I am very impressed by the engineering and design of my Bambu Labs printer. To me that outweighs a large number of stories about ballpoint pens. I've bought far less impressive machines from China too of course. But from here it looks

I hope we never find out whether China's military is a paper tiger or not. It sounds like Xi doesn't know either.

Select "all" on the graph to see the massive effect of the pandemic on freight prices. So what is driving the current much smaller spike? Houthi? If so that looks like a very effective way to make money on this commodity.
