The Scaramucci is a complex number, because while he might have worked 11 days, he got fired before his contract started, so his total days of employment is weirdly negative.

Also he missed the birth of one of his children and got served divorce papers in those same days.

I think we can all learn something important from the amazing fuck up that Scaramucci achieved in such short time: Don’t do coke.

The guy changed too. It looks like the slop engine put a touch of Mr. Beast on his face.

They do prevent a lot water bottles and belt buckles that would otherwise be a serious threat to the safety of good law-abiding citizens.

Orbital sanders trip me out every time. I want to lift it off and put it away sideways like any other tool but orbital sander goes “lol dude you can’t do that”.

And in Japanese you add the o in the middle: Sand-o-wich

I started looking into food gardening back when covid began. I’m not anywhere near being self sufficient in vegetables, and the price can barely compete with stores, but I’ve learned a lot and it really tastes a lot better. That alone is worth the effort.

There’s something like this near me. It’s not a vending machine but just a freezer container where you can take stuff and self-service the check-out using a phone. It’s not cheaper than in the stores, but I guess it’s more fresh, since they load it straight from the ships.

Maybe there are as many different Linux users as there are Photoshop alternatives.

At least 2-3…I mean, some day, there will be as many Linux users.

Tipping in percent. Seems almost too metric. How many quarters to the foot gallon is that?

The cheap version without a fancy faucet is if your coffee machine is close enough to do that while turning on the faucet, the wire from the coffee machine can probably also reach over the sink, so you can hold the coffee machine under the regular faucet.

You can’t include Georgetown as no.10.

The list is explicitly 9 most common town names. Maybe it’s due to being at the bottom of the page, but nevertheless, the array can only hold 9 values.

This only seems magical because you forgot your infantile experiences in doing just those things.

I bet you know what it would feel like to bite into a wooden desk.

Is this related to the cravings for certain food?

It’s no wonder everyone’s getting new cars here.

Electricity is about a quarter of that for the same mileage.

Using the current prices and my own mileage, it would take 5 years to finance a new car only by the savings on fuel.

In my experience those don’t trigger the age verification.

Yeah, companies still do that regardless of the rate.

As for understanding progressive taxation, I think the easiest way to explain it is simply to ask how much money you’d have after taxes. It always pays off to make more money. Perhaps show a XY diagram with income and income after taxes. There’s no magic bracket where the graph goes downwards.

It’s worth noting that the tax rate might be 90, but the effective taxation is a much lower percentage of the earnings.

Corporate Tax is calculated after costs, while personal tax is calculated more or less directly on earnings and then you need to cover your costs from whatever remains. This might explain the confusion.

Nah. I’ve seen larger women.

It can be difficult to just stop a stupid habit like that.

My solution was to go on a skiing holiday. Wearing gloves for a week and being away from my ordinary routine definitely helped.

It’s easier to take off a scuba suit if you don’t need it, than to put one on if you need it but don’t have one.
