I’ll take some cleaning house vs 0 cleaning house.

This is like dusting the china cabinet while ignoring a giant hole in the wall from someone crashing their car through it.

Oh, I see. Carry on!

You deleted this before I read it, btw.

Okay. Thank you? I think you replied to the wrong person. I wasn’t asking for the definition of a flat rate income tax.

master/slave relationship in tech

Wait, this is a thread about branch names in git. The “master” in question would be more akin to a “master recording” from music, not master/slave software or system architecture.

Assuming you want to keep tax revenue the same, we’re talking a $27k tax bill for each adult based on 2023’s numbers (nothing newer was available).

Ordinary workers get shafted by taxes going up (rough guess, under $200k/year income) A few (TBH I’m not sure how many, really) pay about the same. Really high-income people make out like bandits.

If you think the economy is harsh for “regular joes” right now, oof. You’re in for a doozy.

How much can it cost, Michael?

Your post prompted me to check – at the “fancy” grocery store in town, I can get a dozen eggs for about $5. Same price at Aldi. Looking at Target, it’s about $4.20.

Wait, what? I usually expect Target to be more expensive than other options in the area! Strange times.

I doubt it, but ok

I’m not sure I’d count Frankenstein, tbh. I think it’s more horror than sci-fi.

I don’t think this is new; The Sleeping Dragon by Joel Rosenberg was published in 1983 where players in a tabletop RPG get whooshed into the game world at the beginning of the book. Fun series.

Black Hawk Tuah is the cause of the crash!

(Also /s, of course)

I don’t have this issue in any other apps, so yes, def a Teams thing.

What OS are you using? AFAIK there’s no way to pin the separate Teams windows to the Dock in osx.

Yes, it’s a different window.

The issue is that it’s not the first window that Teams selects when I click on it.

Blame it on the macbook if you like, but IMO Teams is at fault.

Wait, have you never heard any of the Boomer jokes about “women drivers”?

I thought their meaning was obvious. In the places you’ve paid any attention to the sex of the taxi drivers, any would-be female taxi drivers have been deterred or driven out of the job by too much harassment.

Current pet peeve: I’m in a meeting, and I click to switch to another app to check something, then I click the Teams icon to switch back to Teams. Clearly, in this case, I want to get back to the meeting.

Instead, it shows me the calendar view. WTF, Microsoft?

New Zealand. Beautiful place, and the coffee, OMFG, they really know their coffee there!

40ies

I can’t help but read this as “forty-ies” instead of “forties” 😂
