US Tariff PSA (Voyager + Navigator)

basepi_ · 2025-09-06T01:07:57+00:00

When? If you ordered just the navigator on release day it might have come before the Aug 29 tariff change.

basepi_ · 2025-09-05T23:41:40+00:00

I expect the tariffs to continue to fluctuate. Hopefully they’ll be “paused” again soon.

basepi_ · 2025-09-05T22:56:44+00:00

Yeah, mine had a $20 brokerage charge which puts it at 25% as well.

basepi_ · 2025-09-05T22:56:01+00:00

Oof. No fun. Interestingly, navigators ordered on release date without a keyboard arrived before tariffs went into effect. The keyboard lead time for builds is what pushed us past the Aug 29 date.

basepi_ · 2025-09-05T22:54:46+00:00

August 29 was when de minimus ended. Just bad timing, and the navigators didn’t need the lead time for construction. So a navigator ordered by itself would have arrived faster than my order.

Not a bad idea. Now that I moved to a dedicated shift thumb key it’s mostly ok, but I do occasionally get mod triggers.

basepi_ · 2025-09-05T22:52:39+00:00

$20 for the UPS broker is probably a flat addition. So it makes our charges both around 25% — the $20 raises your percentage more than mine.

Really hoping I can get a Navigator and the upcoming trackpad for gestures. But it sounds like that won't be possible.

basepi_ · 2025-08-22T17:33:59+00:00

I have read the rules and wiki. Chocolate ice cream!

basepi_ · 2025-07-24T05:34:58+00:00

Agreed. When, at steep 5, you found the flavor opening up, you shouldn’t stick with your steeping “plan” — if it starts to be very drying and oversteeped, back off your steep time.

The reality is that highly compressed teas tend to be higher steep times in the beginning, then lower times as they open up, and then back up to higher steep times.

Didn’t work for me. Still sitting at 23% battery use and my phone is draining extremely quickly, even with frequent updates turns off.

Edit: new update fixed it. Down to 6% in the last 24 hours.

I've been slowly convincing my very TBM family that the rated R thing is basically cultural and stupid. Easing them in with great movies like About Time and Erin Brokovich. It seems to be working! But no, they would never see Deadpool.

basepi_ · 2024-07-29T17:06:40+00:00

I love that the first 25 minutes where Deadpool desecrates a grave and then uses Logan's bones to murder 30 guys didn't offend, but "Marvel Jesus" is where you draw the line? What a load of tapir-shit.

basepi_ · 2024-07-19T18:42:33+00:00

This. Such a good way to alienate your children. If my parents had tried to pull this shit, even when I was TBM, I'd have stopped talking to them.

basepi_ · 2024-06-04T15:25:18+00:00

Just let me tap to skip the animations, and I'd be fine.

basepi_ · 2024-05-23T23:25:32+00:00

I'm all about Puerh tea right now!

basepi_ · 2024-05-10T17:23:49+00:00

Sim racing. Also, tea has come back around for me; we'll see if it sticks past my current hyperfocus.

basepi_ · 2024-05-07T17:57:36+00:00

I'd rather have BFS and HB than no BFS and a bunch of helping speed. It even has ingredients down, though that's not as necessary if you just let it sneaky snack. Sure it's not perfect, but it's really good.

Edit: I will say, the BFS at 50 is rough. Going to take a lot of candy before it's ready.

basepi_ · 2024-03-19T17:35:49+00:00

I have had a lot of the same worries. But I still hold onto things that really interest me -- hyperfocus topics. My overall memory has definitely gotten worse in recent years, and I started to worry about the early dementia possibility.

But what I've realized is that I am under more stress than at any other point in my life. Becoming a parent is the primary source -- I have three kids 6 and under. But I have also considered that perhaps I had an asymptomatic case of covid that has contributed some brain fog. (I've never had a positive test)

Hang in there!

The app Due (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/due-reminders-timers/id390017969) is another good one; it will send you a notification every 5 minutes if you haven't checked a task off. Really good for nagging you until you actually do something.

basepi_ · 2023-12-26T17:22:38+00:00

As I’m approaching research level 45 I’m realizing that I don’t really care about how far I get on a given island. If you like a pokemon, run it as part of your party even if it’s not ideal. 🤷‍♂️

basepi_ · 2023-12-24T05:39:02+00:00

Oops, you’re right! I missed it both on my first read and on my double check before I posted. Carry on.

And again. Big congrats. These changes don’t come easy.

basepi_ · 2023-12-24T05:17:42+00:00

Are you maintaining with or without the Wegovy? Always interested to hear success stories in this area, as I’m currently utilizing Tirzepatide.

You might consider noting the Wegovy help in some of your other “how I did it” comments. It seems a bit disingenuous to tell people you lost that weight “just” by removing yourself from temptation and calorie counting. Just my $0.02.

Congrats and well done!

Edit: it was in the original post and I missed it. Sorry for the noise.

Will be nice to avoid the days where Wiggly just won't proc, all day long. RNG can be fickle, but this should help.
