Thanks. Just reported his post as ‘fraud or scam’ lol. I know nothing will happen but it made me laugh.

Ah what the heck

Logistics is probably the wrong word, I don’t mean the actual physics of space combat, that never super mattered to me. As a kid that played a lot of X-wing so I probably imprinted some of that onto the movies. That game made it feel like a real space navy with an organization, ranks, squadrons, tactics, etc. that made more sense than the way the movies portrayed it.

I always disliked that the movies didn’t show more of the world-building, they definitely could feel shallow at times, but considering they were based on old Flash Gordon type serials I guess it makes sense.

Maryland does.

I find Jedi boring and have always been way more interested in the space fleet battles/logistics/tactics. As a kid I would watch RotJ and fast forward through the ground/throne room scenes just to watch the space battles. I still know exactly where all the scene cuts are.

Look at my pfp. :-)

There was a website I remember back in the early 2000s about a fictional communist Canada. It was hilarious and awesome and wish I could even remember what it was called…

Whatever is cheapest/easiest for my family.

Friend bought me ToTK so I’ve been having fun with that.

We just switched to that same plan from an Xfinity Family Plan we were on with my sister and her family. Been happy so far.

Also really enjoyed that one.

The Long Dark with headphones in a dark room. Really makes you feel cold.

Elite Dangerous as well. My ship auto-docking while I look at my side screens and hear various radio chatter is awesome.

Don’t threaten me with a good time. :-)

Seriously though, we have friends there and have visited. We fell in love with all of it, from the culture to the landscape.

We’re on a limited data plan to save money so I already keep it turned off for everything except messaging. I don’t think we could afford a full-fat data plan! That crap adds up quick.

Personally, if I see a full trash can I will keep my trash with me until I can find a place to dispose of it. I can’t imagine just throwing it on the ground regardless of the can situation.

Not go to work and sleep for about a year before I figure out what I really want to do.

Edit: move to Finland first.

Anti-dumping orders can be very specifically targeted (down to a manufacturing company level) to combat the issue in your first paragraph. Sometimes the duties can be over 100% on items that get ADD.

There are still high tariffs on many raw steel products from many countries - it’s called Section 232 duties.

Just to add, I work with this stuff all day as a Licensed Customs Broker. The US already has a lot of low tariffs (duties) on a huge range of goods. There are also a lot of free trade agreements in place that reduce or eliminate these tariffs if certain requirements can be met. The first round of tariffs on China are still around, tons of products from China already have 25% duty on top of the ‘normal’ duty rate for a said product.

I am curious what mechanism they will use to try and impose the tariffs quickly - there are only certain legal ways to do this and they take time and some need Congressional approval and investigations.

Really depends on who you ask. My wife has absolutely hated every cologne she has smelled so far.

I believe it. We visited in late summer so didn’t see it. I don’t think I’d mind much myself but it’s all academic as I’ll never live there.
