Would you care to expand upon this point? I know that a VPN is not going to protect me from everything, but "almost nothing" seems harsh.

I would like to know more.

In this example, the child is living, and has needs.

Wish I could vote for him.

Well, that's not gonna win him any votes.

As a pure act, I can't see that it causes any harm.

However, it will very likely lead to frustration, anger, and poor treatment of the person in question. Those things are bad.

Very nice.

How about those Epstein files?

Do your iPhones usually take oil?

What do you think plastic is made from?

[–] SaltSong@startrek.website 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Packaging, no. But manufacturing it into something else, yes.

Do you think a tariff on copper would apply to an iPhone? Or a tariff on oil?

Congratulations on getting what you voted for.

That's generally how tariffs work. A tariff on grain is not a tariff on bread. A tariff on steel is not a tariff on knives. A tariff on cotton is not a tariff on clothing.

It can be, of course. A tariff can be on steel and items made with steel. But that's not usually the case, and it's usually called out as such. Of course, Trump is not what you'd call the most precise communicator in the world, but all we can do is work with what he says.

Right, but this tariff, at least as I understand it, is on chips imported as chips, not on products that contain chips. An iPhone will, of course, be subject to some other damn fool tariff, but not this specific one.

Of course, my understanding of this specific tariff may be wrong.

What he means is, if I buy an iPhone built in China, this tariff won't affect the price I pay.

But if I buy a phone built in America, with an imported processer, this tariff will make that phone more expensive.

Naked Prisoners (startrek.website)

Is there an easier way to get clothing for a prisoner than drafting a pawn and having them strip in the cell before walking naked back to the cloths storage?

 

Has anyone here participated in the Fairborn Community Gardens in the past? I'm trying to get an idea of what the "normal" approach is, and what the general expectations are.

 

New to this whole Lemmy platform, but I'm liking it.

One problem I'm having is auto-play videos when I open some discussions. Not in the comments, but the post itself starts playing.

I'll skip my usual rant about what I think should be done to whoever decided to make that a feature, and just ask how to turn it off. I have "auto expand media" unchecked in my lemmy settings.

I appreciate any advice.
