Adding mass transit, incentives for work-from-home, etc. are all good. Taxing miles driven will reduce miles driven. Just taxing EV miles to make up for lost gas tax revenue probably won’t affect miles driven, except for EV drivers. It provides no new reason for GVs to drive less.

But, Brawndo has what plants crave. It has electrolytes.

That’s perfect, Arth. Thank you.

You may have missed the “Save” button at the bottom of the settings page. I missed it the first try. :-(

I will look at that, but I am not sure it would work smoothly. The interface requires me to “Inquire” after two of the steps.

Would you want to be responsible for checking IDs over the internet? No sane company would want to be responsible for getting it wrong.

Also, would you be willing to send a scan of your drivers license to a porn website? Any website?

Also, say why. I would prefer to see subscriptions because I come here to see what’s popped up in those magazines, not what’s in some other magazines.

This would work, but it would be better if you had to pay for by the miles on your vehicle rather than tolls on any particular road.

“Oreo was created in 1912 as an imitation of Hydrox.”

I have to enter data into payroll for when a teacher covers a class for an absent teacher. Usually, there are 5 teachers who I pay for one hour each. Each teacher has an ID number.

To pay one teacher I have to enter their ID number. Select their job code from a drop down list, tell the database I am adding to it by choosing or entering A in a box. Then I have to pull the date from a drop down list. Then I enter the digit 1 (to pay 1 hour). Then I enter the ID number of the absent teacher. Then I enter the sub request number created by the absent teacher. Then I click “change.”

I have to do this for all 5 teachers that covered the class. One-at-an-effing-time.

If I had a “dev” handy, I would say, let me enter the ID, date, and job number for the absent teacher. Let me list the 5 substituting teacher id numbers, and the 1 hour should be the default.

Of course there will never be a ‘dev’ around because my county purchased the payroll software and no one who is anywhere near using it gets to make the purchasing decisions.

I’m sorry, but I CANNOT agree. Coffee smells MUCH BETTER than weed. In fact, I think weed smells terrible. It reminds me of skunks. I would much rather smell coffee.

I can’t stand searching for a product on Amazon anymore. If I really want to use Amazon, it’s much more efficient to find the amazon link using duck duck go.

What? Haven’t you heard about trickle-down economics? Are you saying trickle-down doesn’t work?!?!

I also like Tusky for Mastodon because you can also use it to open up your Pixelfed account.

I don’t care for Karma-farming, but I liked having some way to tell if someone was a real community member or a throw-away account. I liked that there were some subreddits that wouldn’t let you post if you had low karma because it helped hold back the trolls.

You can spread powder on the floor so you could see if someone had stepped in. It wouldn’t keep them out unless they didn’t want anyone to know they’d been in there.

After setting up my family for life, I’d use the rest to start a micro-lending company for small businesses to get started or expand. I’d open them next to dollar stores and hire lots of bilingual people. We’d have free business plan advice, too. For fun I’d buy houses in lousy neighborhoods, fix them up and fit them out with solar and geothermal systems, then offer to trade the house with a neighbor and repeat the process. This would cost money but a billion can go a long way one house at a time and see step one.

Oh, I would TOTALLY buy some US Senators. You think I could afford both Sinema & Manchin?

Finding advertisers, billing advertisers, and collecting from advertisers is all work you can avoid of your users just give you money.

I’ve been chipping in for my mastodon server for over a year. The admin there posts the finances so we all know when it’s time to kick in again, but if we went to a paid rather than donated set-up, then I’d be OK with that. If my admin decided that he needed to run ads that were like printed newspaper ads then I wouldn’t mind so much. But ads that track me, ads that change size, ads that show up and block some or all of the screen, ads that play video and audio, pretend to be content etc are the ads I dislike and I would flee.
