Why not China?

Trivia question: which two idiots who caused an international brouhaha did China just execute again?

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

And we are now entering month #3 without Web or Cable TV at home.

I am dieing.
Why are you doing this?
It turns out that the Internet and TV are illegal in Quebec, due to their use of the English language.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

My employer just decided to move some its production capacities to a low-cost foreign location: Alabama.

They already have production capacities in China. Which will be increased in the next years too. But the move to Alabama was mainly to be close to the market. The stuff produced in China is mostly sold there (and in Eastern Asia) too while Europe is supplied from Europe.

Agreed.

I was in Grenada two weeks ago. 30 degrees Centigrade. Not a trace of  snow. :D

Ah I miss that sort of year round weather.

I'm not doing anything. Videotron is taking their sweet time to extended its network to my brand new neighborhood.
