Also all the material I need I need to build that production plant is under a 104% tariff. NBD.

That's kinda my point though. I could see them giving up on Taiwan at least temporarily if they're able to fill the power void left by the USA instead. China has been pushing to become a service economy instead of a manufacturing economy for a while now, but the rest of the world didn't trust them enough for it to work. This would change that equation.

The CEO of brave is a homophobic bigot if that helps push anyone over the edge for changing their browser. It was the last straw for me.

I'm not really surprised. They're the only nation really equipped to step into the power vacuum America is leaving behind and I'm sure it isn't lost in Xi the kind of stability and influence that gave America over the years.

The only question (and frankly the one they're asking here) is will what's left of the free world accept them even though they're not really a free nation.

I mean it also plowed through a kid because it was foggy, then rainy. The wall was just one of the tests the tesla failed.

Xbmc didn't become plex. It's still alive and kicking but rebranded to Kodi (mostly because it had little to do with xbox anymore) ages ago.
