Thanks, Max K! Thanks for what you guys do. I started watching back in firetruck days - now I am an IT First Responder helping EMTs. I depend on my LTT gear to help me save lives every day!

Thanks, Joshua Carol C! Hey WideAreaNetwork, How is it managing 2 stores? These are already items on the US store that isn't on the GLOBAL one. P.S. can our "30 Year Olds" give us a Hairline check?

Thanks, Tobias F! Hi, I recently watched your home server room build videos and was wondering why you did not install a water to water heat pump to increase the heat that you take out of that room and put into the pool

Reply @Josiah K! I got some really nice B&O H100s and they make me very happy having a good quality headset and something bluetooth too.

Thanks, Nick M! Hi LLD as an American viewer I'd like to welcome you to my gift card hoarding era. Can't wait to spend them all once tariffs end/de minimus returns. Do they expire? Can I apply several to one order?
 
Reply to Nick M
Reply @Nick M! Not to my knowledge, and I believe you can. Lots of people save up for backpacks. Message Shopify or out

Thanks, Anonymous! hello LLD (and me when i watch the VOD), here in Europe there are mass boycotts against USA products, esp food brands, is similar behavior happening in Canada?
 
Reply to Anonymous
Reply @Anonymous! Absolutely. Almost everyone I know shames others if they bought American things, we check on the shelves, and it's pretty widespread.

Thanks, Joshua Carol C! Hey WAN, with US store having more inventory as compared to the Global store, and drops like BigNerdGaming & Gift cards only on the US site, How are your Devs doing Luke with these teething issues?

Reply @Joshua Carol C! They do what they need.
  Rachel B
Thanks, Rachel B! Hey from New Zealand! Sorry for the global store pain, it's a win for me. Shopping in CAD makes everything on LLTstore.com feel more affordable.
  Phillip S
Thanks, Phillip S! Hi early.dll! Might be in stillin discussions (or I have yet to watch - delayed watch) but will the gift cards be only usable on the US store? Thanks and understand the headache!

Reply @Cesar G! That would be way more approachable.
  Trent M
Thanks, Trent M! With price increases in games, do you think more people will pirate games, or will they just pay the increased price
 
Reply to Trent M
Reply @Trent M! Probably more of the both

Thanks, chuchu c! MADE IN USA doesn't mean quality. You're just paying for labor cost. The most reliable pistol isn't even made in America, it's made in Australia.

  Grimyre
Thanks, Grimyre! Hello.DLL: Question. ("That's not a question."); Would it be erroneous to build the labs site for general/lay consumers, then have a "tech-toggle" that brings back all the complicated pricing/stats?
 
Reply to Grimyre
Reply @Grimyre! Probably not a bad idea
  Grimyre
Thanks, Grimyre! Hello.DLL: Is LMG attempting to figure out a good solution to hire US-remote devs? I'd love to join nukem's team, but the process seems absurdly convoluted, shy impossible.
 
Reply to Grimyre
Reply @Grimyre! Our devs are all over the world.
  Grimyre
Thanks, Grimyre! Hello.DLL: What platform did LMG decide to go with (SalesForce, Zendesk, etc) for workflow and processes? Why?
 
Reply to Grimyre
Reply @Grimyre! Shopify for store, and Airtable.
