@BobSo, I googled miniso ...

Bob

@JourneymanGeek That didn't ping me :P

~220-250ms to the Singaporean server.

Unplayable for proper FPS, but it works fine for prophunt (hide and seek) :P

Journeyman Geek

(tldr: Its a chinese knockoff of multiple japanese stores. Which explains the bullet clones)

Bob

@JourneymanGeek ... miniso? uniqlo? muji?

Journeyman Geek

uniqlo is a clothing store

erm

Most of the ones I can think of arn't aussie ;p

Muji sells random, artistically designed, slightly pricy housewares

Bob

o.O

Journeyman Geek

15:13

miniso is that shop where I saw the bullet knockoffs, and 30 quid bluetooth speakers and stuff like that.

Bob

> there's one opening here in Adelaide, Australia

O_O

@JourneymanGeek that's some damn expensive bluetooth speakers

(for a dodgy knockoff)

Journeyman Geek

Muji

Ryohin Keikaku Co.,Ltd. (株式会社良品計画, Kabushiki-gaisha Ryōhin Keikaku) (TYO: 7453), or Muji (無印良品, Mujirushi Ryōhin) is a Japanese retail company which sells a wide variety of household and consumer goods. Muji is distinguished by its design minimalism, emphasis on recycling, avoidance of waste in production and packaging, and no-logo or "no-brand" policy. The name Muji is derived from the first part of Mujirushi Ryōhin, translated as No Brand Quality Goods on Muji's European website. == Products and businesses == Muji started with 40 products during the 1980s, their products range from stationery...

@Bob they actually looked pretty wellmade dodgy knockoffs

and of course, I just windowshopped ;p

Bob

Logitech x100 was $29 locally. x50 was $23.

Journeyman Geek

(I was more "hey, they have bullet knockoffs here")

Bob

@JourneymanGeek ...there's apparently 3 here

@JourneymanGeek bullet?

Journeyman Geek

15:16

@Bob piston

SOrry got distracted

Bob

> Level 1, 500 George Street, Sydney NSW Australia

O_O

I've probably walked past that...

Journeyman Geek

Muji?

Bob

@JourneymanGeek yea

Wait, no, it's a bit further down the street than I normally go.

Journeyman Geek

I know there's a store here, er... probably on ~~the festering carbuncle~~ Ion Orchard.

Bob

(There's so many shops and shopping centres on and around George St I've actually never seen most of them, let alone gone in.)

Journeyman Geek

15:17

lol

Bob

Funnily enough Muji seems to be smack bang in the middle of the area I don't visit. I've been north and south of it.

Ah, no, it's opposite the QVB. So probably walked past a couple times.

Journeyman Geek

lol

I remember QVB!

Well, from years and years and years ago

Bob

...and the big Officeworks is over the other side, Pitt St.

So I've quite literally been north, south, east and west of that Muji.

Journeyman Geek

lol

Bob

Waiiiiiit a second. It's in the same building as Kinokunyia o.o

Journeyman Geek

15:21

yay kino

Makes sense actually

Bob

So apparently I don't know this city at all -_-

Journeyman Geek

well, not really. The muji here used to be in Seiyu but they closed down

and got replaced by BHG (chinese company)

Bob

> The Galeries[sic]

Well. That explains it.

That place is a bloody maze.

I got lost underground there for 5 mins once -_-

Which is pretty impressive considering the small footprint.

Journeyman Geek

lol

Bob

It's like half a block. A small, mid-CBD block.

> MINISO is an international famous brand of leisure department, she is the blazer and leader in the field of global life superior quality products.

o.o

@JourneymanGeek BHG?

Black Hat Guy? :P

Journeyman Geek

15:24

"Be Here for Good things" Aka "Beijing Heritage Group"

No offence but the chinese mainland sucks at naming things

Bob

Miniso was registered really recently here: abr.business.gov.au/SearchByAbn.aspx?SearchText=49+608+543+719

Journeyman Geek

They should learn from the taiwanese.

Bob

@JourneymanGeek Hm?

Journeyman Geek

for names?

Typically its "City" "some random crap" "industry"

contrast that to say

Foxconn

Bob

o.o

@AngeloFuchs Changing "public keys" to "private keys" is a 180 degrees change in meaning. The two rejections were correct and I would have done the same. For such a drastic change you should have posted a comment for the OP.

@HackToHell Courier is a well known font ;)

@AngeloFuchs I was as careful as needed, your edits did make quite a dramatic change to the meaning of the post and so would have been up to the original poster to approve it. The best way to inform someone of that is via comments.

As a minimum it would have been better to explain in the edit reason why it was 100% obvious that OP meant something else. Public and private keys are not the same thing and you need to give a damn good reason to reviewers when you make that sort of drastic change, even if OP does later confirm "oh yeah, I did mean that".

I rejected because without knowing exactly when OP was going to be around then it is better to err on the side of caution than let a potentially harmful edit through.

To summarise: Sorry, not sorry.

@DavidPostill I kinda wish I had the time, money, and patience to do photography of this sort.

I have a sports photography job later tonight, but my equipment pales in comparison to what these pros use.

A couple years back, I actually had the audacity to ask my mom to lend about $20k for a pro-grade Canon setup (EOS-1D X, EOS 5D Mark III, several professional L lenses, Speedlites, etc.). Of course, the request was declined.

The Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS II USM lens runs about $11,500.

$20k isn't enough.

A full wildlife photography kit including all the key lenses needed would cost about $30k to $40k.

Photography is very expensive, even as a hobby. We've invested more than $8k in camera equipment and related expenses over the last five years.

Do I start doing photography as a full-time job? Only time will tell.

There's plenty of basketball games to shoot in January, during which I have no classes.

@DavidPostill we've seen this one before in here :P
