Also the guy in the chat, before he escalated it to phone support, told me to deregister the Kindle in a last ditch effort to force a reset.
The woman on the phone was like "Oh...The device isn't registered to your account" in a very "that's too bad, now I can't help" tone.

My Kindle got bricked during an error installing a new update, and the woman told me "Do a factory reset by holding down the up volume button and the power button."
This thing doesn't have a volume button, it has no speakers.
I told her that and she acted like I was dumb and said "it's on the side"

How Tariffs Fucking Work
The government has done a horrible job explaining this, so let's get into it.

How Tariffs Fucking Work The government has done a horrible job explaining this, so let's get into it. Swipe

1. Tariffs are federal import taxes paid by American businesses directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (part of the Department of Homeland Security).
2. These taxes must be paid by an American company before a shipment of products made overseas can enter the USA.
3. The tax is based on a shipment’s β€œvalue” (how much it cost to make the products). If a tariff rate is 50%, and a business wants to import products that cost $500,000 to make, then the business must pay the American government a $250,000 tax before the goods can enter the country.
4. In other words, a shipment that was supposed to cost a business $500,000 now suddenly costs $750,000 due to tariffs.
5. In 2025, Trump often changed these import tax rates while shipments were in transit. His tariffs got as high as 145%β€”which means businesses were being asked to pay Donald Trump more than the people who actually made the fucking products.

6. Some American businesses literally could not afford to receive shipments they had ordered, because they didn’t have enough cash to pay the unjustified, illegal taxes the government was now demanding.
7. At a tariff rate of 145%, a shipment of products that costs a business $500,000 to make requires a tax payment of $725,000 to import, bringing the total cost up dramatically to $1,225,000. Yowza!
8. American businesses pay Trump’s tariffs. Other countries don’t pay them. Foreign factories don’t pay them. Trump doesn’t seem to understand this, and he has been misinforming the American people for years.
9. Of course, many businesses passed all their tariff costs onto their customers by raising prices. And now, those companies and their shareholders––not the customers who actually paid the tariff costs––stand to get refunds.

I love Cactus Cooler, but the fact it was only in the southwest of the US was a bane of my existence. Last time I was in California I ended up lugging a 12 pack back home.
To find it now in NW Washington is baffling, but exciting.

Found a hardcover copy of House of Leaves and found out that, for some bizarre reason (not complaining though) Cactus Cooler is now being distributed in my area.
