He’s not “royal blood” the crown prince is his step dad.

Alternate title:

Give the government $30 to stop violating your civil liberties

A US Citizen in PR cannot vote. A US Citizen resident in a foreign country can.

This is regardless of where you are born, but in which US territory you last resided (eg proper state, Puerto Rico, etc)

Yeah front crawl is not the most energy intense. Do Butterfly and report back.

The article left out that they weren’t asking for cats and dogs but things like rabbits. If the rabbits procreate and can’t be given a home, what alternative is there? Euthanize them and bury them? Cremate them?

This will lead to the majority of the state getting full say and suppressing minority views. This can be political, racial, etc.

California has a large Republican population. If it goes state wide they get zero voice as the full state will go blue.

These days I’m kinda fine with that, but in principle this is wrong. The same suppression logic can be spread to ethnic groups, etc.

One of the main complications in the US is the racial mix. Looking at party lines and geographic boundaries is an over simplification

Say 20% of the population is black, and the state has five reps. Two neighboring cities each have 30% black population, and enough population to have two of the five reps. The rest are dispersed in rural areas. Do you draw that each city gets one rep? Or do you draw such that a district has a majority of black residents, with funny boundaries to accommodate the geography?

The former means that you will more likely end up with a white representative for both cities and the voice of the black community are not heard in the legislative body. The latter means that you have now gerrymandered to ensure a group gets a voice they deserve.

This is the real pain in the ass about the whole thing. Some level of drawing stupid districts is needed to create good. Pure geographically created boundaries will only cause segregation if we want minority groups to have an equal voice in the legislature.

But, people in power tend to fuck everything up.

The right to gleefully split infinitives.

Especially also when you’re using them to be facetious.

He’s “talented”.

I only have option 2, and would like option 1. But I can still open varying amounts, depending if it’s extra windy or not. The slide bar had adjustable tension.

More specifically, you pay tax first to the country where the income was generated, and are usually tax liable to the country you are resident in.

Typically taxation treaties prevent double taxation, but the net result is you will usually get hit with the equivalent of the highest tax across jurisdictions.

I’ll offer a near miss.

Chat amongst colleagues over a coffee, the topic was something very normal and mundane: how lazy are we about cooking.

My colleague Carol said, “sometimes I just throw some chicken nuggets in the toaster because I don’t care or have the energy”

My response I intercepted between the brain and mouth: “living the bachelor lifestyle, carol?”

Carol’s husband had died quite suddenly 6 months prior. I didn’t fuck up, but I almost did and it haunts me still over a decade later.

Lol I’m going to call bullshit.

You mean to tell me that all of Denmark, with the exception of Fyn, is absolute nuclear, but Fyn is stem?

Does not compute.

My situation is I have an ability to recall a lot of really old information and some of it seemingly mundane. I can also synthesize all this together to make a good decision quickly.

This is basically what learning is, but it’s a broader base I can pull from and the process is just faster.

I don’t do well with forcing specific information to be cataloged. This means I wasn’t a great student in classes where you needed to just remember things (eg history).

The other thing I’ve got going for me is being able to visually see things in my head. It might be memories, but it’s also things for solving problems like this https://www.intelligencetest.com/questions/visualization/medium/3/8.html

I’m gonna fuck a waffle, marry pancakes, and kill french toast.

Like who even invited french toast to breakfast.

Yeah it’s really there to guide how fucked up it can be and not really be mega prescriptive. It’s not like quantities are on there, either.

Ideally a fire department shows up, sees the signs and then gets in contact with the building owner to start being more specific about what’s ahead of them before they just start dumping a ton of water on the building.

Section 4.2.3.3 of NFPA 704 guides how to handle multiple chemicals.

You can combine the worst of each category into a composite, list each individually, or do a hybrid option.

The posts saying there are two chemicals are true but likely incomplete… There are probably several different chemicals and they decided to go with the hybrid method.

My guess is that they combined the worst rating of everything that doesn’t need special handling, and have a stand alone for the chemical that is incompatible with water (or even combined for several chemicals that are incompatible with water).

My personal thoughts are:

• Close carried interest loop holes
• Tax loans against unrealized gains on securities and physical property (excluding ones primary residence). You should not be able to take a billion dollar loan out to avoid capital gains taxes. I’m fine that this raises the basis for when the asset is sold. Well, someone do the math if there’s a loophole this creates? But hopefully my intent is clear.
• Social security and Medicare tax applies to all income. Shares granted as part of compensation should also have social taxes payable on grant.
• Increase the tax brackets above the current max of 37% for income above $609k… Every 250kish above should increase by 2% until you reach 50% (about 2.5m)

That money should then be used for:

• Increasing social security payouts
• Expanding medicare access
• Increasing the limits for the tax brackets on the progressive scale for incomes below 250k

To boost the bottom:

• Stock buybacks are illegal except for the purposes of distributing stock to employees. This counts for executives but cannot exceed some multiple of their cash salary
• 20% of money flagged as dividend payments to shareholders should be distributed to employees as profit sharing into their retirement account. There needs to be rules around the max differential between the highest and lowest disbursement.

Did that with star wars ep 7, 8, 9. Of course there was stuff I didn’t love but I didn’t walk away from the movie feeling robbed.
