I have a close friend I sold on a P2D and he was hoping for a restock. I'll try to talk him into a PT2. He loved the price point of the P2D. Looking forward to seeing more batches and what's coming down the road.

As another software engineer and CS educator, thank you for saying this. I think most of us knew all along.

I get what you're saying, but it isn't scary, it's the reality of our society.
I cannot afford to lose my job when I have a family who relies on my income. the job market is too unreliable at the moment to risk my current one.
I'd bet most people are in the situation as me.

Not to cheapen the significance of this whole thing, but it takes a major asshole to order such a horrific act. Then announce on social media. The icing on the cake his he owns that bullshit platform.
I’m genuinely more worried for our country, my family and everyone’s safety.

I’m playing through them right now. Beat XCDE on my OLED before switch 2. Now playing XBC 2 on my switch 2 and it’s running better. Could definitely use some resolution and framerate bumps.
I want more Quality of Life updates for that one. Like a line on the map to show you direction.

assuming there aren't any more applications (which I'm sure is unlikely) That leaves about a 15% chance of getting selected for the beta program. Those aren't bad odds, I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Congrats on getting the first units out! That's a big milestone!

Seems weird to like this, or put a heart on it. I don't love this at all.
I do appreciate you sharing it and putting a spotlight on it everyone should know that the cuts they made were waste. They didn't take any time to consider consequences.

Is there any evidence that the army would stand with the courts? I’d like to think this is true, but can’t rely on anything anymore in this upside down world.

The one possible silver lining is that Trump can declare all he wants, but it doesn’t change the fact that the people who would have to enforce and apply the tariffs would be committing a crime.
I’m not sure I’d want to risk counting on Trump to pardon me if I were in that situation.

I like to keep hope that sane minds will prevail and that there has to be a line those in power will not cross.
So far though they’ve crossed every line and burned it on their way through.
Day after day your version seems more and more plausible.

So how long until the appeal hits the Supreme Court and then it becomes a law?
I hate that the pattern is so obvious yet we have no good defense left for it.

Yeah you’re probably right.
1905 - 1945 especially:
2 World Wars,
Adoption of Cars,
Flight,
Nuclear Bombs,
And that’s just a few highlights.
The uncertainly IS the worst part. Wish I could pull a Dr. Strange and quickly view 1mil + futures so I could have some data.
