Me too! Brutus has horrible vertical tab labels that force you to turn your head 90 deg to read them.

It was very easy to find wills for my deceased relatives however in trying to set up an account to see my national insurance record it wants a UK postcode that I do not have since I have lived abroad for many years.

When creating a layout use of symmetry makes it easy to ensure the track will line up and fit in a zero-tension closed loop of whatever shape. So if you add a piece to the track with an initial direction, add the same piece to any point tha

You can disguise the taste a bit by making a shandy (50/50 beer and 7up or British lemonade) or any fruit juice or squash you like. My dad always said beer is an acquired taste.

No - complex is what we have. I'm suggesting tax preparers offer a useful service and if government provides free tax prep it would be subsidized with higher taxes. Tax prep companies are no worse than insurance companies would you hav

The checks and balances system makes it hard to change things e.g. guns. But not impossible, e.g. Obamacare.

The complex tax code created by the government is the only reason they exist in the first place.

It's paying tax most people hate. The tax prep companies just make it a bit less painful for a fee. We have the complex tax code we voted for. Simplifying it is great - just don't take away my deductions!!

And what happens if your taxes are so complex you can't file and get a refund or even if it takes you a week to figure them out. I'm all for simplifying the tax code but we have what we voted for.

Then file your own taxes no need to pay for convenience.

Why have any capitalism? Because the alternatives like communism are disastrous. If we want a complex tax system tax prep companies serve a useful function.

Maybe a compromise that would keep both sides happy is for the government free file program to apply only to those who owe tax, but if you want a refund you have to pay for tax prep. Would maximize both tax and tax prep company revenue.

There are ways to house yourself cheaply in California such as in San Jose mobile home parks with rent controlled space rents around $1000/month that are roughly equivalent to taxes on a SFH. 1500 sq ft mobile home costs about 1/4

I think it may be that you are just not yet familiar with a few common front end idioms. I am sure most front end developers would be at least as out of their depth in the back end (spoken as a 30+ year front ender). Populating a display wi

There's a much better classical model of electron orbits as spherical fluid spinning shells or "orbitspheres" that have motion along all great circle routes. https://brilliantlightpower.com/atomic-theory/

This is a bit like the way San Jose grew out of fruit orchards driven by tech firms in the 50s, 60s and 70s. Interesting that there is more thought about urban design going in. The land is mostly rolling grassland hills studded with windmil

As well as keeping up with the latest front end framework(s) which rather like the expanding universe accelerates over time, it may be worth learning a speciality like security or performance or testability. Are you interested in management

Software is often obsolete quickly and at the same time it's more complex than the design of structures like bridges.

A quick decision is likely better than procrastination unless some germane info is likely to be forthcoming soon. But using a coin flip for everything is clearly pathological.

Would be nice to be able to use custom metrics or scripts or indicators for the various axes/features and then show a movie of the display over time. Do the stocks that take off appear randomly or do they exhibit similar behavior?

Seems reasonable for prop 13 to apply only to owner occupiers.

Well they always have that option. Prop 13 is about not forcing them out.
