I dunno if this is anyone else but me, but, in the US this weekend, I heard a radio advertisement on our local Clear Channel / CBS station that was just a guy without music, forcefully stating that "tariffs are a matter of national security."

Honestly I am thankful all the time that people are able to find jobs that suit them best. I am a graphic designer by trade, and working from home has basically been the greatest creative boon I've ever had in my life, lol.

It's never too late to enter carpentry. I know quite a few programmers who do carpentry as their main hobby. Something about the math and the amount of careful planning is highly transferrable, I guess.

Me, Local Fact Checker (who is also very tired and lazy): "seems fine"

Honestly, I know a lot of companies that would be absolutely fucked if Backblaze went under in a dramatic fashion.

I get it, I'm just poking fun a bit.
