Today I learned that Taiwan has 5 branches of government. Aside from Executive, Legislative and Judicial Branches there's the Examination Yuan which validates qualifications of civil servants and the Control Yuan which is an investigative branch that audits, evaluates and prosecutes govt officials. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gov…

[NEWS] Examination Yuan records highest ever score on a government examination!

The Examination Yuan is one of the 5 branches of the Republic of China's government. It's purpose is to administer the civil service and military officer examinations to secure the brightest students for government. This system is inherited from the Qing Dynasty, and the imperial examinations system itself dates back to the Han Dynasty, over 2000 years ago.

One male student, reportedly of Han ethnicity, who can not be named for privacy purposes, achieved a perfect score on the imperial examinations. A full score of 100% is completely unprecedented in the Republican era and has not been recorded since the height of the imperial era. Some have said that the last person to truly ace the exams was Su Tung-po, all the way back in the Song Dynasty!

The President of the Examination Yuan, Yuan Tze-Yu, has listed the great success as her proudest moment in the Examination Yuan. President Yuan is due to retire next year and her successor, Chung Tai-Kuo, has already been announced.

The student has reportedly been offered a free choice of any government civil service post in any of the 5 branches he wishes to choose. Although we cannot be certain rumours say the President herself has asked for him to be put into the Office of the President. What we can be certain of it that wherever the un-named student goes, he will surely meet success.

The first person that reached 90 pity on the CN server was found today

The chance of reaching 90 pity is 1in 13m, CN community set a bounty of 2000 yuan(300 dollars) searching for the first person who reached 90 pity on 18/2/21, some tried to cheat the bounty, but they failed the examination. Today, they found the real person who reached 90 pity for the first time on CN server, that person won the bounty.

Just to show you how slim the chance is to reach 90 pity. I saw quite a lot of people who claimed they reached 90 pity on Reddit, I wonder how many of them were legitimate...

source: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1AR4y1J78E

Edit: I forgot to mention his 90 pity was Raiden, It seems the electro archon has a favorite:)

Edi2: Paimon.moe is good for big data, but people can tamper with their wish files(excel files) if they use the PC local option to upload their data.

Edit 3: More tidbits about the bounty: During 239 days of the bounty hunt, 1093 people tried to claim the bounty, 8 reached 89 pity, 745 counted wrong, 213 didn't know the rules, 119's record was expired, 7 trie to use photoshop to cheat the bounty, one used a pity counter app, but the app had a bug. The owner of CN pity counter site feixiaoqiu mentioned they had 20m pieces of data, they thought this would never happen, now they had this unique data on their site(uploaded time 2021-10-15 09:41:58 ).

The Beginner’s Guide to Vyn Richter

Disclaimer: This character analysis of Vyn contains spoilers for Cool Summer, Mercury in Retrograde, Mended Heart, Vyn's Personal Story, and Vyn's First birthday card. If you don't mind the spoilers, go ahead!

Overview of the Iceberg Theory

Hemmingway’s Iceberg Theory says that a character’s motivations and beliefs shine through actions and speech. It is known as the theory of omission, wherein details are revealed over time as the story progresses. Media of all genres rely on the iceberg theory to keep the audience interested and ensure continuity of plot elements and character arcs.

Vyn Richter: The Basics

Tears of Themis is a mobile game from Mihoyo, known for making the wildly popular Genshin Impact. It is a fictional investigative procedural where the player is a rookie lawyer working at Themis Law Firm. The first two chapters of the main story introduce the player to the four main love interests, eventually working with them in the secret NXX Investigation Project. The NXX investigates β€œanomaly cases,” often considered cold cases for conventional law enforcement. Playing through the main story chapters, personal story chapters, and card stories, one discovers that these four men from very disparate walks of life are not what they seem to be at first.

This analysis will focus on Vyn Richter, psychiatrist, and owner of the Giannovyn Institute of Mental Health Research. As a founding member of NXX, he is also known by the code name Adjudicator. Players meet Vyn in the second chapter of the main story, where they are tasked to bring documents as part of a covert psychological evaluation.

First Impressions

Vyn, in the first meeting, is described to have golden eyes, short silvery hair, and wearing a typical doctor’s outfit with a vest, dress shirt, and tie underneath. He is gentlemanly and composedβ€”almost unflappable. The player first sees him making a card tower entirely from the ace of hearts. There is a thoughtful look in his eyes as he finishes placing the last two cards. Vyn then asks the player to try and grab a card while keeping the card tower’s structure intact. Though the game gives the illusion of choice, it all leads to the same conclusion. The card tower falls, and Vyn asks the player this question:

>β€œNow that you know how events will unfold, if you had the chance to turn back time…would you refuse my request?”

Vyn does cite that most people would refuse. It would be normal to do so. However, this is not just about the

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Review – Gucci GG Embossed Briefcase from Nina and/or Unknown Factory

This is my first review so go easy on me. I’m usually too busy reading everyone else’s reviews and lusting over your purchases. Literally. I am no good at doing a quality/ accuracy check because I tend to do a quick scan for any major call outs and if I see none I move on. I must admit that I am getting better at this because of you fabulous ladies. This has led me to be unwilling to use the first 4 Dhgate bags I purchased because now I β€œknow” better.

## **Quality – Rating 9/10**

Nina stated that this was an all leather bag. I did not do a leather test.

The bag looks good. It feels good. I like the texture.

There was no fufu smell.

The packaging was consistent with other seller items received, packaged in a cardboard box, fairly stiff to prevent bag damage. This was effective as the bag was undamaged.

Bag was in a dustbag. I did not request branded box nor was one offered as an option. I cannot comment on the dustbag quality. My authentic Gucci purchases have thicker dustbags but they could have c

China has just told investors that Chinese Commercial Real Estate developer Evergrande wont pay interest due on September 20, Fitch downgrades rating to CC, from CCC+, indicating that they view a default of some kind as probable

>CHINA TELLS BANKS EVERGRANDE WON'T PAY INTEREST DUE SEPT. 20

https://twitter.com/Fxhedgers/status/1438016209765605377

>FITCH WIRE: FITCH DOWNGRADED CHINA EVERGRANDE GROUP TO 'CC' FROM 'CCC+' ON 7 SEPT, INDICATING THAT WE VIEW A DEFAULT OF SOME KIND AS PROBABLE

More context:

https://www.reuters.com/business/fitch-says-possible-china-evergrande-default-may-have-broader-effects-2021-09-15/

>Rating agency Fitch said that numerous sectors could be exposed to heightened credit risk if China's No.2 property developer Evergrande Group (3333.HK) were to default, although the overall impact on the banking sector would be manageable.

>Evergrande is scrambling to raise funds to pay its many lenders and suppliers, as it teeters between a messy meltdown with far-reaching impacts, a managed collapse or the less likely prospect of a bailout by Beijing. read more

>Regulators have warned of broader risks to the country's financial system if the company's $305 billion of liabilities aren't contained.

>"We believe a default would reinforce credit polarisation among homebuilders and could result in headwinds for some smaller banks," Fitch said in a note late on Tuesday.

>Fitch downgraded China Evergrande Group to "CC" from "CCC+" on Sep. 7, indicating that it viewed a default of some kind as probable.

>On Tuesday, Evergrande said it has engaged advisers to examine its financial options and warned of cross-default risks amid plunging property sales and lack of progress in asset disposals. read more

>Fitch said 572 billion yuan ($88.8 billion) of Evergrande's borrowings were held by banks and other financial institutions, but banks may also have indirect exposure to the developer's suppliers, who are owed 667 billion yuan for goods and services.

>"Smaller banks with higher exposure to Evergrande or to other vulnerable developers could face significant increases in non-performing loans (NPLs), depending on how any credit event involving Evergrande develops," Fitch said.

>But the agency added a recent People’s Bank of China sensitivity test showed the average capital adequacy ratio of the 4,000 banks in the country would only drop modestly if the NPL ratio for property-development loans were to rise by 15 basis points.

>Evergrande's Hong Kong-listed stock slipped as much as another 5% to HK$2.82 on Wednesday morning, a fresh low since Jan 2014.

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
