Tampons weigh nothing

When you’re dealing with the tyranny of rocketry, every gram matters.

That said, I agree with your point. The mass and volume was well within acceptable mission parameters.

Do your iPhones usually take oil?

What do you think plastic is made from?

Packaging, no. But manufacturing it into something else, yes.

Do you think a tariff on copper would apply to an iPhone? Or a tariff on oil?

Congratulations on getting what you voted for.

That’s generally how tariffs work. A tariff on grain is not a tariff on bread. A tariff on steel is not a tariff on knives. A tariff on cotton is not a tariff on clothing.

It can be, of course. A tariff can be on steel and items made with steel. But that’s not usually the case, and it’s usually called out as such. Of course, Trump is not what you’d call the most precise communicator in the world, but all we can do is work with what he says.

Right, but this tariff, at least as I understand it, is on chips imported as chips, not on products that contain chips. An iPhone will, of course, be subject to some other damn fool tariff, but not this specific one.

Of course, my understanding of this specific tariff may be wrong.

What he means is, if I buy an iPhone built in China, this tariff won’t affect the price I pay.

But if I buy a phone built in America, with an imported processer, this tariff will make that phone more expensive.

Unlike the Left, we don’t believe in erasing American history — we honor it.”

Really? Because your guys spent the first few months of this year erasing as much history of women and minorities as you could get your hands on.

Oh and you guys are trying to erase about half the history of impeachment in the country.

This is the way.

One reason might be shipping. A car probably takes up the same space in a shipping container as four cars worth of steel.

I don’t know where the break even point is. But it’s likely to be more complex than you describe.

An interesting analyses. It certainly matches what we’ve seen. His attacks on the standard list of people is moderately pathetic, and quite predictable.

He’s never told the truth in his life. How hard would it be to say “no, of course not.”

Wasn’t he introduced with a story of pulling off a miracle to escape the Gorn? Or am I not remembering properly?

Trouser Python. Technically true, and no-one is going to check.

Are we expecting the Democratic party to actually support him? Seems the national leadership would rather see someone else in his spot.

Can Trump prove his citizenship, if this policy goes through?

Indeed it is so.

Nevertheless, assholes.

I’m trying to determine if we are using words to mean the same things. It seems we are not.

Since I don’t take issue with your goals, only your vocabulary, I suppose that continuing to discuss it is pointless.
