  • But in practice small businesses often don’t have full time accountants keeping their records and some receipts are lost after the cost has been reported.

    Not to mention large businesses can spend more money on lawyers that are able to drag out court cases through delay tactics and are far more likely to get the government to settle.

  • This is a great explanation for why business deductions are stupid in the first place. Why does being profitable justify being even more profitable by paying fewer taxes?

  • To most people, the Internet is just there to be taken for granted like the public street and park outside someone’s house.

    Both of which require maintenance that most people don't think about...

  • Did they market it at all?

    All I have seen is the post mortem articles. Deadlock has had more marketing.

  • we do not consider feeding a cat vegan food as animal abuse, provided there are no health issues arising from this

    Docking tails, snipping ears, and a bunch of stuff we do to dogs is abuse even if they don't have health issues down the road.

    One issue with feeding cats a vegan diet is that cats hide their pain, so if the diet is causing pain due to a lack of nutrients that don't have obvious external signs like death, they could be suffering for their entire lives. We don't have long term studies about other health impacts from a lack of meat, and the primary focus has been keeping them from dying. It should be assumed that there are other negstive side effects we cannot see when at least one missing enzyme kills the cat.

    Plus the only possible outcome is that some vegan is able to avoid feeding an obligate carnivore they voluntarily adopted the wrong diet.

  • Yes, although should be a rule that prohibits promoting antivaxx misinformation. If communities that discuss medical topics don't have rules against promoting disinformation, they are not being moderated very well.

    Keep in mind there will need to be an opportunity to explain why something is wrong, and that requires explaining what it is.

  • It is an endorsement of allowing discussion of a controversial topic that didn't break the posted rules.

    Feeding a cat a vegan diet is animal abuse because it requires a workaround for their biology as an obligate carnivore instead of just feeding them what they have evolved to need. If a vegan can't properly feed a particular pet, they shouldn't have the pet.

    But we should be able to discuss it unless the rules for the community are changed to prohibit that kind of discussion.

  • Would be fine as an option that could be enabled, especially for larger communities, but an instance run by a single person wouldn't be able to host communities if it was a built in requirement for all communities.

  • I don't think sides is the right word. Starting with an assumption of what the right amount of vacuuming is makes it easier.

    The right amount depends on how fast they get dirty. She might have been right if her experience was with pets. His might have been if he was rarely at home. It depends on what their current combined situation is, and weekly or monthly could be reasonable amounts too.

  • The competition's bots.

  • If he puts it off long enough he will find a way to get even more immunity.

  • Fediverse memes can be posted anywhere, including in existing memes communities. That's where all the beans and jeans memes are.

  • Alternately: CEOs with interest in short term profits tend to exploit underpaid workers.

  • Pretty sure they will say refriegerate affer opening somewhere on the bottle. They slap that on pickled or high acidity condiments that probably don't need refridgeration for safety reasons.

    I have no idea if it is necessary, if it extends the shelf life, or has no purpose other than making it more likely for people to throw it out if they don't put it in the fridge.

    I put it in the fridge if it says to assuming it might keep it fresh longer. But if I leave something pickled out overnight I will just put it back in the fridge.

  • I was just pointing out that it isn't necessary to jam 100% of GPS to have a massive impact. The odds that Russia could pull anything off is pretty small, and jamming GPS for more than a few hours is evenless likely.

  • Cut communication trunks to knock out the internet in wide areas should still be an option since storms cause those outages for non-wireless internet now. DDOS and other atracks can still overwhelm wireless communications.

    But honestly it is unlikely that being technically possible would be as successful in practice as a widespread attack as most places have a lot of redundancy built in because these kinds of threats have been around for decades.
