9·9 months agoOnly increased taxes on the amount in the next bracket. If they’re making 110k a year, only about 10k will be taxed at the 24% rate. Everything else stays the same.
2·9 months agoLamar is great. Not the type to rap about money, women and getting fucked up. I’d recommend mAAd City, DNA., HUMBLE. to start with. I’m not big into rap, but Kendrick is great.
Kendrick Lamar, Daniel Radcliffe (played Harry Potter), Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber. Radcliffe is the only one I would expect most people to get. Bieber hasn’t even been in the news cycle since before Covid, at least that I’ve noticed. Lady Gaga is more of a millenial pop icon than Grande. And Kendrick is definitely one of, if not the biggest name in hip hop right now, but unless you follow hip hop news you probably wouldn’t see him much in your newsfeed.

“Hard lemonade could mean anything.”
They have signs up listing how much caffeine is in them, which by the way, isn’t legally mandated. The only requirement the FDA has on caffeine labeling is that it’s listed as an ingredient. That’s it. The amount of caffeine doesn’t have to be disclosed.
So if the amount of caffeine is known, what more do they need to do before it becomes the consumer’s responsibility? Your argument is that it’s dangerous, but alcohol is much more dangerous than what is known from the surgeon General warning, and its dangerous to those not consuming it as well.
You can’t treat it different because of the novelty of the item, in which case maybe the FDA needs to mandate all drugs to have warning labels, not just OTC and alcohol.
Alcohol has warning labels on it, why are bars allowed to exist?
3·10 months agoUSB-C wasn’t designed until 2014. So yeah you’ll need a charging cable regardless
Don’t forget a charger, otherwise you’ll be screwed for awhile
Reality is covid changed the way they did it, that and many stores closing on Thanksgiving. Then they realized they could still make a similar amount of money with less risk to people and property. And with digital retail becoming more popular they’ll lose less product to theft and damages if you ship from a warehouse or have a personal shopper get it for you and bring it to your car instead of going into an overcrowded store.
Employees are less stressed, everyone is safer, and sales numbers are the same or better.
113·10 months agoCounter argument, Russian interference and political undermining has a direct and indirect influence on global politics.
“Russia should “introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics”.”
That’s a funny way to say “murder”…
Good catch, I didn’t even notice the percentages. I did look at the date but of course the meal was purchased on the one day this month where that’s not helpful
Let’s see… dollar sign? Well that cuts out a lot of the world. Written in English, so that leaves about 3 countries. Australia doesn’t have a tipping culture the same way we do in North America so that leaves either Canada or the US, in which case you can replace state with province and cover your bases.
If charging dinner to the company is going to tank your P&L, you’ve got much bigger things to worry about. And no, they ain’t going to promote you because you saved them $30.
So originally anything west of the Appalachian mountains was called the west. Then as they explored more of the land and gained territories the line that defined the west moved to the Mississippi, making the territories between the Appalchians and Mississippi the Midwest.
Now the regions are split based on census data, and there are huge swaths of land in the West and Midwest that are sparsely populated so they are larger regions in size.
It makes sense if you actually look into it and take a 5 minute google search to learn about it.
Pretty sure they’re implying that the region west of the 13 colonies was called the Midwest, not that Ohio was considered the Midwest because it was one of the original colonies…
I’m seeing between 3 and 6 killed reported by the Independent, Al Jazeera, and others that I havent heard of before mostly citing Comittee to Protect Journalists. Mohammad Salhi is the only one that I can see is definitely confirmed.

Do you have a Microcenter near you? Their prices are usually the best I’ve found. They have some shippable gaming laptops that just barely miss the specs or price target you have from what I saw but it’s worth looking into.
