High school I said. Since I've been working, I usually take an hour and no manager has given me grief for it.

Elementary had 2 recesses, 10ish and 2ish. 1 hour for lunch, pretty easy. High school was one lunch period, 50 mins.

And a pause on tariffs

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/2025/04/cea-chairman-steve-miran-hudson-institute-event-remarks/ First, other countries can accept tariffs on their exports to the United States without retaliation, providing revenue to the U.S. Treasury to finance public goods provision. Critically, retaliation will exacerbate rather than improve the distribution of burdens and make it even more difficult for us to finance global public goods. Second, they can stop unfair and harmful trading practices by opening their markets and buying more from America; Third, they can boost defense spending and procurement from the U.S., buying more U.S.-made goods, and taking strain off our servicemembers and creating jobs here; Fourth, they can invest in and install factories in America. They won’t face tariffs if they make their stuff in this country; Fifth, they could simply write checks to Treasury that help us finance global public goods.

I played the demo way back when, maybe the resolution is too high, but weird control lag as well.

He's on right now talking a lot of bull**** about how everyone is robbing the US, or how tariffs made the US great before 1913. Or how the EU's non trade barriers like safety are crap. Apparently people believe the trade deficit caused the national debt, too.. And because the US doesn't look like an authoritarian state : https://newrepublic.com/post/193674/trump-military-parade-birthday

"The United States has a chance to do something that should have been done DECADES AGO. Don’t be Weak! Don’t be Stupid! Don’t be a PANICAN (A new party based on Weak and Stupid people!). Be Strong, Courageous, and Patient, and GREATNESS will be the result! Donald Trump Truth Social 04/07/25 08:59 AM" Sound mind

Done with PQ SWAT. The element leader mission is like an awful QT event, still not sure why I need to hold in some places, well and what's left or right in a given screen isn't clear. Ah well, I did try SWAT 2 but I didn't really dig it, seemed unresponsive, but maybe will retry that later. From my backlog, randomly picked Space Colony HD.

I just find such incompetence hilarious. Must be a coping mechanism from the experience of my work

Sort of amused I can't access any of my financial accounts due to the websites being down today.

https://ustr.gov/issue-areas/reciprocal-tariff-calculations Makes me miss D-E proofs But note - "The price elasticity of import demand, ε, was set at 4." and " The elasticity of import prices with respect to tariffs, φ, is 0.25. "

I reiterate my wish he was on time to work on 9/11.

I guess when all these random small nations make concessions, that'll be enough for a Victory. Also Iran got a lower tariff than ROK

Yes, but this isn't anything like those. You just follow orders, spend a lot of time watching training videos or reading materials on LAPD SWAT tactics in the 90s. Then go into some old lady's house and either take her into custody or give her a burst of 9mm to the chest. Just like PQ4 though, Gates' influence is still here, the cops talk straight from regulations

Their inability to understand sales tax is funny.

Police Quest SWAT. Brilliant copaganda, especially from the LAPD in the 90s Awful game though, amazing they shipped it with you doing the same 3 calls over and over. Well, at least SWAT 3 and 4 came from this.
