Also, the United Parcel Service.

Tried shipping a GPU to PR from mainland USA once. UPS wanted $60 because they think of PR as international. The USPS will do it for a flat rate shipping box of like $15.

You don't file lawsuits just for posturing. If that's what you want, you make concerned comments to the press.

All this "part of the plan" stuff assumes Trump has a plan. He doesn't. He is stupid on a subatomic level.

The idea behind it is that post-2008, low interest rates let the rich run wild buying up real estate and stocks.

I don't really buy it, though. Trump isn't that smart, and nobody was really asking for tariffs that are so strong across the board. Even Project 2025 is split on the issue, and what support it does give for them is much more targeted.

This is Trump's bad idea all on his own.

An RTC that you want to leave on its own for a very long time. Like underwater.

They have tiny current output. Only suitable for a few niche applications. The company's claim to fame is making them cheaper, but don't expect much.

Amateur. You're supposed to blame Chinese hackers paid for by George Soros, and go on like nothing happened.

The depth of stupidity of this Administration will be studied by mathematicians for centuries as a new form of fractal.

Helps when you're a kid, and not the one paying $2/picture for the flash.

Source. Take the cost based on a 12-pack of Magicubes, divide in 4 because there's 4 shots per cube, and adjust for inflation.

Nope, we don't. This talking point is about a decade out of date. The solutions are all sitting right there without building any new nuclear.

I think a lot of the reports of high bandwidth/cheap rates around Europe are cherry picked. When I looked a nationwide averages, it doesn't seem particularly better or worse than much of the US. At least, not in the populated areas of the US. Rural access is another issue.
