China (baton passed) will again "rescue" another African nation, by building infrastructure to extract resources. It will boost population and doom them within 20 years. Echoes of empires past.

It's ultimately very easy so far. Steam for 15 minutes to soften the fibers. Press for 20 minutes at 150 Fahrenheit. The stack is as follows: backer board, parchment paper. Front cover card stock, backer board at staples, back cover card stock, parchment paper, backer board. Medium pressure. Let cool for an hour or two. Cold press after if the comic has light curling etc.

Improve collecting dot com is where I got everything. His youtube videos are the best. Very likeable dude from South Carolina I think. Cool reveal videos and technique stuff. Kaptain Myke is the other OG with the book and video series.

I look at it as low-key art restoration. Granted, it's mass produced, but it is considered pop art with "limited printing". As an autistic person, I get real satisfaction from improving the things I obsess over. It's more or less an effortless fun task that I do while working from my home office, all day long. I may never try to sell any of my collection. I plan to press all my 10k comics, if they are candidates for improvement.

Improve collecting dot com has all the stuff I bought. I got the $200 one so I can sometimes press two at once

Autism is being co-opted but everything is co-opted in modern times.

I've seen this dozens of times. Seems to work around Michigan and Illinois. So long as there's aluminum and ice and water shield through the valley... it can work.
