a lot of savings

Savings for who? If nothing is changed and manufacturers (and retailers) doesn’t make any kind of commercial gesture, the only ones paying more are the American consumers.

So moving the manufacture would be a saving for every Joe and Jane in the US, not Nintendo nor the ROTW.

Not moving the manufacture might be a loss of % in their US consumer base as prices will be too high there, but is it big enough to justify the enormous costs needed to move an entire industry workflow?

I don’t think so, specially when there is so many instability in the US politic, if you move to an other country at great cost and 2 weeks later a new tariff is declared (because why not), you moved everything for no reason but still lost your investment.

My belief is that no industry nor country will adapt, they will just increase the US market prices and keep on living like before with the ROTW. The only ones to suffer will be the American citizens and I’m sorry for them, but there is an all planet to trade with.

That would cost them enormous amounts of cash and hours of work just for one market.

There’s no point, the best option is just to ignore the US and let them pay more than the rest of the world, even if that means fewer sales.

Non-spoilery review: It’s cool.

I kinda like all AC games but I also really enjoy this one. I love playing a stealth assassin and Naoe (the Japanese girl) perfectly fit that gameplay as she is not made for frontal assault.

The other character is also nice to sometimes have a one man army, if you want to disconnect your brain and just go head on an enemy group, it is a welcome change of pace when you want that.

Ubi’s Open World are graphic wonders as always but this one is a step above. I am really used to 4K HDR gaming and this game is probably the best looking one I have on my PC.

As a side note, I took a Ubi+ for one month to play it and will buy the game when there is a discount.

Zero as well. Damn we’re old 👴

Scent-ore

Simply “englishified” from French where I’ve ever heard only one way, Centaur (100 tor).

I’ve seen two times in my life couples walking on the street with the husband holding is hand around the woman neck like that.

I told friends and they didn’t believe some people could do that. Later during the year we saw another couple walking the same way.

I really don’t understand, like you said, it gives me the creeps.

Pet me like one of your French girls or else I will take all your food and money.

Maintenance day is when I log into my server once every 3 month because I forgot it (as everything is working fine).

But I just discovered OpenSuse microOS, while looking at the docs for my laptop Thumbleweed, and now I want to try it with no real reasons. Maybe it is just an excuse to buy a new Raspberry pi.

Also, air traffic controller here with most of my mates being airliners pilots.

We are all tired and alcoholic, it’s even worse among the ground staff at airports.

Good luck on your next holiday 😘

From memory cause I haven’t smoke in 20 years, it’s mostly about filter.

Cigarette have industrial made filters that are solid and doesn’t heat that much.

Joint have hand made filters generally made with a bit of rolled cardboard or the tip of a cigarette (opposite side from the filter). Both makes the joint less sturdy than a cigarette, the filter is less wide and the heat is more easily transferred.

When you hold it like a cigarette between your index and middle finger it touches your fingers where the skin is the thinnest, so it burns you more easily, specially when you are close to the end of smoking.

Then there’s maybe a psychological side, cannabis is illegal or frowned upon in many places, so hiding your joint inside your palm makes it less noticeable (except for the smell of course, I didn’t say it was logical).

They opened 64bits servers instead of the older 32bits (that’ll stay open).

I don’t think I’ll transfer my account this time and just let it disappear and die one day.

Bonjour, yes it is. It’s 11am now so still way before the “Bonsoir” time which don’t really have an official time (it’s when it’s dark and we don’t have a good afternoon equivalent).

Ah a fellow 4h30 early bird!

Damn, how are you so right?

Musk calling Wozniak a loser on shitter in 3, 2, 1…

Some do, full flaps and uncomfortable high pitch (well, no flaps in that picture as it is a Mirage).

Of course there are probably certain types of jets that cannot fly below 150kt and it’s not like actual fighters capabilities are advertised on internet. I only know that Rafale is said to go “below 120kt” with 16 degrees pitch up in 15 tons configuration, FA-18 is something like 135kt at pitch 30 ! (I’d love to see a picture of that)

Yeah, I’m happy to have my daily Sandy news.

I liked the Las Vegas TV series from 2005.

Probably full of stereotypes but I was young at the time and really enjoyed seing the work done by the Montecito security team. Also, plenty of beautiful ladies making teenager me happy.

We know it wasn’t in the US otherwise they would have felt threatened and shot you.

Sorry it happened to you.
