  1. Better than you, obviously. Generate your chart from Jan 20 until today, not from the bottom of the tarrif fiasco before the TACO trade kicked in and boosted the market.
  2. So you don't understand how loan sharks work either?
  3. Sorry MAGA, no jobs. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/06/30/style/edward-burtynsky-china-africa-snap CNN — Depicting endless rows of uniformed workers, Edward Burtynsky’s iconic images of mid-2000s Chinese factories spoke to the seemingly inexhaustible human labor behind China’s economic miracle. Just two decades later, the photographer’s glimpse inside an electric car plant near Shanghai presents the opposite phenomenon: a complete absence of people. “This is a factory built by humans but run by robots,” Burtynsky said of the facility, which is owned by top Chinese automaker BYD, on a Zoom call. “I think it’s a foreshadowing of where our future is.” BYD is at the forefront of a technological revolution. Last year, the company’s annual revenues surpassed American rival Tesla’s for the first time as it delivered 4.27 million vehicles (the 1.76 million EVs it produced in 2024 was just short of Tesla’s 1.79 million, but the Chinese company also delivered around 2.5 million hybrid vehicles). Its success is, partly, down to price: BYD’s entry-level model, the Seagull, starts at around $10,000 in China, a fraction of the $32,000 Tesla charges for its least expensive offering, the Model 3. And this affordability is, partly, down to highly automated manufacturing. In 2023, Burtynsky was granted rare access to a BYD plant in Changzhou, a city about two hours’ drive from Shanghai. He obtained permission through the personal connections of British architect Sir Norman Foster, who wanted a cover image for Domus, a magazine he was guest-editing about the future of various industries, including transportation. The Canadian photographer said the BYD plant had a “cathedral-esque” quality.
  4. So a 500 baht loan and 50% a week interest? You do understand how these loans work here, right?
  5. Dunno how that happened. It shows correctly now though and I didn't do anything.
  6. Good job Trump. Back to the levels the market was at when he took over. Not because of anything Trump did but because of TACO. Clearly not sustainable with July 9th coming real soon.
  7. Yes, somebody needs to do the jobs nobody wants to do that the unlawful immigrants were doing.
  8. Always start with clotrimazole cream 2-3 times daily. You been showering daily?
  9. What had the gay marriage video got to do with the accident?
  10. Karma is a bitch. I wonder how much the original loan was.
  11. Bumrungrad provided a sponsor letter to me and also the Vancouver Thai embassy/consulate. The DTV was approved in a couple of hours. But then again, I've spent almost 3m baht there in the last couple of years. YMMV of course.
  12. This thread, like most others these days has turned into a MAGA circle jerk.
  13. And that's why people poison them, barking all night.
  14. I was in an accident in a first world country as a teenager. The car turned from a side street onto the main road where my motorcycle was driving. This scenario is similar to doing. U-turn. I struck the car from the rear. The investigating officer said that if the entering vehicle made it completely into the lane then it's the fault of the rear vehicle, in that case, me. Once a vehicle is in the lane, the overtaking vehicle is always at fault.
  15. The driver of the truck is at fault. Any accident where a vehicle is struck from the rear is the fault of the vehicle in the rear. If he hit the side of the bike, different story.
  16. Anybody taking bets on how long it will take Trump to pardon him?
  17. That describes all Russians above the working class.
  18. I'm sure glad I switched to DTV from retirement.
  19. I would but they don't have an emergency exit row in business class.
  20. Get the info here, one of the best sources out there. Depending on the situation the drugs may change so I'm not going to discuss the ones we used. https://www.merckmanuals.com/professional/gastrointestinal-disorders/gastritis-and-peptic-ulcer-disease/helicobacter-pylori-infection?query=Ppi#Diagnosis_v892025
  21. According to an interview of Trump that I saw, he expressed surprise that they went to 5%. This proves he had nothing to do with the increase, it was all Putin.
  22. This is about Stephen Miller, not Biden. Are you obsessed with Biden?
  23. If you trust him put it into joint accounts. Problem solved. Doesn't work for the 800k for immigration though.
