lol its so over

today i learned that after the crack down on prostitution in KTVs, a lot of girls transitioned to golf coaches. same clientele, different location

crazy how the Toyota Alphard was the epitome of luxury and now its... nothing, you hear every imperfection, every rattle

Passing the age of 40, checking in on Facebook, and seeing your childhood friends have all turned into monster raving right wingers is truly a chilling feeling. Also a lot of them are already grandparents at 40/41.

This is what the average Model3's look like in China

Weapons-grade Big Altima Energy. The front was just as battered. And it shouldn’t surprise you to learn that he drove like a total a-hole.

Crazy how good Mac Mini's are - left mine running for 43+ days in a 40+ degree room and it's.... fine. just a true champ.

Chat, give me some ideas

Chinese kid on the chairlift pulled out his phone and showed me Big Shaq's Mans not Hot, he asked if the UK really has people like this. I didn't want to disappoint him, so I said yes. youtu.be/3M_5oYU-IsU?...

Looks good most new car buyers/leasers are post 90s or post 95, digitally native and will likely appreciate this.

Useless info for the day: Xi County in Xianyang, Henan, has been in continuous establishment for over 2700 years since 682BC. Never moved, never merged, county lines rarely altered, seat of power stayed the same for a millennia

There's a guy on Chinese socials saying he's driven his Giulia 210k km in six years, so I think the quality issues are overblown on social media.

Just so you all know, both Geely selling 100k and by BYD selling 170k cars in July globally (outside of China) has nothing to do with the price of oil.

Geely July sales rise 5% as exports set new record Geely Auto sold 106,663 vehicles overseas in July, topping 100,000 for the second consecutive month. cnev.co/Lc7AyBF 👇

skynomad is kinda average compared to Xiaomi's other cars, the six seat rails allowing for total control of seats and providing power to smart devices are interesting

Trying to watch House of the Dragon and just giving up because wtf is happening now

Always amazed by Michaels stories of following in the footsteps of 20th century explorer Joseph Rock who transcended classical Tibetan areas

wait - all this noise about the possibility of UK's North Sea Oil when its actual field only holds around 3bn barrels of oil? Saudi Arabia probably has 100bn (or larger) available right now

you know as a cyclist, this is the extent of my tan. im milky white everywhere else.

The richest man in the world will jump into the midterms "with a huge investment to boost Republican voter turnout" by "resuscitating his dormant super PAC, America PAC" which Musk "has authorized to spend $100-$120 million on a field program in at least 8 states to help elect Republicans." Oh.

Bernie Moreno was a car salesman with a record of wage theft and employment discrimination. Anthony Fauci was the director of NIAID from 1984 to 2022 and in 2008 was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his work fighting HIV/AIDS in that role.

Moreno to Fauci: "Who the fuck did you think you were?"

this is how China dealt with barbarians at the frontier for years, just pay them to stop bothering you

CHINA HAS HELD DIRECT TALKS WITH YEMEN'S HOUTHIS TO ALLOW CHINESE OIL TANKERS TO PASS SAFELY THROUGH THE BAB EL-MANDEB STRAIT AFTER THE IRAN-ALIGNED GROUP THREATENED VESSELS LINKED TO SAUDI PORTS

Following up on this because it's absolutely tripped whatever brand of autism I actually have. - Cannot find any historical example of a Reverend Gostrey in the UK or in China - The Anglican Church rep for the area was George Whitham Coultas in Hangchow - but he never mentions Fuyang church

Ash in China@ashinchina.bsky.social · 2mo ago

BSKY NERDS ASSEMBLE Nobody knows the pastors name, other than it was Reverend Gostrey. - Built in 1910 - In Hangzhou, Fuyang district - after the Rev died, his children fundraised for the church in the UK So how can I figure out his name? Even the pastor of this church has no idea.

Europe getting the Zeekr 9X is kinda cool.
