There are a lot of complicated reasons why high tariff are a global problem in a global economy, but simply put:

1. High tariffs raise prices
2. High prices reduce sales
3. Fewer sales reduces profit

Reduced profit for a single company or industry isn’t usually detrimental to a national or global economy. But when an entire country’s economy is hit with reduced profits across every industry, then it creates a problem.

So in summary, Americans are going to get fucked directly, “foreign countries” are going to get fucked indirectly.

Yep. Apollo shutting down is why I created an account, deleted all my content and my Reddit account once things started getting really fucky.

I have a smart deadbolt that is keypad operated. It’s awful.

Never used the smart features, and there isn’t a bypass to unlock the door when the batteries die — which happens a lot, especially in the winter. I tried using rechargeable batteries in it, but they last less than half the time of normal batteries.

There is nothing more frustrating than punching in the key code and hearing the death of HAL9000 voice before the deadbolt fully unlocks. Luckily I have a back door that isn’t smart.

I’m replacing the lockset soon and this won’t be a problem anymore, but holy shit is it frustrating and wasteful.

I mean, yeah. That was kinda the point.

I’m glad he connected the dots, but he’s incapable of having a true moment of self reflection.

No, no. You see, you have to serve one term, skip one, and then serve two.

Or, just be republican.

Weezer is a tough call because most of the time they’re sad because they’re horny.

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice

You’d think that the absence of the word “consecutive” and the phrase “no… more than twice” would mean quite clearly that it’s two terms period, not one, plus two consecutive terms.

Unless, of course, these fuckheads are arguing that consecutive terms count as one.

Fuck.

Thankfully I must have avoided whatever business were doing this.

However, I have had the experience of attending schools that had weird urinal designs.

There was one where the urinals looked like regular toilets but without tanks or lids. They also didn’t have dividers and were placed in a position where anyone walking in the bathroom or using the sink got a full view.

There were other schools that had the “trough.” Just a six foot long piss bucket.

As with remote work, it really depends on what you’re doing. Some jobs and classes are tailor made for remote, some are nearly impossible to accomplish remotely. COVID inspired some really creative uses of technology but at the end of the day, it was an augmentation not a drop-in replacement.

I think online courses should be available as much as possible whenever practical, but what we all have to realize is that designing an effective online curriculum is expensive and difficult. We also have to realize that certain activities will never transition to online and we just need to accept that. Taking a lecture with 300 students? Put that that thing online. Learning an instrument? You need to be in-person for your lessons and ensembles.

What needs to change is how in-person workers are compensated and how institutions support the development of online programs. It’s not either/or, it’s both/and.

I had an atomic purple gameboy at one point and I miss that thing dearly.

I really enjoy seeing the components of a thing and most of my mechanical keyboards have translucent or semi-translucent cases.

They’re not high-tech, but “demonstrator” editions of fountain pens also hit this vibe.

And if anyone is curious, I’m pretty sure the watch in this image is a Swatch JellyFish (or an imitation). Swatch still makes watches like this, but this style is called Clearly Gent now.

I’ll help you on your quest for downvotes because this seems fun.

American religious anti-intellectualism as we know it really started with the rise of evangelism and fundamentalism in the 1890s-1900s. But it goes in phases: Pentecostalism emerges in the 1900s, fundamentalism and the rejection of modernity and science in the 1930s, anti-liberalism and various “youth” movements in the 1950s, television ministries and mega churches in the 1970s, religious political conservatism in the 1980s and 1990s, and the rise of the non-denominational “bible follower” churches in the 2000s.

But America also experienced several “awakenings” in the 1800s, which gave rise to all sorts of new flavors of spiritualism and Christianity ranging from Mormons to abolitionists. And there’s the rise of the (literal) Salvation Army in the US in the 1880s (but we really have the UK to thank for them).

It’s been incubating here for a long, long time.

Thanks! I registered a domain with cloudflare and that was easy enough. I’ll read up on some alternative providers and see how this all shakes out.

Would I need to do anything with the custom domain beyond registering it for this to work with an email provider?

Because this sounds like a great migration plan: set up a custom domain, add it to protonmail, update emails, export data, and then switch providers.

I’m just a bit clueless on the whole setting up a custom domain part.
