They are probably factoring in the weakening USD too.

They aren't going to start making Fujifilm cameras in the US.

Tariffs are used to address systemic unfairness in trade, not because some idiot thinks that having a trade deficit is a bad thing. At best you might get a few new factories where robots do final assembly on some products, and high inflation. Best case.

I hope for America's sake that after Trump there is a big reset and things are put right. But I have little faith that the Democrats will actually do it. The damage may be permanent.

It certainly turned out that way with Brexit.

As long as the price rises are US only, it's fine. You guys pay your winning tariffs, but don't expect the rest of us to subsidize your choices.

Thanks for the detailed info and review. The hard bottoming out is an issue for me, I would need to fix that. I'll look into what the mod entails. Because of arthritis it's difficult to reliably release the key as soon as I feel it engage.

USB C is fine. I tend not use feet anyway.

Do you know if they are going to keep making them, or is this a case of grab it while you can because it might not be coming back any time soon?

Hydrogen does not make a good fuel, tor a tonne of reasons, but nitrogen fuel would be less prone to nasty reactions and fewer problems. Could N6 combustion be controlled at levels suitable for heavy road vehicles or trains?

(Electric trains have their own problems, due to the fact that the junction needs to be poor and the cost of copper is so great that lines need to use far worse conductors to reduce theft.)

Are they any good? Certainly not cheap. I would have got a Unicomp one if they still did Japanese layout. These new Model F ones do have JIS layout, but I've never actually used a Model F keyboard or these, so it's a fair chunk of change for an unknown quantity.

Support for notorious liars like Donald Trump and Boris Johnson seems to skew older. Boomers and early Gen X. A lot of them seem to be getting their information from Facebook, and shitting on information that is credible.

It's not the wasps, it's whatever irradiated them. Clearly it is accumulating.

No it isn't. A banana poses little risk. You can choose to eat it, and your body will make sure the potassium doesn't harm you. Some unknown element in the environment, however... A lot of the stuff that gets emitted from nuclear plants can be quite nasty if it gets inside you, or even on you.

Clearly there is some escape of radioactive martial.

But as has been pointed out numerous times here, the banana scale is flawed because your body regulates the amount of potassium it absorbs, and keeps it away from areas where it could do damage. That's very, very different from something in the environment causing a random wasps nest to experience this amount of exposure.

Because home owners are more sensitive to up front costs. You can see it with lightbulbs. When LEDs first appeared and were expensive, consumers baulked at the idea of a 30 year bulb that cost 5x as much, but businesses could see the long term cost saving from the lower power consumption and reduced maintenance.

Since we're not taking about infinitesimals, I fail to see the relevance.

Yeah. I think the most likely outcome is that we see sodium used for some applications where a business looks at the cost over the long term, maintenance, that kind of thing. For home batteries people will be buying mostly B grade or used cells. B grade are already cheap and completely fine for that application, and reuse of used cells is ramping up.

Eventually, not today. Maybe not ever, it depends if the economies of scale are enough. A lot of tech has failed to catch on simply because lithium batteries got so cheap so fast.
