But you generally don’t find railroad ties and dead animals in loads of US SBM.

not everything about the “rules based” international system is bad. it’s like having a turd in each hand and somebody telling you the turd in the right hand is worse.

back when I was in the intl SBM trade it was lol
when our Japanese customer’s customer would send me back 2 flies they found during unloading.

there was a bird once and then we installed like fake birds of prey things and have air blowing outward from loading so poo poo doesn’t come in. I’m pretty glad I’m out of intl soybeans because the company burned me out.

you better believe I insured every shipment, but we sold it with insurance included per the incoterms(which btw everyone gets wrong, I got tired of correcting people)

I once asked Blue Cross Blue poo poo to refer me to a psychiatrist. They gave me a list. I called 3 of them on the list, who all promptly told me they don't take my insurance and that the initial appointment was $500, I poo poo you not.



all my mental health provider acquaintances that went to private practice take no insurance and they’re the problem.

when my spouse flirted with the idea of doing private for her mental health practice a lot of places were fee for service and she told them that unless they took at least Medicaid it was a no thanks. if she started her own it would
definitely be for insurance. would be less money but she wouldn’t have a contradiction constantly in her mind.

i still do not understand what this is. you make your own games or some bullshit? is it like an even dumber, more gamble-y minecraft?

supposedly hundreds of millions of kids (?) play it, but to my knowledge no one's kids in my ecosphere i.e. spouse's friends' kids does. maybe it's an income bracket thing?

from what I can tell Roblox is bottom of the barrel open environment where people play user generated worlds that might as well just be chat rooms. my nephew watches some dude on YouTube load up Roblox worlds that are “find the pop culture thing” and that’s it.

and now because of Roblox my nephew has a ton of pop culture references without the context. it’s real loving stupid.

as for income, my nephews family is a <$100k annually. when I ask for gift ideas it’s always Roblox gift cards.

by comparison Minecraft is an elegant exploration game.

iphones are pretty easy to repair and you can go to a cell phone repair place to swap batteries for you. androids are a mix. especially with glass backs.

also i think most phones will stop software updates after 3-5 years? that and batteries are the only reason to get a new phone.

computers/tvs feel like they hit a max. i dont want more hd its too much. everything looks too real

the phone releases are so incremental I just replaced my 12’s battery. I’ll probably get a new one once it isn’t supported anymore.

Premier League games in the US, for the moment, are actually in a fairly good place with Peacock. I can usually count on being able to watch the game and be able to watch it later. No blackouts. I guess it's because it's a foreign league so there's a little less incentive to screw around and there's no concern about not filling the stadia.

NBC is loving it up with some games on peacock plus.
