A flat rate typically implies a set percentage of income, regardless of how much you make, with no breaks or reductions.

So, a 10% flat rate on someone who only makes $30,000 is $3000, while the guy who makes $5,000,000 pays $500,000.

Stardew Valley, Balatro, Kingdom Come: Deliverance or Medieval Dynasty.

Back and forth... Back and forth... I'm beginning to feel like Sisyphus!

Ignoring the obvious flaw of throwing out the importance of infinity here, they would be exceedingly unlikely but technically not unable. A random occurrence is just as likely to happen on try number 1 as it is on try number 10 billion. It doesn't become any more or less likely as iterations occur. This is an all too common failure of understanding how probabilities work.

While this is a shit move by whoever is doing this, it makes virtually no difference for the presidential election. WA electoral votes are winner-takes-all, and always go Dem. A few burned boxes won't come close in making a difference for president, Biden won by almost a million votes in the last one. It will probably have a decent effect on local elections though.

LG or Sony TV, never connected to the internet, with an Nvidia shield. There is nothing better at the moment.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if there was a political bias between people who are and aren't willing to answer phone calls and participate in polls.

Makes me sad where they ended up, such a great album.

Throwing a little bit of baking soda into tomato based sauces can tame the acidity as well, and is actually a pretty great trick for neutralizing the canned taste if you're using canned tomatoes. Just make sure to add it slowly and mix slowly, otherwise you'll be creating a science fair volcano on your stovetop.

Go Thorium MSR and bury it underground and you don't really have to worry about it. Might need some modification for moon gravity but otherwise seems like the best bet.

Patriot is easily one of the best shows there is.

Guess I'm bringing engineering back into the post apocalyptic world.

Kinda funny to call out a logical fallacy and then immediately commit an ad hominem (whataboutism) fallacy. Your argument does not change the fact that this is happening and that we aren't doing everything we can to prevent it. No one involved in this issue is ignoring that China and India are part of the problem, there's just nothing we can do short of war or economic pressures. War is out of the question because no one would survive to fix the planet anyway, so economic pressure it is, which would once again require us to do something.

This is horrifying lol

The Hippocratic Oath is not a legally binding oath, and many doctors are not required to take this oath or any oath for that matter. Basically, at the end of the day, oaths only matter to the people who have the strength of character to hold to them no matter the cost and most people do not have that strength of character. Oaths mean nothing to those people when it comes down to it, it's just a thing that you said once, nothing more.

Maybe I just suck at the research, but from what I can tell getting a permanent residence visa is not easy for Americans. If I'm wrong I would absolutely love to know.

The word for me was seahorse, but when I asked it if it had scales the game answered yes. Seahorses do not have scales.

Why would you ever sign into anything in incognito mode. Doesn't that pretty much defeat the whole purpose?
