I'm not sure how withholdings works for your paycheque, but you request where the number is set.

If I set it up accurately

You define what's accurate for a percentage when you set it.

  • atheists upset because Pope Francis kept the status quo like every other pope would

  • Christians upset because Pope Francis changed some things for the better, like no other pope before him

It's weird how he had no chance.

I think running a gas stove while driving is wrong for so many reasons.

An ice cream truck is ... Freezers. You stop, scoop, score, move on. Taco trucks need to stop, heat the ovens, and in like an hour can start taking orders.

It's not the same.

One of those is reeeeally making the other look bad. I grew up in the time before Germany really started leading the free world, when holo tropes had them in a really negative light. It's like mistakes made by Germans 2 generations ago hurt their image still.

I worry magats have created a shitty image that all yanks will get to wear for 40+ years. And people I know in America who are really great people who don't deserve that.

Dear fElon,

After the daily struggle to keep this government running despite efforts to the contrary and repeated unmitigated budgetary damage, I currently lack the crayons and the spare time to properly school you on a description of my job; even at a level so high you could use it as a space elevator.

Please let me know if that's your goal, as we could realize a cost-savings for NASA. Otherwise, I can recommend some intro courses on forecasting and management that could get you a little more up to speed, and we can arrange a time to meet and talk afterwards.

Have a super day.

He ... grew up?

We should anticipate, encourage and hope for this. All edgy teens leave the homeroom eventually and need to evolve once the pressure to be shitbags for cheap gratification and clique standing is removed.

Glad if he's evolved. Only know OF him, not a fan or a R.L acquaintance so I can only care so much while lacking that parasocial link, but better is still better.

For 30k, one expected to pay 7500/yr taxes, although usually that was diverted by the employer and not noticed as much (other than the standard "why is my pay 465/wk instead of 576/wk?" question).

This would knock the takehome down by ~$30/wk due to the increased withholding by the employer to cover that 1500.

And when we look at it from our comfy warm homes, it doesn't seem like a lot. But, I can confirm from when I was working 3 jobs to support a university habit, that $30 was fucking crushing. I think that's 2 days a week of food, when every penny is bled out of you already.

Wanna bet the GqP is looking at it like $30 is nothing, like they're just skipping the appetizer at the clubhouse one day a week?

Awww, there you go, Mitch Hedberging so fast.

Everyone gets to be one of the 10,000 when they need to be.

Sounds like we should ensure people are not trusting Ai for their answers, and also maybe be sure they're asking questions properly. There's nothing that brings in better answers than a question asked properly.

Oh, this is gonna be exciting. THINK of how their reading comprehension is going to soar. We have to be great sources of info and we have to write properly, but we've got this. We can represent a great community. Right?

skookum. It's borrowed from, like, old Aboriginal trade language. It means "deal's done" - with its own hand-brushing gesture - but it also means "strong" or "resilient", I think.

And now it's almost a common 'Canadianism' -- if your Newfie buddy says " 'At's a skookum blow we gots, b'iys", you know there's a sad BC Ferry-tale on the way, and you're not getting Over tonight.

We've been using Yum (and now its "differenter name is betterer" dnf) for what, 20 years?

error: rpmdb: BDB0113 Thread/process 13664/139968089683776 failed: BDB1507 Thread died in Berkeley DB library

You think we'll ever get someone with a clue to fix this? Will RedHat going all IBM about source code help?

 

Okay, so what's with Gitlab and ServiceNow getting so fat on whitespace that they no longer fit in half a 1920x1200 screen properly?

What's the standard width that actual professional webdevs are building toward? Is there a standard, or like app dependendencies are they back to pre-y2k "moar moar nom nom" methodologies?

 

Look. It happens a few times a week, where reps in 3 time-zones will be fucked by an interruption to azure services like o341 or sharepoint (we don't do VMs in azure; not secure enough).

I'm used to shadenfreuding Reddit over that, or at least finding it's not just our company firewall and VPN taking the Proverbial.

Is there a sub I can join to get the topical junk like that? I'm too indolent - like a fox! - to go to twitter (or ideally mastodon) for a more suitable location; but will I find it there if I do? Can it be here too?

 

I didn't find this yet, but please downvote to hell itself and drop a link to the proper prior post in comments if you find it.

In here, eventually, are some comments from the Fedora project leader about how RHEL trying to kill open access to source and packaging source code is potentially going to affect Fedora, RedHat's ginger adopted stepchild which it usually overlooks.

I must say there's a LOT to wait through and one of them has a mic with a bad level at times, and I didn't sit all the way through. Tell me if I've been scammed, but I thought this may have value and I'm hoping to hear confirmation of that too.

Enjoy? Or flame me. Happy Friday.
