JFC, as somebody that’s in a dozen different partner programs just so I can offer products if I need to doing side hustles I could probably make a decent living just being a VAR that sells you what you ask for and leaves you the hell alone.

Also stop getting rid of paper towels if you still have manual faucets. Nothing grosses me out more than going to a public restroom with only air dryers, but manually operated faucets that now require you use clean hands to turn off after y

Here in Idaho traditional ICE vehicles need emissions testing every few years after a certain age, but hybrids, PHEV’s and BEV’s are exempt. No other inspection required to renew your tags every year.

That's what happens with suburban sprawl that runs rampant in America. Property taxes in the majority of the country do not cover maintenance+replacement costs of infrastructure, relying on perpetual growth and debt to keep older roads

You might want to go check the match of the big tech companies again. Google: Greater of 100% up to $3000, or 50% up to contribution limit (whichever is greater) Amazon: 50% up to 4%, vests after 3 years Microsoft: 50% up to contribution li

Well, that's because the US Treasury only mints the coins - the Fed banks buy them. All US currency in circulation is ultimately issued by the US Federal Reserve, they just don't physically make all of it.

For now - do you think 7+% CPI inflation is going to persist for 2, 3, or 5 years? What if the Fed manages to tame the beast and we go back down to our average 2% inflation we had for the prior decade? If you're going long on persisten

There's certainly a lot of use of it, but it's painfully obvious when they do so. I think with some more time and practice many studios could make it harder to tell the difference - but it might negate a lot of the cost savings (m

It’s MSCHF, stirring up controversy is kind of their gimmick - I assume they set aside money to deal with legal issues, especially given the premise of “anyone who bought a shirt from the company that sent us a C&F first wins”.
