Other measure for mosquitoes when you have stagnant water you cant put fish in or remove, such as the water that pools in banana plants and bird baths’ mosquito bits. They’re like small rocks carrying a spore that kills mosquito larva, and it seems harmless, at least it is to frogs.

A country competing with Japan for the highest suicide rate cant be described as working for a lot of its inhabitants.

?Its very typical at sit-down restaurants, they bring you the check, you write the amount you want to pay (tip), sign, and leave your card on the tray, they bring back your card and a copy of the check.

Nobody will care, but a lot of places, including all public transit only take cash.
- Comment on Ok, I'll pay you the 1995 price 1 week ago:
That price doesnt include any data, and seems to be way more expensive than getting local esims. They seem to massively upcharge for the networks they use too. Here its 11USD for 30 days@10GB/day, but the silent charges 5.50/GB on the same network.

Nah, you wouldnt see 24/7 restaurants like ガスト using them; similar to the conveyors at sushiro, it enables the company to run a 30 table restaurant with like 3 people.

You’re overselling the place where half the buildings are in perfect condition because they turn to shit and get knocked down every 20 years or so.

That is a lot of space for very little info, that means nothing to anyone who doesnt already know what th codes mean. U4.2.40 would be just as useful.
This is the programmer art of graphic design.

Millennial are in their 30s and 40s, half the time theyre on the receiving end of OK Boomer.
IMO its great to be able to say “your lack of experience with the world as it exists now, and not 20+ years ago has left you unable and unwilling to understand. I am giving up trying to help you learn” in just 2 words

They still have a trade in program to get ICE vehicles off the road.

Buyers of any EV not just American EVs.
I was talking about china, their federal govt ended ev subsidies in 2022. I suspect some city and provincial level govts still do various types of subsidies.
We they imprisoned for not wanting to be controlled by a dictatorship?
Bro are you trying to justify slavery in the US? You dont have to do that to criticize China. But you have to have to learn about its actual problems, not just accept any silly stories western media comes up with. Try visiting some time, its incredibley cheap, you can rent out decent sized apartments for 15/night in most cities, theres also sleeper trains, combine transport and 1 nights lodging, and food is often <2usd/meal.
Imagine Trump declaring that every college grad needs to make themselves available to build a border wall.
That’s not how that works at all, they simply invest more into educating people into a particular field to ensure there will be enough people with the required skills in a particular area.
How did you even misinterpret my post like that?

The average new truck costs 50% more. Every small car they sell is a lost truck sale.

5K/year isn’t exactly poverty when rent is <200, phone data is 20, and you can get pic for 1.50 USD. I too would like them to be treated better, but I dont know if their overall situation is worse than the average american worker making 50K, but spending 24K on rent, 12K on car payments, and 16USD if they eat out.

China builds cars using massive government subsidies
The federal government ended the the EV subsidy a few years ago.
slave labor
lmao. We know what slavery looks like, you can see it in the cotton fields outside Angola Prison. I saw farmers driving combine harvesters in Xinjiang.
local resources that arent available
You’re getting closer. Through 1 and 5 year plans, the CPC uses SoEs (and sometimes just asks private companies “nicely”) to ensure the foundational inputs, steel, rubber, chips, college graduates, etc are all available to industry at the specific price point and volume that competing private firms need to produce say, 100m EVs or a million more apartments.

Weird. I mean tomato sauce jars are too, at least once. Was it a pickle or jam jar? Ive had those break just placing them on the counter.

And it still shattered?
- Comment on Breaking the generational barriers 2 weeks ago:
I guess it depends on the temperature of the oil, I pour when its still liquid, but less than boiling.
- Comment on Breaking the generational barriers 2 weeks ago:
Just putting oil in a few dozen times won’t shatter it. A few hundred cooling cycles might, but you change jars by then.

Modern pyrex isnt any more heat resistant than any other soda glass, they switched in like the 90s. But regular glass is fine for grease, I use an old pasta sauce jar.

Yeah, 50/mo for unlimited isnt terrible, Im paying half that for 2gb/day, then limited to 365kb/s

This cost me 1.80USD. Turns out if the government works to keep food prices low and gets rent down to 300-400/mo in the middle of major cities, 1 person running a small busibess can feed a lot of people cheaply.Image
