I find it funny than instead of at least imposing 10% tariff by default on Russia and selectively exempt critical resources. Russian wasn't listed at all.

Even an unoccupied island got 10% tariff by default.

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.

How's the battery life? I have the first gen and it keep crashing and battery drained down so fast.

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.

Maybe they just ran out of any other missiles.

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.

 

Anyone play in the Early Access? How's the experience?

Any server issues?

 

One thing I dislike about this game it that Arthra gauge generates so slowly and depleted too easy that I rarely use a surge.

Then I beat the game today with 90+% completion, then went back to collect things just to realize that there's a charm that generates the gauge when attack.

Damn, feels like I played the game wrong, because this made fighting bosses tedious.

 

Found a dungeon full of knights and clerics last night. What's the lore behind them?

From some in game notes, it looks like they are a legion of deserters, but they also have those penitent knights. I doubt that knights who are zealous enough to put on those dreadnaughts would desert the church.

I'm looking for an external monitor for both programming and gaming. Currently, I'm using a 1080p monitor, but I'm tired of turning my head between the macbook and the monitor when I have to deal with 3+ windows.

So, I think a 2K monitor would be a nice improvement for my QoL, wouldn't hurt my GPU too much compared to a 4k monitor. Any suggestion or should I scrub the idea?

 

I just learned about #no estimate movement and am curious how it's in real life.

 

Whenever a fast paced action game like Devil May Cry, Prodeus, HiFi Rush or Doom have a grading system then I would feel like not continuing them as if some one is judging my performance, instead of a bar to get better.

It's weird that this feeling never happens in a game like Hitman or Overcooked. I view them as challenges, but not grading like in DMC.

 

Imo, Compared with Storm Gate, ZeroSpace look more geared towards SC2 fans compared to SG that is more WC3 with trees that serve as removable obstacles.

 

I'm trying out Trillium Note and prefering it over Obsidian. I wonder if there's a community anywhere on Lemmy.

I like to learn some tip and tricks.
