I agree, this is bad logic. That said, that’s not what I hear from the current regime when I hear them talking about tariffs. What I hear is them thinking this will force countries to lower barriers to Americans doing business abroad. Once those barriers are lowered, tariffs are reduced or go away altogether. For the record, I do not think this is good policy, but the intent of the policy (at lease as I read it) isn’t to suddenly move all manufacturing back to the United States.

Is your employer matching some percentage of what you add to your 401k?

I’d buy a small private ship and sail around the globe. I’d occasionally port to pickup a friend or family member or drop someone off.

Is that the State Department flag or is it a flag near the State Department?

Temporarily lower prices. A large consumer base is needed to support the infrastructure that provides meat food products. More people eating more meat will normally produce lower prices in the long-term.

It is possible he is experiencing sensory overload and have undiagnosed narcolepsy.

I bought an old truck that runs. I got it from a coworker that for tired of it taking up space in his driveway. He sold it to me for $1000 which was probably a fair price. None of the gauges work so I need to keep an eye on fuel manually.

In that situation, calories per person is what will count. Sprouts are nice but aren’t going to do the job. Grains, root vegetables, and meats will count.

Same here. I have cold weather sleeping bags and appropriate clothing. I’ve got light weight cooking gear and water purifiers. I’ll be grumpy but otherwise fine.

Yes. Independent, rolling, stable.

I prohibit my kids from social media. I encourage other patents to do the same.

That I’m not disappointed in him.

I’ve got a private chat with a small group of friends. That’s my primary social media. We share news and discuss ideas.

It is like any other election for me. I don’t want either of them. I’m guaranteed to be disappointed.

Getting a second monitor for my work computer gave me a 30% boost in my productivity.

There’s self-hosting that’s low risk but does remove some convenience. For example, I use a offline password manager. I keep a Veracrypt container on my computer that hosts that and a few other important files. When I make enough updates, I’ll throw a copy into Dropbox so I can save access it elsewhere. The disadvantage is that I cannot update the primary version from one of those other devices but, for me, that’s not really an issue.
