That’s unironically a good idea if you are just getting into it. The trades pay very well and are in high demand.

Cash discounts aren’t about it being ‘off the books’, however. That is because cash doesn’t incur a credit card fee, and they pass the savings to you. A good number of businesses will do that, I make sure to take advantage of it.

There seem to be a large number of people who evade income taxes, then get shocked and panicky several years later when they ‘suddenly’ owe their taxes; complete with fees and interest.

Domestic borrowing grew too costly in June and July, when the Finance Ministry canceled three auctions for federal loan bonds after yields climbed above 16% annually.

You know shit is bad when people don’t want to lend to your country for even ludicrous numbers like 16%.

It’s extremely useful if you are hosting services (webserver, game server, etc). Otherwise it doesn’t really matter.

Don’t fucking sugar coat it just tell me what’s wrong

I often ask at the end of in-person interviews what I could improve upon. I normally get some good constructive feedback.

What was unraid using before for its base?

Maintenance isn’t too difficult or too expensive

Are you joking? Getting quality contractors (or doing it yourself) is quite a bit of work and often quite expensive. It’s exponentially worse if other people are tearing your shit up because they don’t care about other people’s stuff.

You shouldn’t take this as ‘don’t buy your own home’, but I can’t fathom where you thought properly maintaining a home isn’t difficult or expensive. Go lookup prices on how expensive installing a new roof, AC, kitchen cabinets, or flooring is. And those are only some big-ticket items.

Or, more often, the ones acting up abuse everyone else until they leave. Spam. Porn. Spam. CSAM. Spam.

You don’t need a pile of money to go outside. You don’t need a pile of money to learn to fix your own things (in fact it saves you money). Etc, etc.

So many people have this idea in their head that it is only worth ceasing the doomscrolling if you are actively giving someone else money.

Yep, nothing in the constitution about women voting or any other topics, only that one thing.

5 hours of gameplay…a month. 10 hours…a month.

What even is this service for?

Strong disagree. Phone is to never go below 20%, ever.

And here I am hoping they are finally killing the fuel economy requirement that killed small trucks.

From the article, it doesn’t sound like that is the case, though.

You can boot to the 500GB drive, do a game backup in Steam, then boot into the 2TB drive and import the backup you made.

If you want even easier. You can always re-download them in Steam.

Holy crap, yay!

Always liked using this program as it has just enough tools to be useful, including addons, but not overbearing for moderate image work.

Edit: A note for the group:

It is NOT “production ready.” I wouldn’t even call it “alpha quality”. It “doesn’t not” work.

That is correct!

Acting like the cool kid.

My doorbell is a button that completes a circuit. Still works.

Dude probably could have ended the war after a week or two, taken a portion of the east, and called it a day. So much discussion of giving Putin off-ramps back then.

This was back when Germany was supplying nothing more deadly than helmets and all of Russia’s navy was still floating.
