I dig doors but the deck shall not cross my threshold - too high a step at this point in the collection.

Great stuff

I have begun practice making my own decks out of leaves and bits of trash that blow into the yard in preparation for the hard times…

Seldom does a deck make me this happy. Right on the edge of never considering the decks I already have...

I think I bought them all

Document for the mathematician to review - they are familiar with my earlier work, prior to the structural graphing and period discovery so it gets to the point rather directly after a quick primer. Collatz Structure and Period v4.pdf (updated v6 below) The latest find, just this morning, puts the l...

I would have distributed plastic tariff collection buckets a week prior - have to be prepared.

Not sure the dictator cares, but over here it pretty apparent from moves made already that wind still blows sails. Trump can shift to any other position and claim it was his original intent, as he continues to seek a win - though how he manages to get a clean exit from this is hard to imagine - I do...

china raised theirs to 125% overnight and seem to be going after the bond market angle I had put that in the “far from over” category, but frankly the way things are going I think its going to come to an end sooner than later, as we are headed quickly for people feeling it in their pocketbooks enoug...

Parts and new equipment raise costs, with over 100% tariff on things costing tens, hundreds, millions of dollars…

They put a (partial?) ban on hollywood movies

I too am a silver fan - and being two of my favorites as well I have the better part of a brick of the Patrons Teal - so your search is over

Spineless.

Yup.

A trio of deletions to keep the peace. Let’s try to not, shall we.

Messy, but for the best. Soon I would have been on to my feelings on military action against greenland.

As for my thoughts on how tariff situation will end, I stand by that - and it was as on topic and apolitical as I could muster, including the part about global effect.

Nice isn’t going to cut it for this one - I’m going with “farntastic”

I think the tariffs are a pretty big gamble that is unlikely to pay off on its face. Likely it will back off as it hits pocketbooks too hard and changes popularity polls and whatever token negotiations on old barriers can be taken will be taken and claimed as the intended target. It will take years ...

Just to be clear to everyone: if, for example, my favourite actor or musician started to openly mock disabled people then I would cease to support them immediately. I often make binary decisions on things I find black and white as well - and thats the way I prefer it - simple. Other things get more...

I know it’s a bad time, a heated topic, etc - but we still aren’t going to argue about it here without limits on how we treat each other as individuals.

The reason we don’t have politics as a topic is the same reason we don’t talk about it at thanksgiving.

I’m sorry, did we become a political forum and declare it open season on Trumpers while I slept?

Indeed - the cult comment was already over the line

It is fine to think that it will all be worth it or all be a fiasco - that at least is still a freedom we all enjoy.

Let’s try to not cross that line so deep into political debate that my delete finger needs to get busy again. its still sore from last time.

If a product is mostly made in China but gets minor assembly in Vietnam just to avoid tariffs, that can trigger anti-circumvention laws. The place that mostly made it will be the decider for tariff amount. Also one might argue, if one were for said tariffs, that attempting to circumvent them will on...
