His "math" for calculating each is surprisingly simple and not based on anything "reciprocal" https://youtu.be/j04IAbWCszg

Normally Trump does what's best for the ultra wealthy, but de-dollarization of the world economy appears to be good for nobody in the USA. I have no clue what they're trying to do, I suspect he's just lost it and there's nobody left to tell him these tariffs hurt his croneys too.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if we're already too far along to save the dollar's position globally. Globally that's probably a good thing, but for any of us in the US it's decidely not.

Ya I don't know about other people's maintenance teams but I avoid calling mine whenever possible. They always get mud and dirt on the carpet after they enter, but more importantly I don't like people I don't know entering my apartment while I'm not there.

Has anyone seen customs ever actually search an electronic device before? I travel internationally nearly every month and have never seen this before, even in China.

Ya at least you can opt out of overdraft entirely unlike the banks using your money for irresponsible 'investments'. I have no idea why anyone has overdrafting active on their accounts beyond it simply being the default option, even for a $5 fee it's a total scam.

This is absolutely not my experience. Usually the libertarians I talk to are first and foremost contrarians who don't want to appear politically mainstream but also usually haven't thought too hard about politics before.

Thank you for clarifying that this removes the requirement to spend the money where it was allocated. This answers my question and could indeed be worse than a shutdown.

Most MAGA Republicans would rather a shutdown than giving in to Democratic points. The alternative wasn't Democrats getting one or two of their points in the budget in exchange for it passing, the alternative was a government shutdown.

I fully agree that when the Democrats have power they do absolutely nothing with it, but in this case I fail to see how they could have gotten any of their points in.

So although passing this budget was obviously terrible, how is it worse than no budget at all? No budget followed by a government shutdown would be the ideal case for Trump and Elon to take yet more power from Congress. The Democrats aren't in any good position of power right now so expecting the budget to include any of their priorities is unrealistic.

Polish grocery stores generally have it in the UK.

Moxie is significantly sweeter (and more offensive imo). I wish there were options for lightly sweetened sodas elsewhere but Kofola is the only one I know of and it's quite limited in availability outside of Eastern Europe.

Starting yesterday unfortunately Chrome and not Firefox. I just need a working web browser and haven't had the time to figure out what is wrong with my Firefox installation. I have no clue why but after updating to firefox 135 it eats up all my RAM (20GB+) and uses a significant amount of CPU while idle with only the process monitor tab open. Attempting to browse is unreasonably slow. Refreshing Firefox did nothing, despite now having a Firefox installation which isn't logged into anything and has no extensions. So I figured that if I'm going to deal with a browser not logged into anything it might as well be Chrome for a bit until I can figure out what the problem is since that's what all of the internet is designed to work with lately.
