Giorgi··on Reddit banned me for developing Geddit
I moved on reddit back in Digg exodus days. Been there more than 15 years. Got banned recently mentioning that some Palestinians are terrorists. Mods cursed at me in the PM when I reported them to admins, Admin permanently banned my account. It's just a radical left echo-chamber now, which sucks because there are lot's of interesting niche sub forums.

I wish someone would actually invest in competing product, with less censorship and no braindead mods.

I've been buying Sonsodyne with Novamin for that exact reason (read on the reddit too) however, after 1 year of use, I see exactly 0 results. I don't think it does anything when used as a part of toothpaste, looks like it needs completely different delivery method.

Giorgi··on TSMC to build second Japan chip factory

Giorgi··on TSMC to build second Japan chip factory
Well EU is busy getting out of having their supply routs and clientele being depended on Russia, can't really exit two failing tyrannic dictatorships at the same time - can you?

Communist China is still in recession and as manufacturing keeps exiting to India and other places, Chinese market won't be that attractive anytime soon.

No wonder real Chinese (Taiwanese) companies want backup plants elsewhere and are not interested into selling-off to failing dystopian dictatorships.
