Authentic Texan-ness is manifested by the slogan that used to be painted on the side of Goode Company BBQ: “You might give some serious thought to thanking your lucky stars you’re …

Your NM friends have better Spanish than anyone else in this thread. Meanwhile, my fellow Texans have famously bastardized “chile con carne” to refer to spicy beef stew, and would …

> That said, I can't think of a situation where degrees (of temperature?) would disappear in a mathematical operation. I regret that the decades that have elapsed since I studied p…

You guys are familiar with how we arrived at this particular regime of mispricing risk, right? It’s preferable to the alternative. This is why banks are tightly (but imperfectly) r…

It is news to me that websites can so easily be coerced to fork over user data by private citizens prosecuting fairly petty civil actions. Is this about par for the course in Europ…

As high as engineering director candidates still need to pass a coding interview (at pretty relaxed standards), and write code to clear tasks in bootcamp (just a few). If you won't…

> Terminology: in the tax preparation industry, "pre-tax" and "post-tax" usually only refer to contributions (not account types) that are or are not (respectively) excluded from cu…

Are there generally accepted marriage principles??

...or take an intermediate position on buy vs build, and _marry_ a CPA. I've regretted it a few times, but on balance I'd recommend it.

> Out of interest, how does this work? In my ignorance, I'd have imagined a number of different chemicals with similar properties DMT that would also dissolve in the naptha. Sure, …

The flim-flam comes when management argues that they don't need to book a compensation expense. Happily, though, this flaw in the GAAP has long since been cured.

Selling stock doesn't impact the income statement; it is NOT revenue. It is capital raised. Your series of transactions would net to debit expense $1B, credit equity capital $1B. I…

I followed the tenets laid out in this article to provision a home router on NixOS... only difference is I used BTRFS snapshots instead of ZFS (which would have been pretty heavywe…

> I have been pretty damn consistent in saying that this clearly belongs with FINRA and/or FDIC Naw dawg. FDIC isn't a regulator. You were perhaps thinking of the OCC? Their jurisd…

We have that Lodge cast iron wok too, but don't use it for stir-frying... very clumsy. Instead we use it for deep frying - a task for which it's better suited than any-other our ot…

"Business rugged" Toughbooks have been my Linux platform of choice for over a decade. They are fantastic; the hardware support is great. Posting this right now from one running Arc…

My choice is Panasonic Toughbooks - the "business rugged" models, not full-on military/law-enforcement tanks. They're as thick as a Tolkien book and weigh several pounds. They don'…

It's a little difficult to parse meaning out of this article... a hit piece by a candidate for municipal office attempting to smear an incumbent with willful distortions. If GE mad…

Corporate charters don't generally include clauses requiring that profits be maximized, profits be disbursed, and executive pay be approved by shareholders. Rather they tend to inc…
