The SO and I had been planning to get a new desktop computer one of these days, and I spotted a good deal at Costco last week when I was there for my COVID booster. Normally there would be gradual movement toward "huh, that seems good, maybe we should get that at some point," but with tariffs possibly coming tomorrow that could raise the cost of electronic devices significantly, we decided very quickly to go for it.

With the likely incoming health secretary being both very pro-milk and anti-seed oils, and my immune system still very negative on dairy, I've started stockpiling margarine.

And I'm ready to listen to my friends and my immigrant coworkers if they have something urgent to say. I realize I'm pretty lucky in only having to worry about collateral damage (probably), while some of you may be directly targeted.
