Have we technically entered into a Cold War with China?

It's ok. American businesses may have to raise prices with the tariffs but they'll definitely reduce prices when the tariffs are withdrawn. I mean, there's no way industries would uniformly keep the elevated prices just because we'll pay them, right?

I dislike that the only way to emoji a post is with a heart. I am sorry that should even be a concern but it does seem this state is chipping away at the spirit of decency faster than I would like. It's troubling to think about.

Well, I posted the bike anecdote on your other post not knowing about this. We can get to OSU, to a spectrum of other places, but once you need to get up from the river path you have to go through pretty intense traffic with increasingly shitty drivers.

Every time this comes up the free money gets squashed and, yeah, fucking Kasich. As a math person, which I think you are too, it may be time to just give up.

In other news, you still can't safely ride a bike all of the way into downtown and they're making everyone go back into the office.

β€œWomen will be happy, healthy, confident and free. You will no longer be thinking about abortion.”

Wait! Let me reword that.

β€œWomen will be unhappy, unhealthy, less confident and less free. And, you will be thinking about abortion because you can't even afford to feed yourself.”

Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.

So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

After I blew up the video, I then understood the dice roll. Pardon my ignorance. I am still curious if you were able to run everything on 3.3v. This looks awesome!

I love the progress on your device but can't tell exactly what it is doing or will do. Out of curiosity, what is the display voltage? Same with the toggle-pot. Are you running 3.3v on everything?

Remember how great it was to spend 45 minutes in line at the bank? And then when you'd come out, people would throw a trashcan over your head and pull your pants down and then push you into traffic.

They're at the point it's hard to tell what's deliberate and what's not.

Private data of Trump officials in Signal scandal accessible online: report Der Spiegel reports that in some cases it found password details for Mike Waltz, Pete Hegseth and Tulsi Gabbard via hacked data dumps and commercial providers

Don't worry, something bigger will come along to wash the memory of this away entirely.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Years ago, some older kids were in a unique position of leverage where they could tell me I looked like "sympathetic puke that shit itself in the front" and I couldn't do much about it. I wonder what they're doing now. I haven't seen them in a long time. Hopefully doing well.

Pope Gregory declared that black cats bore Satan's spirit in a context where his words and works are considered infallible. So, if you believe in Satan and you're all "pish-posh, black cats", YOU'RE A FUCKING PERSON THAT BELIEVES IN SATAN LIKE HE'S A REAL THING. Get your shit together!

Do you think a parent from Detroit sees another from Windsor and thinks, "it's now possible my child may be drafted to fight their child" and feels like that's a positive thing?

Remember the game where you'd to say "Otter Rock Crock" 3 times then run the school hallway tearing everything off the walls and breaking all of the lights?

My cousin told me about it so I was the only one doing it at my school. Also one where you punch the teachers but I forgot the name. How fun!

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

Who saw this coming? I am almost curious if the obscured parts of the chat had plans on attacking Canada, Panama or Greenland. Also curious if Hegseth was texting while drunk.
