I use a metal filter in mine 😬 I wonder if not bringing it to a boil helps, I make mine at 195F/~90C

Smokes what?

It's possible, for sure. I tend to stick to the less risky plays with money market funds, bond funds, and sometimes the inflation ETFs, even before this. Right now, not including my 401k (which maybe I should update as well), I'd say about 80% of it is in money market funds, maybe slightly more. If it starts going the other way, I'll definitely need to move to the inflation ETFs ASAP.

Eh, Nintendo copyright striking switch emulators right before this release makes me wonder if Switch 2 games can be emulated in the same fashion. If so, then that leaves mainly online multiplayer games that can't be played, and online switch games are not a great experience.

Ah, gotcha. It'll be interesting (in a bad way, most likely) to see how this will affect those business.

Once again, this is why I didn't generalize and said that the PNW is well aware of that fact, and red states have their heads in the sand. I'm not sure how many times I need to say that to make it clear to you that I answered the question appropriately. I specified how Americans are feeling to back my statement of them being aware or not. Do you think the PNW, in general, gets their news from right wing news sources?

I doubt that, to be honest. The supplies to make the items will also go up in price, and the US simply doesn't have the industrial power and cheap labor that other countries have to make them. GOP voters think that somehow it'll make all things cheaper (which actually would be a bad thing, deflation isn't a good sign for the economy), but the price of everything is about to skyrocket.

That's not to mention that the few suppliers that are 100% US based would just crank up their prices anyway, because they can.

Personally, and not having much experience in economics, I think prices will skyrocket, people will stop buying things, and then that will cause huge amounts of deflation, bringing the US right into a deep recession. I mean, my partner and friends have already stopped spending as much, and that was before today. It's only going to get worse.

Steamdeck is better in every way anyway.

I don't think I'm the confused one here, to be honest with you, as shown by the other answers and upvotes in this thread. You do not have to specify non-US news to know that we're a rogue state - plenty of US media reports on it all the same. The question is clearly asking if Americans are aware that they're now a rogue state, and I answered appropriately.

It seems like maybe you don't want that to be the case, but my answer still stands: Yes, many Americans, especially in the PNW, are very aware of that fact. Americans in red states [the ones who watch Fox news especially] have their heads in the sand. You do not need to consume any media at all to be aware of that fact, it helps, but you don't require it to acknowledge it.

I fully understand and acknowledge that we're seen as a rogue state externally, and am painfully aware, as is much of the PNW. It's the red states that think "we're the best country in the world, and in fact, the only one that matters", which is exactly what my first comment was describing. People in blue states are rightfully embarrassed and are trying to distance themselves from the federal government for precisely this reason.

I don't think I agree, and many in the thread didn't get that idea. People outside of the US are obviously aware, the title is clearly asking if people inside of the United States are aware. Why would someone outside of the US have to ask if people outside of the US are aware? It makes no sense.

also (emphasis mine):

people in the US aware that they are a rogue state

It makes no grammatical sense if they're asking about opinions outside of the US.

Most of all, the US is fucked.
