better yet how about they take enough for donation and decanter a portion out an do blood testing both to make sure the blood is clean but alsoso the individual is aware of they are free of X
This is already how they do it here (India). They’ll test all donations for a number of infections, and you can give them your mobile number / e-mail / postal address to inform you if they find something.
I think it was Charlie Chaplin who said that the best jokes make you first laugh and then cry.
It could be a different stratum of society. Maybe like politicians and businessmen. They say ~5% of Indians have iPhones, but I only know two people with iPhones (and one was second-hand).
I don’t think SMIC refuses to sell to non-Chinese companies. Nokia mostly uses Unisoc chips, which are made in China (not sure if by SMIC).
But if they did, it would be a pretty serious problem, since I don’t think SMIC even has a viable competitor in the entry-level smartphone chip market.
They have microSD, audio jack, okay chip (Snapdragon 4 Gen 2) and RAM (4-8 GB), replaceable batteries and screens, and HMD has pledged spare parts for seven years. That’s a good start, but it’s a bit overpriced for its specs and currently only available in Europe, so it probably won’t sell very well.
Apple is leading in a lot of countries despite Android being the dominant OS, because the Android userbase is divided among different manufacturers. See China, for example.
Govt jobs in India have 30-40 days, which is 6-8 weeks. But the private sector will riot if you try mandating anything close to that.
The second image in the lead is showing the list of countries who recognised Palestine after the episode in question. Based on the title, you need the list of countries who recognised before.
And yes, we recognised them in 1988.
Fixed. Thanks!
LibreOffice + me trying to fix things and making it worse + svg to png conversion
You overestimate my artistic abilities. I took the default colour palette LibreOffice gave, and replaced a few with ones that clash less.
I asked how much corn or sorghum they eat. None,the children don’t like either.
Isn’t niacin found in meat and fish? What do corn and sorghum have to do with it?
being pushed into unsafe diet and exercise plans, often with very high pressure coming from parents and coaches
That’s true of any sport? I agree that sports should be more fun and less competitive, at least for children, but why single out gymnastics? At least there’s no contact like in wrestling or even football.
I mean, the biggest (or rather, only) reason I still use WhatsApp is that it works with (other people’s) WhatsApp.
Oh right, some of their assets were frozen, due to non-payment of tax. I thought you meant freezing all assets and kicking them out of the country, like what happened to Huawei.
To some extent, these might be routine tax evasion investigations. But there is definitely a pattern of certain Indian companies getting favourable treatment over foreign competitors. Whether this is a deliberate move, or just politicians shaking up businesses for hush money, I do not know.
It could just be small sample size giving a wrong result. These are based on website hits, not official sales figures.
Grey is ‘I couldn’t be arsed to look up this country; it’s tiny so I hope no one notices’.
Apple has ‘won’ a lot of countries with just 20-30% marketshare, because the Android market is so fragmented. Look at China, for example.
That already exists. It’s called arXiv, and is used by mathematicians, physicists and computer scientists. Everyone else has to pay up.
