PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by Samunosuke(m): 2:14pm On Jul 26, 2017
I'm not sure I understand Xiaomi's product naming scheme:
Mi 4x - Mid-range smallphone
Mi Note 4x - Mid-range large phone
Mi 5x - Mid-range large phone?
I hope they intend on releasing a 5" phone for those of us who don't like large phones.

Jon is going to White Harbor, from there he'll sail to Dragonstone. I doubt Arya will be able to cross paths with him. Nymeria recognized Arya but chose not to follow. I'm sure she'll come to Arya's rescue in the future. BTW, the other wolves are regular wolves not direwolves.

It's not nice to generalize. My photography mentor here in Nigeria always ensured EVERYTHING was always set to manual and RAW + jpeg. He despised auto mode. Over time you learn to make judgement calls and quickly set the right aperture, shutter speed, ISO and white balance depending on conditions. What's the point of buying a $3000 camera with over $4000 in lenses, light strobes, reflectors, wireless transmitters etc just to shoot auto?

Shooting in JPEG severely limits the amount of post-processing that can be done on images. Nikons generally have amazing dynamic range that allow to tweak up to 14 stops.

Currently eyeing a Sony a7rII though. Mirrorless is the future.

Rhaegar did what he did to sir another child with the Ice queen because he read prophesy that the dragon will have three heads.

He already had two kids with his Dorne princess but she was always too sick so the possibility of having another child was slim.

Besides, he thought he was the promised prince till he read about the prince whose song will be of fire (Tageryean blood) and Ice ( Stark blood).

The Dragon primce did what he had to do. cool
Too bad thousands died for it
Tiri gbosa for you.

Rhaegar was honorable and loved by all. He did what he had to do for the 7 kingdoms. My favourite non-living character.

She loses Lady, but not her ability. Only Bran is aware of the ability, the rest just think it's dreams. There's a scene in the novels with Sansa and an old blind dog though.
While training in the House of Black and White, Arya warged into a cat several times and used it to defeat the waif. I believe she's the only one with demonstrated ability to hybrid/dual warg ie warg while still controlling her body (if I remember correctly).

Came across this article which I 95% agree with. Arya is currently the most powerful force I Westeros. She can infiltrate anywhere and kill anybody. Always been my favourite character (needle, stick 'em with the pointy end).
Sansa will be the one to kill Cersei - fact. And it will be a horrible, gruesome death. I think Arya will try and fail to kill her. Seems too easy for her to accomplish.
Anyone can see that Sansa has grown quite a lot in the show. Hated her as much as the Lannisters early on (She defended Joffery when Arya protected her and got her direwolf killed and Nymeria had to be set loose). Not sure I'll ever totally forgive her early transgressions. But she has paid the price and has learnt from it.

Probably going to have nightmares about this test for the rest of my life. For those who aren't well-versed in all areas of IT, there's a low probability of success because you can't prepare for this test. You either know it and have a little experience or you don't.

Not sure if other IT people are still scheduled to write but questions came from assembly language, sql statements, database management, ITIL (ITSM), C++, truth tables, binary and more.

Only one other guy around me managed to score over 20 (25 to be precise) although I saw a score of 45 on the recording sheet.

24/50

those of you that haven't received your invite probably subscribed to the "DND" list. it means you requested to not receive junk sms(do not disturb), so bulk sms from NDDC would not be delivered to you. What you can do is text "STOP" to 2442, so your number can be removed from the DND list.
Nope. Deactivated DND on my lines a few weeks ago. I suspect that it is the first zero that got truncated when registering that is the problem. Plus my line is glo.

Mine was less of an interview and more of a discussion. There were a lot of us, so by the time I got interviewed they had filled the position I applied for. The (very nice) lady decided to shortlist me for an opening that was just posted that day (swift queries officer). It was very nice of them.

Note that it isn't a fully-funded scholarship. What NIIT does is that they reduce your tuition based on your performance in the test. No matter how well you do, you'll still end up paying for the books.

SaharaReporters contacted the spokesperson to the Cross Rivers state governor, Christian Ita who said they could only locate a family member of the Ikpeme’s who was already a civil servant in the state before Prof. Ayade became the state governor in 2015.



This part has nullified the veracity of this story.



Dino is a corrupt Thief if being harassed by a Media Thief Sowore for threatening the Biggest Thief Tinubu to impregnate his Wife
It is a normal thing to back-date back-door government appointments. Trust me on this. No matter where they go, your file will be there saying you were employed as a 5 year old.

That part verified the veracity of this story.

bracket order division multiplication addition subtraction

Use that and tell me the android got it undecided

If u still don't get it bodmas states u solve the bracket first

ur choice tho
6 ÷ 2 x (2 + 1)

Bracket 1st - 2 + 1 = 3
Division 2nd - 6 ÷ 2 = 3
Multiplication 3rd - 3 x 3 = 9

The android is right.

Sometimes it may not be appeal, I have the same problem like you, though, my appeal has been accepted but two times, unlike urs which is 3 times. With my experience here, it's believed that once u u av unsusseful funding of of ur Alipocket, it means u av an appeal to take care of but with my li2 knowledge on Alixpress, it's not so. Like I tried to fund this morning but I was told av exceeded d with real amount, that I should contact my card issuer, that doesn't require appeal. When I tried with d 2bd card I was told my bank doesn't approve d transaction dt I should also contact my bank. When I contacted UBA, I was told there is an international limit for all the uba card holder allover, that once d limit has been reached no one will be able to pay for any online international platform except u use another method of payment like POS which is not applicable to Aliexpress. Once ur card requested for OTP, it means ur av escape appeal for that particular transaction. Am stand to be corrected ooooo
Well this month just started and I verified my gt card on alipay where they were able to successfully take $0.01. Plus, these are cards that I have used on Amazon US for years, not sure why it's AliExpress that I won't be able to pay.

This thread is the best place to sell the alipocket,really dunno what's wrong with your account.Most likely you didn't wait for at least 24hrs after your appeal was approved before funding again ,even if you open another account there is a high probability that you'd still need to appeal after your first $100 transaction.
I'll try one last time. Thanks for your help.

If the order is very urgent,you can contact protein0 to help make the order but at a rate of $1 to #360 which is a great deal considering the alternatives​ then you can sell your alipocket to whoever that is interested so as to recoup your money.
Lovely suggestion. I'll look into that. Where can I sell the alipocket? This thread or another thread like the international currency thread?

This means that I won't be able to order from that AliExpress account ever again 'cause I suspect my account is stuck in some kind of appeal loop that the cc/appeal agents can't fix.
PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by Samunosuke(m): 12:03pm On May 07, 2017
I'm not sure which oracle I offended or deity I slighted but I have been stuck in appeal hell for about a month now. I've appealed 3 times and they have all been accepted but each time I try to order, straight to another appeal. I have used access visa, gtbank mastercard, fidelity mastercard, firstbank prepaid visa and union masyercard all to no avail.

2 cc agents insist that Mastercard debit isn't supported on AliExpress but from reading this thread, I know better. My major problem is that I was able to successfully buy $50 worth of alipocket which I am now unable to use.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
