I used to do that sometimes back near the turn of the century when font pickers hadn’t learned to put a most-recently-used list at the top yet and you needed to scroll through hundreds if you installed several office suites or other publishing software.

Nintendo raises the Switch 1 price from $299 to $339 / The Switch OLED price jumped by $50 on Sunday, to $399.99.

Did the price go up in Europe too?

As a Canadian, my experience is many products have traditionally been imported from overseas into the USA, and then redistributed into Canada, leaving us with exposure to their tariffs.

Suppliers have been trying to eliminate this middle step generally but I don’t know about Nintendo specifically.

Peak American design: a vehicle that is 6 meters long, weighs over 4 tonnes, and can only carry six or seven people (but will usually carry one person most of the time.)

Muscle cars are slower going around a twisty race track than a standard sports cars, but are supposed to be good at going fast in a straight line, think of those desert interstate pictures where the highway stretches straight to the horizon. I don’t think there are many legal outlets for taking advantage of what muscle cars are supposed to do.
