I've got about 8 hours, but I also live on the opposite side of the earth +12 hours, so we'll see if it's bound to UTC time ๐Ÿ˜‚

This is the one car I've bought that I will never sell. Fantastic car, that drives like a gocart.

Same in Vietnam. The average gamer demographic makes like 15k-25k VND/hr. That's like $.60-$.1.10 an hour. So 55-110 hours of labor for a video game. Everyone here is a pirate, and rightfully so.

Steam, since they have regional pricing and support in my country.

I live in Vietnam, and I'm here to tell you that bugs and rats are more expensive than rice. I've eaten them all ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ

In Vietnam we're losing crop because of saltwater backflow on the Mekong. Dams have been built in several places upstream and all the reservoirs are being filled.

Oh yeah, absolutely. When I was stateside I put on better than 30k miles a year. An EV wasn't a viable vehicle for me (for work anyway). Must people I know aren't that though. Including the charger price as a constant is what inflated this, as well as commercial charging.

...how? Like, it cost $30 (10 gal) to fill my petrol car in the states. Even if I was using 150kwh in electricity, at my power rate in Wisconsin ($.13/kWh), it's $19.95. I live in Vietnam now, and pay 2500 VND per kWh, and petrol is about 23500vnd/litre. I have an electric moped that goes 110km/charge, and has a usable capacity of about 0.7kwh. I rarely empty the battery, but even if I did it daily, it would be .08USD/day.

I'd like to see the math crunched on this.

Edit: I found the math. It's dishonest. Shocker.

In Vietnam, I think it's just most names ๐Ÿ˜‚. Anh Nguyen is probably a good example. Most Vietnamese have the last name Nguyen. The national naming conventions rival that of religious families in the west. Think, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Anh, An, Thanh, and Minh. Women are the same, but named after things considered beautiful, Tuyet, Hong, Pham, Van.

Funny enough, many names aren't always gendered, so I've met a decent amount of couples with the same first and last names. An Thi Nguyen, and An Van Nguyen is a couple that comes to mind. I dont have to worry about doxxing, since I bet that exists over 1000x here.

I can confirm, living in SEA, that the right can also roll coal.

Yeah, however, they guy who installed it was a shoeless Vietnamese dude, smoking a cig in my bedroom. Also, with the gpon from the company, I could only hit about 180 down. I have a house in Wisconsin and I pay 89.99 for 900/30.
