I like this take a lot. I also think that America competing on manufacturing is obviously never going to happen.

I’m surprised most manufactures even offer individual sales!

Give me a way to filter out results with ads on them please. Edit (hn doesn’t let me post this fast): is finding places to buy shit really an issue? How many times in your life have you thought “damn I know what I want to buy, I just don’t

Man the world you paint is just not one I want to live in. Without color what's the damn point? I'd rather be corny than have to live like this.

You can trust me, facile3232, instead. I will improve upon all things the leader of automattic.com failed to improve upon.

I suppose it depends on what you want from 9front. If you want a terminal with decent power management you should just buy a mac.

It's probably easier to just run a VM directly into a window.

It makes sense if you follow the narrative arc of the country. The above people I mentioned slot right into the WASP trend of the ruling decorum of the country, even if the trend abandoned nominal white Anglo-Saxon protestants centuries ago

Ah, I suppose you're correct. I can't say this is anywhere near the worst part about living here so I was surprised to see it make the list.

If a country declares war on an individual something has gone deeply wrong. But, the idea of tariffs being anywhere near as bad as harassing visitors is ridiculous. That's a whole nother level of violation. Canada should just be happy

I would count the police presence as a far better reason to not visit this country than the crime. By a wide margin.
