"David French, the National Retail Federation’s executive vice president of government relations, said in a statement on Friday that “binding trade agreements that truly open markets by lowering tariffs, not raising them,” should be the administration’s goal.
NRF warned that the “direct result of tariffs will be higher prices, decreased hiring, fewer capital expenditures and slower innovation.”

I get so angry that we can’t even insist on masking in hospitals.
In some areas, there’s LESS masking in medical settings than pre-COVID. Even modern hospitals with great ventilation can’t stop transmission entirely, with the current COVID viral loads; and neither COVID, flu, nor the common cold is going to improve the recovery of the people in this pre-surgery waiting room.
They have the rest of the world for denial: let us have rationality in medical settings!

in EVERY medical environment, you can request reasonable, safe accommodation, and managers of medical systems(MDs, directors, execs) must make sure their staff put efforts into this.
We have run into this.... in a remote cowtown city's medical systems, and we have fought them and so far we have succeeded. Masking occurred at the vast majority of our visits, we found 100% COVID safe dentists, and we push on this every time we visit.
I don't think a racial taxon is useless. all subgroups of homo sapiens evolved. they are neither good nor bad, simply a fact.

How do i set up arch linux, with another distro already installed, without wiping the disk?
Things a good dad should do for their kids (non-comprehensive list):
-cultivate in them a sense of humor
-teach them how to see through BS
-but also teach them how to respect those who deserve respect
-teach them to be skeptical without being hopelessly cynical
-help them learn to enjoy different types of foods, music, books
-teach them to be aware of their surroundings
-teach them Abraham Lincoln was an evil bastard
-teach them how to behave in public
-give them a work ethic
What else?
Yes. Also, teach them to never be ashamed of who they are and where they came from, and that anyone who wants them to apologize for their heritage should be identified as an enemy.

Both of my parents have been gone for over a decade now, and both were very clear that they didn’t want a grave marker or other “pointless” memorial.
I understand and support their choice, and of course honored their wishes. But it always bothered me a little that I have no place to “visit” to remember them.
I got the idea recently to sponsor benches in parks that we frequented. I think they’d approve.
If you happen by one, take a moment to relax on their behalf.

minced it down using a knife down as small as i had patience for, smaller than ground
soak it in a tablespoon of fish sauce
after like 30 minutes of soaking fry it real high in a wok let it sit 30 seconds before stirring so it gets browned well on one side
when it's like 80% cooked throw in sliced peppers bird chiles and garlic
when it's 100% done throw in a fistful of thai basil, turn down heat and stir until its wilted, then soak down with a sauce of more fish sauce and some soy sauce
serve with jasmine rice
if you want the egg wipe out the wok while its hot, add more oil and basically deep fat fry a sunny side up egg while throwing hot oil onto the yolk until the edges of the white are browned and the yolk isn't quite set yet

if you use GrapheneOS on a pixel device, is it something you'd recommend for a privacy worried user? How seamless is running it after install?
I own 2 bloated proprietary devices and don't use them for anything important, like banking or dealing with authorities. I also don't trust the manufactures not selling my data.
Id like to have a working device with no bloatware and completely degoogled. Ironically I'd have to buy something made by google to run GrapheneOS on it. Intended use would be to use as a camera, to run CoMaps on it, pkpass files with foss-wallet, reading epubs, making phone calls and running one aurora app.
I don't need the device to play games, watch movies, show off or to play loud music, but I'd like a jack port for my headphones (I assume google headphones would cease to work if I degoogle the device, nor would I want to spend more than necessary enriching that data grabber even more.
Is there a pixel device with a jack port?
Are batteries inside pixel devices glued to the frame or can they be easy to change?
My main OS is debian. How easy is to transfer data from GrapheneOS to debian and the other way round?
Overall if you run GrapheneOS on a pixel, how many years running it and what do you think about it?
- Buy second-hand or discounted old stock from a reseller to minimize your contribution to Google.
- Unless one of the apps you are forced to use requires Google Play Integrity, GrapheneOS will be compatible with any Android app, even providing sandboxed Google Play services if needed.
- For apps so invasive as to require Play Integrity, you might be better off leaving them on a secondary phone with stock Android and powered off when not in use.
- The Pixel 5a is the last Pixel device with a headphone jack, but no longer receives GrapheneOS updates. You may want to consider USB-C headsets, which are usually also compatible with computers, and require no extra dongles.
- If the Google headphones work over Bluetooth, they will also work with GrapheneOS. No experience with Google headphones, but I only missed out on customizable shortcuts and device renaming when I opted not to install the companion app for my earbuds.
- Everybody warns against using out-of-date GrapheneOS devices, but that's not very satisfying. Yes, they will have open vulnerabilities. But as long as you install apps from reputable sources, the chance of being attacked via outdated Android is very low, provided you are not being targeted by an agency.
- That said, grab a more recent Pixel if you can for security updates into the 2030s.
- All Pixel devices have enclosed batteries, most are quite frustrating to remove, particularly the 9a. There's a decent chance of breaking the screen if it has to be removed in the battery replacement process. Won't recommend it, but I have considered buying one with a bloated battery just so the adhesives are already removed for me.
- Transferring files to and from any Linux distro works just fine, as with any Android device, bearing quirks of the mtp protocol in mind. LocalSend can be used for wireless file transfer. rsync requires a workaround.
- I've used GrapheneOS for the past 4-ish years. I'll admit I had a head start since my workflow wasn't too smartphone-dependent in the first place and I had already begun pulling myself out from Apple and Google services back then. Everything just works and I would never look back.

Keep running the air filters and check your masks, #TwinCities.
Since I saw some people doing an outdoor sports match today, with no masks in evidence. That was not a good idea.
Sometimes you have to move around a bit to get the angles *just* right, while holding the camera above your head to compose the shot using the rear screen, but the payoff is worth it. This web was almost invisible from any other angle, but from *this* angle it sprang into existence and practically glowed.
(Cross-posted from my site, where there are more photos: andrewflenniken.com/2025/08/01…)
And then there’s backlighting. I’m a fiend for it, when the object lets some of the light through and *especially* when it is otherwise surrounded by dark. Inject that chiaroscuro directly into my veins.
