Smartphones and computers are now exempt from Trump’s latest tariffs Did Trump blink again?

I agree with Artisi. The PVC gutters would be a lot easier. The only problem I see with the pipe is if just screwed to the soffit, over time they might sag.

Also since our faces are not symmetric, we believe the image in the mirror is how the world views us. I guess you could test this by holding a photo of yourself up to the mirror to see if the image looks better.

You must not have read the post I was answering to. I have followed Trump (not by choice) and his antics for what must be over 40 years now. There isn't much he could do that would surprise me.

OK, here you go https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIHkxpUz2dI/ No one ignored it!

I don't know how they can give a time. I have been to places where four delivery boys are waiting in line for their orders while the staff is still trying to serve walk-ins.

"We're not looking at pause in tariffs," Trump says. That was just 2 days before he did.

Silly question. The ones who knew he was going to do it.

The trees I had pruned exactly a year ago are already 2 meters higher. That tree in the original post is pretty bad though.

I still have a wood-fired cook stove!

Ah, the attack without an answer!

Neither scenario looks good for him. He either blinked or committed fraud or maybe both. Either way, the world is learning that this administration can't be trusted to lead the economy of the world. Adding to that, they tore up a deal that they themselves made with Canada and Mexico, his calling to make Canada the 51st state and not ruling out taking Greenland and the Panama Canal by force. What gives anyone a reason to not to look at the US with suspicion.

Back on topic. I put this out in another thread but I am going to post it again. I understand what Trump is trying to do. (well, as well as anyone who thinks he knows). I don't agree with his method. This is a good talk on the subject, but for those who don't have the time to listen to it all, start at the 13 min mark.

Oh, we can pick and choose?

If you are an high ranking prisoner in a prisoner of war camp and a low-ranking guard treats you badly, you can't resent them? You are confusing someone who has power over you as superior. Trump may have the power, that does not make him superior.

This month I am trying textPlus to call the US as I want to have a dedicated US local phone number. I have used it calling the US, seems to work fine but it is a bit slow making the connection. I think you need to have your VPN set to a US server. It is about $5 a month if you pay monthly, but a whole lot cheaper if you pay for 6 or 12 months which also locks in your phone number. It may work for other countries too-- I didn't check. I want to add that I haven't had anyone call me with this number yet---- maybe this evening. Also it is an Android app

This thread needs some mood music

Just adding to that from https://www.reuters.com/world/china-hits-back-us-tariffs-with-rare-earth-export-controls-2025-04-04/ "China made that list strategically," said Mel Sanderson, a director at American , opens new tab, which is building a Wyoming rare earths mine it hopes to open by 2029, and co-chair of the Critical Minerals Institute trade group. "They picked the things that are crucial for the U.S. economy."

Here I think is a good talk that both sides could learn from.

Trump, Vance, and both Trump's economic advisors have stated they want a weaker US dollar. How do you think that will affect your SS and COLA.

Maybe good idea in theory, but bad plan in action.

You have to remember that those early people only lived into their 30s. Not long enough to feel the effects of eating all that meat, or did they?🤔

It's a bit hard to miss that arrow, but the truck should have been farther behind it.
