Funny I also have a Dolin and a Noilly Prat in my fridge, sitting open for months/years. When the bottle is new, I sometimes have a bit of vermouth on ice, but not when it’s older. Recently I’ve been sneaking in amaro instead of the vermouth. I do like the taste of vermouth, especially the ones they serve (on the rocks) in restaurants in Barcelona. But I agree that the lighter the taste the better for mixing.

Can we have an !explainthejoke?
(No fr that sub was the strongest proof of dead internet theory)

Right. It’s not like they can on paper move their assets to whatever organization, estate, jurisdiction, subsidiary, shell company, offshore account, or arcane vehicles we never heard of, to avoid paying wealth taxes!

Edit: I’m not saying that a wealth tax for extremely high net worth individuals would be a bad thing. I would support that. I’m just saying that a wealth tax would never be enough to rein in the wealth and power of an oligarch, because they would be able to evade it.

I’m in Neuroscience. My favorite way to keep up is rss feeds of the 5 best journals (100-200 titles per week), rss feeds to the relevant pubmed search terms (20-50 titles per week) an google scholar email alerts to some of the most relevant researchers in my field, auto forwarding to kill the newsletter, and read through rss (50-100 titles per week, lots of duplicates). So every day I aim to open the rss reader and burn down the unread count. Papers that are really relevant to my research tend to show up 4-5 times over 2 weeks this way, so it’s hard to miss it. Which journals: you know that if you have been in the field for a while, if not, ask your colleagues and mentors where they publish and what they read.
Bad papers sliding through the cracks: it happens, you don’t know unless you read it.

Good job! It sucks to be poor but it can also be difficult to do just a little better than the rest of the family. They can think like “you always have it easy” and assume you can easily afford anything they can’t or don’t want to pay for.

So do I understand correctly that the top income tax bracket is 0% today? Or is this just another shitty ragebait headline. Oligarchs shouldn’t exist, but almost none of their money comes from wages or capital gains anyways, so any polemics about income tax are mostly meaningless for this issue. Any type of wealth tax is fairly trivial to evade at that level.
The only thing that would work would be to enforce existing anti fraud laws to prevent oligarchs from gaining power in the first place, as well as convicting them for the white collar crimes they commit open daylight, and use fines as a way to get some of the absurd concentration of wealth out of the system.

Maybe there is a FOSS self hosted solution for mixing good old tv ads into the mix!

Thanks for the fun fact, it totally makes sense, I never thought about that!

And the hopelessly hardcore type: kill the end boss 1000 times.

If you get all the achievements for completing the game, what are achievements actually for? They are there to create fun or not so fun challenges above just completing the game. It’s not like someone will punish you if you leave some achievements incomplete. On the other hand, completing a tough one can feel like - an achievement!

Can someone familiar with it give a brief rundown of what this organization is? I looked at the website but didn’t get much of the specifics.

Oh man I feel for you, you are really patient. These guys will never engage with your argument because apparently “there are multiple types of games on Steam” is too much nuance to process…

I mean, that’s a video of a dude in a costume, did someone didn’t know that? In a way it’s amusing how a shitty prank like this can live in the collective consciousness for 5 decades.

I look at your post with a bit of suspicion- do you want to learn something, or do you just want to talk negatively about America and provoke others to join in? There are terrible and absolutely fantastic schools from infant care to postgraduate education. Many of the world’s best universities are in America. About half of the students in those universities come from American schools. The US has by far the highest number of Nobel laureates, many of whom immigrated after previous education abroad, but not all.
While it is difficult to say anything general about K12 education in a continent-spanning country consisting of 50 states, I wouldn’t summarize it in one word as “crap”.

I think I am principled in some things and not so much in others. Reddit has nothing to do with it. I left Reddit because it was no longer fun. I don’t want to scroll reposts of engagement bait and read the dumbest bot comments under it. I would happily keep using it if it was fun.

I use self hosted baserow free tier at work and no issues in 3 years. Why does it not work for you? My only complaint is the API can’t use the views that exist on the web interface.

What a crap headline. Of course neither the US government nor or the fed nor the treasury is insolvent. The national debt is a large number, has been for a long time, and can be an even bigger number forever. Has nothing to do with insolvency. The fed will always be able to conjure money out of thin air so there can’t even exist a situation in which the government is insolvent. Whether the world economy will forever cherish the dollars they print as a reserve currency is a different question (no it won’t ), and something that deserves scrutiny and public attention. But stupid fearmongering articles like this don’t add anything of value to that discussion.

OP is asking about an accident and responsibility, not a trolley problem.
You pretend AVs can’t make mistakes just face difficult choices. That’s false.
You also pretend AVs are safer than human drivers. Nobody knows if that’s true so let’s not pretend it is.

Moving to a new country is a big change in so many ways. You probably shouldn’t do it for the lulz. Do you have a good reason to move to a specific place? Is there a unique career opportunity, a unique natural resource or community for one of your hobbies, a very important friend or family member living there? Those could be good reasons.
If you have your reasons, bite the bullet, rent a container, and take your stuff with you. Even better if your new employer covers relocation expenses.

It would be important for people to understand that what separates good people from bad people is decency and basic human kindness, not political ideology. In reality, the good people are in the center, and the bad people are on the extremes. Yet, due to the polarization of public discourse, a left leaning person may be convinced that the good people are to the left, and the bad people are to the right from them. If they keep drifting towards the extreme, and keep thinking that everyone to the right is a bad person, eventually they will hate all the decent people in the center, while everyone still to the left from them is an actual monster. Needless to say, the same goes for people who start right leaning and keep drifting to the right. I wish more people realized that the enemies are the crazies on either side, not the moderates on the other side.
