If we're talking actual functional tanks, then they're expensive as shit to buy, and expensive as shit to drive.

Agree totally, which is why I just said "make hits at 300-400 yards", because I strongly suspect they won't cover anything beyond basic marksmanship in a total of a week. If we're nitpicking, I'm talking about lying

Anecdotally it can take more time to teach someone who has non-zero experience if that experience has bad habits attached

Ok, it does not though. I have taught people with no experience and it takes <10 hours to get to making hits at 300-400 yards. Basic maintenance takes even less time to teach

I mean.... enough to make shots on target at about 300-400 yards with a sling, and enough to make shots on target at about 50 yards while standing up. I do competitive bullseye rifle, and I've done some basic marksmanship coaching. Th

For programmers it wasn't that big of a deal. Maybe some electronics purchases were no longer deductible, or a little bit of software, etc. Home office could be sizeable. Some other professional got royally screwed - e.g. a concert v

Prior to TCJA there were a wider range of allowed deductions for W2 workers. You would not be able to (legally) do that today

To me it seems like the majority of recruiters barely read past company name and job title. I switched from Dev to SRE at the same company, and within like one week of remembering to update LinkedIn job title, the random recruiter messages

Your bank or brokerage may be required to ask about your income, every so often. KYC/AML laws. If it's anyone other than your bank or brokerage, that seems pretty weird and sketchy.

I think GP means flag as in flag state - ocean vessels are typically to some country. In this sense, nearly all submarines are flagged - US navy, Russian navy, whatever. Not as in a literal flag flying on the submarine. (Though they do fl

I suspect that GP"s "everyone can file free" is talk about Free File Fillable Forms, not TurboTax Which is free for nearly everyone, but is only marginally better than paper filing your own taxes.

I think GP's point isn't necessary "with vs without tax break", it's "with vs without giant future increase in electricity price"

It is a non trivial problem to do just that. It's related to the same problems you have with e.g. Sybil attacks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sybil_attack I'm not saying it wouldn't be worthwhile to try

Depending on the wheel, maybe. Nowadays it's more standardized - same rims for example. The tires are standardized. There's a lot less freedom in reinventing the wheel in formula 1 nowadays https://www.formula1-dictio

Yea not birth certificates from the hospital, but there is documentation. Well, there was for awhile. My grandpa definitely didn't have a birth certificate back in the 1930s (or 1920s? lol) in Taishan, but also no docs of any sort wh

SLA monetary penalties won't make the difference there. Enough giant customers moving substantial workload off of AWS (either to another cloud, or otherwise) would, but the timeline for that is years, not next quarter.
