Comment Re: If the asset tax passes, he'll owe 1.5B (Score 1) 175

I know people who work in new york, but "live" in say kentucky and that's how it exactly works. And they are not even rich to get special teams of lawyers. Granted newyork and cali who's been chasing away people have tried to create more laws to still rape people leave pelenty of loop holes for the rich to not get caught.

Even when I traveled a lot, I spent greater than 70% of my time in another state, my state of residence didn't change.

actually what many companies do is the products (say TV) being sold at different stores at almost the exact same thing. Almost., just different enough to not be the exact same thing.

Can't price match different items(even if they are really the same thing)

Amazon edition box could say free skin, when everyone can unlock it anyways.

all the common questions get asked, and so anyone asking a question that already has an answer gets their question shot down

Right, flagging things as dupes is also worry some, as the right answer to the same question changes over time.

And that's assuming that the original had the correct one listed, and is relevant to whats being asked, and the answer is complete and local not just a link to a now dead source.

They need to assume
1. It may not be easy to find correct relevant dupe
2. The dupe may not be seen as relevant
3. The old answer may not be correct anymore.

IMO the answer should be pulling in a dupe and allowed to be voted if correct or not, not a shutdown.

what also needs to show is individual incomes.

I would also include other very significant income costs
Health Insurance
Auto Insurance
Phone/Internet Bills
Electric Bills (not just kw/h)
Gasoline
A few more core food items Chicken, Beef, Bread, Broccoli
cost of media (netflix was enough, not it's not and it went up in price too)
Taxes (mine went up 3+ times since then, which was % base before so it really hurts)
And, last but most important is wages!

because websites are hard and apparently passe... so they turned to the worst wordpress platform there is.

GOD! I hate discord, but that's where users are, and have been trying to nudge people to matrix, which is still a pile of crap but at least allows open communication.

I miss icq/aim/yahoo messenger.(oh the days of using everybody and pidgeon!!) I miss being able top send files to friends. (and no, things could work even when both parties nat'ed) and things can still be open and secure even if something has to sit between on occasion to get 2 nat'ed p2p devices to work.

Examples: torrents work between nat'ed people, so did starcraft/broodwars (both where everyone connects to everyone)

and the phone required nonsense, grrrrr!! This Internet feels worse than AOL in the 90's!

and that includes some multi-player games.

I've ran into this, sucks so bad, I have to give in to this kind of crap for kids to play w/ their friends otherwise they get left out of friendships.

All this "security" isn't anything other than forced obsolescence. (in all its forms, from phones, etc)

95/98 where good. NT was great. xp, 2000, 2003 was good. windows 7 had some reason but was largely good. windows 8 trash, windows 10, well not as bad as 8, and somehow upgrading to it was at least not as bad as 11..... and 11 was kind of better than 8. Oh yea, vista was garbage.

But 10, and 11 forced MS online only accounts and onedrive and all the spyware and store front crap.... If the Gov was only as corrupt as they where in 90s they would have been taking to cort a dozen times over.

Granted sometimes it makes sense to staywith them since there is no competition and they all rape you hard but still those prepaids are a lot cheaper, especially when you include they all charge like $5-10 per line/month for the privilege of not hooking your bank account.

If it was up to me, I wouldnt even have a f**** cell phone. , at least not a plan. Keep mine / the keyboard and replaceable ssd and battery just so I can do maps and wifi usage.
