I have a good amount of bee-friendly flowers that are visited daily in the spring and summer by our local bee populations, it is very much “build it and they will come”. If I had a bigger yard I would host a couple hives of my own, I love j

I mean, the general design is fine, the UX kind of sucks though. systemctl stop/start/restart/reload/enable/disable is a lot easier to grok than launchctl.

Keybase, outside of the distributed bit along with the question of their future, provides zero-knowledge git repositories (they’ve literally got no idea what is in your repositories, including metadata).

Sure, if you have a premium product you can justify those rates - but your market is also shockingly small for said premium product. There's literally only two reasons for paid DM's to exist - A) they offer said premium experience

Do you know what edition of D&D you were playing? 4e was heavily focused around gridded combat and it turned many players off, as tactics and math overshadowed the role playing. If you haven’t given 5e a try yet, do so - it’s substantia

I live in ID and work remotely for a CA-based company. I get paid from the same EIN that people working in the CA office do. Yes, they had to file as a foreign entity and that also means a registered agent in the state, but they also have t

This is ultimately what I’m questioning though. If I work for a MA based company, how do they have any claim to a portion of my income when I have no residency status there? States aren’t allowed to tax interstate commerce, after all, and n

While I consider this bullshit, they claim that authority based on your status as a US Citizen. Your state of domicile has similar claims to income made from out-of-state sources.

Interesting, I’m not quite certain how a state has the authority to tax residents of another state to begin with. Anyone have some case law on the subject handy? EDIT: I’d like to add in purely talking about W-2 or 1099 income tax. There ar

DRS is a hack that is necessary because of the current downforce-heavy aero designs of cars (which is why current F1 cars can still break lap records even though they are slower in many straights than their older siblings). Here’s hoping th

Halo 5, Warzone REQ packs could be a money sink for certain kinds of players. Personally, I haven’t spent a dime on the game except the initial purchase - but it really soured the community that one could spend real money on power weapons.
