Re:Hong Kong: UK makes citizenship offer to residents on Wednesday July 01, 2020 @10:54AM (#23702022)
> About 350,000 UK passport holders, and 2.6 million others eligible, will be able to come to the UK for five years.

Hong kong has a population of over 7 mil so this is less than half. What's the criteria for this chance at a uk citizenship?

I found a good video about the special passports given to hong kong from the uk. It is a bit complicated but this video seems to summarise the important bits quite well.[1]

They have ads on autodesk sketchbook? When I had an android phone I paid for it and they made it free a few months later. Now I am on iphone and even the free apps have much less ads.

Funny I read about this place in r/india a few times and they seem to regard it as a racist hippie colony.

I really hope that is the future. Plant based meat or just proper free range farms and hunting I guess. Industrial meat production is too cruel and just another pandemic waiting to happen.

a gun is a sophisticated weapon? I though you could make one with a metal pipe, nail and springs; provided you have access to cartridges. could be wrong though.

Many legal sex workers have been hit by the takedown of sites like Backpage(1) and its sister cracker(2). These sites were the primary sources to advertise or find their services. It was heavily used by independent sex workers.

What do you mean exactly?
Personal story: I once remember seeing a spider in my childhood, as huge as an elephant, with its web spanning two large trees. I am sure I saw it, without a doubt. But my conscience says that it's simply impossible.

I kept on telling my dad this story when I was a kid and he didn't believe it. But when I told it a long time later on, he too thinks he might have seen it.

Maybe he formed those memories from my story.

Judging by the up-votes this post got, I'd say it probably is normal.
For some reason, I find it getting harder to find relevant pictures using google images. It almost always messes up what I want by showing the most popular / vaguely relevant / search history based something.
