So US imposed tariff on penguins, but 0 on Russia!

Figured out where these fake tariff rates come from that Trump is claiming. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.

So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

My guess is better coverage and latency with its sheer number of satellites.

They use low earth orbit, which require them to use more satellites, but lowered latency.

I have a young kid and about to have another one. I'm very happy with them. It's like I'm rising a puppy that can talk. I have a job flexible wfh work. So, I can take care of them with my partner.

The only downside are that I have a very small window of personal time, and I can't take too much financial risk as I used to, which is a good thing.

I think the decision making process behind having a kid is similar to the process when we decided to have a dog. You shouldn't have a dog just because someone push a pressure on you or something.

There was some speculations that the next game is gonna let the player create their own character. So, having Ciri as the main character is a surprise for some.

Do they have the facility to enrich uranium, though?

With the amount of marketing it received, I think people would still stick to Valorent or Overwatch 2. I only see videos and posts about Concord being a flop, than promoting it.

I guess the comment has an issue with the "fatal" in the headline, because the staff are unharmed.

Which I find weird that they are more concern with wording than the act of aurstriking.
