- Comment on Smartphones and computers are now exempt from Trump’s latest tariffs. 1 week ago:
Based on the CSMS statement elseware in the thread and my limited google-fu, it looks like swicth one was 9504.50, which isn’t on the list of exemptions.
That said, I wouldn’t be too surprised if Nintendo figured out a few tweaks in the feature list that would allow them to claim it as one of the exempted categories.

I would say it’s probably a lot less than ten thousand - I doubt this is something “everybody knows”

I assume they were originally made from natural rubber, but nowadays are primarily made of vinyl and the like.

This is not a shitpost.
- Comment on Check your DVDs for disc rot — Warner Bros. says it’s replacing them 1 month ago:
Apparently there’s some huge drama in data hoarding communities about manufacturers switching between different recording technologies, and how everybody is worried that they aren’t going to last for 5-10-100-1000 years.

- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 1 month ago:
You could take the interpretation of “ownership” to many ridiculous conclusions, from “all ownership is theft” to “nothing is owned” to “all governent is crime” to “all taxation is theft” etc…
From a practical standpoint, “ownership” is an arbitrary threshold of exclusivity that is generally respected by society under appropriate conditions. Where that threshold and what the conditions are will vary by the type of property and general social sensibilities.

- Comment on xkcd #3001: Temperature Scales 5 months ago:
After joking about this at work, I landed on the most cursed scale I could think of… pT = log10 FPW.
Pros: no bottom to scale, increasing negative values asymptotically approach absolute zero. Water freezes at zero.
1 pT is almost exactly the melting point of iridium. Lightning bolts are around 2 pT. Boiling points of neon and helium are in the neighborhood of -1 and -2.
