it doesn't really make sense to tax long-term capital gains as income, especially under a progressive system. if I hold an asset for ten years and then sell it, a significant part of the nominal gain will be due to inflation (though th

if you receive stock as compensation, it is taxed as income. if the stock wildly appreciates after that event (and is later sold), it is capital gains.

it's unreasonable for me to ask even as a private citizen? I like cash too and frequently use it. I'm really just curious here. under what set of beliefs would it make sense to transport $82k cash across the country just to open a

that's not really the same thing. the football player didn't realize a loss in any of those years, at least not in the same way that a company can. they just made less money over time. the real difference here is there are no marg

it shouldn't have any bearing on whether the TSA confiscates it, but it's a reasonable question to ask. I too wonder why it makes sense to transport $82k in cash just to open up a new bank account. if you just walk into the branch

I'd guess the type of person who would trash a public restroom is also pretty likely to just relieve themselves in the street after being banned. not sure what problem this solves.

I know you only said "partially by efficiency", but the other part is pretty important. another goal of sealing the building is to align the moisture and thermal barriers with each other. this is important, because this is how you

regarding #2, the math isn't necessarily clear at all. I actually have no idea how much my health insurance costs. my employer isn't required to fill that box on my W-2, so they don't. I'm mostly convinced that the avera

yes, I grew up in baltimore and have lived in/around the city most of my life. I'm very familiar with the neighborhoods we are discussing. the city is much less safe than it was ten years ago, and that is really saying something.

I didn't realize they now had a performance model, thanks for sharing. tbh I'm probably going rwd on my next car (very interested in the new brz/86), but I'll keep it in mind.

none of those numbers fully describe the performance of a CPU, but idk why you would be "skeptical" of frequency numbers in particular. IPC itself is somewhat arbitrary. in the real world, IPC constantly varies with the mix of ins

it doesn't really make sense for dell to offer a choice between T and non-T for the same model. the only reason to use a T part is to stay under a power/TDP budget.

F means it lacks an IGP. in a certain sense you were right; the F variant sacrifices frequency for lower TDP vs a K variant. but there are also KF parts that are unlocked and also lack an IGP. and of course there's a different system e

uncommon in the sense that it probably won't happen on a particular day. but it will happen to you eventually if you walk around in the city. doesn't happen much in roland park, LP, and hampden, but I don't really agree on th

last time I drove a corolla was several years ago, probably a 2017 model. it wasn't an awful car, but to me, it felt like a step down in driving dynamics over the tdi I was forced to get rid of. I believe that model made about the same

you probably won't get murdered, but if you live in any walkable area of baltimore for a long time it's pretty likely you'll get mugged. source: everyone I know that's lived there more than five years.

mass shootings are a very small fraction of gun homicides that receive disproportionate coverage. if mass shootings stopped overnight, you would barely notice a change in the US homicide rate.

people in baltimore don't kill each other for fun. at least, usually not. more often, it's related to their line of work.

the media was pretty rough on bush jr too. the trump coverage was more sensational, but idk how much of that is the man himself and how much is just the current style of journalism.

you also have to ask "reliable compared to what?". my first car was a golf tdi. the only maintenance cost was the annual service. it never got close to 100k miles though because vw had to buy it back from me in the dieselgate sett

depends how you drive. if I try, I find it pretty easy to beat the epa highway rating on most cars. if you're not paying attention, it's also really easy to get poor efficiency out of the turbocharged low-displacement engines that

is this a rebuttal or an agreement? I think the point of the example was that most people can't rigorously defend their strongly held opinions. they just throw gotchas at each other.

so depending on how you phrase that question, it can be perceived as an insult. it almost implies that, by default, an atheist wouldn't have a moral compass. I'm not saying you think that, just that it's a plausible interpret

if there's enough evidence to justify an arrest, you're not going to talk your way out of it. even if you're innocent, it's much more likely you say something that makes the officer decide to arrest you.

so first of all, there's really no way mac and cheese is healthy unless you serve it with a side of brussels sprouts. it's comfort food. aside from that, I think there must be some regional price differences here. a box of annie&#

I'm kinda embarrassed to admit that annie's shells with white cheddar is better than any mac and cheese I've made from scratch. and I've tried a lot of recipes.
