I would agree with this except that I don’t have faith that it won’t be leveraged as a way to get out of a whole crapload of taxes. I’m pretty sure that unemployment insurance, and a lot of the federal taxes, are based on wages and not tips. Also what is the limit? Can I pay my friend $50 to mow my lawn and tip him an extra $25,000, just so I can get around the limit for a gift tax? I wouldn’t trust a Republican administration to implement this without making it easier for Rick people to avoid paying taxes.

I thought it was JD “Wentworth” Vance…

It still bothers me 30 years later that in the DC vs Marvel, Wolverine beat Lobo… Shouldn’t have happened to someone that beat up Superman because a guy at a bar said he couldn’t…

Just use Snapraid & MergerFS. No special Hardware required and you don’t need to change what is on your disks.

This is the best answer I’ve seen in this whole thread. You’re right that the key is not needed. Microsoft identified your system components and did the original activation based on the hardware you’ve got on your computer. All you need to do to bring back a licensed copy of Windows is to reinstall it.

New Caledonia is part of France, it’s not a different country. If you are a New Caledonian, you are a French citizen.

On Debian, you have to be root or a sudoer. Those commands are there, just not in the path of regular users.

He didn’t post a $5M Bond. He put up cash. Makes you wonder if the companies that provide bonds may consider him to risky to bond.

Probably not that deep. I’ve heard there are definitely discounts. That doesn’t count for much though when it still increases your cost 6x.

To be fair to the Dune universe, the reason they used swords was because shields made projectile weapons useless and Lasguns and shields just killed everyone (like a mini-nuke on both sides).

I don’t think I appreciated God Emperor until after my 4th read through of the series. Frank Herbert definitely has a great insight into the human condition. Soul Catcher and The Godmakers come to mind most readily but his entire body of work explore different facets of humankind.

Do you think Jason Momoa knows what role he got into?

At first I thought this might be a hilarious dig on Canada since they haven’t won the cup since 1993… not sure if you’re serious.

This honestly sounds like the best solution to this particular problem.

Based on my experience, this honestly sounds like a VA policy. I’m on Bupropion through the VA (for possibly similar reasons as you’d want Vyvanse) and they are particularly stingy about it, only giving me a 30 day supply at a time.

Even with a different provider at the VA, you may get the same result.

Yes they will get paid eventually. They put that into law after 2019. If you are furloughed, you cannot use leave. Even if you are emergency essential and still working during the shutdown, I don’t believe that you can be paid for leave (but you can still take it if it was scheduled before the shutdown).

Just make sure it’s RFC 2324 compliant. You don’t want it throwing any HTTP 418 error messages.

If you’re having power on issues, I would make sure you are using a standalone power brick. I’ve used a Surface Pro for work and I’ve found that sometimes when connected to the docking station, it wouldn’t power on. When connected to a standalone power brick it usually would. For a standalone power brick, I’ve used both the one that came with the Surface and also a 65W USB-C adapter with a USB-C to Surface per cable.

To your point, geostationary satellites are in orbits around 22,300 miles away while Starlink is in a LEO orbit ~342 miles away. At the speed of light, that’s an additional quarter second round trip time minimum. Absolutely forever in internet speeds. My experience with GEO is a latency >550ms round trip. With the TCP/IP protocol built the way it is (aka, three-way handshake), a webpage wouldn’t even start downloading until almost 2 seconds have passed.

They do, but it doesn’t quite work like that. If someone who has 15 years in leaves and comes back any time after, they start at 15. The time they were gone doesn’t count, but all federal time is aggregated at the end (except for military time which has it’s own rules).
