This isn't about the state getting more money out of you. This is about shutting down on the tax dodge. Pay your taxes. If you don't like your taxes, vote to have them changed, but don't complain that you can't cheat your way out of the taxes that everyone else is paying.

There are disposable, single-patient stethoscopes, but I've seen my Dr do a casual wipe with an alcohol swab often enough...

Man, it's going to be great when this gets adapted to make sure I'm looking into the screen at all the ads I'm required to watch, or when it complies a report of whether or not I'm paying attention to my boss in an all-hands...

The old LaserJet was jamming because you neglected to perform even the most basic maintenance. If you'd gotten it a new set of rollers (they were designed to be replaced), it would be happily printing today.

But with without design docs, how will my hordes of low cost contractors know what to do?

What? Tires are the way cars touch the road. If you're slowing down from engine breaking or from friction breaking, the force between the tires and the road will be the same. It's not like engine breaking has some alternative connection to the road.

And that says nothing about the fact that EVs use regenerative breaking, where the motors turn that kinetic energy into electricity to charge the battery, slowing things down with the friction breaks.

The beetle crawled to freedom through five hundred yards of shit-smelling foulness I can't even imagine. Or maybe I just don't want to. The length of five football fields. Just shy of half a mile. I guess it comes down to a simple choice. Get busy living or get busy dying.

Four figures for an operating system license? > $1000? Really? Per computer, for just that version of Windows? Can you explain how that could be worth it?

I have that bell, it makes a beautiful sound. It's not quite loud enough, but it's real problem is that its spring is the only thing holding the striker on, and that gets bent out of shape way too easily.

Plus it was way too expensive for being a bell...

To give an alternative opinion, as someone who has come to see a commute as a complete waste of my time, and also as someone who has spent a long time contemplating the nature of my relationship to work in general, I did not feel condescended by the that post.

I saw each those descriptors separately, able to appeal to those they resonated with. And honestly, the characterization of "working to get paid and not investing beyond what is necessary" is not a deprecation of me, my attitude, or the balance I've struck.

I can understand if that specific sentiment does not resonate with you, but for me, I've come to feel accepting and happy with the ideas that: my work is purely in exchange for money, it is not my identity, and that once I've put my part in, I want to use my time and energy towards the other things that make me happy.

I'm not saying I don't get great joy and satisfaction out of my hard work and coworker relationships, I really do. For me, that comes with: "This is my task, and when I've satisfied it, that's all I'm interested in doing". However what really brought peace to my mind was incorporating: "And that's OK." into my outlook. "I do not care to invest myself beyond that" is not a characterization I feel the need to be ashamed of. Perhaps it's hubris on my part, but I'm proud of the push back that I feel entitled to give, and I'm proud to say "this is the limit of my investment in work".

Beautiful photos, but on a webpage designed to show them off, why desaturate / lighten them on mouse over?

3 things: * Do your homework. * Understand what's going on in class. * Think ahead.
