but also struggled with the same: planning on buying female usb a ports to resolder on the motherboard, also male ports for my io peripherals. also humidity is ur enemy, much of my ports are ruined due to corrrosion. run ur ac people!

people should retire early at 55: employer funds their retirement for the next 15 years or so, then all elderly need to be gathered in social housing or eldery homes to save on hosting costs, reducing their pension to relieve the stress on the working class (but also tax employers correclty, employers are undertaxed)…but i cant imagine employers and politicians not peggybacking this…usually the goverment is the third party safeguard that is regulating all this to maintain a functioning society but most of the time the gov integrity is compromised by lobbies and all…

agreed

chinese phones are the best: although the hong kongian brand that i am using now has higer features/price ratio: for 200$, infinix offers a lot of features compared to other phone brands like xiaomi. some of xiaomi 1000$ phones are absurd. also chinese phones are now stuck in 6nm process nodes, since the semiconductor embargo…idk how this would fare in the future…

i always liked refurbished samsung flagships

electrolyzers consume about 44kwh per kg H2 generated, and solar ain’t efficient either:200w capacity per m²…

00:00:00 In this section, the narrator discusses the origins and purpose of managers. Management as a career with defined responsibilities and privileges only became a thing a little over a century ago. The rise of managers was a response to the growing socialist movement in the early 1900s, as capitalism faced criticism and threats to its power. Capitalists adopted small parts of socialist complaints and incorporated them into their businesses and government to avoid a revolution. Management and managerial discourse became tools to appease people’s anger and maintain capitalist control. The capitalist ruling class used managers to survive criticism and ensure the continuation of the capitalist system. 00:05:00 In this section, the video discusses how the creation of middle management was a response to the criticisms and discontent caused by capitalism. By introducing managers, the capitalist class could maintain their power while giving the illusion of upward mobility and success. However, this strategy only worked for a while as the left found new ways to voice their discontent, leading to the rise of international socialism and the threat of revolution. Capitalism responded to these criticisms by absorbing and appropriating a small part of them, just enough to survive and quiet down the revolutionary masses. This led to the emergence of neoliberalism and a shift towards self-management and flexible career paths in the workplace. 00:10:00 In this section, the speaker discusses the evolving role of managers in post-60s capitalism. With the rise of temporary and part-time work, as well as self-monitoring employees, the traditional managerial position becomes less relevant. Many workers recognize that the manager’s role is essentially useless and is often there only to appease upset customers. However, this useless job serves a purpose for the owner class, as it acts as a shield for capital. The speaker argues that real freedom and financial security can only be achieved by overcoming the entrenched powers of capitalism and joining grassroots movements for change. 00:15:00 In this section, the video concludes with a reminder to viewers to support the channel by trying out the al-13 product.

00:00:00 In this section, the speaker discusses the first step in the note-taking method: annotating or active reading. The idea is to read the text as if you were going to explain it to a beginner, focusing on jargon or vocabulary that needs to be defined, important passages, and unclear parts that need further explaining. The speaker suggests using underlines, stars, and question marks to mark these sections in the text. They also mention adding book tabs or sticky notes as bookmarks and reminders for reviewing specific pages. If using a digital device like an iPad or Kindle, the process is similar but may require additional note-taking methods. The key to active reading is being in the right frame of mind and staying focused. The speaker also mentions Aura, an app that helps with focus and mindfulness. 00:05:00 In this section, the emphasis is on creating an outline of the section you just read and summarizing it in a sentence or two. The outline should reflect how you would teach the content to someone else, serving as a lesson plan or study guide. By defining vocabulary terms and highlighting major points, the outline becomes a comprehensive tool for understanding and teaching the material. While writing by hand improves retention, digital tools like Rome or Obsidian provide convenience in refining and revising the outline. The process can be repeated for future sections of the book, leading to the creation of a larger outline for the entire book, which can be adjusted based on the level of detail required. This note-taking method is not limited to books, but can also be adapted for learning new skills or subjects like programming languages. Ultimately, the act of teaching ourselves enhances our own understanding and retention of the content.

00:00:00 In this section, we learn about how the chicken tax, initially a retaliatory tax on imported American poultry, ended up shaping the modern pickup truck market. After Europe heavily taxed American poultry imports, the United States responded by imposing a 25% tax on certain European imports, including light trucks. This tax was pushed for by American automakers who were already feeling pressure from European imports. The tax applied to light trucks based on the number of rows of seats they had, creating loopholes for Japanese trucks that were sent as rolling chassis and later assembled in the US. Ford also faced consequences years later when their push for the tax resulted in their own Ford Transit Connect vehicles being subject to it. Today, the chicken tax is still in effect. 00:05:00 In this section, the speaker explains how the Chicken Tax, which imposed a tariff on imported light trucks in the 1950s and 60s, has had a lasting impact on the market for trucks. While the tax on brandy dextrin and potato starch has since been dropped due to new trade agreements, European trucks have been decimated in the US market. This also explains the scarcity of K trucks and why foreign-built trucks are still uncommon in the US. The speaker finds it interesting how the Chicken Tax shaped trucks in that era and continues to influence the market today.
