We often have shortages because Chinese or others buy up the supply when theirs is poisoned.

To fix this there's now a Dutch baby formula factory in China.

We've already been warned that the Americans are likely to start buying in bulk.  :doge
Same with arbotion pills.

Same. There's whole businesses that do nothing more than buy Australian products like baby formula and stuff and send it to rich buyers in China.

#latestagecommunism I guess...

The Information: Panic at the Discord

The crypto party was as raucous as ever—and then someone turned on the lights. After a stablecoin crash wiped out some $400 billion in market cap last week, the crypto industry was left with shaken confidence and a massive hangover.

'Plan for the worst', Y Combinator tells startup founders as global markets go into a tailspin

It'll be much worse than they can possibly imagine.
I pretty much expect the bottom to drop out from under the non-essential tech market with the exception of video games and other forms of 'cheap' entertainment.

Pretty similar logos though.

I think the danger for the water brand is that it might be seen that they are owned or associated with Nuclear Blast given how much synergy there si between the brands and the way they market themselves.

Still, don't be typical fucking millennial dicks about it on social media.

https://www.smh.com.au/culture/tv-and-radio/sbs-drama-about-exploited-delivery-riders-tries-to-hire-extras-without-pay-20220624-p5awf2.html

  • A drama series about exploited delivery riders called for delivery riders to appear as extras - without pay.
  • Extras should be paid $211.63 per day, though there are some exemptions.
  • The ad was posted on Facebook twice over the past three weeks, but has now been removed.
  • SBS and funding agency Screen Australia have made it clear that all people employed on productions are to be paid.

What makes it worse is that SBS is the government-owned multicultural broadcaster. They should all know much better.

Hey Justin. This is Mike the founder of Liquid Death. Really sorry for this whole shit-uation

Anyone who thinks you stole anything as an artist is an idiot. You were just drawing cool skulls, same as Will Carsola who did our logo and a lot of our art, and same as Steiner just drawing cool skulls on his Insta. No one copied anyone. And it's my fault for this misfire on making a joke in public that started this whole pointless debate in the first place. NB can monetize the skull you drew for them however they want. We don't care and never really did. Hopefully they at least paid you well. And I was serious, would love to pay you to do a piece for the bottom of our case box. Your are is rad. My bad joke was not.

Me thinks the lady doth curr too much.

I guess that guy is just unaware of the perpetual "did/do QR codes actually get used?" debate that pops up at least a few times a year.

NFC almost definitely has far wider consumer usage.

I think QR codes had their mainstream moment with COVID and their use for contact tracing (at least here they did).

the qr codes are sometimes used here by online shopping sites to connect with your bank-id for payment options.

but it's not a very common solution, there are much easier options available
