You are correct. I know it is a tax that will be paid by us. These will probably collapse the US economy. I give it 8 months. Then another 6 to start wiping out the rest of the worldwide markets. Maybe two years before we become a warring shithole with nukes.

We have always been at war with East Asia.

They sold out because there weren’t any. UFD tech waited in line at micro center, until they found out how few were available. I believe Steve has a video on calling it a paper launch. The alternative is to buy 4080’s and even 3080’s, until the price becomes too high on used and older GPUs. We saw that happen during covid. Yes, Nvidia makes all kinds of chips, GPUs and especially high end ones are a very small part. A very large and growing segment of Nvidea is also vehicles, which in America is now tariffed on Mexican and Canadian production an additional 25%. Almost all portable electronics have chips from Taiwan or China in them. We are already in a trade war with China, so now we are staring one with the alternative? OpenAI can move to Vancouver all they want, but I bet the 25% tariffs from there will hurt also. Plus, If AI firms don’t need as many of the AI chips, as recently shown, then that market goes down. Google makes their own server chips with cpus produced in… Taiwan.

These tariffs, if not removed, will crash the US economy and possibly the global economy with it. Good luck everyone! or as POTUS says " Jesus didn’t need electricity".

Remember, the tariff is 25-100%. Let’s just say it ends up at 50%. How many gamers will pay 3k for a 5090? It is a mediocre upgrade this generation anyway. Also, both AMD and Intel GPUs are made in Taiwan (TSMC). Nvidia’s profits lately have been coming via ai chips. The Chinese just showed us that those aren’t needed. Jensen and his cousin at AMD are 2 of the smartest CEOs in the country, they know that tariffs like this will crash demand, give China an opening, and possibly wreck the US economy.

Canada and Mexico should work together and add a 25% export fee to oil. I wonder how long these idiots stay in power if gas is $7 or more a gallon.

I am pretty sure you can remove “federal prisons” from that title. They won’t stop until they kill/deport/force to leave, anyone who is an “other” to them.

I’m am pretty sure Trump was thinking that Obama hired Gimmly, and all he does is smash the console with an axe. Happens when half the country looks at Trump and thinks, " Oh ya, this guy is stable enough to run the country"

Hmmm. Sounds like if California can’t get aid from the federal government, then they will just have to use their own money. I would suggest the comptroller to order all federal tax money in the state sent to Sacramento for use as disaster relief. They can’t prosecute 40 million people not paying taxes.

Great, now I have the theme to “Westworld” stuck in my head.

And for God’s sake, don’t mention cake.

Good news. I hope Marvel has learned that we don’t want poorly written, extended 6 hour movie that are cut up into “episodes” That has been the downfall of most of the Disney+ series so far, they just feel like a movie that has not been edited down to a watchable time. The Netflix Daredevil at least felt like a proper series with character development and a story to tell.

Oh, look, more war crimes from Russia.

It was an insurrection in 1861, and an insurrection in 2021.

The answer is zero. I went to a school like this on the west coast, the same graduating year. We did have a black foreign exchange student, at least one year. To be fair, Nikki’s father taught at Voorheers college (a historically black institution), and her mom taught at a public school. Her mom started a boutique woman’s clothing store that Nikki worked in.

Thank you for posting it. I completely forgot to grab the archive link.

The Great train Robbery. https://w.wiki/84uK several books, movies out of this one. They lifted £58 million in today’s money.

I thought the same, that even Fox dropped it. Then my family sent me this: https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/navy-seal-wives-battle-woke-public-library-war-christmas-fight-kids-religious-liberty They are pissed, because they know I donate to TST. The type of Christians we were growing up has been subverted to some type of fundamentalism with Maga neo-fascism thrown in.

WE HAVE A DEAL!!

Probably closer to Kurt Russell https://youtu.be/4oeW9sflsdg?si=uXJGtUDE9f8a_ARk
