they have a stronger middle class than we do
They official numbers are worse than the US:

The problem is this is an easy thing to lie about, so their official numbers are certainly complete fabrications. And they still weren’t bold enough to fabricate something that put them above the US.

Just imagine them invariant to any 3D rotation.

Probably refuse to sell any other game until the OP pays the debit. That’s what I would do.

I’d expect the Chinese numbers to be way more skewed than the US ones. Too bad we can’t rely on their statistics.
Either way, both numbers are for the average. The US one is for September, when it was still reliable; the Chinese one is certainly a gross overestimation, but for December, and we don’t know if it moved up or down from there yet.

It’s not graphite, and it’s very dissimilar. It’s a composite, usually of graphite and clay.
Graphite pencils can only write in metal or rocks. They are not good even for wood.

Some versions of it are just trying to make the world better; some are plain baldfaced authoritarianism.

TBF, anarchy is the ideology that claims people being shot on their back after the revolution is a problem to be ignored with one’s entire strength. It’s no wonder that this exact problem always happens to them.

People already made liberalism in the 17th Century.

Glass is guaranteed to be flat. The thicker the flatter, and mirrors tend to be thin.

It’s kind of normal. Printing on a glass is normal, some people pick a mirror because it conducts heat slightly better.

That would be too conspicuous.

So, in average they had 5k dollars to spend on everything that isn’t food and rent… And you are proposing they are rich?

It has plenty of ironic thoughts thrown in there to break the darkness, if you want to read it that way. Or they can just make everything more desperate if that’s what you want.

In my experience, those people don’t go around questioning things. They just pick somebody to believe and make them their messiah or something.

- Comment on A secret cord 1 week ago:
Some people claim to use them to plug generators into their homes when the lights go out.
But your generator should plug into some place before the main panel, and it’s easy to put the right connector on that one place destined to it and where you shouldn’t plug anything else. So it’s people not prepared to use a generator, that want to use one anyway, and that have to be sure to disconnect it before the power comes back on or they will find the main use-case for the cable (AKA, the one on the meme).
- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 1 week ago:
Some (many? most? IDK) gold sellers are scammers. They will sell you overvalued stuff and insist it’s extra-valuable because of some feature they made up. They are the ones being loud on the web and making you hear about it all the time. So, if you hear an ad, and buy gold, you’ve probably fallen for a scam.
But investing in gold by itself is just like any other commodity. And just to say, the rule on that last phrase is valid for almost everything (it’s absolutely valid for stocks and investment funds).
