re: China-US trade deal “done” and pending presidential approval, according to Trump
Posted by auisssa on 6/11/25 at 9:48 am
You have it backwards
quote:
Meanwhile, China agreed to lower its tariffs on most US goods from 125% to 10%.
That trade truce was meant to give the two sides until Aug. 10 to broker a more comprehensive deal on trade.
The 55% tariff rate Trump announced Wednesday refers to the 10% baseline rate the president slapped on nearly all countries, the 20% rate he levied on Beijing due to the fentanyl crisis as well as roughly 25% for preexisting tariffs from Section 301, most favored nation and elsewhere, a White House official told The Post

We match 4% each paycheck. But this year my age + years of service means 11% safe harbor. Great bonus this (and most) year. They'll have to run me off at this point.

Assuming you have a house fast charger?
My washer and dryer room shares a wall with the garage. Use a SplitVolt to connect to the 240 dryer plug. Less than $500 and got that back after the Alabama Power rebate. Charge from 9PM to 5AM at a reduced Alabama Power rate. Really works well for me.
To your point, I doubt it would be that nice if half the neighborhood had EVs charging at the same time though. Only a few in the hood here.

I agree with most of what you said. 3 hour trip? No problem for me. If l Im heading to Maine or somewhere similar? Might take the wife's car. Especially if the wife and kids were with me.
But man I love it and it meets 99% of my needs. My initial response was really about the number of stops needed. It would just be 1 stop at most for a 5 hour trip.

I never said it was a 5 hour trip. 2:45 depending on traffic. So yea, I'd have to stop for 30 mins or so for a 5 hour trip.
The other stuff? Too quite? Too fast you get scared? Ok man.

Or if you have an electric vehicle, at least once for an hour and a half
Or get a real EV. I charge to 90% for a regular 220 mile trip, dont make any stops and get back with 10%. While driving fast.

When I asked where Trump was, Grok said this:
Then Grok asked if I wanted to include Trump in the list. He came in at #2 behind Musk and ahead of Obama and bumped LaBron off the list.
quote:
Donald Trump is not on the list I provided, as I focused on a diverse set of living Americans with broad, sustained impact across various fields, based on general knowledge and sentiment in 2025. His influence, while significant, is polarizing and often tied to political cycles, which may not align with the broader criteria I used

And? Never said he hasn't. Just that his path is clearer for playing time if they don't draft a similar guard. Who knows what they'll do draft wise now with the latest injury in Boston.
Hoping he gets a full time contract with the Celts or somebody else thos year.

There's likely to be signifiant interest from smart teams late in the first round and early in the second round in a young talent like Philon, who flashed major potential in spurts at Alabama as a true freshman. He's an exciting on-ball defender with burst and ball skills to grow into a starting guard. That's hard to find this late in the draft, even if he isn't ready to do so as a rookie.
