There's no way she didn't know that smuggling select agents wasn't a pound me in ass prison issue.
"I don't know the specific situation, but I would like to emphasize that the Chinese government has always required overseas Chinese citizens to abide by local laws and regulations and will also resolutely safeguard their legitimate rights and interests," said Liu Pengyu, spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy
You'd be really, really surprised. This is a tongue-in-cheek statement. The Chinese regularly turn a blind eye to companies which export and import plant material illegally, allowing whole cottage industries to spring up which set up shipping arrangements to contravene inspections. Most of these packages get through, and it's mostly overseas Chinese nationals ordering them. The mentality seems to be that as long as the plants are doused in insecticide before shipment then the phytosanitary certificate is just a scam - they apply the idea of a party official looking for a bribe to US customs officials looking for such certificates. People drastically underestimate how little respect the Chinese have for American regulations, which they largely see as burdensome and nonsensical. And sometimes they're right, just not in the case of shipping biological materials over state lines.

No lmao, they know. Because on paper the Chinese import regulations are even stricter than the United States.
I have had the misforturne of being stuck with the task of brining germplasm into China properly and that was an extreme pain the in ass. I also used to be involved in exporting agricultural goods to China. The rules only apply when they want it too (eg; as a tool in tariff wars). It's not like the US where you can get a specific reason for a denial, and what test it failed. Everything is just "National Security" (Not that US doesn't abuse the fuck out of that either).
 
Most 'doc in the box' places, as they used to call urgent care, won't or can't even give real painkillers. You can go in with a broken arm but all they'll do is ultram or prescribed level ibuprofen at most. Not even basic vicodin. They're ok for things like a bad flu or something, but I learned my lesson on trying them if you're actually injured, don't bother.
A buddy of a buddy runs a docinnabox here, and his big moneymaker now? Ozempic. They can technically sell it off label if you come in and request it, like say if you follow any of the giant signs they have up talking about the magic weight loss drug. $100 for the first appointment and $40-70 for each weekly afterwards depending on how much you decide you want.
 
Why the fuck would you smuggle f. graminearum? It's widely avalible in the US (In fact, it's naturalized here).
Goodness I do apologize for the Politisperging/Powerleveling I’m going to do but I truly hope they throw the book at these chinks. I grew up on a farm and had to deal with this shit destroying our families crops and losing us lots of money and valuable crops. Fuck these gooks for trying to bring more of it in here.
 

Fully agreed. Start building in things only you know how to fix. You WILL be made to train them, and they will know the whole time that you are training them to replace you.
At bare minimum, start building things in that a white guy who actually cares can fix, but not something that can be panic entered into ChatGPT as "ples saar gpt are malfunction why are code base not work fucking ples i am brahmin caste ples are to do the fix chatptg"
Also, when you do train them, teach them the bare minimum.
Funnily enough, this isn't going to be very hard. Even people who are moderately above average intelligence have difficulty understanding networks. Now consider the sub-average intelligence of the pajeet, and their pathological need to pass responsibility to someone else.

You can have a pajeet application engineer faced with a java stack trace from a program that stopped working. The stack trace, the module documentation, the comments in the code, and the first 3 pages of Google can all be clearly describing what exactly needs to be done to make the program work again, and the pajeet won't do it. He'll blame the system admins. He'll blame the network engineers. He'll pull engineers form unrelated teams at both his customers and his vendors onto a massive conference call with all the other pajeet-infested teams at his company to determine what his customer's network engineers need to do to his vendor's linuxes to fix the java error.

The pajeet is not only incapable of understanding, they are incapable of admitting they don't understand. They bang on technologies like retarded monkeys with rocks, turning what was once lovingly crafted back into dust.

The pajeet is an agent of Entropy.

I think I am beginning to understand why @CaliforniaRaisin is upset about this.
 
That's what I'm talking about people. We figure this out and it will be a major unironic milestone for humanity.
I unironically believe we figured this out repeatedly already. It's just that every single time it happens, the scientists involve take one look at the findings, one look at the blue haired landwhale sheboon in charge of their funding and the pink haired dyke with a nose ring in charge of the school's DEI department and say "Nope, not destroying our entire careers over this" and bury it.
My network is purpose built for the organization. It does exactly what it needs to do, in the simplest and "least points of failure" way possible. It's fast, easily maintained and reliable. My biggest downtime is directly related to our one and only ISP available to us constantly shitting the bed and doing nothing. I caught wind of what the Jeets have, and they are going to fucking absolutely hate it. ... and I can't wait.
Simple? Least points of failure? SAAR, my nephew and cousins can add many points, very good points, world class A+ top seller Plpoints, that we will all take payments for yes very good SAAR.
Black panther was unironically one of the most racist movies ever made.
Time to celebrate the proper introduction of a real King with a capital K.
My favorite part was when the large group of thuggish sub 80 IQ black men surrounded the white guy and started ooking at him. You could tell that was supposed to be the evil rival black guys because
1. They refused to obey DA KWWEENZ
2. They were masculine
3. They acted like black men instead of GQ models.

But don't worry in the end The I Can't Believe It's Not Ghetto Thugs got in line, obeyed their Kweenz and their meterosexual caste leader, and saved the day. Yay!

Praying for my Turkmen niggas rn 🙏 🙏 🙏
 
On the Iran subject: does anyone get a worrying sense of deja-vu?

We're getting told that we have absolutely unimpeachable intelligence that Iran has a nuclear weapon, that it'll be ready to go in 2 weeks rom whatever the current date is, and they'll absolutely nuke DC and NYC.

My parents are boomers and watch a lot of FOX, and while I was there I overheard some "military expert" on the TV saying that the majority of Iranians hate their government and they'd absolutely support us if we were to invade.

This is reminding me an awful lot of Iraq, where similar things were said but a. there were no WMDs and b. the Iraqis didn't help us.

I wish Iran had a nuke. Then we could focus on other stuff.

I think it's safe to assume that the same international military industrial complex think tanks that led to Desert Storm 2: Electric Boogaloo are probably going to try it again. unfortunately the domestic american political landscape specifically went out of its way to push back against that stuff, which is why trump got elected again. I have a very strong feeling that the people trying to drum up jingoistic sentiment still look at the chessboard as if television plays an important role in propaganda and counter-intelligence, either because they're targeting old people or because they legitimately don't understand the theater of operations has changed. they're playing the game like it's 2008

if a terrorist attack happens that drums up public support for an invasion the average uneducated moron is probably going to think we or israel did it on purpose because this is the third or fourth time something like that has happened

No one is saying that Iran has a weapon, it's being pointed out that Iran is obviously enriching for a weapon. Iran isn't secret about it either, the Ayatollah is openly talking about how he wants a nuke.

The majority of Iranians do hate their government. It's a repressive government that pushes Islam on a population that isn't interested in it and spend their money on sponsoring foreign terrorist groups. No one is advocating for an invasion though

I've been told that Iran is two to six months away from a nuclear weapon ever since I really decided to be aware of politics which would have been nearly 30 years ago. Let them have their fucking nuke, I don't care at this point.

My Boomer dad stopped watching Fox News after people like Tucker became obsessed with trannies.

The same people telling us that today also had us convinced about Saddam's WMDs not too long ago so I'm going to need a better source this time.
