I gave the first one a free pass (but didn't play it) because it was under development years before Rowling went off the deep end, and the developers and company itself strongly supported Trans Rights. But after that, they need to take their talents to a property that deserves it.

But with increased tariffs or even the threat of tariffs they 100% will not be built here.

How about we just assume you are never being serious, because you are *Shiv*?

In the 90's, I was hanging out in an online "bar" called Tequila Sunrise. My cousin got close to someone there who got "engaged" to another member, then faked her own death--total drama and craziness, but a real education in that we can never really know anyone who gets to choose what they tell you.

2010, our French branch was giving a presentation on a new HB diagnostic test that just launched in the US, a few years after the EU launch. Naturally our US product had 10% of global sales, but 60% of the revenue. When asked why, the head of marketing just shrugged and said "Because we can."

My 13yr old gamer boy is deeply in love with Midna from Twilight Princess. Has been since he was 9 and played it for the first time. He has mostly feral girls as best friends, so not even actual 13yr old gamers are as hopeless as this guy.

Yes, the formula they tweeted is literally only using the trade deficit, which speaks more to the importance of that nation as a supplier to US industries, than it does to their potential to take in trade. Vietnam, for example, supplies many of our electronic components, and has a 90% tariff.

They gave us the formula they used to calculate tariffs. It is explained here: www.usatoday.com/story/graphi...
The final % matches the formula gives for China. On Colbert they said it is what chatGPT gives as a response of you ask it to create a net zero tariff formula, but that might be hearsay.
Trump's tariff formula explained: How rates were determined for each country
The tariff rates were calculated using exports and imports from each country, a look at the formula.

This is demonstrably false. A million Americans had just died, and many more survived but were left in economic shambles from businesses which had failed and hospital bills. There was 14.1% unemployment. But no one listening to him actually knows that or cares about facts.

I used GOPHER to browse the NASA "website". That was the earliest version of the internet I had access to, and was out about the same time.

15 years ago, I helped my husband's grandmother buy our future son a crib off the BabiesRUs website. She had dial-up. We had a really great 2 hour conversation waiting for enough of the page to load for me to navigate to the next one...and so on...

We still use those for actual egg hunts because NO ONE wants to run over a real egg with a lawnmower ...in August.

At Michaels they were selling fake dyeable eggs for $5/dozen which put them cheaper than real eggs. I bought them for a different art project, but now going to dye the remainder to test try that out...

Given the fact that tourism is falling off a cliff and people domestically are going to be too poor to fly soon, good luck on him keeping that job...

Also support your local library by checking out ebooks through them :)

That last point is a BIG if, but thanks a lot for the info! It might still make the ultimate souvenir if we can find one.

Is this coming out before July? Because my family has a trip planned, and that might be worth it...of course we have to pay duty tax coming back, but still....
