Don’t worry Chinese EVs, BYD, Xiaomi, and others catch on fire way more regularly than Teslas.

1% of the population of the USA is 3.2 million. 1 in 5000 is 65k in the USA. I didn’t expect those kinds of numbers. Very good read. #pinkisforboys open.substack.com/pub/thosener...

Ok, just what IS the difference between sex and gender? !
To answer this question we need to discuss three different things: 1️⃣ Biological sex, 2️⃣ Gender expression, and 3️⃣ Gender identity

I look for these every day. Not sure why, but your framing and lighting always brings out the colors. I think you’re going to need a gallery exhibition titled, “Fun-gii”.

Not a promotion: ;) If you want to cancel and move to Affinity or Pixelmator Pro, but you are in the middle of the annual plan, cancelling the credit card for that account and then telling them to pound sand worked for me.

LOL. You’re payment history affects your credit worthiness. The social credit score looks at how well you tow the CCP line in your life and then determines whether or not your kids can go to a good school or you can ride a high speed train. #FalseEquivalency #notthesame

The issue is that the connector on the device is male and the cable is female. If it was reversed like the lightning cable it would be much strong and easier to replace when the cable connector (male) breaks. I’m not sure why they did that. I assume there was a patent they couldn’t use.

My one qualm with USB-C is that the cables (easy and cheap to replace) contain the female connector and the device that it connects to contains the male connector. The one thing that breaks all the time is the male connector. Tear down = expensive; cable = cheap

It’s a cheap Chinese product that is shipped to the USA at almost no cost to the vendor because China, a country with a space program and lunar lander on the back side of the moon, is deemed a 3rd World developing country. It’s probably mixed with other chemicals not listed on the box.

I’m going to need you ladies to put together a misogynist block list so we don’t need to go post by post. Dumbshits like this need to learn there isn’t a world where they belong in 2024.

Bronchitis here for 3 weeks. Likely culprit was Mycoplasma pneumonia which is endemic here in Taiwan. Doc had me on 1g of Amoxicillin and 1 tab of Augmentin twice a day. Best of luck on your treatment.
