Positive. Over.

I’m going to paraphrase you.

Taiwan/ASMC is advanced because usa wants Taiwan to be advanced in detriment of usa being advanced, and no other country in the world is helping Taiwan, specially Netherlands.

Depends on who is talking, could be untied states if it’s Russia talking, could be China if Australia talking, could be Russia if it’s one of the countries invaded recently in the last 10 years.

Just try replacing “empire” with “bully that takes things against the will of its owners” and suddenly you have several options. Sometimes it’s land like Russia, sometimes it’s sea like China and sometimes it’s Venezuelan oil ships like untied states

Never played so no

Where do you buy them from?

This is just a dog having a bad hair day

A lot bit different

Found the bri’ish

The best time to start is now, so 10 years down the road you get it happening.

Clarifying that the equipment should always be fixed disconnected from AC, the light bulb is supposed to assist in TESTING the fix, in case something in the equipment is still broken.

They’re the next stage after Idiocracy. If I remember correctly they don’t walk or talk at all, just watch tv and eat.

Are you against DRM for technical limitations or convenience? I do it for convenience and started writing down before choosing what to buy, but even some short trilogies have mixed DRM and no DRM. I mostly use Kobo for buying but I have no strings attached.

My first book was also a stitch in time and I loved it. Some years later and I’m probably around 100 books, although I still didn’t buy q-squared.

There’s this awesome and slightly outdated guide where it’s easier for you to pick books. Or just go with your personal favourite series.

Some exceptions that never went on TV that I know are: stargazer(Picard before enterprise), Titan (Riker after enterprise) and New Frontiers( based on a whole new set of characters and by far the funniest of all I read).

Did you just re define tradition in the way everyone else does? 😶

Are you looking for practicing your Russian?

when discussing when China could catch up to the US in the semiconductor race.

BS. Untied states are not competitive at all for a long time. They should say China is catching up with Taiwan.

And it’s not a race, there’s no finish line, improvements have been happening for 50 years now and can continue for decades.

Black cat, black pointy hat and dark make up?

Can I join? Booooooooo

Every language has words that are almost the same sounds but not quite.

English speakers barely pronounce can and can’t differently. If you’re in a noisy place, or are not familiar with the accent of the speaker or got a flu and your ears are blocked or whatever else, you’ll have an extra bad time telling them apart. That’s normal. Just extra annoying that this particular example involves a particular meaning and the opposite of it, so context is not your friend.

HEY MATE, CAN YOU PLEASE COME TO THE PARTY?

I CA’!±:-

OH COOL

I SAID I CA;(++;:-

OH SO YOU CAN’T? YEAH?

YEAH! THAT’S WHAT I SAID.

WELL YOUR LOSS

I SAID I WILL COME, DUDE

OH SHOOT. OK. SEE YOU THERE.

I’d be inclined to square the blame on economic and cultural imposition.

Which means that in maybe 50 years it will be like you say because of China’s increasing weight on world affairs.

Freak in the sheets, nerd in the bridge.
