Sweet jesus yes. And now we are faced with a potential new billionaire to rule over us.

My favorite take on the subject Internet Comment Etiquette: “The Mandela Effect”

truth. when a girl gets their chance to write their name they stop paying attention to things like dont point it at my fucking shoe.

gotcha. What about assets? Im not an accounting person, but we routinely buy tooling for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Raw materials have costs/value associated with them. How would that figure in?

my kid was playing on a swing in a community park in a neighboring town (an expensive place to live). She found a big baggie of cash, looked like mostly singles, but it was maybe 2" thick. I told her to put it back and not mess with it. Maybe it was someones birthday money, maybe it was some other nefarious source. no matter what I don’t need that in my life, I definitely don’t need my kid dealing with it.

this is interesting to me. can you show your work? Id be interested in going through the thought experiment as well.

Trumps plan to get out of Vietnam:

If one wants to make an argument about an American melting pot identity, blending these cultures together to something new, you are lying to yourself if you try to exclude the massive influence non-‘white’ cultures had and continue to have on that shared cultural identity.

So we had a strange early insurance change at work. HSA plan went from 6k max out of pocket to 16k.

right? teams is a descendant of INSTANT messaging. I actually find it more annoying if someone tries to initiate a Teams Call without the “do you have a minute for a quick call?”

Some things are easier to do via email. Some things are best discussed live. Be that via text or voice or video.

I think this is a bad idea. A one time tax? Too easy to wiggle out of. Make it yearly and put it at a lower rate.

How do kids write? I know I will go back and forth over the same well formed letter to make it look scribbly.
