Baronjutter posted:It's too bad humans can't produce formula on their own. Like imagine if every mom had one (or maybe even two just in case) machines that could make safe healthy formula for free?? I dunno man, my sister had twins and let’s just say demand exceeded supply. If she couldn’t get formula for my nephews (and was so desperate she was watering it down  ) I’d be pretty pissed about by-the-pallet daigou buyers. Unsurprisingly the real problem here is with the Chinese side, years ago the formula manufacturers got in good and managed via advertising to convince a large percentage of the population that formula is better for infants than breast milk. They’re slowly rolling that idea back through education etc, but it’s a slow process. In the meantime there’s both a huge demand for formula and a huge (and not unfounded) mistrust of domestic stuff, so we end up with the current shitshow in Oz/NZ/parts of Europe. It always amazes me that my local supermarket in China has maybe 6 or 7 aisles total for dry goods, soft drinks, etc and of those one full aisle (both sides) is nothing but baby formula.

As someone with a one month old on formula I’m forever glad of this but I’m surprised I don’t hear about people buying up formula to sell back in China in the US. It can’t be that we’re too far of they’re doing it in Europe. Are we just too big to notice?

I talk about Korea a lot because my Korean gf, who I met on tinder in DC, flies me back and forth every month or two. And I guess I'm moving there? I'm moving there.

Yep, single mom. The ex husband is French, though. And no, I haven't watched it. It sounds a little depressing! I don't think girls get publicity shamed for dating foreigners anymore, at least not in seoul. But, then again, most of her friends are Gyopos or wealthier women, some of whom date foreigners themselves. I haven't met many ignorant Korean stereotypes because the only Koreans I ever speak to are well heeled and well travelled.

It can’t be that we’re too far of they’re doing it in Europe. Are we just too big to notice? The prevailing belief is that European brands make better formula than American brands due to manufacturing standards. There is a small market of people importing European formulas (mainly Holle/Hipp/Aptimal) for rich parents in the US.

Lupin posted:China builds super-cool futuristic library: Not pictured: Filing system. Ladders. Imagine you are looking for a specific book in this unindexed library. You will have to crawl/walk/fly all over the place. There is roughly a 30% chance that the book you’re looking for is somewhere at ankle level. A 10% chance it’s at human height, and a 60% chance it’s way out reach, and there is no way to actually get to it. E: My mistake, the highest rows are not actual books.

This got a laugh out of me. Guardian: Believe in socialism not sorcery, China tells party membersquote:“Some don’t believe in Marx and Lenin but believe in ghosts and gods; they don’t believe in ideals but believe in sorcery; they don’t respect the people but do respect masters,” wrote Chen, who was last month handed a spot on China’s 25-member Politburo.

It shouldn't be happening in the first place and taking an event in isolation isn't an argument. I don't think anybody takes Donald's talk about using Nuclear weapons in isolation other than his supporters and death cults.
