Beautiful motorcycle and interesting story!
Beautiful motorcycle and interesting story!
#1 Chips act was entirely a direct result of China’s behavior. GM and Exxon are all determined critical to maintaining national security, so of course the government will intervene with these industries, but even independent companies as tightly intertwined with the US Govt as Lockheed are not guaranteed the funding - as you said it is outsourced through bidding to the firm the government deems best equipped for whatever challenge is presented.
You may recall there was great backlash to the GM bailout. Even though the bailout was an emergency reaction and not proactive competitive support - many Americans were culturally comfortable watching that company wither. If it were BYD in the same scenario China wouldn’t have even had a discussion, because the government is directly invested in it’s success. Just write the check.
The type of support you’re citing rarely extends to non-critical industry in western countries, while China is happy to provide investment to gain a competitive edge at any level. I’m not even arguing this is wrong, I just believe it’s largely a cultural distinction.
I’m also not implying that governments the world over don’t provide incentives to influence market direction, hell that’s a primary role of government, but I do see it as fundamentally different approaches giving a tax cut to incentive product development vs SASAC directly sitting on many Chinese boards.
I believe it comes down to a difference in philosophy, the Chinese government is comfortable choosing “winning” companies and funding them, scaling them immediately to compete on the global market. It’s part of their “Industrial Policy” approach. Western countries (including countries under their influence) widely refuse to support individual companies (with some exceptions) and let the market decide as they say. Both approaches come with their own inefficiency and risk.
And yes the long term vision is to break the markets. Subsidize and come in cheap, get everyone used to the new floor prices, outlast the competition, and raise the floor once they control it.
Edit - when Romney called China the US #1 geopolitical trade adversary, this is the kind of behavior he was talking about.

Loaded or not, that’s probably not the spot I’d choose to stand.
I feel bad for the people just trying to get through their shift, having to deal with these dumbasses.
No worries, it’s all good! It’s basically two identical drives. The backup drive doesn’t get much use outside of the rsync process, but if the main drive fails, I am able to jump onto to the backup drive without much interruption. Before rsync runs it does a comparison and only moves modified files, so it’s not a bulk rewrite every week- just brings the target up to parity with the source. If both of these drives kick the bucket at the same time I guess that will just have to accept it as very bad luck lol, only so much I can do. But the plan is when the main drive fails, backup will get promoted to main until I’m able to backfill another drive.
Im in ur networks, killin ur wifis
For reference, pics I sent to samsung regarding this
My flip3 screen had splintering along its hinge in about 8 months, and took Samsung another 3 months to get parts to fix it. 6 months after they fixed, it started showing signs of happening again and I traded it in.
For what is worth I wouldn’t do it again.
Edit - also the battery is trash. I was lucky to make it to 8pm some days.
i play conkers use wrist strap no sore hand
Cyberpunk 2077 - despite all its flaws - is CDPR’s best game.
Brave and accurate.
Ehhh. the game is coming up on 8 years, it’s definitely time for engine upgrades. Also the majority of DLC is themed packs (ghostbusters, back to the future and the like) with scenery, a single ride, and a single coaster. I wouldn’t consider it half-finished.
Planet coaster is definitely the best for sandbox and customizing things. If you want to build a beautiful park and themed rides there’s nothing like it. Meanwhile Parkitect scratches the management/business side itch, I just need these devs to get together and combine their strengths haha.
I didn’t play any planet zoo, that’s promising to hear maybe we’ll get some improvements with this too.
Ooo this looks exciting. I still wish planet coaster had park management more in line with RCT, but the addition of waterpark rides is tempting.
I wanted to have a cool geocities page, so I needed some HTML. Later I wanted to do downloads and forms… maybe a domain is in order. Learned some php and javascript. Discovered desktop languages, this C# stuff is pretty neat, I can do a lot with it. It’s versatile. Oops now I’m getting a paycheck for this silliness, and depending on it to eat.
