Missed out on one by a couple years through the citizenship by ancestry program:-/

Delaying things might be enough if the state can do it for years

A shame, such a tasteless choice. If you had as much class as money, you’d have chosen something like a vintage 1960s submariner rather than a frivolous toy available on every high street in the world.

The state of California could implement say, an 80% state income tax. This would be deductable from federal tax per IRS tax code. The state could then create an instant tax credit to credit back a gross 69% income, leaving 11% to the state to match their current tax rate.

The Feds would only get tax on 20% of wages, unlike the 89% they do now

Yes, but most bloodthirsty monsters don’t get to use advanced military weapons and don’t receive billions in aide to seek blood

I’m not sure myself, there seems to be better software out there for each individual part of what nextcloud does, but not the whole thing. I’ve been reading up on open cloud, which is a fork of a rewrite of owncloud, which is what nextcloud is forked from. https://opencloud.eu/en/opencloud-community

I haven’t tried it out yet though.

You know where you notice this? As an American buying appliances in Europe. You can buy a front loading washing machine for 300€, including VAT. A refrigerator? 400€. Three years ago I paid 1800 for a fridge in the us, and last year bought a scratch and dent special washing machine for $600

Edit: and US prices are not including Tax.

I wouldn’t say categorically that it sucks.

1. It is inefficient and requires far too many server resources for what it does. Won’t really run on less than 2gb/RAM minimum, with 1-2 users.

2. Add ONS seem to be all over the place with lots of incompatibilities, some default add ons that just plain don’t work.

3. In my short testing it seems to be a bit unstable.

In my opinion, it suffers from many of the same problems as other projects that started out and we’re developed largely by hobbyists like zoneminder, and even home assistant to some extent. Sprawling growth, no strict architecture, little concern for refactoring.

It can go either way, some people like the method, others hâte it because it’s not gamified. Pro tip, get pimsleur courses from your library if you want to try them for a real trial rather than what they give you

They don’t want trans people in bathrooms or anywhere else. They want to disappear trans people, either by re-assimilating them into their “designated” sex, or if they are too far gone, just plain old disappearing.

We’re going to see a lot more software going down the shitter as companies downsize, scale in, lay off with the plan to use AI to save money.

It used to be “move fast break things”. Now it’s more like “vibe code good enough”

I have a well seasoned good quality one that makes eggs as well as a nonstick pan. Took time to get to that point though. Sugary American bacon is the surest way to end up having to reseason it though.

I think a few hours with a torch and they would make fantastic dumpsters. Imagine if you could crab walk a self moving dumpster? Genius

Companies aren’t held to contracts like people are held to contracts. One buyout, restructuring, name change, no more contract. It’s meaningless

But what is it for, why have sex on the passport at all? Why is it important to know the “biological sex” of a traveler? Have you been genetically scanned at a border crossing before?

Why do you think sex is listed in passports? Do you think it is because it is important to understand the reproductive capabilities of the traveller or is it a data point that corresponds with appearance, like eye color?

I’m trying to imagine a scenario outside maybe immigration where a country a traveler visits would need to know your “biological sex” or “birth sex”.

You just have to move to a place where the post office is a disaster and you won’t get mail anymore. Northern new Mexico, for one.

Edit: France

They step 15 ft into the trail and have an Instagram photo shoot

If you are looking for a permanent place somewhere in Europe, it’s very difficult to quickly find monthly or weekly rentals with the appropriate monthly or weekly discount you will find on Airbnb. I don’t discount it’s négatives, but with the paperwork burden to find a medium or long term place in many areas in Europe Airbnb does the best job of cutting through all of that and getting you a place now
