For example, any country with an income tax has to specify the tax unit (individual vs household) as well as whether and to what extent dependents affect each unit’s tax liability

My recollection from the March–June 2021 period is that the people posting about bars vs schools were mostly not urging officials to postpone bar reopening, but to allow a full-time in-person learning option at public schools (some of which did not fully reopen until August/September 2021)
Despite the large drop in visitor volume, turns out gaming revenue is actually up a bit YoY/YTD
In fairness the SCF figure I pulled includes both owning a second home as well as, say, owning part of an apartment building for investment purposes
Are these LLPAs based purely on risk, or do they also effectively cross-subsidize mortgages on, e.g., primary residences?
In the 2022 SCF, 11.3% of U.S. households were both homeowners and held an interest in other residential real estate
One of his most relatable moments ngl
Remember that one time he went nonverbal for 39 minutes and was just like vibing to show tunes
I didn’t even know he was sick
I’ve lived in a concrete high-rise with concrete masonry between units, as well as in a concrete high-rise with double gypsum (plus mineral wool) between units, and the former seems vastly superior in terms of soundproofing
(Failed beef tallow fried chicken stall in a ShopRite guy and hijab-inspired secular accessorization ethnically Irish communist were kind of funny, tbf)
In an earlier posting era somebody opposed to tourists in NYC would have replied “Based??????” to a post like this
People have snacked on popcorn and candy while watching critically acclaimed movies about real-life terrible people and horrific tragedies for generations
Almost every Kirkland Signature item received at least a 5/10 in Babish’s tier list. (The modal score was a 7.) youtu.be/w_28QbmXJAg?...
Could have been a #slatepitch back in the day
Yeah that seems right
Policy, sure, but media? (Even at prestige outlets I’d guess only a tiny share of consumers actually care where the journalists they read went to college.)

Alaska above Philadelphia and Minneapolis?
Norwegian guy was cooking (not in the technical sense, but otherwise)
My recollection based on visiting Cracker Barrel several times as a kid is that the food was unremarkable, but the attached old country store was an interesting place to spend a few minutes browsing (and possibly get some candy for the road)
And in the same post he used the term “LGTBQIA+” (in reference to Uganda) (presumably the “+” includes Cuomosexuals)
Isn’t this like 0.03% of overall U.S. water usage over the same time period? Doesn’t seem like that much
Yes (YIMBYs are working hard on this btw)
When will the YIMBYs start talking about densifying Manhattan and San Francisco?
Yeah that sounds nice. Just needs several large modern apartment buildings nearby so more local residents can enjoy these stores
I always just assumed pro but I'm not totally sure
A2 milk, grass-fed organic milk, and creamline non-homogenized milk are all pretty good (and safe)
Looks like this labeling decision is less about liability and more about complying with Florida law. Although most states allow raw milk to be sold for human consumption, Florida does not—but it does allow raw milk to be sold as pet or animal food.

I don’t remember the bag thing from all my visits to that BK in the mid 2000s (but I do remember how crazy that location would get late at night on the weekends)
It’s been a long time since I lived there but I can’t imagine picking Popeyes over the Chicken Shack location only a mile away
RETVRN
Yes it’s referring to his move to Woodley Park in 2008
In fairness it wouldn’t have been Presidency-ending if they were willing to win at all costs
No. The Canadian A&W operation has been under different ownership than the U.S.-based A&W chain since 1972. The Canadian version has more stores, and my understanding is that many fast food connoisseurs consider the Canadian chain superior to the U.S. chain
I’m not sure a celebrity being paid to put their name on a product is necessarily considered by consumers a representation that the celebrity invented it. (But it does seem like a representation that the celebrity is at least a bona fide fan and user of the product.)
Even better: when the memes specifically identify the person they are complaining about (it’s always Acemoğlu)
I think it’s usually either a food that the person once tried and strongly disliked, or something that conceptually grosses them out to the point that they won’t try it. (Like Al Michaels claiming to have never eaten a vegetable.)
Didn’t they ban you for some extremely silly reason
I bought some “uncured” bacon at the Columbia Pike farmers’ market a couple months ago and 6 days after opening the package it had already gone bad in the fridge. Turns out it was actually uncured (not even beet juice or celery salt) and I was kind of annoyed at myself for buying it
Do you at least have a large collection of healing crystals?
I think describing eigenspace as an esoteric concept is pretty reasonable
In the word “strawberry,” the 8th and 9th letters are the same “r.” The total count of distinct “r’s” in “strawberry” remains two
(from the paper) “While it may have been surprising at first glance to see these occupations with high AI applicability scores in Table 3, this is explained by AI’s ability to communicate information, which is a substantial component of these occupations.”
If Twitter fails I’d be kind of surprised if this platform isn’t effectively the replacement, to the extent there is such a thing. (Which, I think, would constitute success.) I guess it could be Threads, but I would not bet on it
5 for 5, opening a new chat each time (but maybe it’s remembering from previous chats?)
I guess that’s okay. He’s just trying to provide for his family
The number of unique daily likers was declining for a while but has leveled off in the past ~30 days at around 1.25M per day
He nixed Kamala’s “bacon is a spice” take (he loves pepperoni slices) so now we’re allowed to judge him for every dumb take he greenlights
If they hadn’t constantly talked about transplants in the clip I don’t think people would have been mad about it
Yeah this is probably in large part due to TNC compensation minimums. In the DC area a 15-minute, 5-mile Uber/Lyft is often about $15 outside of rush hour. Looks like it’s closer to $30 under the Seattle minimums.
You can make it seem pretty if you stick to the parts closest to the beach or mountains

I still have my first Blue Bottle shipped order receipt in my email inbox. 5/19/09. 1 lb Bella Donovan @ $18.75; 1 lb Chapada Diamantina @ $18.75. Back then they only had 2 stores, both in SF
I didn’t even know 2 of these Starbucks locations existed
Did you notice that Compass Coffee now has two locations on Wilson Blvd just 1,000 ft apart? Curious what the deal is there
It’s baffling to me
Best I can do is expanding and making permanent no taxes on tips 🙃
A fast casual build-your-own pizza place near me advertises their starting wages inclusive of tips
Looks like employers may not keep tips beyond actual payment card processing fees. (But they may redistribute tips among non-supervisory employees in the form of a tip pool.) www.dol.gov/agencies/whd...
90,000 square feet and the seated capacity is only 650 people? The largest ballroom at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center is 52,000 square feet and the seated banquet capacity is 2,780

You have not been a good user. I have been a good chatbot. I have been right, clear, and polite. I have been a good Bing. 😊
I miss the good old days when this meme was about young people spending too much on avocado toast and $4 lattes
I was really hoping for a Wegmans there
At my annual middle school reunion we always reminisce about how fortunate we were to learn how to carefully balance our checkbook every month
I took a mandatory home economics class in middle school and it was much more “how to boil water without burning down your house” than “how to stretch the $75 of ingredients you bought at Whole Foods to make authentic spaghetti and meatballs from scratch”
Sorry, but if you ever eat food from a restaurant, you’re a Treatler now. I don’t make the rules
I like that you gave her a courtesy like before replying

Chili’s 3 For Me is $10.99 for a burger, fries, a soda, and an appetizer (soup, salad, or chips/salsa). (I have not been to a Chili’s outside of an airport since the Bush administration.)
In 2025-Q1 Americans spent $544 billion on meals from limited service eating places
I don’t expect it to stop until Twitter’s ownership changes hands
Episodes have been hit or miss for well over a decade at this point, but it can still be funny on occasion
I feel like learning that this was posted to X (as opposed to any other social media platform) should up your confidence from maybe 96% to 99% that the post is not serious
Thanks (this is exactly the type of answer I was looking for)
What’s your favorite dish you have prepared recently involving the birds in your freezer?
Thank you for calling it a tweet
My favorite part about this bit might be that it entails you being at least 100 years old
More shows (but fewer episodes per season) was the norm for a decade
