Yeah ok that doesn’t make any sense. It’s not a hypothetical, you’re just not capable of seeing literally a foot in front of you. Your one boat of wine you’re going to eat the costs on is your answer for how it’s going to be. Got it. Thanks for the great insight. Problem solved.
“If you make everything more expensive for suppliers, don’t you think the costs will get passed on directly to consumers?”
“Whoa bro quit hitting me with random hypotheticals.”
And what will you do when there is no boat coming that doesn’t offer a tariff-ridden bottle of wine? Like, maybe a month or two from now? Will you never carry international wine or will you add a markup to it? If anyone carries an international product do you expect they will eat the extra cost or add a markup to it? If they add a markup to it, who is paying for it? YOU.
If I want to buy wine from you it will now cost $15-17 if I wanted to get that wine and if you wanted to supply it. How is that cost not being passed directly to the consumer and ultimately being paid by the consumer? If you paid the tariff price and kept the retail price the same then that would be a whole different situation, but that isn’t going to happen. The end customer will pay the excess.
Yeah on second hand goods, I’m not disputing the point. “You will never pay a tariff in your life” is not qualified by this discussion.
You will never pay a tariff, but you will pay more (about exactly the cost of the tariff if not a little more for a bit of extra profiteering) is a distinction without a difference. It’s not even meaningfully pedantic.
that’s not how you run services in Linux, and hasn’t been for decades
Thanks for your response. I’m open to the idea that Linux is a different computing paradigm, my frustration is on needing to learn that on the fly and how much of a distraction it was, even on a tertiary machine… that said, how should I be thinking about this?
There’s actually a good UI for managing permissions I eventually found in Mint, I think the main issues I’m having with it now are the lack of it running headless and unreliability with running my native scripts. I’ll try the Debian version though, that sounds intriguing. When y’all talk about distro hopping, how much re-setup are we talking?
So my experience has been mixed. I should note that I have always run some Linux systems (my pihole as an example), but I did, about 2 months ago, try to switch over my windows media sever to Linux mint.
(Long story short, I am still running the windows server)
I really, really, really liked Linux Mint, I should say at the outset. I wanted to install the same -arr stack I use, and self-host a few web apps that I use to provide convenience in my home. To be very fair to Linux Mint, I’ve been a windows user for 30+ years and I never knew how to auto-start python scripts in windows.
But, to be critical, I spent hours and hours fighting permission settings in every -arr app, Plex, Docker, any kind of virtual desktop software (none of which would run prior to logging in which made running headless impossible), getting scripts to auto-run at startup, compatibility with my mouse/keyboard and lack of a real VPN client from my provider without basically coding the damn thing myself.
After about a month and a half of trying to get it working, I popped over to my windows install to get the docker command that had somehow worked on that OS but not Linux and everything was just working. I am sorry I love Linux but I wanted to get back to actually coding things I wanted to code, not my fucking operating system.
I’ll go back to Linux because Windows is untenable but I’m going to actually have to actually set aside real project time to buckling down and figuring out the remaining “quirks”.
it doesn’t really take a super big brain to stay away from a phrase like “You’ll never pay a tariff in your life” when tariffs will directly cause the price of imported goods to rise by the exact cost of the tariff or more to the end consumer.
It also doesn’t take a super big brain to know that the cost of things like traversing the suez canal (or not, when things like oil tankers can’t) IS ALREADY FACTORED INTO THE PRICE OF GOODS. You’re making my point already. Stop arguing with me.
“You’ll never pay a tarrif in your life” is like saying Johnny Knoxville has never been kicked in the dick in his life because technically his pants have been shoved into his dick by the clown shoe. Please.
