Knowing the “average” is all well and good, but doesn’t give that clear a picture. Does anyone have a source for the the median age, or better yet an age distribution graph?

There are actually several straight lacing methods:

Straight Easy

Why are we posting corporate advertising in News now?

On the Model 3, opening too quickly with the manual release can apparently damage the vehicle trim at the top of the window. The manual doesn’t give that level of detail, so all many people know is that using the manual release can damage the car.

No bother!

For customization, you want a MUD client rather than a standard telnet client. I used zMUD back in the day, but FLOSS was harder to come by back then. These days, I’d go with mudlet.

It’s the new 2/3 compromise.

I never really paid attention to the level gain ratio. I’d look here for that kind of question.

That’s an easy one - no. You can look back to various periods during middle ages Europe for examples. An even stronger one would be China from about 400 CE-800 CE

Of course, those weren’t capitalist economies - but they were economies. Capitalism’s instability is what requires constant growth to maintain. The better (and harder) questions would be what to transition to that avoids the issues of feudalism and how to transition with a minimum of societal upheaval (violence and death).

Since people are posting games, I’ll throw in Realms of Despair

But it would not work on older non-GNU versions of tar.

GNU introduced the “–foo” style long options, and it was a long time before Unix versions began adopting them.

$126,500 per person, plus another $20,240 in housing expenses. Plus your $13,850 standard deduction (though if you’re making that much you’re probably itemizing for more). So $160,590 for an individual or $321,180 for married filing jointly. That’s assuming no kids and no other deductions or credits - which is pretty unlikely at that income level.

$160,590 is the 93rd percentile for US income distribution. So yeah, if you (AND your partner, if any) are both in the top 7% income bracket, bad at tax preparation, and don’t hire an accountant, you might still pay tax on the income over that amount. Of course, making that much while keeping the kind of ethics that let you care about anyone other than yourself is a nontrivial endeavor.

Don’t forget that your foreign employer won’t be reporting to the IRS. So if your protest extends to not voluntarily reporting that excess income …

Not tipping only punishes the victim, not the employer.

Not everyone that disagrees with a law is in a position to immediately change it.

Not necessarily. There is a foreign earned income exclusion, so if you pay income taxes on it in the country where you’re living you don’t pay taxes to the US.

Because it’s a shit job with minimal pay, physically demanding, and the hours are usually cut in the off-season.

A less euphemistic term in English is “regulatory capture”

I get that this is political. Not seeing the humor.

The cost-of living crisis is so bleak that some Gen Zers genuinely fear becoming are homeless

That would be silly when they have last year’s sales numbers to go off of.

That wasn’t luck - it was best practice backup strategy.
