Crazy News Stories

Reminds me of the USA:

I hope they didn’t actually inject air into the bloodstream. Whew, that would be bad. Brazil has problems and the covid vaccine will add another layer until it becomes readily available.

Well , one of the little perks of living in EU i guess.

Yeah , Vaccination is really slow here but once you finally get a shot it’s most likely going to be actual tested vaccine , not sugar water lol.

I was actually surprised Linus did this video.

I wouldnt call him ‘sellout’ but you know. Big youtube channel, lots of mouths to feed. They need a be on good terms with brands.

Linus has already stated that they don’t need samples of products. They can buy them themselves. So because he is so big, his is able to call companies out and not have to worry.

Not from an economic standpoint, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him be sponsored by any hardware manufacturer and he has no problems getting sponsorships from all sorts of other companies who’s products he does not review.

He might be served with convenience if hardware manufacturers willingly send him stuff to review, but it’s not something his whole business hinges on.

I get what you mean. What i’m saying thou is that if brands sees him and his channel as ‘rebellious’ , if you will , they might be less likely to advertise their stuff in general throu him.

Yeah he doesnt get sponsored by hardware brands , mostly . But you can draw a line to software as well and i’m pretty sure big chunk of his income is sponsorships.

Anyway, just rambling :slight_smile:

@Pylinaer this reply is also to your post.

The crazier part for me in this story is why Cincinnati, Ohio customs officers were involved in a shipment from South America to Hong Kong… :thinking::confounded: Makes no sense to me at all…

I don’t see how that doesn’t make sense though. The container arrived in the Port of Cincinnati and a customs dog sniffed out cocaine. Nothing to it really.

If they wouldn’t check containers which are just “passing through” then ppl could easily send tons and tons of drugs from Peru to (supposedly) Hong Kong and then unload it in the Port of Cincinnati after customs checked whatever was destined for the US and before leaving the port.

It only makes sense that whatever enters a country can be checked regardless of whether it’s destined for that country or just “passing through”.
