  • Look, I hate the guy, but that is how you bandage an ear.

    People got shot so that parts real.

    He could have been nicked or he could have caught it on a sharp point bending down or he could have cut it with a fingernail.

    My money is on the fingernail. He’s probably on blood thinners. He’s probably got thin, brittle skin. He probably clawed at his ear when the bullet whizzed by.

    He could easily have nicked it. A nick can bleed like crazy and also heal very fast.

    From there it’s all spin…

    The simplest explanation is probably this given how fast it healed, I guess.













  • It’s going to turn out that a nation of billions can, surprisingly, figure out how to make chips domestically once it is no longer possible obtain them efficiently from external markets. This might take a few years to ramp up but it will happen and the market will be flooded.

    Most people I’ve talked to on forums like this believe it is impossible for various reasons that center around technical competence.

    I am no lover of Chinese governmental policies but this attitude is both racist and risky. I am old enough to remember people saying Japam was only good at copying Western inventions, for example. I also remember a few years later when everyone wanted to learn to speak Japanese and The Book of Five Rings was the hot CEO book of the month.

    China will figure this out.
