My bro in law sells boba tea supplies from Taiwan to all your favorite boba tea stores.

He had a container that he was about to send but cancelled it because his margin is less than 10% and his stores he supports also runs a lean margin.

Last week he decided to close one of his warehouses in Portland, letting go of 20 people and a few hundred stores that depend on him.

When asked why he doesn't just up the price, he said that if he did, the mass majority of the stores he supports won't make it and the Oregon warehouse is barely breaking even.

Funny thing about him is that he sat out this election and now he regrets it.

More stable, haha. I was just randomly surfing around and my computer goes to sleep and can't wake up.

Also randomly, my computer won't go into sleep mode when I close my laptop. It works about 90% of the time, but that 10% is when I pull my laptop out of my laptop bag and my computer is on fire and fans full blast trying to cool itself. The OS came from IBM installed.

Real question. Doesn't the computer actually slow down when you have that much memory? Doesn't the CPU need to seek into a bigger vast vs a smaller memory set?

Or is this an old school way of thinking?

This is my gaming workflow.

Find game on steam I want to play

Check pricing history

Pirate game to see if it's worth the current price

If it isn't, I put it on my wishlist and continue playing until it goes on sale.

If the game turns out to be very good, then I buy it when it goes on sale.

I have one of those Coke machines on top in my man cave. The root beer stains like crazy. If you run coke through the root beer spout, it will taste like coke with root beer flavor regardless how much you clean or purge the system.

Good luck man. We need more people like you.

Ya, but I also installed fdroid pretty easily without the system blocking me.

I used to work as a teller at a bank. That bag of money is over 100k.

Lol, no - Trump, probably

Yikes, I didn't think of that. It would be a convenient way for them to prove that they are some Mexican gang member.

One thing I noted is that the majority of the people that got deported had tattoos.

Are they intentionally seeking people like that?
