Their nicks are iangeker, Yan, and Kev - all are on China time, so getting late now. None are GPG'd or anything yet.
BingoBoingo: In other delights: here they have some sort of children's cookie which is notable for not being especialy sweet aside from the white chocolate chips. Back in old country these treats would not be marketable as health food.

mircea_popescu: i dunno how this "retirement vehicle" thing became popular (i could guess) ; but it's evident.
BingoBoingo: Retirement vehicle is a different kind of poverty than trailer park. Trailer park trailer is not mobile denotes still greater poverty.
