Almost Free Shipping

You can ship a lot of Baofengs for $600...

It now costs just $596 to ship a 40-foot container from Shanghai to the U.S west coast. Incredible. https://t.co/9SoAz6bqS4

GlocalMe

I'm not traveling internationally much at all anymore, but the GlocalMe device/service would have been really handy.

2nd year we have brought a glocalme device to Europe. Fantastic/cheap way to have good data. Highly recommend. pic.twitter.com/u0E8wHFJnb

Time

With apologies to Chicago...

"Does anybody really know what time it is
Does anybody really care
If so I can't imagine why
We've all got time enough to cry"

A plan to eliminate time zones.

Zhem's Fighin Words

I'm too old for this:

“You can always politely ask,” she wrote. “’Oh, nice to meet you (insert name). What pronouns should I use?’ is a perfectly fine question to ask.”

Congrats to the USWNT!

A very surprising match... I was expecting a very close game, not:

"How did you get a hat trick in the World Cup final?" "I scored from midfield in the 17th minute."

Who wins today?

Argentines or Clementines?

My World Has Been Turned Upside Down

Via 40 maps that will help you make sense of the world. Also from that page, it appears that some countries are too busy drinking spirits to drink coffee.

Changing World

For Women Under 30, Most Births Occur Outside Marriage:

"One group still largely resists the trend: college graduates, who overwhelmingly marry before having children. That is turning family structure into a new class divide, with the economic and social rewards of marriage increasingly reserved for people with the most education."

The drivers for skipping marriage... Selfishness? Independence? I'm not a proponent of loveless marriages, but this is still disturbing to me.
