    Rewatched the last two episodes of Season 1 - ready for Season 2.

    SIAP... There are a lot of season summaries on YouTube. Any recommendations regarding the best one? 

    My plan is to watch the summary and then the last two episodes of season 1 (as previously mentioned) 

  2. Really enjoyed the movie.... I've been thinking about elements of it for the entire day (just watched it last night).

    I described it to someone today as an Amazing, A+, hour and forty five minute movie with about 35 minutes of several other good (but lesser) movies interspersed throughout. Those other elements/scenes were good, and may have been a part of a really great movies too, but they felt out of place within this larger story.

    Amazing soundtrack. Best movie I've seen this year. But could have been tighter/better.

    the time has come, the Walrus said, to talk of many things: of shoes and ships and sealing-wax, of cabbages and kings, and why the sea is boiling hot and whether pigs have wings.

    Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I'd still have to bum rides off people.

    "I'm Brisketexan.  I'm not a customs agent....but I play one on Surly."

    Seriously, I have little fucking idea as to the details of exactly when/how a tariff is applied, if it's FOB delivery, etc.  

    Gotcha... Sorry for the confusion. I copied and replied to your post since that was what spurred my questions. I figured the Surly hivemind would have the insight. 

    This whole thing is beyond stupid... "Elect an asshole, expect a lot of shit" I guess

    This too. My wife related that the solo manicurist she uses is fucked - her products largely come from China, because that’s who makes such things. So, 1) she’ll have to raise her prices a LOT, and 2) as shit goes south, people will cut back on “unnecessary expenses.” This shit is going to wreck her business.
    Multiply that by literally hundreds of thousands of businesses nationwide. But fuck those people, they don’t count or matter to this admin, because they’re not billionaire oligarchs.

    Sorry if these are stupid questions... 

    If something was ordered and paid for from China in mid March, but hasn't shipped yet, what is the tarrifs on it (and when would that be calculated)? 

    Is it the tarrif rate at time of purchase? At time of shipping? At time of receipt at the port? And if the rates keep fluctuating, would someone be able to leave a product at the port until the rates dropped again before picking it up (and paying the new rate)? 

    Another question... Is there a price threshold for tarrifs? It looks like the de minimus rate of $800 goes away on May 2... So small ticket items received (? Shipped?) by then wouldn't have the tarrif applied?

    Facilitate and effectuate  in context mean all deliberate speed, which means nothing 

    Nothing but feculence from SCOTUS lately...

    The optics and the big picture for Whitmer are appalling.

    Well, at least now I can go back to my long-held practice of not giving a damn for the whole state of Michigan.

    Fried bologna or Underwoods deviled ham sandwiches for lunch.

    We had "ham salad" from the local grocery store... Discovered later that it was ground bologna and mayo/relish.

    Never had new clothes early on. Always hand me downs from my older cousin

    Mine were from older kids in our church... Can still remember the shame of wearing my nicest outfit for Easter Sunday only to remember who'd worn it the previous year

    If we really want to make this visible, people need to be in South Florida impeding Trump's access to golf courses.   If he had to sit in the Beast  beacuse the roads were blocked with tens of thousands of protesters it would make the news and it would rattle him.   Then, do it when he's on the way to Air Force Once for the ride back to D.C.   Ring the White House perimeter with thousands and make him remember what the Lafayette Square protests looked like

    I've thought for a while that citizens should have surrounded and blocked entry to the offices DOGE was targeting, led by Democratic congress persons. But instead, we got politicians showing up to ask questions, being told to leave by rent a cops, and leaving.
