Stop Tax Payment Now: Delay your decision to pay income tax until April 2026. Pay less or not at all.

And how does one go about doing that?

They knew this was more than likely coming 3 years ago. There was a rush to buy the Venezuelan Bolivar Digitalis for when their shitshow of an economy turned around due to military force. Took longer than I expected but here we are.

There’s a documentary out there about this whole subject and it does indeed come down to exactly this.

Companies/design firms may not like the price that Pantone charges but they also say it’s absolutely worth it to know what color you will get in print.

Because humans are inherently selfish.

I’ve been out in charge of ensuring we use the only AI product that is potentially capable of removing humans from their jobs so that we can prove that it doesn’t perform even at the same level of the average person. We know it doesn’t but proving it is harder since the team stopped using it as a tool a month ago. To use the tool takes learning a new job workflow for a proton of their function. It’s a pain in the ass and takes longer to use the tool than not (which is why they stopped using it). So, not all leadership is stupid and some do listen. Why burn a ton of money on this tool if it’s not capable of a better ROI?

Unless you’re immunocompromised it doesn’t make a difference. “Unhealthy” bacteria is literally everywhere. You have an immune system for a reason.

Make sure you work the valves on toilets, showers, tubs, and faucets as well. They will dry out if you don’t and then you’ll get leaks.

I’m going to be either sitting at a restaurant not getting paid or cooking in my kitchen not getting paid. Either way it’s always cheaper to not spend money in the restaurant. My labor is moot.

You’re missing the point.

Labor will be the highest cost, it almost always is in business. But yeah, point made.

Yep. Labor costs something so it cannot be cheaper to have someone make it for you. Wild that anyone claims differently. Just a complete lack of understanding, but that’s the times we’re in.

The worst ratio I’ve had when making the same thing I could buy at a restaurant was 2x as cheap. Usually it’s at least 5x - 10x cheaper for us to stay home and cook the same thing ourselves. US based.

One of the more interesting museum exhibits we’ve seen. This room at the History Colorado Center is calming and serene with the transition from night with stars moving on the ceiling and insect noises to twilight with the clouds moving and the birds singing. It was a blood pressure dropper and my youngest loved it.

 

AYANEO is making another Android-based gaming handheld – but this one has a trick up its sleeve. The Pocket EVO is the world's first Android handheld with a 7-inch 120Hz OLED screen, according to the manufacturer. That high refresh rate should mean smoother gameplay, assuming there are enough titles to support it.

Based on the design of the AYANEO 2S, the Pocket EVO boasts a Qualcomm Snapdragon G3x Gen 2 chipset, which will ensure it has plenty of grunt for AAA mobile gaming and emulation.

A small medium at large.

 

Looks to be based on GBA4iOS.

 

I miss getting on a plane and reading Skymall to see what batshit crazy stuff they had to sell. Anyone else?

 

My prints come out very well but I’m noticing on larger prints that one corner of my bed prints tighter than the opposite. What’s causing this?

Printing on an Ender 3 Pro with upgraded metal extruder, beefier bed springs and metal levelers, and upgraded hot end. Not direct drive yet and no auto bed leveling.

 

In Colorado this year (2024), unaffiliated voters were mailed out their ballots for both the Democratic and Republican Presidential Primaries and get the chance to vote in one or the other (NOT both).

I’m fairly centrist. I lean left on progressive ideals and right on economic (yeah, it’s fun /s).

The question is, who’s should I put my vote in for? Is it better to vote for Biden or another candidate in the Democratic, or another candidate that isn’t Trump in the Republican. Again, we can only vote in one of the primaries or our vote won’t count if we vote in both. It’s one or the other.

What is best?

Solution: Need to be able to scroll past the top of the jump button on the last comment

 

When editing a comment and posting the edit, if you then want to re-edit the comment you get the original comment, not the edited version. This only happens when using the 3 dot menu on the right of the comment. If you tap and hold and use that edit, it shows the most recent. Supremely annoying.

 

When changing what gestures do in Settings > Gestures the color doesn’t change with the gesture you choose.

Ex. Reply to Long swipe and bookmark to short swipe. The gestures change but reply now has a green background and bookmark is blue.
