Yeah. It's Europe's largest online clothing
resale market. Do you know about this?
Yeah, and they're really popular because they don't charge a fee to the seller.
Um, so you can sell your clothes and get more money for them because anybody has
tried to secondhand resale online, you get hardly anything for it, and you get
more if you list on vintage. Are you a drifter?
You do? Yeah, I love it.
Have you found one in the city? It that you enjoy?
Okay. You don't have to reveal them on here.
This was founded in 2008, in Lithuania, and it's processed $12.3 billion worth

grocer. Maybe I shouldn't have given that for a
clue. It's okay.
I had it all right. I don't know about that.
Good thing I didn't get any chips on it. I wrote Kroger, Walmart.
Christine is right. Oh.
Walmart is citing its investment in EV ports for juice sales inside its stores.
Since drivers need something to do while their cars are charging.
Yes. Walmart is creating one of the country's
largest EV charging networks. Nearly 350 stations spread among its
4600 stores. It was the largest crowd, so I guess we
have time for a bonus. We have time.
I don't need it, but we have time for a bonus.
We're tired. I'm just going to say you have 2530.

That's good. It's it's Malaysia.
Malaysia. We'll be hosting the event.
It's going to be called Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia.
It was postponed due to disruption caused by the war in the Middle East.
Malaysia actually hosted F1 races for 19 seasons, but grew tired of the expensive
staging fees and falling tickets for expensive Bahrainis.
