I’ll offer a near miss.

Chat amongst colleagues over a coffee, the topic was something very normal and mundane: how lazy are we about cooking.

My colleague Carol said, “sometimes I just throw some chicken nuggets in the toaster because I don’t care or have the energy”

My response I intercepted between the brain and mouth: “living the bachelor lifestyle, carol?”

Carol’s husband had died quite suddenly 6 months prior. I didn’t fuck up, but I almost did and it haunts me still over a decade later.

Lol I’m going to call bullshit.

You mean to tell me that all of Denmark, with the exception of Fyn, is absolute nuclear, but Fyn is stem?

Does not compute.

My situation is I have an ability to recall a lot of really old information and some of it seemingly mundane. I can also synthesize all this together to make a good decision quickly.

This is basically what learning is, but it’s a broader base I can pull from and the process is just faster.

I don’t do well with forcing specific information to be cataloged. This means I wasn’t a great student in classes where you needed to just remember things (eg history).

The other thing I’ve got going for me is being able to visually see things in my head. It might be memories, but it’s also things for solving problems like this https://www.intelligencetest.com/questions/visualization/medium/3/8.html

4 looks too spork like. No thanks

Head of 2, body of 5.

I’m gonna fuck a waffle, marry pancakes, and kill french toast.

Like who even invited french toast to breakfast.

Yeah it’s really there to guide how fucked up it can be and not really be mega prescriptive. It’s not like quantities are on there, either.

Ideally a fire department shows up, sees the signs and then gets in contact with the building owner to start being more specific about what’s ahead of them before they just start dumping a ton of water on the building.

Section 4.2.3.3 of NFPA 704 guides how to handle multiple chemicals.

You can combine the worst of each category into a composite, list each individually, or do a hybrid option.

The posts saying there are two chemicals are true but likely incomplete… There are probably several different chemicals and they decided to go with the hybrid method.

My guess is that they combined the worst rating of everything that doesn’t need special handling, and have a stand alone for the chemical that is incompatible with water (or even combined for several chemicals that are incompatible with water).

Isn’t that one of the clear use cases?

My personal thoughts are:

• Close carried interest loop holes
• Tax loans against unrealized gains on securities and physical property (excluding ones primary residence). You should not be able to take a billion dollar loan out to avoid capital gains taxes. I’m fine that this raises the basis for when the asset is sold. Well, someone do the math if there’s a loophole this creates? But hopefully my intent is clear.
• Social security and Medicare tax applies to all income. Shares granted as part of compensation should also have social taxes payable on grant.
• Increase the tax brackets above the current max of 37% for income above $609k… Every 250kish above should increase by 2% until you reach 50% (about 2.5m)

That money should then be used for:

• Increasing social security payouts
• Expanding medicare access
• Increasing the limits for the tax brackets on the progressive scale for incomes below 250k

To boost the bottom:

• Stock buybacks are illegal except for the purposes of distributing stock to employees. This counts for executives but cannot exceed some multiple of their cash salary
• 20% of money flagged as dividend payments to shareholders should be distributed to employees as profit sharing into their retirement account. There needs to be rules around the max differential between the highest and lowest disbursement.

“However, one of the 14 crew members on the Portuguese-flagged Solong cargo ship is missing, the vessel’s owner Ernst Russ says.”

The Solong.

The universe is trolling us.

Did that with star wars ep 7, 8, 9. Of course there was stuff I didn’t love but I didn’t walk away from the movie feeling robbed.

There’s obviously truth to there being diminishing returns, but this chart is garbage.

To also explain a part of the American tax system… people who are super excited to get a ton of money back on their taxes via refunds are complete idiots.

That’s a direct function of paying too much withholding and not calibrating against their relevant deductions. Some of these people also feel that their tax burden has gone up if their refund is smaller from one year to the next, which may or may not be accurate.

And you have a leap year in a non even year

My favorite old guy I worked with, I was around 25 at the time, he was early 70s.

We used to joke that I’d call him with a wake up call when I was getting home from the bar, and he could return the favor when he took his morning break. He was in the office every day at 5:30.

Easily my favorite show of the last 5 years

This was pretty solid! I started it expecting it to be background noise while I doom scrolled… But I got absolutely hooked

The answer is Wallace. Every old dude with a desk near me has been a solid guy who shuts the fuck up and always makes coffee before I get in.
