EU Imperial Army headed for Moscow?

Right.

How many free trade deals do we have with other countries right now, do you know? I mean ones with no red tape. Is it worth 47% of our exports yet?

I'm talking about the countries who are prioritising whether to make a deal with us or with the EU.




I think you're confusing the Brexit lie that we'd be getting rid of all the EU red tape...

Don't forget to ask for a customs border inside your own country too.

But you have negotiate to get those things. And if your choice is between negotiating a deal with a market of 60m and a deal with a market of 300m, well do the math.

@ bolded. We just voted for...

You're right. We were trapped in a great deal.

We always had the option to carve our own paths with the vaccines. There's no law in the EU that says when a country can or can't give a vaccine.

Another cool thing about this is he only cares if it's the coat I wear to the park that I put on. If I put on my other coat, nothing.

So either he can tell them apart by sound, or by smell.
...

I just shook the coat and he came. It did make some sound though.

Reasonable idea. But, what if he's not just smelling the coat, but smelling me moving around at the same time, or smelling some change in my blood pressure or some other ninja dog scent thing.
...

Yeah, it's not really enough to know they can hear things I can't. It's a question of how much and how far and all that shit.






That would be so cool. Isn't their sensitivity in...

Nope. I'm sitting at the kitchen table on the computer, finish whatever I'm doing, then grab my coat off the seat next to me and put it on. 10sec later he's running down the stairs.




Not...

I guess the other question is whether a coat molecule could travel 40 ft around corners in ~ 10 sec. Seems a bit much.

I should say it's 4x the distance, concentrated more at the higher frequencies than ours. So a rough equivalent would be a human hearing me putting on my coat from ~10 feet away and around one corner...

Dunno. It's a leather coat, and if I wave it around I definitely get a whiff of leather. I assume that's coat molecules, not dirt.

Yeah I mean obv. the smell isn't going to beat the sound to his senses. I just find it hard to believe he can hear it at all. Also, if he does hear it, why not come running right away? Why wait...

Also, not an expert on fluid dynamics, but I assume that as soon as I pick up the coat, coat molecules start coming off it into the air. There's also presumably some background concentration of coat...

Here's a floorplan of a house similar to mine. I'm in the kitchen and he's usually in Bedroom 2 when this happens.
...

I intuitively lean towards hearing too. But I have a hard time believing he can hear me putting on my coat from the other end of the house.

The sound of me putting my arms in my sleeves is louder...

Haha, you should do an experiment.

I am downstairs, my dog is upstairs. I put my coat on to take him to the park, and he charges down the stairs, excited.

Ok, obviously he can either hear it or smell it (or he's psychic). But I...

I meant we won't be exporting it in the same volume that we did to the EU.





We had those markets as a member of the EU. Brazil is in Mercosur, which I'm telling you now for the umpteenth...

Not amongst economists, only amongst unicorn salesmen.





That's not how trade works.

1. Your best market is, caveat emptor, your closest market. That keeps shipping costs down, which in...

I wouldn't pretend that everything is sunlit uplands and ignore any problems that might arise, if that's what you mean. But I don't live there so I'm less interested in how it affects them than in...
