the cheapest clipper I could find. It’s cheap, but I didn’t…

I cut down my rice consumption (all kind of rices) for a couple years, and trust me, as a Chinese, it is a big deal because everyone older than you would insist that without consuming rice, *** (fill in the blank) will happen (and Donald Trump will be the President). Friends of mine are as dramatic, they switched to…

When I cook something like you do (refrigerated then fry), I always have a dilemma — by the time the meat is ready, do I already fully cook it? I mean, say in your case, 10 minutes is a pretty long time. Would you wings be fully cooked even if they weren’t sous vide-d?

Almost every men I’ve ever seen in my neighborhood LA Fitness took showers. That’s regardless of their races and ages. And yes, a whole bunch of them are black guys. But I have nothing to say about the white men over 50 walking around with their hanging penises because that is exactly what I have observed, too. At…

As I was reading your article, I felt something wasn’t right. No, I get what you are saying, and I wholeheartedly agree that you are right that the authors and many small players in the industry deserve their cut of profit. I thought and thought, and then I knew what I was having problem with. The consumers shouldn’t…

Regarding the Pixelbook’s price. Personally, I also found it too expensive. However, the original Pixel Chromebook (2013) was priced at $1299. So, the price actually did come down a bit, to the 2015 Pixel Chromebook level. Plus, this time, it runs Android apps. Now, if one agrees that the value of a XL Android tablet…

I am sorry, but I think this is exactly what “No Haggle” is. From the consumer’s perspective, the car is the same and why isn’t the price the same. But, unless we all pay MSRP, a dealer’s price always reflect what the dealer is willing to accept. There are thousands of reasons why the dealer refused to sell you the…

Assuming you’ve already paired it to your car’s Bluetooth, usually you could trigger Google Assistant by pressing on a button from your steering wheel (not all cars have that, but many do).

I always recommend my friends to buy studio monitor speakers. For one, if you like to tweak the EQ, you’d better start with something that was designed to have flat response to begin with. On top of that, at relatively similar quality, I found that studio monitors are often cheaper than stereo loudspeakers. I guess…
