I get the impression that unless you’re going through an auction house or selling super high-profile items, there’s no 1099-Misc or whatever going to the IRS - in other words, cash sales and unreported.

Thanks, that's more stunning than the ink drawing made of it. Far more detail than what I could see in the drawing.

Premium costs vary by state. When I last looked (three years ago?) my bronze plan was $1600/mo with high deductible. It was higher than that six years ago. The affordability exemption started to alleviate me of the tax penalty once the

I want medicare for all (or at least wish that people could figure that out, in a workable way - probably not possible until international defense spending takes a huge haircut, meaning a very different world order), but I also don't t

Obamacare created new gaps that absolutely sucked - made over 58k and self employed? No subsidies for you and paying a skyrocketing premium higher than any reasonable home mortgage with a 10k deductible. Completely unrealistic. And then the

Yes, and that data stops the grouping of household income at $87k and higher, which isn’t really that high of a floor, and is telling in itself. There are no further breakouts, such as 87-100, 100-200, 200+ because it would presumably be in

The vaccine doesn’t make claims - let’s not anthropomorphize it. The drug companies, public policy authorities, and politicians make claims. Here’s a link from Pfizer themselves talking about the vaccine *preventing* COVID infection, not ju

My experience with the saved convos in Outlook from SfB was kinda hit or miss, but you're totally right. Teams doesn't even try. Or I suppose, Teams does store your chat history in the mailbox, but it's not in a folder that&#

Webex, really? Didn’t the zoom people leave Cisco to make a better Webex? The only people I know still using webex are the feds. Honestly I don’t have issues with teams voice and video, it seems largely commodity at this point, though zoom

When Teams came out it didn’t have feature parity with SfB, despite their claims that it did, but here in 2022, it does. At least I can’t think of a sing feature in SfB that’s not in Teams now, and can think of many features that have been

I was in the habit of getting games via shareware, through one of the common catalogs then - yep, an actual paper catalog of shareware games you could order for price of shipping, or close enough. They were cheap and I was entertained by th

Nothing stops a local government, to my knowledge, or a state government from raising minimum wage for the unique conditions their locale faces and the ideals they want to reflect. People too often think about federal minimum wage, but thin

“Fools for relying on Russian energy in the first place.” This is a tough one. Yes, but at same time there was and still is a long term benefit to normalizing Russia’s identity as a “Western” power. That’s a long haul project and Germany&#x

I think we need to acknowledge that no “red line” implied by NATO’s mutual defense pact has been crossed yet (to my knowledge). I think there are instincts and interests champing at the bit for any pretext to engage with Russia using the li

A half-hearted proxy war, perhaps. It’s hard to ask US citizens to make real sacrifices (who, beyond symbolism and sympathy, probably don’t give a practical shit about Ukraine - specifically, very few are interested in sending family membe

I’ll try: “Don’t trip the most obvious trigger for ww3 until all avenues for sanctions, embargoes, and boycotts have been exhausted. This obviously includes stopping gas purchases from Russia.” But as D’s A, I would wonder where this stops.

Sounds like the logical thing to do is start desiring a different place with sounder housing/zoning policy. Voting with your feet is a thing when you can’t win at the ballot box.

I wonder if you could find exemptions for refugees. Seem to be a lot of those lately. Not ignoring the sad irony of this, but if you want to put that space to use there may some allowable loopholes.

You abuse the pronoun “we” - I consider him a heroic figure, highly flawed, plus - for better and worse - symbolic of the opening of the new world, totally acknowledging the negative impacts. ..And have zero problem with statues of the g

Sorry, 30 years ago (1992) the PC already had Wolfenstein 3D and Ultima VII. It was mind-blowing, but all the good games were already on the PC platform with some Amiga die-hards still lamenting the tragedy of their platform’s fading releva

Even the shortcuts on Mac are different for Excel. Sounds crazy (maybe is crazy) but that’s a jarring blow to productivity and surely intentional. If you have used excel for any length of time, you really depend on shortcuts. I probably sto
