To add to that, terms like Bronze age refer to different times in different locations depending on when bronze began being used. It would refer to an earlier time in the near East than it would in Scandinavia(3300 BC vs 1700 BC). It is not as relevant in the Americas as metallurgy didn't even appear to exist in pre-Columbian North America. There was some minor use of bronze in certain South American cultures but it doesn't seem to have been extensive enough to define a time period.

I don't really see the benefit in this. You can install LineageOS without gapps and MicroG already distributes a fork of LineageOS that includes MicroG. If you want full control of your device you will likely be better off going with something like Librem 5 from Purism.

Is caffeine addiction a serious public health crisis?
Nictoine on its own is no more harmful than caffeine.

I believe in the case of NY it was all flavors except menthol that were banned.

In the case when prices are increased to cover the tariffs, yes. However, right now the Chinese manufacturers are eating the costs.

While I don't think that subsidies and trade wars are good things. The tariffs collected a lot more than was spent on those agriculture subsidies.

The article mentioned that:
> In its annual reports, TI wraps calculator revenue into a larger category (“Other”), which includes additional products. Since 2014, this category has seen a 35% decline, from $2.2B to $1.4B.
But didn't mention the fact that "Other" accounts for only 3% of TI's revenue.

An arbitrary precision calculator language. It can be used as a scripting language or from an interactive shell. It is part of POSIX so you are running Linux you probably have it installed.

With the previous Mac Pro they made a big deal right away from the fact that it was being made in Texas. Since they didn't do that this time around many people were wondering if they shifted production over seas. This is Apple quelling those rumors. Also:
> The value of American-made components in the new Mac Pro is 2.5 times greater than in Apple’s previous generation Mac Pro.
