  • The top is the floor.

    Also the back, the front and sides.

  • But then each of those people get walloped with a big ass 1040 payment from the feds at the end of the year. And they feds can chose to make an “example” of random people who don’t pay up.

  • Sub-lemmy

    Technically the term is “community” here.

    Subreddits are to Reddit as Communities are to Lemmy.

  • Some old games are still pretty rough with their original frame rate. I recently played 4 player golden eye on an n64, and that frame rate was pretty tough to deal with. I had to retrain my brain to process that.

  • Remember, the state doesn’t pay taxes, individual citizens do by filling out their annual federal income taxes.

    So, if “California” were to stop giving money to the federal government, the governor would basically need to convince individual citizens not to file their 1040.

    And all of those people would have to clinch their assholes and hope Trump didn’t sick the IRS on them.

  • Good point. Maybe these are a “home or office use only” device.

    I would looove to have something like this for work or home.

  • I guess the big argument is that giving a bunch of money to the wealthy will stimulate the economy. Although, that’s an argument that many nations, including the US, have 50 years of data on, and there isn’t much to support that argument. Trickle down economics hasn’t been shown to work.

    I also, if you’re in the camp that doesn’t believe in climate change and or thinks poor people are poor because of character flaws, then you probably like this thing. Or if you’re a wealthy person who donated a lot of money to republican politicians, you probably like this thing, because it’s a return on investment.

    It’s not particularly great. Many people on the right only voted for it because they’re afraid Trump will primary them, and end their political careers, if they oppose.

  • The bill give massive tax cuts to the extremely rich, and it attempts to pay for part of that by:

    • kicking many low income and disabled people off of federally funded health insurance
    • closes poor rural hospitals that depend on Medicaid money
    • cutting subsidies for manufacturing jobs that make emerging green tech, like EVs
    • food and child care assistance will disappear for many poor families.
    • and there is a bunch of weird little sneaky things hidden in it that people hope don’t get noticed because the bill is 200+ pages

    When you do the math, the rich will get a lot of money, the very poor will have lose money, the and middle class will break even but many will be put on unemployment.

    And it costs an extra $4,000,000,000,000, which is fucking bonkers.

  • Let’s be honest, swapping between two pairs of glasses, or rocking multi focal glasses, sucks.

    Carrying around glasses cases everywhere is a total PITA, and multi focals are not nearly as nice as one big dedicated lens for an entire focal point.

    I don’t know anyone carrying multiple pairs of glasses that thinks “this is great, the youths are missing out on all the fun.”

  • IXI isn’t selling their glasses yet. Your neighbor did not buy what the article is talking about.

  • I’d just keep a spare pair of normal glasses in the car. Anyone that has gotten to the point of needed glasses for both distance and reading likely has old pairs of glasses that can sit in a glove box. Even a slightly outdated prescription works in a pinch.

    Bifocals and or swapping between distance and readers is a fucking pain. Something that solves that automatically, without a medical procedure, would be fucking amazing.

  • Publicly, Elon said Trump’s bill was full of pork and would increase spending and debt by a lot.

    Voters on the right were already waking up to how shitty Trump’s bill was, and Musk just used his megaphone to let even more of Trump’s base know that it sucked.

    Privately, Musk is probably pissed that Trump’s bill didn’t help his companies. These are two greedy assholes. It all comes down to money and ego at the end of the day.

  • Incorrect.

    Stalin and Lenin never kissed at the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance, so Yezhov was erased from time.

  • Or just get all of the key frames tattooed around your waist and then twirl around.

  • Like Telsa’s stock, it’s on a downward spiral this week, but it’s far from dead.
