That's the kind of question that is very pertinent in normal times, but that we have no idea what the answer will be tomorrow.

Normally, no, eggs "never" have such a bad distribution and people so willing into getting them that it's worth crossing an ocean by plane to get them.

It's worse.

It's "I'll have you rising my water thank you, but I refuse to concede anything that could help you."

Yes. You can keep eggs for weeks, and airplanes make the trip in a few hours.

And way too large, and way too low.

Handbrake pedals are usually small pedals, away from the others and raised so it's uncomfortable to reach them.

No, one of them is the "don't accelerate" pedal you use to switch gears.

Oh, right, it's because of the tariffs and not because the US immigration is arresting and torturing people at random at the borders...

Everything is because of the tariffs. Tariffs are all that is happening on the US right now, you don't have to look it up.

Yep, I came here to say that Kate is really nice. Even though I'm an emacs user and won't use it.

Nano, on the other hand, can't do almost anything, so I can't recommend that people make heavy use of it. It's ok for random small edits, but that's it. (By the way, YSK that you can set your terminal to use Kate as the default editor by setting the $EDITOR variable.)

and dump you in the jungle

Is that the nickname of the concentration camp in El Salvador?

People not in the US will naturally focus on foreign policy. But people in the US spending all that focus on tariffs when their country has secret police taking people from the streets is like you go to an emergency with a knife on your chest and blood coming out like a fountain, and the doctor is all about "hey, I have some bad news; you have cancer, it can kill you, we must treat it as soon as possible..."

The soda is supposed to be cool when you pour it.

Thanks.

Somehow an entire generation of teachers just decided that magnets don't attract or repel each other.

Those blatantly wrong things that somehow people still insist on teaching are ridiculous.

A few years ago, a jaguar climbed from its habitat in a zoo nearby to try to play with the people around it.

Most people correctly ran away as soon as they saw it, but hte number of people that just stood near the fence, either saying some version of "awww" or trying to film it was staggering.
