IMO I think it's weird to focus specifically on Nintendo. The American government basically screwed over its populace and a ton of foreign companies (less sympathy for the former though). I don't think it's realistic to expect these companies to reimburse companies, because logistically it'd be a nightmare. The only way I can imagine consumers getting their money back is if the government used the tarrif money to pay a portion of the federal income tax for its citizens, ideally the lower tax vracket. Unfortunately that won't happen.

You can use regular dish soap on a cast iron. The big no-nos are soaking for an extended period of time and not hand-drying after washing

Lol, somebody hasn't actually read the Bible. You have taken quite a few liberties, just in the first few points.

  1. Jesus is never portrayed as "ordinary." He's also not born in "ordinary" circumstances because he's born in a time where the king is slaughtering infants due to a prophecy saying a new king will be born, hence how he ended up in the manger.
  2. The wisemen don't proclaim anything. An angel appears to Mary before Jesus is born and tells her exactly what will happen and what to do.
  3. Jesus is a literal baby at this point. He can't refuse anything
  4. Assumptions are of no value compared to facts, or at least something that is actually in a historical text or the actual Bible.
  5. This is not what "Crossing the Threshold" would be in the Hero's Journey. It's like Luke leaving Tatooine or Frodo leaving the shire. Jesus is the son of God, at least in the context of the New Testament. There is no "threshold." He's part of an omniscient being.

and considering that's almost half of the steps, I don't think we need to go any further

TV is the biggest waste of time. I enjoy some shows, but I can acknowledge that a lot of it really is just something to fill time rather than "art." I've cut back my TV and YouTube consumption a lot, and it enables me to do a lot more non-passive hobbies. Worst case scenario I read or game, which I consider a much better use of my time.

Just fyi, I tried one your instance. Searched a user, clicked a result, and got an error.

Improved hardware capabilities used to come very quickly (see Moore's Law and Dennard Scaling). However that trend is basically over, so getting higher performance hardware takes a lot of effort to make hardware specialized for certain tasks. That's why you see there inference accelerators like Groq, SambaNova, Cerebrus, etc. However this is hardware that still is gonna go into data centers. Something innovative has to happen on the AI side for commercial-grade models to be runnable on consumer hardware.

Star Fox Zero. Sure, the story was a repeat of old game, but the gameplay was not. The controls needed more polish, but ultimately I thought the gameplay was great. I actually didn't mind the motion controls. Most of what people complained about didn't bother me or felt overblown.
