China is going to be the next Germany: a loser in the new world without globalization

I doubt Bill Hicks was that rich. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgzQuE1pR1w

Or Bukowski. Or Lenny Bruce. Or any other number of people "in the trenches".

In Spanish it's commonly "dardo venenoso" (venomous dart), no "dardo ponzoñoso" (poisonous dart). So it's probably incorrectly used in English.

Or zombified to make requests on a specific target, to harm them or you.

Did you try running it through a pi-hole?

Can you comment on the finantial situation that allows you to do that?

They said they live cheaply.

I think most people just don't get this. It's quite possible to be happy not spending that much money.

Living cheaply is relative though. I have no idea if this person’s living cheaply is doable on my current savings so it’s meaningless to me until I have some hard numbers.

The trick is living cheaply while earning. Not starting living cheaply only once the money-hose dries up. Obviously, this advice is too late for many people.

Are there banned words? Seems like there's no way to generate an Alien like chess set.

They probably intercepted communications between those other houses and the target, and determined they should also pay the price.

If Monkey Hitman can be a TV show, then so can Mafia Elephants.

Any better tea to recommend? I'm used to Twinnings as the best I can find where I live, but I'm open to other brands if they're better.

Ahmad and Impra are both several cuts above Twinings, not expensive (especially as bulk loose-leaf) and can be found in standard grocery stores, or ordered online.

If you've a specialty tea shop nearby, that's all but certainly better, though it can be pricey.

You'll find there's a whole new world out there, and may regret discovering a taste for real whole-leaf teas.

Greens, whites, blacks, fermented, oolongs, darjeelings, matcha, gunpowder, pu'er, etc.

There are also herbal teas, such as rooibos, not made from sinchilla (tea plant), but also tasty.

Best is to buy a bag of loose tea from a tea shop. The leaves are whole, it's not powder. It's usually not hard to find, but they don't sell it at most supermarkets.

Next is that UFOs are real

Unidentified Flying Objects are absolutely real, though the newer cool kid term is UAP.

(From the internet: UAP stands for "unidentified anomalous phenomena.")

It's flying saucers carrying aliens from another planet that's controversial and up for debate.

>It's flying saucers carrying aliens from another planet that's controversial and up for debate.

Which is what "UFO" means to 99% of people.

I hate seeing it used that way on HN though because it actively undermines meaty discussion of objective data and promotes the treatment of articles about objective data as click-bait, like it's the "hot sheets" of Men in Black -- like HN is a place to take seriously the wildest conspiracy theories with no real basis.

But it's not what it means to the united states government when it announced it had seen UFOs, which is the point of discussion

I thought UAP stands for "unidentified aerial/aerospace phenomenon". Anyway it's better than UFO because it primes you for the fact that many "UFOs" are not flying at all. Many are stars, lights of all kinds, or artifacts of the the recording equipment.

I thought so too. I googled it and came up with the above quote but didn't provide the link.

Happy to be corrected if someone has a good source they can cite.

It is a better term overall and also lacks the baggage of being used colloquially to mean "aliens."

> It's flying saucers carrying aliens from another planet that's controversial and up for debate.

No, it isn't. There's some people out there stuck down in a conspiracy hole, but there is no real debate.

USAF has had LK-99 for 20 years and the UFOs are just sightings of them testing levitation engines.

LK-99, as its name suggests, was discovered 24 years ago.
