GS now expects the property sector to be a drag on Chinese economy through 2030

I’ll be curious if the next regime is less China friendly.

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

I already did one of these about battery powered tools, but how about beer? When I started drinking, you had your pick of shitty domestic lagers or more expensive, but still pretty shitty foreign lagers. The only dark option was Guinness.

Battery powered tools. The first ones I bought as a young adult were hot garbage. I went back to corded tools. I’ve gone back and the new generation actually work and are practical.

So much misogyny stems from soft *ss men, and these are the softest of the bunch

Economics 101 remains undefeated

The problem was never PowerPoint, it was always idiots who can’t use it.

This is a perfect Nazi weapon. “Does it work?” “Absolutely!” “Is it practical and mass producible?” *stares off to the horizon silently*

If I had my druthers, WWZ would be fully remade as a limited series, in the format of a 10-pt, 10 hr-long, Ken Burns'-style documentary. Interviews, intercuts, archival footage with voiceovers... the real "this is out of the historical zombie archive" feel

Imagine any D/R saying the same thing about a Soviet leader during the Cold War, and the reaction from their own party alone.

The Taiwan (ROC) Army demolished three piers of the Mingli Bridge in Fuli Township, Hualien County, on 10/20. The bridge had been damaged in an earthquake in 2022 and Typhoon Haikui in 2023.

Good job Marines. More please.

The County-Class cruisers of the Royal Navy and Royal Australian Navy were some of the most distinctive Allied ships of the Second World War. Built from 1926 in compliance with the Washington Naval Treaty, they initially displaced 10,000 tons, though this increased over time. 📷 William Howard Jarvis

Mind-blowing: By next year, the B-52 will have spent more of its service life after the Cold War than during it.

Way to go Japan!

I agree with Bell on the central point but I doubt current PRC leadership will include Confucian principles in their calculations about attacking Taiwan.

Me: It’s early and I’m tired, so I am going to take this Peloton run easy. Also me: That dude didn’t high-five me back, so I guess it’s on. (Beat him by 20 points) (Yes, I know I’m petty)

An acquisition program ahead of its time

South Korea’s stance on Ukraine has never made sense to me. Ukraine killing North Koreans and wanting to buy ROK gear seems like an easy match.

Tucker: “I never understood why 🇬🇧 fought World War 2?” 😕 Rees-Mogg: “It was good vs. evil…We did the right thing…” Tucker: “Has 🇬🇧 benefitted?” RM: “We defeated Hitler… We’d all be speaking German…” Tucker: “Who cares?” 🤔

It still amazes me how these chudfucks idolize the crusades as if they weren’t one and all massive, embarrassing failures, own goals against fellow Christian kingdoms, and flimflam artists selling children into slavery… Actually, on second thought, maybe it makes perfect sense

Anyone looking for a good book setting?

Standoff attacks, especially on civilians, don’t win wars. Pass it on.

Guy from HR, “So, when you say “death to the infidels” does that include our passengers?” *silence* Guy from HR, “I’m gonna keep that one blank for now.”

Swap Ukraine for Finland. Some things never change

They've added Grok to GenAI. I have my biases against Elon, but I would still use a useful tool. Grok is not that. It's by far the dumbest, most useless LLM out there. It's like random Google search, but worse. =

Showing the OG Willy Wonka to the girls. Grandpa Joe, who has been goldbricking for 20 years, getting to go with Charlie and not his mother, who has been caring for all them, is some straight up bullsh*t.

French aerospace defense firm Dassault Aviation will join the Minxiong Aerospace Park in Chiayi, southwestern Taiwan, set to open on 9/28. The site will serve as Taiwan's main hub for aerospace and drone R&D and play a crucial role in a democratic drone supply chain.
