Two-thirds of Americans think Trump tariffs will lead to higher prices, poll says
  • While I too want more people to participate, I think we should also recognize that choosing not to vote is protected speech. That's probably not why people don't vote, so we should probably find other ways to encourage voting (holiday, more access to polls, etc.) Unfortunately, some repulsive people prefer it when fewer people vote.

  • question(s) about etiquette in MMORPGs
  • Give all of those things a try. None of them are "wrong". Experiment and see what works best with the type of people you want to spend time with. Just don't get discouraged if your success rate is low (some people just won't be interested) and respect people's decisions if they choose to ignore you.

  • How many Nintendo Switches do I need for a family of gamers?
  • Since it sounds like you are just getting into this, it may be helpful to know that Nintendo has confirmed that there will be a 2nd version of the device and it is likely to have full backwards compatibility (meaning it will play all of the games from version 1).

    The release dates for this device are likely to be announced soon.

    So if you can wait, you could either get the newest version or you could get the current version for a big discount.

  • Killing taxes on tips sounds good, but experts say it doesn’t solve the real problem
  • Specifically voting yes on that question.

    You may have seen many restaurants putting out signs saying to vote no. That was done by management and front of house staff because they don't want to pay their employees at the minimum wage and they don't want to share their tips with back of the house staff (who also deserve the tips as much as FOH).

  • Easy veggie soup suggestions?
  • Canned beans: Healthy, filling, cheap, and convenient

    Beans, broth, and salt wouldn't be amazing, but it could get you through a few meals. Add some black pepper and it might actually be pretty good.

    Add carrots (frozen or fresh), onion, celery to step it up a notch.

  • Trump Media shares halted repeatedly as DJT turns negative in volatile trading
  • It's a bad headline, means negative for the day.

    Although commodity futures can go negative in unusual situations. During the pandemic, oil prices went negative because demand was low and production was still high, so the cost of storing it was driving the price down. The fact that it went negative was mostly due to speculators though.

  • We needed an entryway stuff shelf and this was the least bad location for one
  • Don't over think the finish if this is just a functional piece.

    Get a can of wipe on, water based polyurethane (any big box store). You could also prime and paint it (just like a wall). Either way, be aware of the fumes, so work in the garage if you can.

    For a face frame, you could just use some strips of clear pine, about 1" wide, 1/2" thick each. Glue and nail the wide face onto the edge of the plywood all around the front (keeping the top edge flush to the top surface of the shelf).

  • We needed an entryway stuff shelf and this was the least bad location for one
  • I can't tell if it is finished or not, but it looks like it will hold shoes or boots. If that's the plan, then you'll definitely want some sort of protection on it. Even a coat of fast drying polyurethane will help it last longer and be easier to clean.

    You might also throw on a face frame, which would help prevent the front edge from sagging over time.

  • Factorio: Space Age is here!
  • You should be able to select the version of the game that you want. Right click, manage,... ??? I forgot the rest but it's fairly obvious from what I remember. You can just pick the most stable build of 1.## from the drop down.

  • Cards Against Humanity continue to bring good into the world
  • They were very careful in how they worded the request. They are not asking for people to change their voting behavior, only to create a plan, and to make some public statements.

    Obviously, the latter part is fine but the voting plan doesn't require that someone actually change their behavior. They are definitely skirting the line, but I'm sure they had the help of a lawyer when they made this.

  • You made us do this Ubisoft
  • I think this is why they usually go after the people distributing the data for copywriter infringement, and not the people who use the data.

    It may not be stealing, but it definitely is copywriter infringement.

  • New analysis suggests national debt could increase under Harris, but it would surge under Trump
  • Going into debt is how they "print" money. Those are the same thing. Having debt isn't necessarily a bad thing though, but creating too much money can increase inflation. If not handled carefully it would collapse the economy as you elide over.

  • Three Mile Island owner seeks $1.6 billion federal loan to restart nuclear plant for Microsoft AI facility
  • Market cap doesn't say how much cash they have available. For that, look at cash on hand which publicaly traded companies need to report

    MS has about 75B cash on hand, so they could afford this themselves. They will probably argue that it will bring jobs and expertise to the state. Also, it's a loan, so the interest will generate funding for the state as well. nevermind, not a loan from the state, so no interest would go to the state.

  • 'That '90s Show' Canceled on Netflix After 2 Seasons
  • There was 22 years between the first air date of that 70s show (98) and the year it was set in (76).

    There was a 28 year difference for that 90s show. I never watched that 90s show, but I'm guessing the reason for its limited success has more to do with the quality and the nature of the current streaming environment than the setting.
