If the worst thing he does is jack up the cost of an iphone we'll be getting off lightly.


I agree.

I saw this quote in a news article the other day:

TheArgus wrote:
Ben Barringer, global technology analyst at Quilter Cheviot, told the PA news agency that the cycle of US tariffs and reciprocal tariffs from other nations on US goods in response would have a “profound impact” on global supply chains, and that would inevitably mean prices going up, and not just in the US.

“Donald Trump’s tariffs are ultimately bad news for consumer electronics,” he said.

“No-one knows how much iPhones or other devices will now cost – there is still a lot to work out.

“However, it is fair to say that Apple is perhaps one of the most tariff-exposed companies out there.

Oh yes that help-each-other-out instinct is still there in a lot of people.

Quote:
“In metric, one milliliter of water occupies one cubic centimeter, weighs one gram, and requires one calorie of energy to heat up by one degree centigrade—which is 1 percent of the difference between its freezing point and its boiling point. An amount of hydrogen weighing the same amount has exactly one mole of atoms in it. Whereas in the American system, the answer to ‘How much energy does it take to boil a room-temperature gallon of water?’ is ‘Go f**k yourself,’ because you can’t directly relate any of those quantities.”

I'm thinking about the dream I just woke up from this morning. Specifically what someone said to me.

"Why are you setting out plans when you shouldn't even be here?"

What do you mean by that, dream? :scratch: Plans? Here? Where exactly? Huh?

In the dream world. The dream person knew you were asleep, but you didn't. :P

Depends on what you're doing though. Thirty seconds of wrestling feels a lot longer than 30 seconds in bed with someone. :lol:
