IIRC the plan is for the de minimus exemption to end on May 2nd. So we may see similar changes for sub-$800 shipments after that.

Using our tax dollars to house people in a Salvadoran prison. Yikes. What are the chances we can stop payment on that one?

I’ve been corrected. Is is real. It makes sense that they were just documenting his word salad.

I love the question and hope to see some good responses here.
If someone reading this has Ryan Mcbeth’s ear they might want to point him to this post. He’d likely have good suggestions. Here’s one of his lectures on disinformation: https://www.youtube.com/live/THfi_lxBvW0

In the past, what has worked for me is to configure the routers to disconnect clients whose signal level drops below a specified threshold. Clients aren’t savvy about this / will stay connected to a poor signal when a better one is available. You’d have to look at router-reported signal levels in your physical space to figure out where to set the thresholds.
Congrats, you made me wonder what the specifics were enough to look it up.
Here’s the case info for anyone else that’s similarly curious: https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-dis-crt-sd-new-yor/114642632.html
Great article. Thanks for sharing.

I checked tineye and it didn’t find any other copies of this image. Says it was posted to imgur yesterday.

I read this as a haiku.
US-specific: The ACA (healthcare.gov) subsidizes healthcare insurance costs based on income. Especially in cases where you income is low this can be an awesome deal. Folks making $35k annually get stellar premium costs, deductibles, and out of pocket maximums. As income increases, the subsidies ramp down.
Unaffordable coverage: If your employer’s plan is considered unaffordable, you might be eligible for premium tax credits through the Marketplace. The affordability test considers the cost of self-only coverage and family coverage. For example, if your share of the premium for your spouse and children is more than 8.39% of your household income in 2024, their coverage might be considered unaffordable.
To anyone that hasn’t yet seen the movie Idiocracy, watch it now. Best documentary you’ll ever watch.
The article doesn’t make this clear but “proficiency testing” is a “testing the testers” activity that ensures that labs’ procedures are working. So milk testing done by labs will still be done but those labs won’t be tested until this is resolved. Yes, the activity being stopped is important but a short stall shouldn’t immediately accept food safety.
