    Xenon, I was doing the same thing two weeks ago. Made a mention on FB about my frustration and I had an acquaintance immediately offer up a freezer they were getting rid of. You might try the same?

    My backup plan? I was going to buy a used refrigerator with a 5 cubic foot freezer for the basement...

    By the way, you may want to check used appliance shops, estate sales, or moving sales.

    This may come down to ad blockers and tracking protection software.
    On my Mac with Safari, I see embedded tweets just fine; I'm running Adblock Plus and Ghostery Lite, both with default settings.
    If you know which ad blocking and/or tracking protection software you are using, try researching on the web on how to check if your ad blocking or tracking protection software is blocking embedded tweets.

    @George-K said in The Cuomo Family Copes With Coronavirus:

    She suggests a "vitamin drip" to restore energy.

    It's only $300, so go for it!

    You try promoting that in the UK, you might end in court... what an outrageous invasion of civil liberties!

    China may have a small window to get their house in order before things stop going in their favor.

    They've invested like crazy to bootstrap domestic industries. Some have worked (manufacturing, batteries, telecom). Some are still works in progress (compute, AI, etc.)

    But they're running out of time. They've invested like crazy in certain sectors and their demographics get worse day by day.

    Also - they may be richer. But richer people don't want to work shit jobs, but they're not rich enough and well-trained to compete well for the good jobs either.

    Can the regime withstand multiple years of stagnation or worse?

    I'd agree - they're scared, insecure and lashing out.
