Wow, thanks for this

Factorio has seen tons of bugs in its development. It just so happens that the developers are some of the most effective bug squashers in the world of software development.

There’s a nice whiskey in my cabinet I haven’t had occasion to pop open for a while…

Yeah, not my job to educate you dude.

Wow. Pretty problematic.

Well, your internet IT moms and dads are here to fill that gap!

My dad spent too much time teaching “life lessons” like “brush your teeth” or “eat your vegetables” to get into even the fundamentals of filesystems. The nerve of some people.

RAID in a secondary machine is a backup, but that’s because it’s a secondary machine, not because it’s RAID.

Can’t let Gary fucking Johnson have the best weed-related PR stunt of a US presidential candidate.

Fresh college grads hate this advice but it’s really key to managing a long term career.

Sure, the more correct wording would be “neither the customer nor the company are taxed on the donation”. Assuming the customer itemizes their taxes, which a you’ve pointed out is rare.

I’m trying to speak at the level of people who post stuff like the OP. Some of the details don’t shake out correctly but I’m not trying to get in the weeds of US tax code here if the main point holds up.

Ah, this again.

The mega corporation did not receive any tax benefit from collecting donations. They are able to write off the amount of donations from their income, so that they aren’t paying tax on the money they collected specifically to be donated.

1. Company collects $1 donation from customer
2. Company has $1 extra income
3. Company donates $1 to charity
4. Company writes that dollar off of their income.
5. Company reports the exact same profit/loss as if they had not collected donations.

You can do anything if you put your mind to it!

But like, don’t submit it until it’s due. If you finish early keep that shit to yourself, don’t fuck with the managed expectations between me and my boss.

A sub is a pretty difficult driving meal though, if you have any care for the cleanliness of your car. Lots of ingredients threatening to spill out of the bread at any moment.

A friend of mine went to Vegas once and we only got 2 texts from him in the group chat the entire time.

Day 1: I’m up!

Day 5: I’m down.

It’s directed at people who absolutely cannot vote for Harris due to her stance on Gaza. Instead, they enabled a war on their LGBTQ neighbors.

It’s not that “the crime isn’t a felony in Florida”, it’s that Florida defaults to the felony-voter rules of the state where the crime was committed.

New York lets felons vote as long as they’re not currently incarcerated, so Florida lets him vote.

Despite how common that saying is, trains in Italy were a shitshow under Mussolini

Don’t underestimate Colorado. Though it’s largely the recent Denver transplants keeping up that stereotype, whereas it’s the long-term Texans.
