I wish my wife could have this experience. :-( She’s been cycling through different meds trying to find one that makes her feel the relief and joy that many people talk about when they get meds.

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.

Whatever is cheapest/easiest for my family.

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.

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.

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.

Sorry posting on mobile, I’ll come back later and get the correct link.

My wife has been trying different meds for months with her doctor and so far nothing has helped. I really hope she finds the right one that can make her feel like you describe. :-/

Just wanted to comment and say Lemmy baseball fan here! There are dozens of us, dozens! Also not in IT and I don’t use Linux but here I am. I feel like an imposter on Lemmy.

I managed to get a Steelcase chair off Craigslist for a great price and it has changed my home office life. I could sit in that chair 24/7 and still be comfortable. And they replaced a broken part for free even though I wasn’t the original buyer.

Yeah lockdown was living my best life. At least I managed to get a fully remote job with a small company several states away.

Yep, I backed the Kickstarter and hang out in their Discord. Wasn’t sure on the rules about promoting stuff like that so I didn’t mention it. :-)

Star Control 2: The Ur-Quan Masters

Always loved me some Mara Jade and Talon Karrde.
