It’s only weird if you keep shaving them for him. Open conversations like that are a sign of great communication and trust!

I know that removing pubes can have a health impact for vagina owners. I don’t know if that holds true for penis owners. That may be something to investigate and advise.

Beat those drums, hawks.

Also can’t report on how dreadfully ineffective the strikes are, because that would look bad for those who called them in.

Hitting particularly cold water makes it even worse.

You can improve a skill by visualizing your performance of the skill.

But you need to have the experience beforehand to be able to understand what you’re visualizing.

So - absolutely not.

There’s enough people locally who die that it seems reasonable for me to project that thousands die globally each year because they have no clue how to swim, but other people are there having fun in the water and how hard could it be?

I used my work address. My work is small enough that it’ll filter to me eventually if they snail mail me.

How many of those cubes is it reasonable for someone to have?

it depends

Jurisdiction is key, of course.

Income taxes (and also sales taxes, in most cases) disproportionately impact lower earners. Someone earning minimum wage likely devotes the majority of their income to cost of living essentials. Conversely, someone earning 10x minimum wage will spend a much lower percentage.

The exclusion level generally is set quite a bit below minimum wages, and the a progressive tax doesn’t always fix that, as cost of living/inflation can outpace legislation very quickly.

The other reason that it’s not entirely fair is that the wealthy don’t earn a salary. They earn dividends and do all kinds of things to avoid having an income. Someone who pulls down $1 million in salary either needs an accountant or earns an additional 10x compensation via stock grants, dividends, etc., which are (in most jurisdictions) taxed very differently than income. In the USA, for example, the top tax bracket (federal) for income is 37%, whereas a stock grant held for 1 year after vesting would be taxed at no more than 20% (and I’m grossly oversimplifying).

super concerned about cross-continuation in kosher context

wears mask below nose. And mouth.

1. It’s still in use, but perhaps seasonally or infrequently.
2. It’s gonna get fixed just as soon as I have time.
3. It’s got parts for the other one I have.
4. Might be useful someday. It’s got parts, and the hardware store is 20 miles away.
5. Scrap metal value.
6. The dump is 20 miles away, gonna get a load built up and do a dump run with Jimmy, just as soon as his trailer gets fixed.
7. The dump doesn’t take that thing.
8. Redneck decor.
9. The dump is closed

The current situation with megabytes of JavaScript is pretty bad, but at the time, there was still a fair bit of dialup active, and mobile web was just starting to be a thing - on EDGE and barely 3G. It would take minutes to load.

Also, Steve Jobs had it in for Flash and that’s what ultimately killed it off, I think.

That’s a sign of unmanaged dependency.

That $300/visit doesn’t go to the dr before it passes through several layers of bureaucracy, each of which skims their fee.

Not to say that doctors aren’t well compensated. They are.

NK is a bad enough place to visit without worrying about everything. It’s the ultimate in mismanagement.

Management says it must happen, so it happens, or we tell them it’s happened. When someone gets hurt because it actually didn’t happen, there’s a cover up.

It’s not just industry. Now they’re killing the development of skills and knowledge in engineering (hardware, software) and design

USA could have spent money developing an electrified economy but the republicans are focusing on bringing back coal mining and reshoring shoe manufacturing instead.

This admin has set the USA back 100 years.

ETA - what I mean is that China is rampaging on in electrification, developing manufacturing skills, infrastructure, and design/engineering/technology around renewables and electrification. Europe is thinking about it but not going crazy to the extent China is, because legacy - China doesn’t have 100 years of cars and 150 years of trains; they’re building new. USA meanwhile is actively regressing under Republican policies.

They’re mostly all made in one or two factories in China. Midea and another one.

When it comes time to replace the AC, consider getting one that’s reversible and runs as a heat pump. You don’t need to use it, but it shouldn’t cost much more and gives you flexibility.

MS pulled access to the azure environment of a (Russian owned) bank in NL and despite NL court orders asking for the data to be made accessible, it took diplomacy and a US court order to get access. This was not during trump admin.

We’ve been saying “this would never happen” and trump admin has slowly been shifting the Overton window.

Yep one of the big drivers is flexibility in capex vs opex. They’ll shape the contract whichever way you want but on prem is straight to capex. I think. I’m not an accountant.

They don’t work that effectively. To the effect they do, they make you smell like poison to mosquitoes.

DEET blocks odorant receptors at a distance and chemoreceptors on contact. Icardin blocks odorant receptors.
