  1. He's dutch so English was never his first language to begin with

  2. You seen the war equipment they've got? It's no better. I remember a earthquake they had in china maybe 12 years ago. All the government buildings including the school collapsed. Everyone's houses were individually built and ALMOST EVERY one survived while every government building was collapsed.

  3. I RECOGNISE THESE. I worked at a warehouse that stored these slabs. They're DOG FOOD base ingredients, mainly cow guts.

  4. I was going to say it's probably only a matter of time before they started a neighbourhood in some African country and tried to impose apartheid.

  5. It's actually VERY high weight. Not coz of the plants, but the water content of the soil they're in. So an IBC for fluid transport is ONE TON. And each balcony will be a few hundred kilograms extra with plants and soil like shown in the CGI. MEANWHILE the tofu dreg can't handle REGULAR useage.

  6. Point is, during the one child policy a HUGELY disproportionate percentage of girl fetuses were aborted. Which probably has a lot to do with the current ratio of men to women.

  7. The Dutch guy looks LIKE A ZOMBIE that's going to be in full zombie mode as soon as it gets dark. 🧟‍♂️

  8. Here in Australia they call us stupid koalas like we're backwards because we don't have as many cash transfer apps and facial recognition everywhere. While their buildings are collapsing a couple of years FROM NEW and we have ones 170 years old STILL STANDING. I should know because MY HOUSE is 170 years old. Not in great shape but has survived multiple earth tremors with only the steel chimney creaking during them (I was inside twice and outside once).

  9. He's likely 50 times richer than everyone else on the bus who are looking down at him like he's a gorilla.

  10. I HIGHLY expected that. Why pay for bike use when nobody cares about the piles everywhere and you can just take one into your apartment or out back and cut all the wires and boxes off? You keep that one for yourself, maybe with a bike lock or inside your work or apartment, maybe repaint it with a rattle can to stop any odd questions, and if you get a flat tire or something breaks on it, go do it to another one.

  11. If you've seen CLAY REFINEMENT it's a ridiculously long process. But I'm surprised they didn't go like Britain did after the war and the bricks from the 1800s to build chimneys around my house. Just scooped the clay straight out of the ground and made into bricks. The bricks from my old chimneys are full of gravel and sand and very pourous like terracotta and quite light, but they're better than fake bricks. Crack easily but that's 200 years out in the rain that's probably part of it.

  12. Does the "with chinese characteristics" part mean if you vote wrong you get the re-education camp?

  13. The brainwashed ones

  14. My co-workers dad was a salesman for plastic film in china to farmers, hothouses and the like. He spent A LOT of time in china. Although they weren't that close, he took her to china and to a "Mongolian hooker bar". She hasn't had barely anything to do with asians but said the girls there LOOKED about 12 (likely 16) and there you would buy the girl a drink to initiate a conversation about her rates and such. Then after that one drink, maybe only 5 minutes, they'd leave with guys in the 40s to 70s. She was the only non Asian female in the place, her father wanted to show her the unseen side of china.

  15. The Africans stop attacking him coz he's chinese. In Swahili they probably said "Oh this is one of these broke chinese can opener factory guys. We're wasting our time because he's poorer than us.".

  16. Trust me it's FAR better with glass that SHATTERS. I went to school with Yugoslav kids straight outta the civil war. My best friend had his dad teach him to make molotovs AGE 12. There's a certain strength you have to put in the rag to stop the flame going inside til it breaks and throw it hard enough to shatter.

  18. Imagine making truckloads of business and money from someone and then THAT is the response in a dispute. I have dealt with chinese over the years, mt uncle had A LOT of involvement with them. They're alright people until MONEY is involved. Then they become psychos and can turn on you like a pet crocodile. This idiot chinese boss chased off some Asian contractors and asks his manager who else we could hire to do it. They were THE ONLY ONES who done it so he had to bring in people from another city.

  19. As someone who was IN the restaurant equipment industry, they're GAS not charcoal grills. Slots along the bottom suggest that. They ALSO commercial grade, they give away being they're mainly stainless steel.

  20. In Australia where we have people who are refugees from MAMY conflicts.... damn it, during the Yugoslav civil war, big gangs of the opposing sides would roam the streets and when they cone together you had to lock your doors. Because they'd be trying to strangle each other with the hose on your front lawn if it went down in your street. Even seen jews and Palestinians on either sides of a road throwing rocks across the road. Pity help anyone driving down the road. The locals try to help everyone get along and we usually do but there's ALWAYS tensions bought from another part of the world that STILL remain in their minds

  21. It's beyond me how you can spend YEARS in a country and not learn the language. I'm in an English speaking country (Australia) but know 3 languages ANYWAY. I see beer and other stuff in Spanish and don't translate it as much as let my mind absorb it and recognise a few words and then my mind just springs the entire English translation on me a few seconds later. It's weird but that's how my brain works with simple Spanish.

  22. In Russia they have military schools and they're all stripping AKs at like 13 or 14. Girls and all. During the soviet days all the 12 year old boys were trained to use AK47s

  24.  @danner253  cubans that got to the US did. But with no real borders or border control, you're no longer a country

  25. There's a LOT of assumptions he adds in. Like a typical American. Those were commercial GAS griddles, I know because I used to be in the restaurant equipment industry and lots come from china. Mainly stainless steel, slots near the bottom. Guaranteed commercial grade and gas powered.

  26. You missed something else about the Pakistani one. There's a HUGE pipe that goes through a mountain to turbines on the other side. Maybe 1.2km long. THAT PIPE has chunks of concrete dislodging and a HUGE chance of destroying the turbines so they turned that pipe off to save the turbine.

  27. My father knew a guy with schizophrenia. His mother had died so he went into some kind of boarding house near the sea and would talk to the fishermen by radio because he was a bit of an electronics buff. His sister was strange as hell and selfish and never had a good thing to say about him. My dad who was only a friend was given the ashes by the funeral home because he was the only one who attended with my mum. He spread the ashes down by the beach near the boarding house.

  28. Communism...

  29. They're STILL censoring it EVEN WORSE by not lying but just pretending it never even happened. Like COMPLETELY omitting it from history. And sometimes even pretending THEY were the victims. Unlike Germany who is still apologising.

  30.  @MikeBaxterABC  no no, it's NOT because these will smelt well. If we're getting money for scrapmetal sent to china here in Australia, these have got to be worth SOMETHING. it is a lot more efficient to process scrapmetal than iron ore. I know quite a bit about mining and EVERYTHING about it is expensive

  31. That's what I was thinking. Reliable machine that just keeps running. They're made for a few miles at a time, not that distance.

  32. I saw someone call his cat Chairman Mao in America. Always sitting on his chair and miaowing

  33. Aboriginals here in Australia so a smoking ceremony. Deliberately putting on green leaves into a low burning fire to get everything smoky and walking over the fire and wafting smoke around day old babies. Done at funerals and after births. It actually helps fumigate things so it's not a totally stupid idea

  34. I have read from some westerner who lived there that in china you can let your inner racism fly. You can be completely open about it but don't say A WORD of criticism against the government.

  35. The REASON they're calling them tofu dreg buildings is because a GOVERNMENT MINISTER started calling them that originally when they first became common.

  38. People wouldn't understand why his father received ONE biscuit when they're sold in trays or bags there. And here in Australia.

  39. I PERSONALLY have experience being kicked out of VIETNAMESE STORES in Australia. SO HAS my mother. Either kick you out or take everything out of your hands and kick you out. But it's mainly boomers or older Vietnamese. BUT it's ALREADY HAPPENING in AUSTRALIA for years now. One place the guy follows you around to make sure you aren't stealing. I often go in anyway because they have unique propane and butane stoves and wok cookers.

  40. In the soviet union, no dividers WAS NORMAL. There's A HANDFUL of "double banger" toilets from the early 1900s in existence in the west. Often hole in the ground types. I saw a photo of one still standing in the late 70s here in Australia. So rare that it was a newspaper article

  41. But CHINA ITSELF spent a lot of time fighting the imperial Japanese. They had Manchuria there for quite a while for making steel for their war effort.

  42. Every time you buy a power tool and the electrical ratings tag is a sticker that isn't on properly or thr brand logo is a sticker that isn't on properly, you already know the quality of the product. I have gone thru 12 chainsaws and the only 2 still going are a makita and a stihl. My 13th chinese made 4 stroke, very rare based on a scooter engine is still going but I've used it for less than 3 hours.

  43. I get the occasional hand lick by my cat. Best one is the "toes sticking out of bed" lick. That'll wake you up

  44.  @joshuasim8019  knowing a bit of Spanish then seeing tagalog shows the huge Spanish influence on the Philippines. A Filipino told me they were a colony of Spain for 800 YEARS.

  45. Should've told her it's actually 80% semi desert or desert. Bet that would surprise her.

  46. I THINK I would like to import these, cut the GPS off, and sell them in the west. Bikes are over $100 here in Australia

  48. There's a VERY easy method to get fuel out of cars. There's a thing that's LIKE a car tyre valve that's used to bleed fuel under the hood where it goes to the injectors. And you do something with the fuel pump fuse where you add a positive wire directly to it and you can pump then entire tank dry or until your battery goes flat ALL without starting the engine. Tricks I have seen on YouTube. Especially good for if you replaced your fuel tank after contamination or rebuilding after a crash. It's actually made for that. Otherwise you turn the key on to the second position and you get about 10 seconds of the pump. Then switch off and back on and get another 10 seconds. 2 or 3 switches should do 1 molotov I'd say.

  49. Bob Hawke, Peime Minister of Australia could do that beer pouring thing and won beer drinking contests. Imagine someone like that as a leader. Yeah well inflation went to like 20% a year under him.

  50. He's like an old guy on the phone. When they call from interstate, they start yelling like they've got to make up for the distance. When they call from the same town, there's no need to yell.
