Federal income tax, NY/NJ state tax reciprocity laws. Medicare, Medicaid, SS.. I'm too tired to type them all.

Is it 'political interference' when you get fired from a job for objectively poor performance?

You can get internet and a phone for < $20/month. It will have all the apps, you don't need a computer.

No, they're not. Not in most of the US and not compared to social media/porn. This is disingenuous. The average 13 year old in the US cannot easily get a cigarette or a beer. Not i…

LCMS is more conservative as you know, There is a lot of disagreement between ELCA. I know of many lutheran [cool] pastors who had earrings, pony tails, never preached a single wor…

>It's the responsibility of parents and other adults to keep children away from porn The only way to do that [currently] is legislation. It is impossible otherwise.

IMO you are too caught up on the religious part of the teaching [ maybe rightfully so ] and less on the actual message. The reason why this is so important is because of the preser…

Why not deploy cloudflare-os on proxmox?

Another request for Home lab geeks: A Proxmox installer script. I tried going through the wizard to install, it would be nice if there was a proxmox container or vm to spin up quic…

A tax cut or PILOT vs vacant land in a small city with a shrinking tax base is still net positive tax increase. If the options are 0 or 50% off some tax rate table, the 50% is stil…

It's for the people if they are stuck with a negative tax base and no way out. You either expand tax base or shrink it. A DC [can be] a good stop gap as it increases tax base for t…

John Oliver is also one of the most biased sources of news you could possibly absorb. He's a comedian playing the part of an opinion news reporter. No different than Fox news hosts…

Yeah, not sure why people are downvoting you. I suspect because most people run wifi cameras and don't see the reason to run a ethernet cable. If you are halfway serious about your…

Try to build a device and not pay the tax stamp. You can see it in products like inovelli where zwave is always more than zigbee. https://inovelli.com/collections/z-wave-light-swit…

Would that estimate include other hypotheticals like what would be the price if they kept building Nuclear?

You forgot off by one errors ;)

Really, you are comparing the latest claude opus/fable vs my cousin with 0 knowledge of the application (user or developer)? I'm not sure how to reply to that.

Let me give you a scenario and see if it is in this same fireable offense line: An Ops person who deals with company code base but is not a SWE in the code base regularly has to wo…

The absurdity [as I see it] is that people like you think you know what is or isn't other peoples problem. You only get to say that when you live on an island.

The people that think like this are the ones that want to pick and choose what is not other peoples problems. It doesn't work or scale in a society. If everyone gets to arbitrarily…

Zen talks about this frequently. It's not a issue unless you make it one. Don't let it be an excuse not to be mindful.

You just explained your cycle though. At least you can see it, up to you on how to get out of it. It sounds cliche but it's entirely in your power to change it. The reason you can'…

You aren't chopping wood everyday. Hopefully that's been prepared. Feeding yes.

The B58 engine + ZF8 is probably one of the best engine/transmission combos BMW ever built. And arguably one of the best combos on the road today. Very reliable, efficient and fast…

Mercedes used to be that. The S class used to be the best car you could buy. The S class sales are tanking as well as E class and the rest of their cars are just toyota corolla cla…
