  • Boilerplate code is where it rocks. The syntax for that API function you use once every 5 years and no way remember, it's got you covered. It can knock out helper functions like a boss too. Nothing complex, that takes too long to fix, but the text filter and type conversion stuff is quicker than typing them out yourself.

  • I suspect that's a sampling bias due to sample size. He probably has low support though. It's kind of crazy, but if the republican party wasn't insanely racist, and actually social/fiscal conservative, they would probably take a majority of the black vote. The black community supports gay rights, because they're acutely aware of minority rights issues, not because they really accept gay people.

    Taken as an overall group anyway, obviously there's a whole range of views among the community.

  • The rule is to do what you're both comfortable with, and see if those things match up. If you're not up for drinking, then don't. And recognize that social drinking might be more important to the person you're interested in.

  • I was misunderstanding a bit myself. I was thinking you meant by yourself. As a state, California could possibly increase property taxes to maximize everyone's salt deduction. As more of a long term solution it might even be an idea depending on California constitutional law. More likely though, they would just have to fight the illegal impoundment in the court. While it would likely take months to get done, changing tax law the the affects of that would take years.

  • They don't do that now. The IRS contacts the bank, that's licensed as a bank by the federal government, and tells them to close your account. Usually the first step is to freeze your assets, then they start taking things. The banks aren't going to argue, they're not going to give up their entire business just to protect you, or a single state. Even if it is California.

  • It would be considered tax evasion. Deductions not authorized by federal statute, have no affect on federal tax laws. Start following your own rules, and they will come knocking on your door. Of course with staffing cuts, it could be years from now when they show up.

  • I sincerely hope you are correct, but they're on a full war time economy and building flat out. The real question is if Ukraine can disrupt manufacturing supply lines enough to make a difference. Hitting the bombers helps now, they need to hit the factories making engines for the bombers of tomorrow.

  • I'm not saying he'll win by any means. That's what he thinks he's building up for though. Putin seems of the opinion if he can slowly bleed Ukraine then if/when he pushes into NATO, they'll be tapped out, and he can win with meat grinder tactics, as long as the US doesn't show up. Which is possible with Trump knee capping our military, and bringing in a lot of meat shields from North Korea, and maybe a bunch of Chinese that Xi doesn't like.

    What I don't think he gets, is that Poland alone could very likely erase Russia, right now. And they would very much not be alone. And they're backed stopped with French and UK nukes. So there's a hard limit to how far he's going to get. Although I think the world will be a much worse place if France has to use their nuclear warning shot doctrine.
