I'd trade some US bacon to Japan for some of their A5 Wagyu beef...

cost of bacon going way up...

not bacon

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I made my own recently but the cost of pork belly is sky high too so it isn't cost effective anymore.

You are warned!

Also lots of dead cows and pigs and goats.

Again, dead people shown, watch at own risk.

plundering - just curious on your take on this: if the Chinese government controls all information coming out of their country via all online platforms, how does that flood footage get out?

Some gets out. They have to temper what they say and usually play state sponsored music. Here’s some examples (the english is interpretation):

[OkieDokie]

Good illustration. Can see all the dams upstream and the ripple effect if they start failing. Of note and upstream from 3GD is the Cuntan measuring station its really high now

[OkieDokie]

Look at Cuntan plus flow - the flow will get to 3GD.

Someone tie this all together for me over the past two weeks.

It was really bad, forecasted for a lot more rain and I assume got it. It’s still really bad and now forecast for more still. We are at “yellow” and not far from crap hitting the fan and small towns down and up stream are being flooded regularly as they try to relieve pressure to not let the major cities get wrecked.

That’s about right?

Pretty much. But this is the 4th flood in last 1.5 or so months and each time there is less place for water to go. This one could be worse it all depends on how much water they let out of TGD. Problem with that is too much release means floods in Wuhan, not that they care. The flow and release numbers are key along with height. If they time it wrong dam go boom or have to release too much for downstream. And it keeps raining in the key mountains.

This looks absolutely horrific. Those poor souls over there. Really puts things in perspective, we are arguing over mail boxes ffs!

[OkieDokie]

Really cranking now. The release is way less than intake flow yet high and downstream will have more floods.
