He’s an older guy. Not exactly Ming dynasty, but was probably a kid when the Japs occupied his country.
He was pissed. I’m trying to think of a way to use both. The Chinese equipment is really a bold knockoff of the Japanese equipment one model ago.
I may throw the Chinese the pipe, but have to let the Koreans and the Pennsylvanians bid.
From the tone, this was more, "Villain, I have done thy mother”
Titus Andronicus (Act 4, Scene 2)
That’s pretty much every Chinese product. They’re getting better about innovation, but I wouldn’t get too too excited yet. With that said, Dianping.com/sherpa/meituan beat uber eats big time
On a different note: I think I’ve deAsianed my parents…
Scene 1:
me: I want to double major in BEPO and Russian Studies
Parents: What?! That’s too hard
Scene 2:
Me: I got a position as a lab assistant
Parents: Congratulations! Don’t work too hard. I think 2 hours a week is enough
Scene 3:
Me: I think I’m going to take multivariable, macro, comp sci and stats next semester
Parents: What?! That’s so much STEM, you’ll get too stressed
they’ve been abducted …
more typical responses:
me: what do I major in?
them: double major, one of them being math
me: what about premed for the 2nd major?
them: sure.
You’re too lazy work harder
why would you be stressed? it’s just school
Are you the last of several children?
I only ask because I’m the youngest of five, and by the time I was a teen ager my dad was broken.
I’m the oldest of 2. I guess I was so difficult I broke them 
It’s a pretty bold copy. Like I am surprised the Japanese company doesn’t sue. I laid the schematics on top of each other, and they line up like someone literally traced it down to the bolt patterns.
But then, I think the the Japanese company copied a German design that copied one from Ohio.
Ha! if suing worked, these wouldn’t exist:
It’s a little different with big industrial equipment. You may not be able to sue the Chinese company, but you can sue the end user for using your technology.
I know, I’ve done it and gotten injunctions to shut down whole plants.
Generally, the smart buyer will require a performance bond/insurance that covers this possibility (hint hint, TFR).
Yeah. The German mining company I worked for would see their machines with white paint and Chinese names on them in Chinese mines. They copied every single thing down to the mm, even accidentally copying the German logo, but they made it with pot metal.
The German machine would run for 1.5 years 24/7 in a mine between overhauls (even while being maintained by Chinese peasants). The machines are good for 3 overhauls usually.
The Chinese ones would run for a month with 65% uptime and get thrown away lol.
Well we’ve gone with the high bidder — from Ohio and Korean pipe.
You use WeChat (no idea how I missed this one)
It’s almost too obvious to bother mentioning
Hahaha
The humor is further compounded by the fact that she most likely uttered the phrase, “Are you trying to kill me by pissing me off?” sometime prior to the attack. Ni shi bu shi xiang QIIII SI WO?!!
i wish it would work on teachers, would be helpful 15 years ago.
I’m Asian myself. Philipino living in the USA.
You know you’re Asian if you think that Goku can undoubtedly beat Superman in a fight.
Figured this was the place to put this:
My eldest daughter is home and reminded me of the time I was in Shanghai for three months when I was a baby lawyer. My daughters came with my mother for a two week visit. This was some time ago when Westerners were not as common as they are now.
I used to get a fair number of looks in public in China, mainly because I am tall by Western standards and have curly black hair, a long beard, and blue eyes.
My daughters from my late wife were (are) three blondes and one with bright red curly hair (like Shirley Temple curly and red). They are, objectively, and not just because I am their father, very pretty. As in, one of my daughters is a very minor TV personality in Israel. So at least local TV news anchor pretty.
When they would go out (especially when they went to play at a park across from the hotel), huge crowds would gather and watch them, and people would touch their hair, particularly my little Day Walker, er, I mean ginger. The brave ones would send their kids to play with ours and take pictures.
My mother was even offered money by a local doctor for a lock of red hair, apparently for some kind of medicine. (She declined, or so she says.) If anyone can say what this is about, please advise.
Anyway, I never felt more like a foreigner than such times. It was funny at first, then became a little weird.
What’s up with Philipinos and goat barbecues? Had two different Philippine doctors as neighbors and both would routinely kill goats and have BBQs.
@whang- you’ll love this one
I spoke to my mom this morning about future plans and the conversation basically turned into a debate over whether I should get my PhD at Harvard or Stanford 
(I’m a freshman)
She used “nothing would make Grandpa happier than to have a granddaughter with a PhD from Harvard” as an argument
Confession: My primary motivation for siding with Stanford is to avoid spending another 3+years in the cold
@alex44938 Harvard or Stanford? You only have time to write so many applications and there are 8 ivy leagues, 9UC schools MIT and the CMU CS program
