That's where it gets tricky, because in Taiwan they produce most of the RAM that goes into the electronics assembled elsewhere. We need that RAM. We need all the RAM.

Is it a scar or is it a scrape, dearie. You'd have to purposefully tear through your flesh to get scar levels of damage from a shaving blade.

It is then good that Taiwan doesn't have the sheer bulk to afford a few selective boycotts, innit

Yes. Put that RAM in our devices. Stick it in deep.

I guess it's a scrape...so much blood, though. Thankfully it stopped bleeding after a good 5 minutes. Still stings...

Geopolitics is weird, basically. :V

On the one hand, don't recognise the sovereignty of the nation but on the other hand, trade with them economically (Some, cynically, might say that that's in the hopes of forcing Taiwan into a political union once the economic one prompts them to)

I don't think I have any Vaseline. Oh well, I'll go walk it off when I walk to school.

Also, Military History thinks that the only people that watch their stuff are elderly people. Almost all of their commercials are meds for the elderly, or knee braces for the elderly...

Not even close, my child. I would sooner celebrate the return of the Ancient Ones once the veil has been pierced and the Gods before the Gods retake what is theirs.

Not the only, but the majority. They survey this stuff, they know their business.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Jesus, can one of these ancient ones have a more pronouncable name like "joe" or fred, la shubniggurath, certainly is a mouthful.

Their names come forth from languages birthed on strange worlds, many aeons ago, when our ancestors had not even reached the evolutionary level of forest creatures screeching in tree tops yet.
