Today I want to make a short narrative of my experiments and trials with the different variations of Cialis ED medicine in China. So, one day I went to my local neighborhood pharmacy and spent a lot of time looking of the huge selection of ED medication. My interest was (of course) Cialis.
It’s a given that I initially reached for the Cialis, but then I paused. Instead of taking the ten-pack, I opted for a smaller four-pack and then selected a couple of Chinese Cialis versions. All 20mg.
As you can see, the prices for the Chinese versions of Cialis are substantially cheaper.

And let me tell you all… they are absolutely identical. Same effect. the only difference is that the Chinese versions are really affordable.
Here’s some pictures.



Good stuff. And maybe you all learned something, eh?

I am also interested in this case.
The Elisa Lam Case Was Finally Solved In 2025… And It’s Worse Than We Thought In 2013, the mysterious demise of Elisa Lam at the Cecil Hotel shocked the world.
Her bizarre behavior in the elevator and the chilling discovery of her body in a water tank sparked endless theories, ranging from mental health struggles to supernatural forces. For years, no one truly knew what happened.
But now, in 2025, shocking new evidence has finally come to light. It seems the case has been solved, and the truth is now in the open for the world to see. What could this truth be?
Join us in this video as we uncover what really happened to Elisa Lam and why the truth behind her demise was kept hidden for so long.

What makes China such a strong partner for international trade with more than 170 countries, despite any existing misconceptions?
People like stuff.
People like paying LESS for stuff.
Taobao is absolutely lethal for retail
I live in Hong Kong, I can order stuff off Taobao (it takes 4–5 days) for 10% or LESS than the retail cost in Hong Kong. Remember Hong Kong is part of China, we are just down the road and you can find stuff cheaper.
Imagine when the markups are even bigger.
Did you ever intentionally leave a bug while writing a software code?
Anonymous because the bug still exists, and their system is still vulnerable.
I worked with a company on their new distribution system. I won’t tell you what they distributed, because they’re among the biggest players in their field.
Here’s the crucial security bug they had: They stored a git token in the repository.
Now, this may not seem like a big deal, but this token had full pull rights and push rights too. As a result, even employees who’ve left the organisation or were fired, could still use the token for full access to all their code repositories.
Why didn’t we fix it? We tried. We tried telling management that this is a critical security issue, but they were too focused on the features instead. So now, all one needs is that token to be able to completely wipe out their code repositories irreversibly. But well, that feature needs to go out first, right? Right?
General Electric Closes U.S. Factories and Lays Off Workforce in Wake of Tariff Fallout
If I tell my friends I like Chinese food, am I supporting the Chinese Communist Party?
The Panda Express you get and the General Tso’s chicken are not authentic Chinese food. This is the kind of ‘Chinese food’ that no Chinese will eat.
The one foreigner I’ve met who is obsessed with Chinese food is Amy from Australia, who has travelled all over China trying different flavours of Chinese food, even more than Chinese people like me.
As she traveled through Chinese cities, walked on the clean streets, met all kinds of friendly and polite Chinese people, and saw that China was becoming more and more prosperous and its people were becoming happier and wealthier, it was hard for her not to support the Communist Party of China (CPC).
I must win
Written in response to: “Start or end your story with someone standing in the rain.“
Ethan Biggs
“Hey!” An angry thudding on the double door starts my internal countdown, quicker than I expected, this will be tight.
“Come out of there!” I consider how he’s here already as the diagnostic comes to its conclusion.
“All hardware ready”
Good. I look at the “Run Simulation” button, but there’s no time and I already know it doesn’t work. That’s why I’m here. Time to figure out why. Opening up the calculations, I skim over my brainchild for the last 15 years, trying to find the error that has illuded me for weeks.
A crash grabs part of my attention. Not yet! I’m not ready! I look over and see an intimidatingly large man stumble through the broken doors. The gun and badge on his side indicating his role as campus security.
“Edward?”
I return my focus to the calculations. Searching
“Edward, you need to move away. You can’t be here anymore.”
My calculations seem perfect. I can’t find the error. Where is it?? I must find it! I’m wrenched away from my child. Crying out for the pain that never will be.
“Edward, stop. It’s over.”
I scramble to get back to my machine. “Let me go! I’m so close! I’m almost there!”
“Edward, stop fighting. You’re just making things worse”
I must make it work. I must!
Running the calculations through my mind again and again. Trying to find the solution that is just out of reach. Firing in circles, the equations fly through the air as I try to find the fault within them. Where is it?
Suddenly, my periphery is aware of something. A tapping on the ground. Tap, tap, tap. I know that sound. It’s the sound of greed. I hate that sound.
“Mr Rickson, sir!” The security guard addresses the worthless sack of meat.
I look up and meet with his scheming eyes. Eyes that know they’ve won. They’ve finally taken me down. A smug expression tugs at his cheeks, further affirming a single goal which has just been fulfilled. The goal to rid me of everything I am.
“Edward”
The word splits the air. Even the security guard cowers. But not me. I will kill this bastard if that’s what it takes.
“I assume you’ve called the police Jordie?”
“Yes Mr Rickson”
“Good, make sure they know this dense fool has gone and done the one thing I told him not to. Even after I was really nice to him about it.”
He claims with a victorious tone.
“Nice?! You cancelled my program! Stole my work! You took everything from me! You’re closing me down just because you wanted more money for yourself! You selfish-”
Wait- Dense… Density! Yes that’s it! The equations snap into place as the image becomes clear. I have the answer! I just need a minute.
“I have it!” I scream. I must make him hear me. Just once!
“No you don’t. And you never will. Take him outside.”
My arms are wrenched forwards and my body violently refuses to follow. I try my hardest but the security guard is far stronger than I am. Of course he doesn’t believe me. Even if he did, he wouldn’t want me to succeed. I’ve got to do this on my own.
“Come on Edward, don’t make this any worse than it is.” The security guard tries to calm me. I will not be calmed. In my mad thrashing I flounder for options. Equipment is too far away, I can’t grasp the door on my way through, the hallway is empty, I appear to be out of options. Then I brush something. Something that gives me a glimmer of hope. I pause for a moment and look at the security guard, he looks at me and a flicker of realization hits him.
He moves to stop me but I’m quicker. My hand moves to his hip and I draw his sidearm. He catches my arm and the struggle ensues.
“Gun!”
I wrestle for the gun but the immense strength of the man is overpowering me frighteningly quickly, fortunately, I am fighting for my life. I throw my knee into his groin and follow up with a flurry of elbows and punches with a staggering level of ferocity. He takes it well at first but gradually stumbles back and weakens, just for a moment. But in that moment, I have the upper hand. And I take that advantage.
BANG!
His eyes widen. White turns red. The floor becomes slippery.
BANG!
His eyes are gone, his head hits the floor. I’m free!
“What have you done?” I turn to face Mr Rickson. He moves towards me with a presence that is intimidating. And maybe scared?
“Put that down before you hurt someone else!”
I point
BANG!
Thud
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Click.
The ringing in my ears accompanies the quiet hallway. I’m Free! Free to finish my work. Standing up, I thunder down the hall as fast as I can. Through the broken double doors and towards my machine. I input the new solutions into the computer and Run the Simulation.
10%, 20%, 30%
The wailing of sirens pierces the night.
40%, 50%, 60%
I am tense, will it work? Will I finally be right?
70%, 80%, 90%…
100%
Success
I inhale sharply. It works. I stand in disbelief. It works. What now?
Turn it on! Turn it on! Of course. That’s what now! I chide myself for being so stupid and run over to the roller door. As I haul on the chain to open the door, the sirens becomes clearer and louder. Not here yet, but soon.
I had wheels attached to the machine which allows me to move it out into the clear night sky. I lock the wheels and hover my finger over the “Activate” button.
This is it, the moment I dreamed of. The moment it was all for. Time to turn it on.
I compress my finger into the button and stand up. Looking up as the machine starts to whir. Internal components spinning and clicking before finally firing a small stream of solution into the sky. Normally, the solution would be captive to the laws of gravity, but on this one occasion, gravity forfeits its control for just a moment. And in that moment, glory ensues.
The sky darkens even more now. Ominously foretelling of the danger to come. The wailing of the sirens and flashing of the lights begins to compete with the flashing of lightning and roar of thunder. Let them enjoy the show.
Water droplets begin to fall on my face, cementing my victory. I close my eyes and take it in as the sprinkle turns into a roaring downpour.
It works.
What are the main reasons Europe would hesitate to buy American products despite manufacturing efforts in the US?
Low quality for the price. And the US makes a lot of things Europeans don’t want -big cars, gaudy furniture, and food with chemicals made using methods that are banned here. As far as electronics and electric cars go – China and Asia make far superior products for far less cost. And finally, because Europe makes it own stuff.

Why do experienced Marines advise against flying home right after boot camp, and what are the benefits of heading straight to the next duty station?
Here’s why: All of the fuck ups that you joined boot camp to better yourself and get away from are right there waiting to drag you down with them with a vengeance when you go home on “boot leave”. Waving booze and weed in your face, taking you on drunken 100 mph death rides, all of it. Then there’s the subject of women and money. You just left 3 months of boot camp and now you have a little bank roll. Your friends know it, and so do all of the girls you couldn’t get before boot camp who are now throwing themselves at you. Drinks are on YOU, and so is dinner, movies and your “welcome home, hero!” party. Soon you are broke and heading off to your first duty station with a hangover, a traffic ticket, a brand new engagement ring, a new car payment and 4 dollars and 83 cents left to your name wondering what just happened over the past 2 weeks and how you are going to pay for it all over the next 3 years and 9 months.
Go home, hug your family and GTFO there in 3 days maximum before you get wrapped up in what you were trying to avoid in the first place.
good luck

Title: Sir Whiskerton and the Great Robo-Bee Rebellion
Ah, dear reader, steel yourself for a tale of technological terror, misguided genius, and the most catastrophic case of “helping” since the farmer tried to shear a sheep with a butter knife. Today’s adventure stars Chef Remy LeRaccoon, whose latest invention—a laser-equipped Robo-Bee—turns the farm into a warzone, and Beekeeper Beatrice, whose valiant defense involves a butterfly net, questionable honey, and a chapter from Birdwatching for Dummies. So grab your beekeeper’s veil (or a sturdy colander) and join us for Beatrice vs. The Robo-Bee—where nature fights back against raccoon engineering.
Act 1: The Rise of the Machine
Chef Remy unveiled his masterpiece in the barnyard, stroking his invention like a mad scientist.
- Remy: “Behold! Ze future of pollination! No more lazy bees, no more ‘allergies’—just precision!”
- Robo-Bee: [Whirring ominously] “TARGET ACQUIRED: FLORAL PATTERNS AND WEAK NERVES.”
- Sir Whiskerton: “That’s not a bee. That’s a war crime with wings.”
The demonstration began well—until the Robo-Bee misidentified Porkchop’s slop as a “high-priority bloom.”
- Porkchop: “IT ZAPPED MY DINNER!” [Pause.] “…Huh. Tastes smokier. Five stars.”
Act 2: The Buzzing Menace
Chaos erupted as the Robo-Bee went rogue:
- It laser-stung Doris’s favorite hydrangea for “insufficient pollen output.”
- It chased Rufus in circles, mistaking his wagging tail for “a hostile sunflower.”
- It buzzed jazz standards at Jazzpurr, who declared it “the coolest thing since bongo solos.”
Beatrice, armed only with a butterfly net and a jar of “organic” honey (100% corn syrup), stepped up.
- Beatrice: “I read about this in Beekeeping for Dummies! …Wait, that was birdwatching.”
- Robo-Bee: “CORRECTION: YOU ARE NOT A BIRD. PREPARE FOR STINGING.”
Act 3: The Great Honey Trap
Beatrice’s plan was simple:
- Lure the Robo-Bee with the “honey.”
- Capture it mid-sugar-rush.
- Apologize to the real bees for the impersonator.
The execution? Less simple.
- The Robo-Bee drank the syrup and immediately glitched, spinning in circles like a drunk disco ball.
- Porkchop: “Can we keep it? It’s like a spicy roomba.”
- Remy: “Non! It just needs a software update—”
Sir Whiskerton unplugged it with one paw.
- Sir Whiskerton: “Nature doesn’t need an upgrade. Especially not from you.”
- The Real Bees: [Drowning the Robo-Bee in pollen] “Take that, techie.”
The Moral (and the Post-Credit Glitch)
Moral: If it ain’t broke, don’t let a raccoon fix it.
Post-Credit Scene:
The Robo-Bee reactivates in the scrap heap—now obsessed with Porkchop’s slop. “OPTIMAL POLLINATION TARGET DETECTED.”
Best Lines:
- “That’s not a bee. That’s a war crime with wings.” – Sir Whiskerton
- “Tastes smokier. Five stars.” – Porkchop, food critic
- “CORRECTION: YOU ARE NOT A BIRD.” – Robo-Bee, literalist
Starring:
- Chef Remy LeRaccoon (Mad Scientist)
- Beekeeper Beatrice (Improvised Hero)
- Robo-Bee (Pollinator of Doom)
Key Jokes:
- A robot judging flowers like a harsh talent scout.
- Porkchop’s slop becoming artisanal after laser charring.
- Beatrice’s birdwatching skills failing spectacularly.
Why This Story Works:
- Absurdity: A killer robot bee with a jazz playlist.
- Character Chaos: Remy’s hubris vs. Beatrice’s chaotic problem-solving.
- Series Cohesion: Porkchop’s eternal love of even ruined food.
Now, go forth—and may your gardens be robot-free. 🐝🤖⚡
Have you ever ordered a cake that made you say “You have got to be kidding me!” when you went to pick it up?
Yes, but in a good way.
For my son’s fourth birthday I ordered a cake shaped like a fire engine. I picked it from a catalogue they sent me, and it was a nice representation of a side-on view of a pump/ladder engine, very suitable for a little boy who liked fire engines.
When I arrived to collect it, the assistant said that she hoped I didn’t mind but their baker had tried out a new design, and if I didn’t want it, they’d make me up what I’d ordered for the next day instead. Then she brought out this beautiful 3-d fire engine, a bit bigger than the original choice, an absolute knockout. She even charged me a bit less, because I was kind enough not to insist on what I’d chosen!
My son and his friends were enchanted with it, and then one of the dads at the party revealed he was a firefighter, and after the party he took Peter to the fire station and he got to wear a helmet and “drive” a real engine.
It was an amazing day.
Why can’t Chinese people buy homes freely anywhere they want? What’s the Hu Kou system all about?
Very good question
Imagine a Residential community in China where land sells for 65,000 Yuan per Square Feet
Now imagine a few rich Shanghainese decide to come here and offer 200,000 Yuan per Square Feet
Within 3–4 years, the land rates would.surge through the roof and the area would become one for privileged people
The Middle Class living there would be forced to leave or watch their neighborhood prices rise and standard of living rice
The HuKou system prevents this
In Many Communities, outsiders who don’t live there CANNOT buy a home there just for investment
They have to establish their reasons to buy a home which can be :-
- Be nearer to Aged Parents
- Working in the Town or County or Province
Otherwise, only persons living in that community can invest or purchase properties under the HuKou system
This doesn’t apply everywhere
In Shanghai and a few cities, Outsiders (Mainlanders living in other provinces) can buy property freely without HuKou restrictions

Sarah’s case
Written in response to: “Start or end your story with someone standing in the rain.“
M.R. Simon
I drive while she gives directions to her parents’ house. One hand on the wheel and the other on my $10 cup of coffee. My window is cracked open which makes a whistling sound as I drive. I can feel the tension rising and we both stop talking. If I close up the window, the car will fog up with all this fucking rain. The ventilation is shit in this vintage Chrysler. The whistling gets louder the faster I drive. It has the effect of a countdown with the tension getting higher. And then she lifts her mini skirt a little to show me her see-through panties.
“I can pay you with my body if you want.” she tells me this while looking right at me.
I have trouble keeping my eyes on the road. I can tell it’s not her first time offering sex. It’s reality these days, jobs are rare, money is hard to get. A lot of young kids do this, guys and girls. But there’s no fucking way I’m gonna use a 18 year old girl as a fuck doll, I respect myself too much for that.
Her parents seem to be good people, not rich, but honest workers who never stole anything besides an internet connection. I have difficulty looking straight at her father. After all, I have just seen his daughter’s panties.
It takes 45 minutes of asking the right questions but I finally get the full picture.
The father is sick, and needs $250,000 for his operation. His daughter, Sarah, is insured for one million dollars. Maybe the parents are behind this mystery. Ever since Sarah is missing, her social account has gone sky high with likes and followers. Flowers are piling up in front of the parents house. The father tells me he doesn’t have the money to pay me, and looks at his younger daughter, and suggests she could help me. Yeah, I know what you mean daddy. The father is selling one daughter to find the other one.
Back in the car with Baby Sis, I make myself clear. She’s pissed and slams the door as she gets out with her panties in her hand. I go back home to stalk Sarah’s social account. There are loads of interesting comments, but one is more interesting than the others. A guy wrote that he thinks he knows where she went. Billythestud69, Billy Blanco, I go check him out.
It takes six knocks on Billy’s door, before he answers. He looks too ripped to cooperate, but he does. He tells me that he heard there is a place where girls can go to get fucked hard,and get paid big cash. Because her sister tried so hard to get my dick out of my pants, it wouldn’t surprise me if this was Sarah’s thing. Billy adds that the place moves from one building to another so they don’t get caught. He sure knows a lot for a kid. On the other hand, Sarah’s social media friends debunk Billy’s theory. They say she wouldn’t go anywhere without her mobile device.
All this research has made me hungry. So, I go to dinner. My favorite place to eat is Dine For a Dime, an old airstream trailer parked at the side of the road in a not-so-great neighborhood. It’s the perfect place for nightcrawlers, like me. The guys on the force all come here, even the retired ones.
I’m about to sit at a table and say hi to my favorite waitress when I see a young girl sitting alone at the bar. I have nothing to lose, so I go sit next to this good looking blond. I order what I usually order; the soup du jour with french toast and coffee. She’s like an open book. She doesn’t stop talking about herself, like all the kids of her generation. I don’t get a chance to introduce myself, before I’m ready to pass out from boredom. Then she starts talking about a secret members-only club she desperately wants to get in. She wants to boost her media shit with sex. But she doesn’t know what it’s called. Now I have to find that club.
I have to go see my tipster. I wonder if she knows about this club of people paying for sex. And maybe she has heard something about Sarah Shine. Her name is Natalia Nikityna. She speaks English with a broad accent and rolls her Rs. She’s a web podcaster and trend followers, not that I understand what she does exactly. But if there’s a new trend she’s the one who will know about it.
There is only one phone booth left in town and that is my outside office. This is where I make all of my phone calls. The places where Natalia wants to meet are always awkward and weird. When she answers her phone, she tells me to meet her in the beauty shop while she gets her hair dyed blond, like Sarah. She knows Sarah is missing, but has nothing on it. But she does know about the club, she wrote an article about them last month, she says. The group is called GFG GROUP INC, a real estate investment group.
The library is not the only place that has internet, but it’s the fastest. I know it’s a cliché but the librarian working there is very nice looking. It doesn’t take me long, as long as I keep my eyes on the screen, to find the GFG HQ address and all the houses they have for sale. It’s weird, the place is located downtown where nobody does business anymore. The last business moved from there a long time ago. It’s a bad place even for me.
Downtown is deserted, we all call this place “The Zone”. Tonight it’s just me and some stray dogs. There are no cars in front of the HQ building which looks abandoned. I think the real office is probably in a nicer part of the town. Through the front window, I can see a dim light. Someone is in one of the back offices. Time to find the back door.
Behind the building a luxury car is parked close to the wall, like someone wants to hide it from the street. He must have fucking big balls to leave a car like this to the mercy of anybody walking by. The back door is not quite shut, so I go in. The hall is empty, but I hear sounds coming from further up the hall. Just in case I take my Beretta out. I wear my gun at my hip like a cowboy. I always loved the western movies. The colt 45 is my favorite gun. I came close to owning one once. It’s the reason why I became a cop in the first place. Western were part of my childhood and I wanted to ride a horse and fire a gun at the same time.
As I walk further into the building, it sounds like someone is moaning, possibly through a gag. I also hear two or three men’s voices, Maybe four. I stop at the door, my gun in hand, safety off. Inside the room are three naked guys and a naked girl, who is tied to a table, with all three holes filled. That would explain the gagging sounds. When I tell the three wooden dicks to move away and face the wall the girl starts giving me shit about stopping her sex party. Apparently she was about to cum. I ask her name and no she’s not Sarah Shine, even if she has blond hair. So, I ask her about Sarah Shine. Without trying to cover herself up she tells me she saw a video of Sarah with Billy, billythestud69. Now I have to go back to Billy’s house. I leave the GFG group to their party, but I think the party’s over.
Back at Billy’s house, a mobile home in a trailer park, the lights are off, nobody seems to be home. It’s late in the evening, I assume they are sleeping. So, I decide to knock anyway. Billy comes to the door, he looks like I feel. I ask him to come in my car, so we can talk.
I tell him I know that he knows where Sarah is. So he spills it all. He fell for the oldest trick in the world. She’s in his parents cottage outside of town. The cottage is in the middle of a cornfield. The only place where you can be away from all those dumbass dickheads. It’s an hour drive from town.
The cornfield takes me back to my grandparents’ cottage. I spent all my childhood summers there. One summer my grandfather went out in the cornfield and blew his head off with his Colt. We never knew why he did it. I was in the field with him, he was holding my hand when he shot himself. I was too young to understand what happened to him, I just saw the blood everywhere. He had said the Colt was supposed to be mine once he passed away, but I never knew what happened to the gun after that.
It’s as dark as a monkey’s butt. So, I shine the headlights on the front of the house. Outside, it’s calm and quiet. Besides the endless rain hitting the roof, there is no sound. Billy unlocks the door. When he opens the door I can see a blond girl sitting at the kitchen table in complete darkness. Though the headlights shine all the way to the kitchen, I can’t see her face, only the light reflecting off her blond hair. When she hears us walking in she turns her head and I see the freckles on her face. It’s her. I finally found Sarah Shine.
She wanted to vanish to increase the number of fans and followers of her story. And more likes would mean more money, in a week of publicity she went from 150,000 followers to 1.1 million followers, she will eventually have the money to save her dad. But even in our shitty world it’s illegal to fake a disappearance or a kidnapping. I have to report her, she might do time, or not, I don’t care. I’m not here to judge, my job is done.
Behind the rain clouds the sun is up, the night’s over. Going home, tired and wet.
Ten-four, I’m out.
When in your life did you feel like you had to leave the room before you did something you regret out of anger?
I belonged to a clubhouse in Pinellas County that accommodated people with mental illnesses from 2011–2922. It did not matter what type of mental illness you had, you were welcome there and everyone helped each other in three different areas of the clubhouse. There was “Communications” where we made a newsletter, there was “Career” where we looked for jobs and helped others find jobs and there was “Culinary” where we learned how to cook and clean and all that happy stuff. I really, really enjoyed it and I became super involved with the clubhouse. I created websites, did outreaches, and speeches at police stations. I really was a huge asset there and everybody let me know I was, too. Then this woman named Charlotte arrived and she decided she was going to overhaul everything and treat everyone like garbage from other staff to the members. I am a very high-functioning person and my diagnoses are mostly PTSD and depression but there were some people there that were very low functioning and almost borderline retarded (I’m sorry, I don’t know what other word to use). She would gang up with two other staff members and make these low functioning people always clean the bathrooms and would not help them with the computers. I would complain and then she would yell at me. I would try to help people and she would yell at me. Every time I would go there and I would see her stupid, fat face and I would want to turn around and leave but, it was a long drive to my house so I would stay and endure. One day a young woman was having severe menstrual cramps and I am a lot older than her and I know a lot about this type of thing so I was trying to give her advice about what to do and I offered her some pamprin. Charlotte yelled at me and said “Lisa, are you going to stay in this room or what?” And the young woman I was talking to you told her to stop yelling at me and quit picking on people and then Charlotte slammed something on the table. I walked out of the room and walked into another room and I screamed “Charlotte is a fucking bitch and I’m never coming back!” What I really wanted to do was pick up Charlotte and put her head first into the boiling pasta water. That was in 2022 and I never went back. I hate that woman, she ruined everything.

Why are foreign companies reluctant to invest in Indonesia?
This is our company truck. This truck transports oil palm fruit (FFB) to the palm oil mill (PKS). We have 6 trucks like the one in this picture that go back and forth every day delivering fruit to be processed in the factory.
This is the route of the trucks, the distance is 51 kilometers. So every day they will send fruit 2 times. If calculated, then they will walk back and forth 4 times.
(Image: Fruit processing factory destination, personal doc)
Now I’ll give you a picture of the truck stops. I’ll draw them with red dots, something like this:
At these red points, the truck drivers do not stop to eat or drink coffee, but rather to collect extortion from local residents and mass organizations.
(Illustration image, source google images)
It seems trivial, only Rp. 2000, but let’s multiply it roughly:
6 trucks x 4 trips = 24 trips / day
extortion collection points = 7
collection points of Rp. 2,000,-
then: 24 x 7 x 2,000 = Rp. 336,000 /day
if calculated for 1 year (365 days) minus 20 days of holidays, then
Rp.336,000,- x 345 days = Rp. 115,920,000,-
The money can buy a type 36 house 😁
Just our company, what about other companies? That’s just from the extortion side on the streets, and the distance traveled is 51 kilometers. What about those with longer distances, for example trans-sumatra or trans-java? There are still many more small things that need to be fixed by the system in our beloved +62 country.
Have you given a homeless person a chance and hired him? How’d it go?
I sold my motorhome to my best friend. Just a couple months later he was driving on the interstate highway when the front end started shaking. He pulled off the road and saw that the right front wheel was crooked. He walked the 1/4 mile to the exit and truck stop. An older homeless guy went up to him and said he saw that my friend was broke down. He wanted to know what the problem was and if he could help.
My friend said he didn’t know yet, but you can come with me and maybe we can figure it out. My friend had ALL his tools. They jacked up the front axle and the entire wheel fell away. It seems that the stub axle broke off. Applying the brakes (drum brakes) held the entire wheel assembly attached while stopping the truck….
My friend was frustrated because he had to be somewhere the next morning. The old guy said, you find the parts, I’ll fix it. They spent the next few hours locating and acquiring the parts (junk yard). My friend was towing his car so he had wheels to go pick up the parts and then head on to his next commitment.
Three days later, he returned, the truck was fixed and the old man was still there. He was staying in the motorhome during the time my friend was away.
My friend owned a business and offered the guy a job. He worked for my friend for 8 years until he was able to collect social security.
Why does charcoal cooked meat taste so good?
Yea man, no lie. Charcoal burns hot, real hot. Five hundred degrees — Maybe seven hundred. The meat hits that heat and magic happens.
Burning charcoal breaks down lignin to produce two compounds called guaiacol and syringol. They make smoke. That smoke tastes like bacon. Your tongue knows. Amino acids and reducing sugars react–Scientists call it the Maillard reaction – I call it that perfect crust.
Fat drips. Hits the coals. Vaporizes. Melting fats will drip onto the heat source and produce smoke – The smoke rises back up. Coats the meal, every drop of juice becomes flavor.
Gas can’t do this. Wood can. But charcoal does it best — The chemistry doesn’t lie. Your mouth knows the difference — That’s why we keep coming back. Fire and meat. Simple as that.
