Sure, you might have to wheel around a super heavy cart full of batteries …but think of the CONVENIENCE of not having to charge your phone!

Same thing happened to me with a Tim Hortons bagel. Border guards with small dicks having a power trip. The best part? The question on the computer was "are you importing any xyz...". I was not importing it, I was eating it at the airport. Still had my Nexus taken.

"reach Mars at breakneck speed" - great choice of words there.

That's a fun memory with your mom. With parents like that, how did you grow up to be an angry seal?

It's an imperfect solution. VPNs are an issue - and even if you don't use a VPN, the API only knows the location of the ISP's servers - which can be in a different state.

My point was that, the law should leave tax inclusion in pricing as optional. There is no way to implement automatic detection cleanly, other than prompting the user to confirm their location, which is a huge annoyance - so the 'tax inclusion' rule would not make things better or more convenient.

I'd rather see prices without tax, than have to enter my zip code before I can see any pricing for anything online.

Pretty sure Trump's companies aren't profitable either. So kinda makes sense.

So happy to see a reference to Escape Velocity. I spent so many hours playing that game as a teen, modding and creating my own spaceships in Mechanisto. Good times.

So did the US government, in Operation Paperclip. Arguably worse was the protection that the US government gave towards Japanese war criminals in Unit 731. The US govt has protected / harbored some of the most evil people to have lived in the past century.
