$180 is crazy, even for the US - for less than $100 I'm getting 1GB symmetric (which in practice has been a true 1Gb down, ~300mb up). Then again, I am currently lucky enough to be able to choose between a hone company and a cable com

Yes, those docs are filed with the IRS, but charitable contributions, child status (are they dependents or not this year?), expenses (home office, side hustle, property management etc), and many other things aren't. If all your tax ret

There was an error merging PDFs. Not very helpful, can you tell me what the error was or how to avoid it?

Curling without brooms isn’t curling. That’s like saying a robot beat Tom Brady at QB, but there were no defenders trying to sack it.

This looks interesting, but I’m always leery any time I don’t see any photos of the product - the linked article and it’s source both just have drawings. That’s kinda concerning.

Say I have $1m in dirty money. I buy an NFT for $1, then use the dirty money to ‘buy’ the NFT from myself for $1m (through an anonymous cutout, like a crypto bank), and now I have a clean $1m. Bonus points, as now a lot of people think the

It’s fine to hand-dig a well when the water table is 2-3m below grade, but when it’s 20-30 or more, you really need to have it bored. That said - if you’re ok hauling in water, you don’t need either.
