Fish swim, birds fly, Soviets errors get blamed on Yugoslavia, Yugoslav errors get misindentified.

Good. Also I think going "oh this monster was someone you could make a deal with" is horseshit and I hope that Vietnam and Combodia can get together to send a big jar of piss to his funeral.

It's closer to 2% but every little bit counts when it comes to medical expenses.

saw some great news making rounds on bilibili: fully domestic chinese production of DDR5 and LPDDR5 has started, same for their 7nm DUV litho tools

in the case for the RAM that's a much much faster entry into the market than the previous two generations

could you talk about the economy of yugoslavia? from what i understand there was a pretty big collectivization effort early on and to good effect, but then efforts just stopped?

someone in another thread described yugoslavia as market socialism, and that doesnt really sound right to me

I went on a two-day backpacking trip through the Vietnamese jungle where it rained the entire time, and I have some thoughts about the audacity of invading that place.

Another interesting thing was traveling a portion of the Ho Chi Minh trail through the central highlands and seeing some of the caves that the North Vietnamese used to hide people and supplies. We drove by a cave that was used as a hospital during the war -- the US bombed it and trapped a team of nurses inside, dooming them to a slow death. The cave is revered as a sacred place now and visited by people seeking the nurses' blessing.
