Yeah you can’t just jet off whenever you like if you have a work visa. You need to get permission from the Immigration department first.

People often find this out when they do a quick trip over the border to Canada or Mexico.

You can run Deepseek on a Raspberry Pi.

War and Peace is made up of 42 or something full length novels.

Then there are 15 more novels after that !

The T03 doesn’t comply with 2024 safey regulations which apply to all vehicles (not just new models) in July.

Walmart will benefit because they buy in wholesale and the tariff is applied to the landed price. Amazon has warehuse in the US so Chinese traders can set up operaions in the US and pay the bulk price as well.

eg an item that is $100 on Aliexpress, costs $15.12 per 10,000 on Alibaba. A consumer pays $245, but Walmart pays about $35.

200 to make it a round number. That’s why they increased it from 104 to 125.

If you have something that looks like the Stellantis logo on or near your genitals, you should see a doctor, soon.

The Malaysian version of Matrix cut out the kissing scene at the end.

MASH on Channel 10 (Australia) used to be so heavily censored they would splice two episodes into one.

American toilets use to hve a great big bowl that would fill with water. Your bum would be a few centimetres from the water and your turd would float around in the pool of water.

Low flow tolietsare similar to Britsh toliets where a column inside the cistern is used to create greater pressure and flush the bowl.

The back of a hammer is used for pulling out nails.

…with what happened to Saddam Hussein and Colonel Gaddaffi.

1-money 2-incompetence 3-the senior prgrammer left somewhere and is uncontactable, or was sacked by a powertripping manager with the IQ of a cinder block and no one can work out what the hell they wrote.

The question is why there are farm subidies at all, since they always vote Republican anyway.

They’ll be changed again tomorrow.

The crazy isn’t going to stop.

Actually, the tweet was accurate.

Actually you had 3 hours to do it before he changed his mind.

He’ll change it again later today.

Probably will have some delays as the software get updated, and I wouldn’t be surprised if a bunch of Chinese goods get re-routed through Vietnam or other countries with lower import tariffs.

Most likely they’ll just have is “assembled” (put in a box) in Mexico.

India has 300% tariff on Chinese goods. Everything is still made in China there. US auto workers make $40 an hour, a Chinese autoworker makes $100 a week. Yes there are robots, but they have to be maintained. The difference is the costs of fitters in the US and China is even greater.

There might be a few edge cases where it is cheaper to make in the US ; food processing for example, where the sale price is low and transport is a large proportion, or highly automated things, like making plastic bags or injected moulded stuff like those garden chairs or plastic tanks.

They have to show the invoice from the supplier.

Yes, where the importer is also the manufacturer (such as cars), the factory can sell at a loss and make up the difference onshore. However, then their tax liability is greater. What they usually do is sell via a tax haven, the importer is based in Barbados, pays their supplier below cost, and the onshore distributor then pays the importer more than they sell for, so they make a “loss” for tax purposes. Tax is only liable on profits.

How long do you think Tesla Shanghai is going to keep going for. Shut down that factory and all of Tesla will grind to a halt.

The Empire makes the rules, it doesn’t follow them.
