My favourite are the overly specific records. “Joe Bob has recently broke the record for most points in the first game after a knee surgery with 4 points. The last record holder was John Jock who scored 3 points after a knee surgery in 1987.”
I am always reminded how precise and verbose one must be in text since it’s so easy to intend one meaning but have people interpret another.
I said I wondered why, my dude. Past tense. As in “I initially wondered why Samsung wasn’t on the list, so I looked up the list, and saw it’s only for Chinese companies.”
I’ll play journalist and link the actual list (PDF). I wondered why Samsung, a company that literally produces military weapons, wasnt on the list. The list is specifically just for Chinese companies. There is apparently a law requiring the Department of Defence maintain and publish this list.
