Completely flat steel's gonna ding like a bitch and it'll never come out. You'll need an entire new sheet to replace it if you want it to look right.

That said, it will never look right since it's not being built with thermal expansion in mind.

I call it X/Twitter/whatever just to add some frustration and negative sentiment to the branding in my own circles. A reminder that the platform's been poisoned and it isn't what people should be using.

Never in any holistic manner, would you care to enlighten me?

"According to a report published by popular research companies"

I'd like to know to whom "popular research companies" refers, and by what means they're measuring "losing 30% of users".

Ultimately though, does this matter? The smartphone userbase in China and India are a combined 6 times the size of the USA's and are growing. Furthermore, the USA imports most of their tech from China, while China keeps their wealth largely internal. Even if the USA were to completely cutoff trade with China, it's not like China's doing nearly as much importing of manufactured goods, especially in the low-end, and it's not as though China would be at a loss for trade partners even if every US ally followed suit.

Cutting off trade to China, at least by what I can tell, would hurt the USA far more than China, or am I wrong?

You literally don't know what "Net Neutrality" means, and I don't have the energy to explain it when you're obviously not the type to listen.

Ted Cruz reminds me of a lot of people, but I hate him more than any of them.

No, Canada has a very different tax system than the USA, and everywhere else doesn't have this problem.
