SSAB - April 15, 2025

Should’ve recorded this earlier, but… had to lie down. Feeling rather tired. So had a a bit of a lay down after work.Is the Chinese market bottoming? Seems stocks have generally been going up, if only incrementally and lots of the companies I was following from late 2024 are now turning around once again after months of stagnation.Working on the language vlog podcast. Done the editing, now need to finish the audio. Thinking, wondering, if maybe I will make this into a YT show as well. I like the idea of the podcast, not having to worry too much about visuals.And, if students are using ChatGPT to write their answers, is it okay for teachers to use it to do their grading?Donate to the show!
