Losing it at this example from my wife’s textbook:

At the risk of being political, what if we put them both in a rocket, and shoot it into the sun? 👬🚀🌞

My kiddo loves Deltarune, and watching her impatiently count down to 3/4 and dive in the moment it became available warms my nerdy little heart.

Luke Sleeping - May 25 2025

I think Luke’s sleeping poses could be used in a whole new generation of AI-bot-detection. Because as a human it takes me a minute to recognize that he’s a cat sometimes.

So dramatic. It needs an alert for “Mo got wedged trying to burrow under the couch like a ferret.”

Stare into the infinite spiral of Luke.

High tariffs become 'real' with our first $36K bill

We're no stranger to tariff bills, although they have definitely ramped up over the last two months. However, this is our first 'big bill', where a large portion was subjected to a 125%+20%+25% import markup. Unlike other taxes like sales tax where we collect on behalf of the state and then submit it back at the end of the month, or income taxes, where we only pay if we are profitable, tariff taxes are paid before we sell any of the products and are due within a week of receipt which has a big impact on cash flow.

In this particular case, we're buying from a vendor, not a factory, so we can't second-source the items (and these particular products we couldn't manufacture ourselves even if we wanted to, since the vendor has well-deserved IP protections). And the products were booked & manufactured many months ago, before the tariffs were in place. Since they are electronics products/components, there's a chance we may be able to request reclassification on some items to avoid the 125% 'reciprocal' tariff, but there's no assurance that it will succeed, and even if it does, it is many, many months until we could see a refund.

We'll have to increase the prices on some of these products, but we're not sure if people will be willing to pay the higher cost, so we may well be 'stuck' with unsellable inventory that we have already paid a large fee on.

I imagine this is a lot like how prehistoric man felt right before he is killed by a ferocious sabre tooth tiger.

Squirrels are cat-adjacent right? Here’s one proving that by playing on the rope swing in our backyard.
