I remember reading about this monkeys bananas relationship in some 19th century fiction, I don't think they were cheap back then so it's probably genuine
How the hell are bananas so cheap ay my local grocery store despite being grown thousands of miles away? They are cheaper by weight than apples or even potatoes which were grown just a few hours drive away

A few months ago when hispa refugees flooded KC, there was even a Bolivian (apparently they are very rare on IBs) and he was quite nice. I enjoyed talking to him. I wonder where he went...

I can't wait to move out in a year and leave the sonbasket behind me. I'm so excited to finally take my life into my own hands. I'm already imagining all the things I could do. The biggest thing for me is leaving Germany, I'm unsure, whether it's a good plan. It shoul be well prepared as it would be a life-changing step. Maybe I will even find a girl in the future, who knows? Probably not, who am I kidding. ;_; It's good to have a future and plans, Bernd. That shit keeps you alive.

It is almost 50% cheaper to buy a new hair clipper on amazon that was manfactured in Indonesia ($11) than it is to just replace my lost charging cable on my US manufactured
clippers ($20)
Then of course as I am browsing i see some overpriced german made "precision" clippers with a cool sleek shiny design for $300

Who was in the right here, /int/?
I honestly think that Eddie was doing the best he could. Sure, Lao is correct when it comes to neglect of what the Belgians left to the Congolese, but when it comes to Eddie's sloppy job it was about the absence of work ethic in Congo in general rather than his personal fault.

> Could you provide any examples of situations where the Chinese missed to take notes
I think this goes to any sort of interactions they had with the locals. They didn't come up with a way to motivate these people to work and not abandon their job, and they cheaped out on every basic comfort they could realistically provide (from food to accommodation) to keep people interested in doing their job properly.
> What I also failed to mention in my previous post: the radio host was definitely my favorite character.
Indeed, as it brings up the most interesting topic: the Congolese don't care, they know they are lazy and "useless" in Western terms, but they enjoy their careless lifestyle and this is one of the things that the Chinese will never be able to understand, they cannot grasp the kind of mindset where being successful is not a sort of a "religious goal", and neither can the Chinese understand a mindset where it isn't.
"American Factory" for sure. It's the same story more or less: a comparison of work ethics of two different civilizations (the Chinese are involved, again) that have to work together, only to find out they're barely compatible. Except for both parties are actually competent this time.
I was definitely on the American side although it's obvious that the old proletariat is doomed. And by who? By those who claim to be "communist". Very dramatic movie.

Today I made a strange currylike meal. Firstly i puréed an onion. Would have puréed two but one was rotten at its core, isn’t it always disappointing when such cases transpire? I had no garlick but would very much have appreciated some, not even salt or powder garlick had I and it is surely a best loved thing. I had instead used a half teaspoon of basil and of oregano, one equal to the other for these too are best loved.
After that I fried in the purée 250g of chicken strips, sliced alredy from the packaging, these i fries until the pale redness of the fowl was gone into a pleasant white complexion, et sachiez que this complexion is preferable in all things. I added then a teaspoon of paprika and half of chilli powder, finished a bag of cumin amounting to not more than one and a half teaspoons and then indeed I put upon it indeterminate coriander and a pinch of turmeric et sachiez que the turmeric destroys all things in excess for its love is cruel in nature. No salt did I use and only a touch of black pepper in the same quantity as of turmeric.
Et sachiez que I added these and with them tomato purée such as is got from a tube. Et sachiez que the meal was bare and caught and so quickly did I cook some red lentils that are orange in fact, but perceiving the heat of the pan and gross reduction of liquids therein did I add some quantity of milk amounting to no less than a half of whatever foolish dwarf cups used by Americans to measure things culinary, and no man knows truly the quantity. Likewise truly did the milk do heavenly work upon the earth and truly did the chicken cook well and peacefully until the lentils were good. So too did they join the pan and et sachiez que the meal was filling and it was bland for want or the salt I had forgot.
Such was the meal I cooked, partly curry and partly dhal, though principally based as always upon Nigella’s meatball sauce.
Moral: forget not the salt, et sachiez que milk is never amiss in the cooking of meat and of sauce for it is sure to make well and thick and tender.
In a few days I'll be the proud owner of a Steelcase Leap. This is my first proper office chair in my life. I've been sitting in plastic garden chairs so far. Hopefully I will be satisfied and don't have to send it back to get a Herman Miller instead.
