Comparatively, in the US a $90k USD salary is about $10,415 in federal taxes.

However, my family healthcare is about $22k in premiums alone, for a high-deductible plan. This includes the employer-paid portion, as that is part of my total compensation package. Then there is the deductible ($5k) before the insurance starts paying out. And this is not including Medicare/SS taxes as well.

Also known as a Xolo dog.

Conveniently, a Xolo dog named Dante was Miguel’s alebrije in the movie Coco.

Artist Diego Rivera was known to be fond of Xolo dogs, and there are pictures of him with his dog and Frida Kahlo, whose likeness also had a cameo in Coco and identified Dante as both a Xolo and an Alebrije.

jasondj,

Sure did. I’ve lived in RI my whole life save for when I lived just barely into MA about 5 years ago.

Pardon the Reddit link, but as soon as I saw a before and after a few months ago, I was awestruck.

jasondj,

Could’ve been a makeshift hook. Or a lock pin/bolt (literally) for one of those simple gate latches.

jasondj,

I remember seeing a giant jug of Cotton Candy at Walmart that said “A naturally fat-free food!”

Like, no shit, obviously, it’s literally sugar and food coloring.

Texas church defies government crackdown by blessing drag queens (www.lgbtqnation.com)

The Cathedral of Hope — an LGBTQ±affirming United Church of Christ in Dallas, Texas — has made a concerted effort to defend the queer community from “persecution,” as the state government targets drag queens and transgender people....

jasondj,

I checked and Mrs Doubtfire doesn’t have any dates in Texas on their calendar.

Jagged Little Pill will be in Dallas in January though. That show is…a bit, what they would call, “woke”. And there’s a character who was originally non-binary but now I think she was rewritten as lesbian.

Oh, wasn’t Roxie Hart played by a transgender black woman for a bit?

jasondj,

Personally I think gas is still too cheap.

Gas should be prohibitively expensive. It’s price should reflect its impact.

Unfortunately this would crumble the entire US and possibly western economy. It works in most of the rest of the world because the commutes are smaller and the alternative transit is plentiful.

jasondj,

Usually I pipe my cats to more, but to each their own.

jasondj,

Is “sweet pee” an appropriate pet name for a T1D SO? Asking for a friend.

jasondj,

Most retail nut milk is actually mixed with a variety of gums and other texture enhancers.

Fresh, homemade oat milk is actually really easy to make by that process, but store-bought oat milk needs to have consistent flavor and texture/mouth-feel. So there is a bit more that goes into it.

This is also true of other non-dairy milks. That’s why I only use Trader Joe’s or Westsoy shelf-stable soy milk for making yogurt. No gums.

jasondj,

My kid was on a tee ball team with the coaches youngest son. The coaches two older sons were assistant coaches and the youngest was named “Maverick”.

Like, yeah, that kids set up to become an MLB Superstar. Or at least a washed-up alcoholic former Double-A in player.

jasondj,

Funny story, specifically on the name “Idaho”, from Wikipedia’s article on the state, “Etymology” Section:

The name’s origin remains a mystery.[9] In the early 1860s, when the U.S. Congress was considering organizing a new territory in the Rocky Mountains, the name “Idaho” was suggested by George M. Willing, a politician posing as an unrecognized delegate from the unofficial Jefferson Territory.[10] Willing claimed that the name was derived from a Shoshone term meaning “the sun comes from the mountains” or “gem of the mountains”,[11] but it was revealed later that there was no such term and Willing claimed that he had been inspired to coin the name when he met a little girl named Ida.[12] Since the name appeared to be fabricated, the U.S. Congress ultimately decided to name the area Colorado Territory instead when it was created in February 1861, but by the time this decision was made, the town of Idaho Springs, Colorado had already been named after Willing’s proposal.

The same year Congress created Colorado Territory, a county called Idaho County was created in eastern Washington Territory. The county was named after a steamship named Idaho, which was launched on the Columbia River in 1860. It is unclear whether the steamship was named before or after Willing’s claim was revealed. Regardless, part of Washington Territory, including Idaho County, was used to create Idaho Territory in 1863.[13] Idaho Territory would later change its boundaries to the area that became the U.S. state.[14]

jasondj,

It’s a shame. Linus was and is far more deserving of respect for his contributions to technology than Bill Gates or Steve Jobs. Probably even Woz. But he’s by far down the line in terms of fame and fortune. Except maybe Woz.

jasondj,

Have a routine set up.
