He's adding tariffs to uninhabited islands, and islands that do no trade with the US. He has no idea how any of this shit works.

It is in Canada. You show any Canadian the picture in this post, and they will tell you it's a timbit.

I've never once heard anyone ever refer to them as anything other than "Timbits", just as I've never heard anyone ask me to pass them a "facial tissue", and I've never heard of "hook and loop fastener" shoes. The word got genericized.

OpenSUSE. People don't seem to give it much love, but their system settings application YaST makes command line usage completely avoidable for average users. Even for power users, YaST makes command line usage optional rather than necessary for most tasks.

People also just need to be more selective about where and how they automate.

For example, I wanted my coffee to automatically start in the morning. So instead of buying a "smart" coffee maker, I bought the dumbest possible one and a smart switch. Now, no matter what happens with that switch, the worst that can happen is I have to manually hit a button to get coffee.

Even if you don't believe in climate change, closing coal plants is good. You don't need years worth of data to see the smog go away.

The whole "answer this trivia question" gatekeeping is dumb.

But the unreasonable metalhead in me also wants all band shirts to have been bought at a show, so maybe I'm a bit guilty too.
