This is correct - Taiwan still accounts for over 50% of the global supply, and we've already seen the knock on effects in other industries from the current shortage.
New fab plants are being built in the US, but won't come online until next year, and volume production won't start until 2024.
Karl Urban was in it too.
Worked well as a kinda 80's action movie throwback. Good dumb fun.
The first person sequence was awesome.
Totally ok because Russians are white.
This reply summed it up pretty well:
And this is why we must all live in WEF approved city pods. Nobody should be allowed to own property outside of the approved pod zone other than BlackRock and Bill Gates. Plus they can Door Dash your dinner bugs right to you much easier.
If you liked True Detective, you might like Bosch (based on a series of books)
Justified is a good watch too (also based on a series of books), with Timothy Oliphant and Walton Goggins both putting in solid performances.
Heh - even their 'big budget' stuff is fake.
Marital arts and gangster / cop films are usually better (specifically HK cinema).
Good. They've hastened their inevitable demise.
Haha those pictures gave me flashbacks to my bucks night.
Big titties and round butts? That's something I could ahem get behind.
Not from the US (in case it's not obvious from my username lol) - but, damn, this was a good speech.
Lists all the shit he's got done without sounding arrogant or boastful, rather a lead by example kinda guy.
He used humour and a bit of self deprecation to good effect as well.
Fake and gay.
The real reason those babies died was becuase the Adeladie hospital was too cheap to purchase the required medical equpment, despite the fact that they were recommended to do so back in 2018 and the fact that this equipement would have given a return on invesment in less than 2 years.

Eh? That's like the Aussie version of the Conferate flag...
The corruption watchdog found that police had failed to tell Mr Atkins why he was being detained as they arrested him or shortly afterwards, provide him care after dousing him with capsicum spray and that some officers did not turn on their body-worn cameras.
So they ran the guy down in a police car, kicked him in the head so badly he needed to be put in an induced coma, failed to give him medical assitance afterwards, and conveniently body cameras were not turned on. One cop has had a paid holiday for a year (suspended with full pay) and the other one is not allowed to drive a police car but no other disciplinary action. And no-one faced any charges for this.
What a pack of corrupt cunts. I hope that lawyer sues the pants off them.
Two reasons:
-
Politics - The government has to be seen to be doing something to tackle the issue, since to ignore it would be political suicide. But if they push vaccines, and the number of deaths and hospitalizations drop, they generate the perception they are acting responsibly and this can actually boost their approval ratings.
-
Lack of Infrastructure - most governments know that if their public health infrastructure cannot cope with a massive influx of patients, especially in ICU's, where places are very limited. Delta being much more virulent, risks exposing this information to the general public, and the resulting optics would be terrible for the government. Promoting a vaccine that reduces the severity of the symptoms not only avoids this exposure, but shifts the onus back onto the public (YOU need to do the right thing and take the jab, if not enough people vaccinated, it's YOUR fault)

I'm against mask mandates, but posting shit like this doesn't help.
Face masks If you have been in South East Queensland since 1am AEST 29 June 2021, you must carry a face mask with you at all times, unless 14 days have passed since you were last in the area. You must wear a face mask at all times when you are outside your home, unless:
you are alone in your car or with the members of your household you are eating or drinking you are at your usual workplace and can physically distance from others (except if you work in a hospitality venue or are a passenger transport operator) you are alone outdoors or with members of your household it is unsafe. There are some other exceptions to wearing face masks, including for children under 12 and people with particular medical conditions or disabilities. If in doubt, wear a face mask.
I've never read any of his books - which one is a good place to begin?
Still makes me chuckle even though I've seen that sketch so many times I've lost count.
Not gonna lie - that was very entertaining reading.
Not a huge fan of Avi Yemini, but kudos to him for standing his ground.
Not only has Victoria Police's conduct throughout the pandemic has been very heavy handed, they don't even know thier own damn rules.
I don't play the game either, but from what they are saying it sounds like in-game mechanics to prevent you from being 1-shotted by NPC's - i.e. damage that would instantly kill you instead drops you to a very low health . But it's on a cooldown, so it's going to save you someimes, but not all the time. These type of mechanics may get suspended on boss fights as well, depending on the type on encounter it is.
I assume they want to keep the exact workings hidden from the player to prevent players from exploting it.
The Division had something similar in place - it was more like a 'you just fucked up, but we're giving you another chance' thing, but didn't work against certains NPC's like the hunters who would one-shot melee you if you got too close.
I think pre-Covid, people had a fairly high confidence in vaccines in general.
But then you had the Covid vaccines being rushed through trials that would typically number in years rather than months.
Add to this that mRNA vaccines (e.g.: Moderna) are relatively new and at the onset of Covid, no mRNA drug or vaccine had been licensed for use in humans. The had in fact, up to this point in time, very poor results testing mRNA drugs for cardiovascular, metabolic and renal diseases, selected targets for cancer; and rare diseases like Crigler–Najjar syndrome, with most tests finding that the side-effects of the mRNA delivery methods were too serious (link).
Also add to this traditional protein based vaccines (e.g. AstraZeneca) have been shown to have caused serious side effects (TTS - thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome), even death in some cases. Overall the rate of TTS is estimated to be about 6 cases per million people vaccinated. But the rate is estimated to be higher (20-40 cases per million) in those under 50 years of age. As a point of comparison, a severe allergic reaction to the Polio vaccine is around 1 case per million.
And finally you have big tech and the MSM (which people already have low confidence in their ability to report accurately or impartially) actively trying to censor, or shut down any discussion around why people might want to hold off getting the vaccine, making it look like they have something to hide. And yet organisations like the BBC get a surprised Pikachu face when they see the number of antivaxxers are jumping up substantially.
People (in general) aren't as stupid as the media would like them to be.
How about Covindaloo
