And the Willy’s jeeps!

No wonder American men can never find that - we need to import more German cars

I don’t generally find any tab. I work with the set related to my task then close them. The tabs for the previous task are right there, so I can just continue that task until completed, then close those tabs.

It partly works, but I don’t always close tabs for interruptions and aren’t always able to work my way back to uncompleted tasks, so it builds up.

I want to start using workspaces or tab groups to improve my discipline but haven’t yet

Edit: and yes there are times when I don’t remember I started a task or can’t find my set of tabs so open a new set.

And no, multiple windows was a horrible idea. Instead of making it easier to organized tab sets, it made it easier to open many more tabs

I have close to 200. Every task I start has a new set of tabs. In theory I’ll complete them and work my way back through the stack

And before anyone thinks we should try the new irs now that auditing and collections have been purged, that won’t work for us. The vast majority of us have long since faced automated auditing. The computers are still there.

It’s only the wealthy with vastly more complex tax situations requiring teams of auditors to look at, that now have more opportunity to cheat on their taxes

Nope, you’re the only one who knows what’s going on!

I was repeating the number from the person I replied to - it did cross my mind that there’s a higher bracket, but I took the number - the existence of one more bracket doesn’t really change anything. Why do the brackets end when there are so many people so much wealthier? While I understand wealthy people tend to get money through other types of income, and that’s an even bigger issue, we should have more brackets. It seems like everyone agrees to have a partly progressive income tax (disregarding other types of income) with brackets so wealthier people pay a higher percentage, it shouldn’t end at what may be considered the lowest income of the wealthy.

Edit: 37%

Certainly a bigger problem is how someone who can afford over $1M private jet would be in only the 35% bracket

It’s not too bad as long as you’re not a dick about it. One year I marked myself as head of household instead of single. I’m not even sure why I did it. I only thought “huh, this saved a lot on my taxes”, and really had no idea what I was doing. They sent back a correction and how much i owed. I paid and that was it. Not scary at all.

Of course in today’s world all about spite and punishment I could imagine it being much worse

Does it require them to itemize? Most cant

I can definitely see a preference for resolving over this

I started using Libby during pandemic and for a while I was reading more than I have in years! But the wait times got me. As I read more of the easy choices, my typical wait time got longer and longer until I lost interest again

I definitely get this, but sometimes I decide it must be meant as a joke because it’s easier to respect them as a person if it is

Even for ebooks, libraries are limited to how many they can lend out, plus the ebook has an imposed end of life.

I’ve read claims that ebooks are more expensive for libraries than physical books, because of those limitations

Right, it’s so much simpler: just start calling it trumpcare. You can put some ceremony around it, let the taco spout word salad onstage, and have a signing ceremony. If the right people tell Trump it was his idea, he’d probably believe it

Plus personal data on all employees and quite likely personal data on all citizens

You give him too much credit for seeing inefficiency. It was simply “gov is too expensive. We need massive layoffs”.

What were those new taxes? Here we’re only talking an additional 2% on top of whatever nyc s state and local tax is that could be what 15%? Noticeable but not a dramatic change

Not really but I do believe it’s the future. For any future devices, Matter/Thread is my preference.

But of course using HA means you don’t have to limit yourself. Both my Zigbee and zwave meshes are solid.

I did have a conversation with a friend a few months back who asked what I recommended. It’s tough because

• Matter/Thread is rolling out very slowly so you can’t really count on it yet.
• always avoid WiFi with vendor portals
• is it worth it for a newcomer to invest in Zigbee or zwave?

I don’t think the federal standards ever restricted anything additive. It was always more like minimum standards and equal opportunity. Even with standardized tests, you’re just setting minimum standards. It’s only a problem if you don’t teach those.

So Oklahoma teaching white power will fail to meet minimum standards or equal opportunity, but California adding climate change education is just better education
