I think that massive swing is largely due to the increase in exports over the last month or two. Imports get subtracted from GDP (it's domestic product after all), and people have imported a lot trying to beat the tariffs. GDP= C+I+G+NX where NX is net exports. NX goes more negative when we...

Good lord, let's just run the ball.

50?!?! I am still figuring out what I want for 40.

Heck of a game. Nice job both teams.

Chan has had some really good chances this period.

I'm not particular. All cake is good.

Come on Edina! (ducks behind the glass).

Probably nothing happens, frankly. Maybe they send you a letter telling you to stop (called a cease and desist letter). They could also send a letter offering to leave you alone for a relatively small amount of money, say $20k (basically offering you a license). They aren't likely to sue unless...

Am patent attorney, but not your attorney. I use patents.Google.com to do my searching. There are other better tools, but they usually require a subscription. Patent applications are not immediately public. Typically they become public 18 months after filing (or when the patent issues if they...

If my daughters think I'm paying for their wedding they'll have a another thing coming. My wife's parents didn't give us anything but they didn't have anything either. I think my parents gave us $5k or something like that (less than 10 years ago). I'll probably give something similar (adjusted...

I'd be finding some lithium 9V batteries that last for several years so that I didn't have to deal with that. That sounds unpleasant.

Lunch and dinner every day. It's delicious.

My guess is it was more the speed you were driving, though temperature definitely plays a huge part. Here is a really cool site that estimates the effect of temperature and speed on mileage (not for your vehicle, just generally). About halfway down you'll find a slider for "Impact of...
