When I was in Taiwan, I saw a lot of such boxes for under 0.50 $ / each
If I wasn't microwaving I'd trust them.
I don't microwave even my microwave-ready boxes
too afraid of deforming
I have some glass ones I use from time to time. Honestly easier to just have food that tastes better or just as good room temp.
tbh
microwaved rice tastes better than fresh rice

highly doubt that
arent you living in riceland?
define riceland
Gross. Nothing better than getting fresh rice from the cooker or nice solid cool rice.
chink eye asia
no, I wish
I applied at xiaomi for a position in beijing, if they take me, I'll move
nice i guess
I'm just in Taiwan very often because my girlfriend is Taiwanese but I don't live there
And finding a job in tech in Taiwan is hard because there are enough techy Taiwanese
the whole software market is just fucked up
getting nice gaijin bonus
Then rather Hong Kong or Singapore
Bigger westerner bonus, English speaking society
Honestly the next thing will probably be micro factories and small production after the coming collapse or deflation of China's weird subsidy system.
Going to need to be your own boss because no one would be hiring.
yes we thought about that
Provided the internet doesn't get destroyed through censorship and regulation
since my girlfriend is also studying computer science, we could easily set up something by ourselves. Like trying to get software projects in Europe and lead a team of cheaper devs in China to realise it
but I don't think the crash will be that big
most probably some of the bigger companies, especially the multinational ones, will be stable enough by themselves
also the industry in the rest of the world will be more fucked
Honestly it depends on how flexible the supply chain will be by the time it happens.
Not much spoken about it but domestic CNC manufacturing and other assisted manufacturing tech is going through a surge right now.
can you please elaborate?
In terms of flow of goods it's starting to get cheaper to make things domestically, sure some things from China are cents on the dollar but for a surprising amount if applications off the shelf components aren't going to cut it and working with China, setting up the lines and then getting a product to market takes longer and gets a worse product in the end.
Before it was worth it but if there is a large downturn lean manufacturing is going to be a lot more maneuverable
first time ordering from taobao, hope nothing fucks up
Yes but another factor is that the wage gap between China and the West is not *that* huge anymore like it was some decdes ago
@momoko do you want me to read/translate your invoice/order confirmation just to be sure?
I don't have the invoice yet
G axis tea is brown switches right?
