    The US government banning anything based on suspected use of forced labor is laughable. Pretty blatantly anti-China, and very hypocritical when a lot of US states use glorified slave labor. It is quicker to name the large US companies that don't use prison labor than the ones that do.

    This is exactly what I was thinking of. American liberals are almost entirely ignorant of how much violence their government exports -- and especially how much of it is targeted specifically at leftists. Marxists haven't gained power in the US because any time they started to build working-class support they got murdered.

    Not really a surprise; the political establishment of even the Republican party got really sick of Trump during his time in office because of the chaos. He didn't behave like the typical useful idiot President and torpedoed a couple of easy legislative victories by tweeting in rage when they were almost through Congress.

    "Marxists have failed to gain power because they think too much" is one hell of a liberal elitist take from the author of this article.

    Table tennis is one of those games that takes such an insane amount of finesse. Every time I've tried it I've felt so clumsy. How could anyone think it's easy?

    Every foreign government at this point knows Trump is really easy to bribe and influence, so they want him back in charge. Certainly not unique to China.

    That's awesome -- for folks who didn't read the article they actively tested the reactor's passive cooling by shutting off all its power systems. It cooled itself to ambient temperature with no meltdown in less than 35 hours with no active coolant flow.

  • If you need advice that particular kind of DIY, feel free to post here and tag me or DM me directly. Hopefully I can be very helpful to some of you folks who either can't afford to pay expensive mechanics or want to learn on your own. I work as an independent mobile mechanic in middle Tennessee (for now). My primary work is motorcycles and small engines, but I've done plenty of work on cars too. I used to post quite often on r/fixxit back before I left Reddit. Pic is an example of my work. That's one of my motorcycles, which I resurrected from the dead. I took that picture while was riding to the small town of Cave-In-Rock, Illinois, to rebuild 4 carburetors for a customer, and in line waiting on a ferry to cross the Ohio river.
