I'm actually surprised that Putin is acknowledging the asymmetry of capacity here. I'd have imagined he'd pitch inconsequential bullshit to avoid admitting what type of ceasefire would work in his favour
Yes. By the time those come down to a per-unit cost, they're something for sure, but nowhere near as large of a factor of cost of materials.
Again, if we were talking a 5% cost increase in raw material input, then the ratio between additional unit cost of materials and unit cost executive salary would at least be closer. But we're talking terriffs that are STARTING at 25% and god knows who'll say the wrong thing to cause them to jump to 50 or 100.
As exorbitant as they are, you are probably underestimating the volume of production and so overestimating the per-unit cost of those salaries.
Ford, for example estimated a 25/10 teriff on steel/aluminum would add 1.6 billion to input costs in 2017. Now we're looking at 25/25 so, I dunno, 2 billion per year (2025 dollars)
You could cut all executive pay at Ford to 0$ and you'll still be in the red by like 1.8 billion.
If the teriffs burden exceeds the profit margin, which in most cases related to recent US discussion it does, if companies don't raise prices they'll be selling at a loss. No amount of corporate belt tightening can save you, even if there was an appetite for that, which there isn't anyways.
I'd thicken the bottom, and then have the interface have some pegs/holes to fit together like a puzzle. If you're printing in that orientation the pegs should be unlikely to shear off. Then, lots of super glue and sand it down. As others have said, a lip underneath the interface would give you more surface for super glue as well.
Because it's going in your fridge, there will be inevitable spills that need cleaning. So I'd want to minimize the seam and complexity on the interior of the container.
Anytime literally anything happens, they're there to spin it to a PR pitch.
Like, I don't disagree that it's critical. I want it. FPTP is idiotic.
But the relentless single-mindedness is to the point where I don't even need to check the username anymore. The fediverse is a small enough space that one person (or small group sharing an account?) can really saturate a channel.
If there is one thing I can promise you, it's that you don't have to tell Canadians not to fall for it. Annexation is a non starter, there is literally no argument that could be given regardless of validity. The fact that any promises are obvious lies is wholly irrelevant.
I think what people don't understand is how incredibly petty Canadians can be.
The Canadian population will accept things getting 25% worse for themselves personally if it means things get 5% worse for the people that inflicted it. With these terriffs, there is an asymmetry of effect... But there is also an asymmetry in the amount of pain that can be stomached by the populations as well.
If the two countries find themselves dragged into an "economic winter", there is one population significantly more familiar and comfortable with the idea of riding out the winter.
Is the obvious answer so he can feign ignorance of the support, or that there is a reason he wouldn't pass the security check?
