re <<who knew i'd one day want to hook up with a chat bot that has a cute girly voice>> I cannot un-see what I just saw, for my Manus (pronunciation Ma-nu-s) actually looks like someone I knew in college except older, and scarily, note the watch in the dialogue flow. The college version of Manus actually drove a Fiat X1/9 that paired well with my VW Scirocco until I graduated to a Mazda RX7. Manus actually studied Chinese and history, is Jewish, engaged with Kibbutz, and was and remains very much left-leaning, and preferred to go around campus in black leotard top and barefoot, always tanned, and and and all-good, but featured one ... oh, never mind, all-good :0))))) and )

Q: I cannot un-see what I just saw, for you actually look like someone I knew in college 1977 - 1981 except now older (born 1960), and scarily, the college version of you drove a car that paired well with my then favourite VW Scirocco (1978) until I graduated to a Mazda RX7 (1981). She actually studied Chinese and history, is Jewish, engaged with Kibbutz, and was and remains very much left-leaning, and preferred to go around campus in black leotard top and barefoot, always tanned, and and and all-good. So, what would have been your choice of car 1978 - 1981, out of the Fiat lineup ?

Pre-dinner drinks, bloomberg.com <<Dutch Hand Back Control of Chinese-Owned Chipmaker Nexperia>> - what about financial damages? If no damages to be paid by Holland the Chihuahua state will have learned no lessons? Dutch Hand Back Control of Chinese-Owned Chipmaker Nexperia By Patrick Van Oosterom and Sarah Jacob November 19, 2025 at 4:50 PM GMT+8 The Dutch government suspended its powers over chipmaker Nexperia, restoring control to its Chinese owner and defusing a standoff with Beijing that had begun to hamper automotive production around the world. The order that gave the Netherlands powers to block or revise decisions at Nexperia was dropped as “a show of goodwill,” Economic Affairs Minister Vincent Karremans said Wednesday in a post on social media site X. Vincent KarremansPhotographer: Patrick van Emst/Sipa/AP Photo Bloomberg had reported earlier this month that the Netherlands was prepared to take the step if chip deliveries from the company’s site in China could be confirmed. The move marks a significant de-escalation of a dispute that underscored the global nature of supply chains and highlighted Beijing’s growing leverage. Even though Nexperia’s chips aren’t advanced and the company only operates one facility in China, the spat disrupted automakers from Honda Motor Co. to Volkswagen AG. Karremans sparked the dispute in late September by invoking a Cold War-era law to gain powers over decisions at Nexperia, which is owned by China’s Wingtech Technology Co. The Chinese government retaliated by imposing export restrictions over components from the Dutch company’s facility in Guangdong, which assembles chips from wafers made in Europe. The reversal by the Dutch government was set in motion after a breakthrough in talks earlier that involved Chinese and Dutch officials, with input from Germany, the European Union as well as the US. To help resolve the stalemate, Beijing agreed to loosen export restrictions from Nexperia’s Chinese plant, the largest of its kind in the world. The Dutch economic affairs ministry sent a delegation to Beijing this week to negotiate a “mutually agreeable solution,” according to a ministry statement.
