"Party in the desert" somebody called it.
I forget how. But it's right. I mostly see zap this, zap that on here. Little substance so far.
Man with the hammer syndrome. That's probably Munger's most valuable heuristic.
This Ver dude is gonna lose his shit so hard if he ever figures it out.
Dude literally had to do nothing and was gonna be set for a million live times.
It's good stuff.
If you like this show, consider The Wire next. Similar subject matter, story told completely differently and the show is arguably even better (hard to believe!)
I was surprised initially that some things are more than in neighboring Thailand. The tax explains it (and is about the difference in price)
I am traveling through south east Asia and often wonder what keeps a country poor around here.
Currently in Laos 🇱🇦, I learn today that import duties are 60 percent here.
60 fucking percent of any import, the government steals from the importer. That explains a lot of it, they rely on imports considering they don't have a lot of industry here.

I think I misremember and he said "can't hunt". Anyway. Have you heard that one @charlemagne

Yeah, no. I don't think so 😂
Matter of time until Francis comes over here. Currently the last reason to be on the bird for me

If you're young enough, you're gonna have to provided we're right about this thing (and the other one)
ffmpeg is quite good at a bunch of esoteric things as well. Like time lapse speed up.
Muting threads would be a nice yo have feature on here. Somebody saw fit to reply to a zap bot and then all hell broke lose. Rip my mentions
ffmpeg is a cli alternative. From memory, handbrake uses that for the work performed.
Most scatter around the center
The local currency here is such a basket case, they accept Thai Baht, USD and Japanese Yen in this cafe.
