I’m glad we are backing away from that retarded ‘peace plan’.

I hate, hate, hate when I fix something and I don’t know why the fix worked (or what the fix even was…). I want my suffering to result in something learned so it doesn’t happen again.

I’m not an expert on this, but I know it’s common to use things like tranquilizers intended for farm animals.

For an external drive? I guess I have never experienced that since external drives are already pretty slow.

Yeah, you will generally have a better time with exFAT, which is a format both Windows and Linux works with well. All my external drives get formatted as such.

The money will instead be redirected to critical health care construction projects.

This seems fine.

Ah, I really like that idea.

Is there a source on this?

Weird. Do they not have the equivalent of CoinStar there? It’s a nice occasional boost when the coin jar gets full.

Time to go to your closest museum and get a penny squished and imprinted!

Melting a modern penny is actually kinda neat. The zinc on the inside melts first, which turns the whole thing into a blobby copper flask. Then at some point the copper rips and all the zinc pours out.

You can do it with any small torch.

Yeah, they effectively don’t matter. People can do whatever they want with them. Most will continue to sit in the jar they have lived in the last 10 years.

China barely pays their workers. Hell, they don’t even let you use services in the city you live in unless you were born there. Lots of people travel to the cities seasonally since they are prevented from doing anything reasonable where they work.

It’s not surprising they don’t want to spend, China has engineered an economy where huge portions of the domestic population have no spending power or even a stable place to live.
