REMINDER: The death penalty evolved from lynching. It has no place in a justice system worthy of that name.

What.

I don't know how it's possible to write code without listening to techno. Or if it even is possible. If you're struggling to code, I highly suggest some techno with headphones. Makes all the difference.

@realcaseyrollins @igel @realcaseyrollins It's not a high priority but it would be pretty easy to add I think. Maybe @crockwave can do it.

Leo has new advertiser - Linux bois - so TWiT LLC is saved. Funnily enough that advertiser advertises only on Windows podcast 😂:

@igel Reminds me of those video games that say: "You've been playing for a long time now. Are you sure you want to continue?" Wish I could find a screenshot, lol.

Seems like it would go hand-in-hand with the demetricator feature. I added that one specifically for @mk 😆
@alex I have an idea for soapboxFE: post limiter. A counter you can set in your settings for a day, and if you reach that number of posts, you cant post anymore for the rest of the day. Might be useful to fight social media addiction

I certainly would use it

Hey @TheRickWilson - Do you and your wife usually use the term "negro" to describe black Americans? Perhaps while sitting on your "South Will Rise Again" confederate flag cooler?Not very woke! #RacistRickWlson Rick Wilson: cc: @DonaldJTrumpJr twitter.com/therickwilson/stat twitter.com/DonaldJTrumpJr/sta #Trump

Why does everything have to be "made in China"? 

Many people are telling you that things are made in China because of the cheap labor price here. I admit that it is one of the reasons, especially for the early days in 1990s when China just reformed and opened to the world, however, it is definitely not the primary reason because, as many people would also say, there are many places where the labor price is much cheaper than that of China.

So what is the primary reason that manufacturers tend to manufacture things in China and procurement managers tend to purchase from China? I think it is because China has a relatively complete industrial system.

As you probably know, the aerospace technology is the representation of a country’s overall strength in industry. China sent its first satellite to the space in 1970. China is one of the few countries that can send people to space. That means China can pretty much make everything that is required in the most complex industrial project that human being ever had.

I am not saying that China has the most advanced technology in the world. It does not. However, a complete industrial system means that it has no apparent shortfall, and that is not something that every country has. With the complete industrial system that can compare with the US, Europe, and Japan, and the cheap labor price that can almost compare with Africa, why wouldn’t you choose to do manufacturing in China?

There are many other advantages that China has:

Millions of well trained industrial workers
Good infrastructure including the high-speed railway system that can reach almost every corner of this vast country, the world’s largest ports, the communication network that covers the most remote area of this country, the huge huge cities that gather tens of millions of people…
Cheap energy
Political stability
Trust me, you may not be able to find another place that is more suitable to do manufacturing than China.

If you live in the US, you are already very privileged compared to many other countries in the world... but nobody seems to want to talk about that. It's always about race or gender within the US.
