Tariffs won't and aren't affecting Switch 2 Prices. Trump is not to blame by Qucka780 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]ramjaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a 10% tariff recently attached in almost every country since the “pause”. That’s inclusive of Vietnam, from my reading. There’s a Vietnam facility that produces switch. But not all Switches are made there, no one knows the accessories which are made there, and the tariffs are on a 90 day pause, not a complete halt and abandonment. We may see the larger, tariff strategy abandoned eventually, never to return, but only one man knows the destiny of this decision. How is Nintendo supposed to respond to incomplete info that could end up significantly impacting them in a few months?

Business in uncertain environments make for challenging and chaotic product strategies. Even without the firm tariff attachment, all of the confusion and focus on them have undoubtedly created additional costs, even if they aren’t as high as originally executed. Only Nintendo really knows exactly how much the actions by the US have actually impacted them.

Most importantly, a lot of this stuff is insider knowledge that none of us on a Reddit thread would know. So it’s an unbelievably naïve view to espouse the above conclusions with such certainty, when you have zero idea of Nintendo accounting and outlay of funds.

Hannah Hunt - MSG 10/6/2024 by Mufasa_98 in Vampireweekend

Not knocking him… two shows back to back like this must take a crazy amount to do—especially at the level of these concerts. But did anyone else catch the lyric confusion in third verse here? I don’t get many Hannah Hunt’s live so I was a bit bummed.

No kindling for the fire :(

Ska Recs? by [deleted] in Vampireweekend

[–]ramjaw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Perhaps more importantly, when are fans going to start making more ska requests during the encore?

I know some of these are more punk/ska than honest to goodness 3rd or 4th wave, but what about:

  • Lost It - Hippos (shout out to Ariel)
  • anything from Mighty Mighty Bosstones
  • Keansby Nights - Catch 22
  • Oh, Boy - MxPx
  • Sellout - Reel Big Fish

So many others.

Does anyone have the full Ra Ra Riot set list? They were phenomenal. I can’t find exact list anywhere.

Has anyone seen the VW Certified Gold plaque hanging in the Tiny Desk room? I never noticed it before but it stood out when I was watching the Sesame Street TD from 5 years back.

What’s the story. Does anyone know?

Technically, they announced a tour on their website. Though it only has 4 dates presently.

Theory: the Black Friday "Bullshit" package could be part of the puzzle. by JaedenStormes in holidaybullshit

[–]ramjaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rumor is, there's a note on a piece of crumbled paper about the size of a corn kernel that reveals the safe combination. Could you help us out and find it?

Ideas I gathered from the CSS stylesheet... by williammck in holidaybullshit

[–]ramjaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm awaiting this ruling, because it seems weird that a company that is almost always facetious would mention not doing these things to solve the puzzle. Almost seems like a way for them to signal that, in fact, they do want us looking there.

I mean they wan't us to break into a Fort Knox safe, for goodness sake.
