  • It's an individual thing, some people "stink" easily. from google:

    research points to the ABCC11 gene as directly responsible for underarm odor. Oddly enough, this gene also determines whether people produce wet or dry earwax. Interestingly, those who tend to produce dry earwax also lack the necessary chemical needed to feed the bacteria that cause underarm odor.

    East Asians have dry earwax.

    From an Anti-Imperialist standpoint, Trump would be the better POTUS. US politicians, especially the Dems, like to mask their Imperialist adventures with words like "Democracy" and "human rights", but Trump doesn't care for projecting a kind and soft form of hard diplomacy, he says it's about resources and US domination of the world.

    Anything small is cheaper on aliexpress. Large heavy items, shipping will be high, so you can probably buy large/heavy items cheaper locally, since they will order in bulk. I bought a Lenova tablet off aliexpress, that was over $100 cheaper than buying the same model/specs off bestbuy.




  • He has power and he has skillz, but he has no gas tank. He knocked Joseph Parker down twice before the half, then didn't do anything for the remainder of the fight and Parker won an easy decision victory. Even in Parker's corner, his coach told Parker to avoid Zhang for the first 30 seconds of each round and he'll gas.

    His next fight with Wilder is really do or die for both guys, winner can potentially have another big Saudi payday, while the loser probably retires. Zhang is already 41 (?), he started his professional career late. I actually remember watching is professional debut, then he didn't do much till his fights with Hrgovic and Joyce.

    The US political class knows the heavy Saudi involvement, but everyone has to kiss the Saudi's ass.

    Even the Saudi's hubris let's slip sometimes, like when Saudi and Canada had a little spat, one of hte Saudi orgs tweeted a pic of a plane flying towards the CN tower:
