This is not a response to mod comment (other than to be more specific with my point), and not political. There is a basic issue where trade around basic manufacturing is tilted too far to one country. And with AI quite potentially biting into service jobs like programming, a more pure service...

I am Canadian and moved to the USA as an adult and eventually became a US Citizen. I lived in Asia twice (China for the longest). I travelled and worked in the UK and central Europe and I speak French well. Blanket statements about how much the USA was liked and trusted are at best wishful...

There are more than a few lawsuits challenging the tariffs, and there were in the past before. They have not gained much traction yet and for the most part the courts have deferred to Congress which granted the President the powers being exercised. Congress does have the ability to end them if...

Montreal is my home city (and actually was back there very recently and got to see the Habs win at the Centre Bell on a Saturday night so I am even more fond of it now). Quebecor is a well established and large printing company and I have had businesses use them for printing but not for books...

Original art I picked up at GaryCon.

I now have all three of the new books but I am not changing in my active 5e campaign and I am playing another system (Cyberpunk Red) in the other weekly game I run. I don't think I am likely to run much 5e in general once the currect Phandelver and Beyond game I am running ends.

I don’t use the 2024 rules and have no intention to use them for a while and I paid a lot of money for the 2014 content. I was quite annoyed at their original plan and am happy that they backed down. There are exactly 2 new books and many many more of the old ones. Maybe in 3 or 4 years they...

I am not a huge X.com user, but it seems to me that the people that I found interrupted discussions on RPG for too many causes were the first to leave. In many cases I even supported their view on whatever cause they espoused but it seemed that the RPG discussions were dragged to the cause...

PG&E did not require that. I just registered for the EV rate (cheaper after 11 PM to 3 PM and on weekends) and the invoice for the charger. It is not like I am going to use the charger for anything but an EV ... My solar and battery combination has kept my bill below $20 (was often $800+) plus...

Lexus CT200h or the new UX. Or a Prius. Toyota still has the best hybrid system. The 300h just an example of a full sized sedan with great mileage.

I have been driving my Lexus Hybrid 300h for quite a while (2nd one of that model) and it gets great mileage. Prius are still available and Lexus has an upscale version of it.

On a few of the topics here. EV chargers are fine in places with reasonable density. Driving around the SF Bay Area where I live, there are plenty. It really breaks down out of those areas. I drove to KC from LA when younger and there is no way there will sufficient charging to drive across...
