Plus of course the problem that chip manufacturing is not a US traditional industry, so there probably isn't that much skilled labor.

Ironically they're probably going to end up having to hire foreign nationals.

I want it in audiobook format. Read by Will Wheaton.

The important won't eat the costs because there's literally no reason for them to do that.

The tariffs don't actually upset shipping companies, they literally do not care. They continue to sell the product at exactly the same prices it always cost, once it arrives in a US port, that's the end of the transaction as far as they are concerned, since the tariffs apply after that, they are irrelevant.

Every time somebody says this it always makes me think of the scientist from the expanse.

We should definitely release those files it would be really helpful.

I still have a Texas instrument scientific calculator. I have never found a calculator app that I like better.

Put of course I was actually allowed to bring it into an exam which would definitely not possible with a phone.

It's like how they put the word gate after something to say that it is a scandal involving the former word.

Somesort of political scandal involving road maintenance? Oh yes well that's roadgate then. Even though the Watergate scandal was in fact it scandal in the watergate hotel, rather than a scandal about water.

I guess water is cheep enough.

Still kinda obnoxious though. Like they couldn't see that the ultra high water usage was the thing that would get the most pushback from?

Oh, oh that's not on at all. He isn't that guy from Castle.

He's that guy from Firefly. His most acclaimed show, that went on for years (don't check).

It's a universal trait of the right. You have not lived a full life until a Pakistani taxi driver in London tells you how there are too many immigrants in London.

I don't understand why they even need to use up water. Water cooling does not require you to evaporate the water. You can just keep it as a closed system and reuse the water.

If nuclear power plants can manage it which would be easy for a server farm

My sister is pregnant and she keeps texting me baby names.

I've tried telling her that it's perfectly acceptable to have a boring name. She has a boring name, I don't have a boring name I have a unique name, and I really wish I had a boring name.

Ultimately though you can stay safe by not naming any kid after a TV series character when the series has not yet completed, I.e. Khaleesi and ensuring the name is spelt in the normal manner, and not something like Kylie but spelt Kailee
