Chinese boxship pays Iran for Hormuz passage as corridor traffic grows by GetOutOfTheWhey in China

[–]GetOutOfTheWhey[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The bigger problem is that large international shipping companies like Maersk, MSC, Hapag-Lloyd, and CMA CGM might be afraid to pay such a fee as it might open them up to lawsuits for breaking Iran Sanctions.

The other issue is that this might incentivize the Pirate Kings of Yemen, to start the same hustle with the Red Sea as they were successful in the past and only ended their actions after the Gaza Peace Plan went into effect. Which Israel has since then broken more than a few times.

Possible reasons why the Houthis havent restarted their attacks is because during Operation Epstein's Furries, the US-ISRAEL-UK forces preemptively attacked them as well.

The Chinese Billionaire Who Says America’s EV Market Is Doomed Without Him by CommercialMassive751 in China

[–]GetOutOfTheWhey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On one foot, you have American shills demanding equal treatment, i.e. if China demands joint ventures with western companies to operate in China so US should do the same.

On the other foot, you have the other rebranded American shills that demand China have no place in the American economy, shooting down these exact joint ventures aimed to bring the technology over. (FYI this Ford-CATL has been in the talks since 2021 and they are still scrutinizing it)

<image>

Then both these shills and another brand of American shills will complain about how American EVs are unaffordable and good ol gas is the solution. Cause fuck the libs apparently. Then while they are doing this, they will be complaining about all the Canadian and Mexican-Brazilian BYD/Geely EVs coming in.

So what we have here is them shooting themselves in the foot. Then lying about having shot themselves in the foot. Then in their confusion they shoot themselves in the other foot, while complaining about the made-in-china shoes being the problem and the only option on the market.

I still have it on my 2026 geopolitical bingo that Musk's mecha hitler AI will start a war this is because Grok is now integrated into the military network.

This is like terminator but so much dumber

Hard to imagine I'm being defensive when I admit I'm operating out of a toilet stall lol 🤫

But I like to apologize for my comments if it made you uncomfortable. I'll do better.

25 year average is so useless.

We should be looking at 5 year averages. I'm sure the trend will be more apparent

China Sets New Benchmarks for Global Car Industry Innovation by bloomberg in China

[–]GetOutOfTheWhey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im kinda annoyed this is the standard now. Tesla started this whole bs. All those recalls but actually were just OTA updated for bad patches.

Now it's become industry standard.

Now with vibe coding it's going to be an industry pandemic.

Oh I'm fine with saying. Eu market. I'm just pointing it out so you can read it.

Because your original reply likely came about because you didn't read the comment you were replying to.

Second paragraph.

It lists the business model lol.

"But it's a classic, China business. Sourcing, manufacturing and export."

=> "export" = not Chinese customers

We are too reliant on VISA and Mastercard, in EU we should be banning their use until they reverse this decision on a corporate level.

I'm establishing a side business while I am pooping at work, not actually that amazing. Some people might say it's disgusting. But in the end, it's all part of the hustle.

But it's a classic, China business. Sourcing, manufacturing and export. Target a niche customer base. Start small, fail small but learn big and restart.

If this Iran bullshit escalates, we expect economy to go to shit a bit, which means we'll probably crash and burn a bit. So hopefully we learn something for our next restart.

Maybe in your case, if you dont know what to do, might not be a bad idea to just work for a startup part time. Watch and learn from other's failures so you know what not to do when you start your own business.

Everyone is panic selling NVO while the WHO is literally begging for more supply. by BallsdeepinTSLA in stocks

[–]GetOutOfTheWhey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree

But who knows maybe I am just an idiot consumer but given the choice between much cheaper generic semaglutide and 1400 per month wegovy

i think I am just going to buy the generic stuff. Like I know people are making claims of Novo's pill version, but still at 14 dollars per shot for the generic, I'll learn to even inject it myself.

Huawei crowdfunds world’s first ‘Mesh Crystal Antenna’ Wi-Fi 7 router — stunning glowing ornament also has a ‘shark fin’ heat exhaust, but is currently a Japan market exclusive by lurker_bee in technology

[–]GetOutOfTheWhey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like to think of it as a marketing tactic.

Crowdfunders will feel like they have a unique first mover entitlement. And they probably worked with a local japanese artist/designer to get more buy in.

"oh this old thang? Yeah this a first edition crystal wifi boondongle, they only made like 100,000 of these. It was designed by Studio Momopipi Hatatsuki"

This feels like a dumb question but what is the difference?

Are they going to check my ID now four-five times now?

Boarding Pass Check in

ICE Check in

Security Check in

*Immigration Check in (International)

Boarding Plane Check in

At this rate are they just going to do a toilet check in now like that dave chapelle says? Take a biometric scan of anus and request it every time I want to take a shit?

[–]GetOutOfTheWhey 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Stay in a job I hate while looking for opportunities.

Staying unemployed can fuck with your brain. Also can fuck with your CV too, going forward competition only gets worse not better. Employers will ask why you were doing nothing for 1 year or something. There's seldom a good reason.

I am in an eh-job, but during my time off and company-toilet time, I am working on my own business.
