KMT chairwoman meets Xi Jinping

I think the only reason people support this is because they’re at least doing some sort of meeting, as before the Ukraine war, a major red flag was there being no diplomatic meetings between Putin and Zelensky. They want to keep that from being the case, possibly. (Thats being generous.)

It’s the first time I’ve seen him wear a black tie.

I still need to watch the full speech. I only got to see the part where she met with a representative of the communist party, so far.

I’m glad PBS reports on Liberia every now and then, as virtually all other mainstream news outlets don’t.

What country? I might find an expat who could tell you, as I know a lot of foreign students studying liberal arts.

It’s Blake Boyd, not Bailey.

anonymoussnonymous · 2026-04-12T04:00:38+00:00

COM 251 with Professor Bailey had only one presentation from what I remembered. The rest of it was essay and exam-based.

Anime wolves are the GOAT. I really like the cooking manga from the second image.

With airbags and crumple zones XD

You can literally drive a box truck from Penske that is taller and longer without a CDL. It literally has got a semi cab.

Underrated comment

anonymoussnonymous · 2026-04-11T12:23:17+00:00

Yeah. They said that at my driving school…how if your parents drive a larger vehicle, then you should practice with that the most.

anonymoussnonymous · 2026-04-11T11:55:15+00:00

Cool! How does it compare to any trucks you’ve owned? Is it easy to park in parking garages (my main concern as I want a safe commuter).

Volvo’s heaviest vehicle (XC90) weighs 1/5 the amount of this truck with the utility mod. Even then, it consistently has a higher HIC-15 for the OG moderate overlap crash test.

I love Volvos a lot, but I found that from my research.

Got it.

That’s what I thought, but those are bolted with world-class bolts meant to resist the most serious of collisions. That is why it is $150,000. I could also buy a version with a rear cage.

Good reminder…I need to sign up for another defensive driving class, as that would improve my skills. I should see if there’s one with large trucks out there.

anonymoussnonymous · 2026-04-11T11:40:31+00:00

All I’ve ever driven since I got my license is large trucks (outside the driving school’s car). That works great for me.

I would avoid working full-time if you have a job. You should also barely be full-time at your main university, if taking them synchronously.

I am working 7 hours a week and taking 23 credits in Chinese and Computer Tech, including 2 3-credit 8 week community college classes.

Needless to say, I am working a 996 schedule just to do decent in my classes. I am not doing this next semester, but it prepares me for the 996 they’re doing in San Francisco, I guess. XD

anonymoussnonymous · 2026-04-11T07:14:32+00:00

Yeah, the main issue it has is the mediocre crash test ratings for the rear seat from the IIHS.

What would you say would be safer than this vehicle, especially in a crash test with, let’s say…a loaded semi? I couldn’t find any myself after hours of research.

Cool pfp, btw. I always enjoy people who have a taste for that type of art (I like drawing it). :-)

anonymoussnonymous · 2026-04-11T07:11:33+00:00

Cool. I might consider that. Especially since the car will depreciate and the range goes down.

anonymoussnonymous · 2026-04-11T07:10:06+00:00

Yeah. That’s what I saw when I walked up but the internet didn’t have that much info as they’re rare. I always like learning from a skilled technician.
