bitwaba,

Yes, but its not as aggressive as it seems: 1) the US gives a tax-free amount up to ~$100,000 earned abroad, and 2) that’s after deducting the tax you paid to the country you earned it in (as an example, say you earned $100,000 abroad and paid 30% tax, you’d only have to report $70,000, and because that 70k is below the tax-free amount (in the $100k neighborhood), you don’t owe any additional tax in the US.

HOWEVER, the tax-free break is only given if you file your taxes. If the IRS decides you need to be audited, and you didn’t file (because you live in a different country and think it’s absurd to have to file taxes to a country you didn’t earn that money in), you lose the tax free amount (which basically means you can be double taxed).

bitwaba,

Completely agree. My favorite scene in the show is in the first episode when the second in command dude gets told off by the station commander about how the troopers were off doing some shit they shouldn’t be doing and ended up picking a fight with the wrong person. You get everything you need to know about in that series in like 2 minutes of dialogue. You can see the bureaucracy, the dedication/patriotism, the “grey area” where the bad guys are bad but the good guys are bad too. And most importantly no cute fucking animals. We just get a straight up world building story with real humans that treats the audience like real adults capable of complex thought that can understand the nuance of why conflict arrises.

bitwaba,

Yes! excellent example. Thank you!

bitwaba,

I think a lot of the way executives handle things like this is very similar to how kids handle problems. They continue to try to cover it up and downplay it in hopes that everything will be over soon and no one will talk about it. They say “this is an adjustment” or “it’s a transitory period” while continuing to do additional lay offs and saying “we just need to put this all behind us”, instead of ripping the bandaid off.

Just treat people like another adult on equal footing with you. It’s not that hard.

How often do you back up?

I was wondering how often does one choose to make and keep back ups. I know that “It depends on your business needs”, but that is rather vague and unsatisfying, so I was hoping to hear some heuristics from the community. Like say I had a workstation/desktop that is acting as a server at a shop (taking inventory / sales...

bitwaba,

How often do you update your off-site backups?

bitwaba,

I’ve been dist updating my fileserver for a decade and noticed over the last year or so that I’m using considerably more disk space than I expected on my OS drive. I see a lot of Snap installs (which I’d rather not use), and am getting messages from apt update telling me there’s additional security packages if I switch to some Ubuntu paid subscription or something.

I don’t really care to look more into it. I’ve been meaning to rebuild the hardware anyways, and will probably install Arch or Debian.

Yeah, that’s what I said. Fem-men with anime body pillows.

I use Arch BTW

That’s just a bread loaf with cheese on top

bitwaba,

If it’s not covered and doesn’t have FILLINGS rather than TOPPINGS, it’s simply not a pie.

Where does that put key lime pie and lemon meringue pie? Or pumpkin pie and pecan pie? Are they not pies because they’re not covered?

bitwaba,

I understand that. That’s why I was asking the person that made the claim to clarify.

bitwaba,

If you can remember this, you can remember how to save and quit

What is Something Scientific that you just don't believe in at all?

EDIT: Let’s cool it with the downvotes, dudes. We’re not out to cut funding to your black hole detection chamber or revoke the degrees of chiropractors just because a couple of us don’t believe in it, okay? Chill out, participate with the prompt and continue with having a nice day. I’m sure almost everybody has something...

bitwaba,

Here’s a really crazy thing that we do: have Mac & cheese made by someone other than Kraft. It actually is exceptional.

bitwaba,

OpenSUSE.

it works, but no one’s heard of it.

bitwaba,

Boned and deboned mean the same thing.

or, Child of Men. It’s just a remake of 3 men and a baby.
