The best way to "stand up for yourself" when a company that sells a luxury product is to not buy said product. In which case this tariff nonsense doesn't affect you. More people were affect by the increase in the cost of groceries and gas than the cost of a Switch 2.

IMO I think it's weird to focus specifically on Nintendo. The American government basically screwed over its populace and a ton of foreign companies (less sympathy for the former though). I don't think it's realistic to expect these companies to reimburse companies, because logistically it'd be a nightmare. The only way I can imagine consumers getting their money back is if the government used the tarrif money to pay a portion of the federal income tax for its citizens, ideally the lower tax vracket. Unfortunately that won't happen.

You can use regular dish soap on a cast iron. The big no-nos are soaking for an extended period of time and not hand-drying after washing

"operating at a loss" =/= "low revenue"

That is a much stronger argument, except Israel is hardly ever portrayed as a "hero." The Bible portrays Israel as a nation that is constant going astray and making the wrong decisions.

Lol, somebody hasn't actually read the Bible. You have taken quite a few liberties, just in the first few points.

  1. Jesus is never portrayed as "ordinary."
  2. The wisemen don't proclaim anything. An angel appears to Mary before Jesus is born and tells her exactly what will happen and what to do.
  3. Jesus is a literal baby at this point. He can't refuse anything
  4. Assumptions are of no value compared to facts, or at least something that is actually in a historical text or the actual Bible.
  5. This is not what "Crossing the Threshold" would be in the Hero's Journey. It's like Luke leaving Tatooine or Frodo leaving the shire. Jesus is the son of God, at least in the context of the New Testament. There is no "threshold." He's part of an omniscient being.

and considering that's almost half of the steps, I don't think we need to go any further

Who are you trying to apply the Hero's Journey too? Jesus? Because it doesn't really fit at all.

TV is the biggest waste of time. I enjoy some shows, but I can acknowledge that a lot of it really is just something to fill time rather than "art." I've cut back my TV and YouTube consumption a lot, and it enables me to do a lot more non-passive hobbies. Worst case scenario I read or game, which I consider a much better use of my time.

Ideally there is a twist where they all turn out to be toxic, and pest control-senpai clears them out.

Just fyi: MDPI-published research does not have a good reputation.

I tried the same user, and it worked for me just now. Thanks for working on this project!

 

Anyone have recommendations for hardware to run Moonlight on a 4K TV? I want to play games on my PC, but I don't want to isolate myself in the office. I imagine a mini-PC would be more appropriate than something like a RPi, but does anyone have specific recs? I have never really bought a device like this. My laptop is not suited for the task so "use an old laptop" isn't a good rec for me really. And yes this relevant to linux since the server and client will be running linux. ;)

 

I spend a lot of time creating system diagrams for presentations. I always use Inkscape to draw these diagrams. However I ran into a scenario where I wanted to animate them. The animations I'm looking for are dead simple. I want to be able to fade in, fade out, and slide basic shapes. The way I worked around it this time was by using PowerPoint. However, is there an FOSS alternative I could use? I would probably need to also export the animation into a gif or some other platform agnostic format. Bonus points for something that can use the images I draw in Inkscape.

 

I'm using a Fellow Stag and a metal V60 with a fabric filter. I do a 1:16 ratio (16g of coffee and 256g of water). Generally I'll place the V60 on the Stag while it brings the water up to a boil in order to heat it up. Then I'll saturate the fabric filter with the hot water. I'll use 212F water, but after pouring the water over the grounds, my instant read thermometer will read 195F. It seems weird that despite doing everything in my power to preheat all the equipment, the water drops a lot in temperature as soon as it hits the grounds. Any tips to tackle this problem?
