Yep, it's going to make everything more expensive
  • The tariffs only increase US worker wages if they are significant enough to promote domestic manufacturing. If we still can't produce the widget at home for the same or less expensively, then all we've done is create a federal sales tax on Chinese goods.

  • Posting the shopping cart theory because people had questions in a separate thread
  • I think most parents get their kids in the car first because kids hanging around in the parking lot with cars pulling in and out is hazardous and kids can be dumb. Hard to keep an eye on them while you're unloading things so you put them in first. Then of course if it's warm out the car is hot and kids will be complaining so the parent starts the car to get the AC going while they secure the kids and then unload the groceries. Once done of course they have to decide... walk away from the running car with your kids inside and put the cart away, or not. I can understand why sometimes they dont.

  • Taking a shower every day is excessive.
  • Agreed. When I was younger I had very oily skin. Skipping a day without showering I realize I was much hotter and generally irritable. I needed to get the oil off me to stay cooler and happy.

    Now I'm older and much less oily. I can skip and don't get stinky or hot. Even working out I don't really get stinky, at least per my wife. Not the case when I was young.

  • Should anyone be suprised?
  • The fact is she either wins the election or it won't matter what she thinks. The administration cannot take a anti-Netanyahu/pro-Palestinian position right now without losing Jewish support, both voters and donors. I suspect post-election we'll see Biden & Kamala suddenly become much more vocal against what Israel is doing.

  • obesity
  • I wonder if those prior medical terms had precise definitions. Obese is BMI >= 30 and morbidly obese is >= 40. BMI itself has some issues but works ok as a general assessment for most people.

  • Families seek answers after inmates' bodies returned without internal organs
  • If it's for medical student use, I'm not sure I'd say it was worse. I'm more apt to believe the deaths aren't suspect if this is the case, versus the organs being used in transplants. There's a lot of money and motive for corruption with transplants. But it's also probably an easy jump from harvesting organs without consent to give to med schools to them doing it for money and transplants. It's all bad.

  • LAPD warns residents after spike in burglaries using Wi-Fi jammers that disable security cameras, smart doorbells
  • Jammer also keeps people from getting a notification that someone has come into view on the camera. An away homeowner who sees a person coming through their front door can call the police. With no notification you don't know until you get home and they're long gone.

  • RDP questions from a newb

    Worked with linux servers plenty with a development job but new to running at home and using a desktop interface. I'm using RDP to access the machine and have run into a few issues I'm not sure how to solve.

    First, I'm using Mate and I've noticed issues with have the panel/task bar disappearing. When the machine first boots my user account is logged in and if I then RDP into the machine, the panel doesn't show. If I go to the machine physically and logout, then when I RDP in I can see the panel, but that's a hassle. Seems only one instance of the panel with run. Do I need to create a different user to use with RDP to avoid this? Other options?

    Second, physically working on the machine I can go into the network settings and make changes. However when I RDP into the machine - using the same user account - the widget to let me see and edit the details of the network interface is disabled. Why is it that a physical session seems to have sudo access through the UI but an RDP session doesn't? Can I change this too?
