I'd be for no questions asked UBI for every person if in response all other income was taxed. Same goes for universal health benefits.

Additionally, leaving the byproducts of the cracking process in place, complete with the laundry detergent the cracking chemicals were from also sounds like something they would do.
As of crack, yeah, using laundry detergents instead of proper isolates for chemical cracking agents sound EXACTLY like something one of these scumballs would do. Again, the proper chemicals may be cheaper but it takes effort to get them.
Yep, much cheaper. I'm talking the cheap chalk powder at the hardware store, or lawn and garden store, not the good stuff at the arts and craft supply store, chemistry supply outlet, bulk food product outlet or pharmacy. That said, laundry detergent can be grabbed at a convenient store.
Yeah, you should be barely paying taxes, not paying what you are paying now, and someone making 2-5 times your income should be paying a LOT more.
However, those making less then the cost of living should not have any income tax levied against them, and it is reasonable to add a generous amount on top of that that is also tax-free income.
Perhaps 10 times is a bit much. Twice the cost of living may be more appropriate.
This should be supplemented with luxury taxes, not general sales taxes.
Oh, you are referring to the current top tax bracket? No, the first $800,000 is taxed at a lower rate right now. The first $20,000-$50,000 depending on deductions is tax free right now. Way too little. It should be around $200,000-$300,000
Yes, most of the population should not pay income taxes. Only the most wealthy should.
Top brackets should be based on 4 year top 1 percentile, top 2 percentile, top 5 percentile and top 10 percentile threshold statistics of net taxable income. They should be rounded down to the nearest two significant digits.
This bottom bracket should be adjusted yearly. Specifically, it should be ten times the cost of living, rounded up to the nearest two significant digits. This makes for nice clean accounting.
A little reminder to people that the top tax bracket is ONLY on non-reinvested income over the incredibly high bracket limit. All the income below that was taxed at a much lower rate. Honestly, I think that ten times the cost of living should be the fixed "tax free income" bracket.
Brazil has seen frequent coup attempts, like many Latin American nations. There are accusations of some international corporations, governments and political organizations backing these coups but not enough solid evidence to do anything.
Not entirely removed. It is still in multi-dose vials, but it's level has been drastically reduced in those. Meanwhile single dose vaccines have none. Studies show no correlation between the use of the multi-dose vials and ASD.
More the easy access to them and the lack of proper respect and caution with them. However, guns and the culture surrounding them. Who knew the using violent machismo culture to sell guns would result in an increase of violent gun crime.
As well as Abagail X Maru 😏
I don't know. It is some sort of unknown language that the universal translators can't handle. The translator says it is an ancient earth international slang dialect from shortly before the Bell Riots.
You are tell me that designing a machine that will tell people what they want to hear will not yield correct answers? I'm SHOCKED!
Absolutely. Cats don't normally like dill pickle flavor. However, some cats are strange and break all the rules.
Funny thing, that is one of the few flavors of chips cats actually hate.
The way his comics were written, I almost wonder if he never interacted truthfully or empathically at all.
OMFG, it's like the companies are simply refusing to air content in Canada. As a note, most WWE stuff was Pay-Per-View in the US, so the switch to having it on Netflix is an improvement in accessability, but I think it should still be available Pay-Per-View on cable and other services.
BSD has not seen primary use for this in decades. Linux and FreeDOS have taken dominance.
I should say major Operating Systems. Some variants of BSD have raw floppy support, but a lot of it is in user-space via I/O sockets.
If they fail to make arrangements for subletting the rights, they will then lose all rights to any royalties for the period in which subletting is not able to be arranged. If this period extends for more than a year, they lose all rights to the property.
I think the only solution to this is a "Use it or lose it" law in copyright. If a company fails to keep an intellectual property reasonably accessible to the public, they lose exclusive rights and must sublet it at fair royalty pricing from then on.
Study history. Eat the rich. All day. Every day. Oppose capital. Oppose corruption. Help our neighbours to learn our common class interests. We are the 99%! Eat the rich asap obvsly 💪 #classsolidarity #antibillionaire #classconsciousness #anticapitalism
He is either dead or in the hospital. I wouldn't be surprised if it's for some scheduled minor thing and they didn't announce it because the poor snowflake didn't want to look weak.
Until Trump speaks publicly, I’m going to assume he’s incapable.
The other OS with raw floppy support is FreeDOS, but it does not have a complete raw access driver, but instead allows raw I/O directly to the controller. This makes programming floppy utilities that require raw access a lot harder.
Linux is one of two Operating Systems with raw floppy drive support. This has a vital role in archival purposes (reading and importing archaic floppy formats). This is vital for a huge number of reasons ranging from classic game emulation to importing decades old records.
I have to say I'm a sucker for Abagail or Maru.
Peanuts is a very high bar to hold any comic to. Still, point being, this is just sloppy, and reeks of a PR stunt.
Notably, many strains can infect certain rodents without causing rapid mental decline the way they would in pets, other larger mammals, and of course, humans.
The particular strains that affect cats and dogs are some of the most problematic. They are a nasty set that we have been unable to get rid of due to the frequent jumping between the stray population and various carriers.
For me it felt like it was written by an old man like Mr. Wilson. How he drew a black person only further solidifies this belief.
It was one of those things where the author tried to be non-racist, and ended up being more racist. How did he pull that off!
I mean, this is one of those situations of "Should we say that the thought counts when he should have spent half a minute consulting with actual black artists on the character design.
The worst part is: It was an honest mistake and intended to be an act of anti-racism, not an act of racism. I know, WTF man!
But I thought all those guns kept them safe!
Just have a group distract those cops with a couple dozen free doughnuts while a second group runs with a bunch of colored spray cans.
I doubt this will stop anyone. This will only encourage it.
Fake Trump avatar: Elon Musk has successfully uploaded my mind into an AI computer so that I can rule the US forever!
I hope he uses the remainder of his term wisely, now that he has no fears of various political groups damaging his campaign.
What a bunch of pathetic trolls. Don't they have anything better to do?
Considering that PCP was likely invented at a college, it is no surprise that it utilized such methods of extracting an active chemical monomer from a highly toxic compound via cracking.
I've always considered making a homebrew computer myself. "Standard homebrew platform" of course. Either 650x, eZ80 or 8080 based, with zero-turnover SRAM for core memory and a paged MMU for expanded memory (also SRAM, but the MMU would likely prevent zero-turnover.)
Also, the conflicting feelings of caffeine and alcohol can make people not know how drunk they are.
Needs Purple Thunder. Also needs hard cider as a horizontal line, as well as "cheap beer"
Also, we need one for Purple Thunder.
"Wine?" would be cheap fortified wine, wine coolers or a cheap wine liquor like Sangria.
I do know that cracking has been used to convert mildly hallucinogenic compounds into highly hallucinogenic compounds, and to break off the active compound from a poison compound to make a drug less poisonous. (PCP is made this way, as are a few other drugs in it's class.)
Chemical cracking of drugs long predates the use of it on cocaine. I'm honestly absolutely surprised that illegal drug dealers haven't done it with more drugs. (I won't name specific drugs as I don't want to give them ideas.)
Now crack, it can be used as a cheap chemical cracking agent when the proper ones aren't available. (Sometimes I fear that my ability to absorb every bit of information I come into contact with might be putting me on a lot of watch lists.)
Why put laundry detergent in coke when field marking chalk is so much cheaper?
Omg, just like Doug Ford!! (except I think Ford sold the crack variety...) See, Canada isn't completely unlike America...we both have politicians who learned people skills from dealers and addicts!! (Dealers will say ANYTHING to convince you they didn't put laundry detergent in your coke.) #onpoli
The later is why you will often get an antibiotic before and/or after a root canal. If you are vulnerable, said bacteria can infect you heart, lungs or other major organs as well.
Yep, any tooth abscess or swelling on the back molars (even the lower ones) causes swelling around the ear. Additionally, swelling can occur around the ear due to local anesthetic, and the freed bacteria from the root canal can find their way into the sinuses, nose or ear.
Classism is often systematic and caught up in "conventional methods."
Classism can be as simple as leaders and the rich thinking they already know the best way while those who have to make do find ways to achieve something thru a smaller amount of resources While true experts study a thing and sometimes find even better ways that neither have done
Cutting vaccine funding will inevitably cut rabbies readiness. Furthermore, dogs and cats can get fewer strains of rabies each. It is vitally important that all cats and dogs that go outdoors get their rabbies shots because the post-infection regiment for dogs and cats is less effective.
This is one of the few vaccines that can be given post-infection, but ONLY if they have the vaccine ready at the ER.
Most ebike systems are quite easy on the wheels.
I pulled up the one "Trump's alive" post from X and it turns out the mirror doesn't match in that one either. It's just not as bad, having a club staff member there instead of those two photo-bombers.
I find this so funny, the original one on X had a mismatched mirror, so everyone is defacing it with things.
They are requesting you play squash. Oh wait, play with a squash?! Play with a squash how?! Umm, is that allowed on SpaceTok?
But it's all over Subspace: There is even an animated meme that says "I'm on fire! --- Rizz'n like the Plumbler!"
There is no way you could treat them worse than most athletes, after all.
You can also get refurbished on certain parts. Fixing up wheels yourself may be beyond your capacity, but you can find performance wheels refurbished at a bike shop for deep discounts, and they will be good as new so long as you don't intend to treat them rough.
It's probably a good idea to wear such protective gear, as Julian was complaining about having to treat your chemical burns before holodeck time, whatever that means.
If you want to keep using nitric acid based etchents to clean the EPS Waveguide Manifold, you need to wear protective clothing over any natural fiber clothes.
I have a response from Garak: Those are both features. Your generation really doesn't know how to roll down socks for a nicer fit. As of the explosion, these are untreated natural fibers, and you keep exposing them to nitric acid based etchents. He says he can't change the laws of physics.
Wheels can be particularly tricky as spokes are a pain to balance, to the point that my brother gave up learning how to when he tried.
In that case you just want to get some nice gently used parts and fix them up.
You can even hammer or rivet wield some alloys at room temperature, but it won't bond as well as when heated to full working temperature.
Notably, if you are going cheap, you can find a lot of old brass in the scrapyard. It is amazingly easy to work into rod metal with appropriate pressing tools. It also has low working temperature, wide working temperature, low brittleness tendency and can use simple hammer or rivet wields.
More and more racists are feeling they can be open and direct in targeting others. When it starts in the parent's home and then the white house spews racist speaking points, it quickly appears as normal for children to pick up and learn. Will the media interview these children's parents?
The big issue with aluminum is it is hard to heat-work. Specifically, it does not agree well with torch wielding or solder joints. You really have to go for full-on inert gas arch wielding to get good joints. Newer electron beam wielding can work on lap joints, which most bikes don't use.
Bright brass alloys have come a long way from the time they abandoned them for various bad properties, BTW.
Modern aluminum alloy is better, even if it's harder to work with. You should consider it. However, if you want to go old school, bright brass is seriously underrated.
I say, don't back down. Resorting to political oppression is a sign that they are on the ropes.
Two things can be true.
Men apparently attempted to make a beach movie that appeals to women too by sticking hot guys in it. I'm not surprised by this.
"Unlike other people, I'm proud of our flag. Using it to divide us devalues it." Oh man, the total and complete doublespeak.
It also depends on species. Antler size does tend to be smaller as well.
If you want to list the least evil of video on demand services, Google PlayPass and Netflix are likely the two.
Netflix likely lands under the "Less evil" category. Certainly not good, but they don't let themselves be bullied by Nazis.
There were ads in magazines selling mail order narcotics.
In this case, the poor guy was already bipolar and schizoaffective. His girlfriend had just broken up with him, and he hit the bottle. Then he tried this new liquor that was all the rage at the time . . . You can see how this goes.
I think two things can be true. Various psychoactive substances are well known to cause substantially worse effects in people with existing, but manageable mental illness.
Yes, they concentrated high sugar juice in pots, almost all of which were made of lead alloy at the time. Needless to say, the result was a mixture of sugar and lead.
Lead methyl compounds can easily get into the body and brain, but then drop their lead when metabolized and the body can't get the lead to leave.
Not to mention the lack of modernized fractional distillation to remove the methanol. ALL Liquor had substantially more methanol back then. Notably, ones processed in leaded containers were particularly bad because volatile methyl compounds formed lead methyl compounds.
Absinthe also used to contain a lot more methanol and volatile methyl compound, because modern fractional distillation had yet to be perfected. The stuff was on the list of the worst things for the human body of all times, up there with crystal meth and Roman "nectar"
It does need to be repeated by an anatomy professor on the first day to break the ice and make any jokes for the rest of the semester more funny by comparison.
Stick that in your M.2 slot and dump your whole collection!
It's a old biology joke. It doesn't need to be repeated every few years.
Yep, EOs can only adjust the use of powers that were authorized under existing laws.
