  • It may be manipulated by the government. A low Yuan means their goods are more competative in foreign markets. It also means that Chinese travelors have to pay more, discouraging international travel. Both of these are positives in the government's eyes.

  • I'm not really sure. I wrote a short book about my Haiti experiences and there's a chapter devoted to the zombie incident. If you message me, I'll send you the link.

  • Long story, but here's a summary. A guy came to our hospital, got admitted, and died the next day. The deaner got him ready and the family came in and made the traditional circling of the coffin. The deaner nailed it shut and the family took it and spent the night singing and telling stories of the deceased, then buried him the next day. He came back to the hospital about a year later. Caused some excitement. The administrator (American), the deaner (Haitian) and the attending doctor (American) had a big pow wow. The death certificate was signed by a doctor (American). The deaner and family recognized him. When the attending went back to the States, he told the story to a reporter who brought a team down to investigate. My friend was actually the translator. Apparently one of the best documented case of a zombie. The Americans said it was done with drugs. The Haitians said it was voodoo. It's written up in the Serpant and the Rainbow if you've ever read that book.

  • How many Lemmy users post regularly (let's say daily)?

    Jump

  • Ah. That makes the odds better. Still, you have a very small portion of active users doing most of the posting.

  • How many Lemmy users post regularly (let's say daily)?

    Jump

  • So, assuming that 1000 posts comes from less than 1000 people, and that other people post occasionally, let's guess that somewhere less than 1000 people do 90 % of the posting. That's not a high percentage of users.
