I'm pretty sure he can tell just by looking at them.

Is that where the phrase "Expensive as H" comes from?

Vancouver, Washington maybe

I was going to offer to do this for $5k per film. I'm also offering up my backyard if anyone wants to pretend it's Moscow or Milan or Mars or whatever.

I was looking at the diaper box. It says "100% leak proof" but above that in tiny letters it says "up to" Isn't that pretty much any diaper?

“People like you and me, darling, we don’t get to ride off into the sunset. But we get to stay around and watch the stars come out. And that’s not nothing, I suppose.”

I just learned there's an Audiobook Transcript Repository just two blocks from my house and they let you borrow the transcripts for free.

Remember, when you buy from eBay, you get the same products sold in the large retail stores - but you're supporting a local small business owner.

Wow, you know it's serious when Babylon Bee is back to telling jokes.

Hey - I'm going to be a few minutes to our meeting. Pandora just started playing "Kyrie Eleison."

If you're the type who only needs to hear a song title or a read a few lyrics to have it stuck in their head for days, know that I share your pain. Everybody come and play, Throw every last care away! Let's go to the mall... Today!

Can we tell him that if he wants to be Pope he needs to resign the Presidency? Remind him how he's never been pope and whisper in his ear that he's not good enough.

Look at the person to your left. Now look at the person to your right. Now look at the person behind you. Now look at the person in front of you. If you're at an airport, one of you doesn't have a RealID. If it's on or after May 7, one of you is going to have a pretty bad day.

There's a store near us staffed by a single robot. "Never takes a break, never needs a vacation!" They claim. This Starbucks is down one espresso machine and it's absolute chaos.

I love Burbank. It's 10:30 and I want to go walk a few miles. Do I need my hoodie? Nope, it's 65 degrees out.

Gemini (for as much as that's worth) suggests that generally the Tokyo Stock Exchange isn't as fixated on quarterly results as our exchanges here. (Though admits it's moving in that direction slowly). But, I do take your point. Maybe evolving platforms would help there.

Increased tariffs haven't hit yet, but tariffs exist. Perhaps it would be better if it also included the percentage.

Fabletics is posting a “Tariff Surcharge” on their receipts. I hope other companies follow suit.

What tourists are coming here?

Why wait? With all the news about tariffs, you can just raise your prices now.

Or just make products for the other 96% of the planet instead.

Then lower the cost of the console, thus lowering the cost of the tariffs and make it up in software, services and subscriptions. Sony and Microsoft platforms evolve. Nintendo seems to have one revision in them and then they get bored and go off in a completely different direction.

How must does all this cost? Seems easier just to charge more for the product and keep everything the way it is and hope that mid-terms or next election some of the crazy goes away.

One of the suppliers says something negative about "foreigners"

We need a different Congress first.

Musk: Why does the President surround himself with idiots.... and me?

These other countries (and companies) are going to realize that by themselves it might be daunting but together they're a force we can't overcome.

020

I feel like China's going to move beyond words soon, like we might start seeing infrastructure impaired or people in his inner circle mysteriously falling ill. I just wish it were a country with easier language. Mandarin on Duolingo is really challenging.

000

I'm not sure I understand how we have the ability to make this stop. Feeling quite powerless.

Waiting for the moment Elon asks "Why has the President surrounded himself with idiots... and me?"

000

Yep, and if my competitor has to raise their prices 104% because of tariffs and I don't, I can raise my prices 99% and still look good comparatively.

But I am perfectly fine if you put another line on the price tag showing how much of the cost is tariff.

Can't get past it until we use it all up.

Countries that have eliminated their smallest coin have realized a need to increase production of the next smallest coin. The nickel costs 13¢ to produce. Eliminating the penny was a nice story. Should have eliminated the hundredths place and gotten rid of nickel and penny (and quarter?)

"The world’s richest person, a key Trump adviser and political donor, was ultimately unsuccessful." Hopefully this will eventually double as his obituary.

It's either not located on this planet, or it's 100% of the planet. Or it is on earth, but it's a tiny piece on a completely different continent. I think those are the only options.

Not a train station, no need to announce your departure.

You should offer classes on how to be a heartland elite.
