  • they're not even the person who said that. Neither of squiblet's posts even contains the word "nothing". Drink some coffee

  • That might be one of the least flattering pictures ever taken of President Biden lol

  • It does, doesn't it?

    I think it's the warmer lights. Subconsciously we know that stuff is supposed to stay there only temporarily, I suppose.

  • Did you click through to the first article I linked? I called them performative because corporations just exploit loopholes to avoid paying their dues anyway.

    I understand the importance of raising taxes on the wealthy. However, I also understand that those efforts will be meaningless if they aren't backed up on the enforcement side.

  • Here's hoping the person(s) responsible for these crimes are swiftly brought to justice.

  • A really powerful statement, and I completely understand their decision.

  • These people must have hated it when Biden created a 15% minimum corporate tax rate.

    If the status quo is any indication, corporate tax rules are largely performative. I would be happy to be wrong about that and see actual enforcement happen as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act, but I'm not gonna hold my breath.

    There is some detailed guidance about the CAMT I found here, but someone with more specific knowledge will have to parse through it to determine how easily they are gonna be able to dodge this, too.

  • Maybe it's similar to the glitch on kbin.social where if you are composing a reply but load a different thread before you send your reply, you can reply on the wrong thread?

    Their account is reasonably old and their older replies look authentic.

  • I've said this for a long time, but we don't even need to make radical changes to the tax code. I bet if we fix the loopholes so that companies can't avoid paying the (21%) tax they are SUPPOSED TO BE paying with clever accounting, the extra $8+ billion annually would move mountains.

    Not that radical changes to the tax code aren't also a good idea.
    edit: grammar

  • It's a bit over my head but the gist I'm getting is that you can do more interesting things when you can go from simply predicting the heat dissipation of a component, to controlling that heat dissipation.

    While there have been efforts in tuning thermal conductivity, their performances have suffered due to reliance on moving parts, ionic motions, or liquid solution components. This has resulted in slow switching speeds for heat movement on the order of minutes or far slower, creating issues in performance reliability as well as incompatibility with semiconductor manufacturing.

  • ...Huh.

    Guess we're gonna hit the singularity soon or die trying

  • It's a 15-minute old account, I'm sure they created it just to troll with.

  • Your point is valid. You may want to use "raises the question" going forward though — begging the question has a slightly different meaning and usage.

  • Whoosh

    Pretty sure they were taking the piss

  • The interoperability of Fediverse platforms is so cool!!! Don't even have to leave the site you're on to contact someone in a completely different style of site. I love to see it.

  • Left guy has Ty Burrell as Phil Dunphy energy

  • As another commenter said, that's because it's not the official site!

  • That got a chuckle. Genuinely curious, how'd that work out for you?

  • They are the account whose comment is collapsed as off-topic
