That's why I said full time worker. If I work for company A, but 90% of my time is dedicated to company B. My effort primarily benefits company B, therefore my compensation counts to company B. Really causes a problem for companies that employs sweatshops.

I like corporate taxes being tied to the ratio of the highest compensated full time worker and the lowest compensated worker. Note that I specifically said compensation and not wages and full time worker and not employee.

If the highest compensation package is stock options worth 30 million and the lowest compensation is an "independent contractor", that scrapes by on 30k a year. The ratio is 1000, some standard equation would then define the corporate tax rate. Hopefully a ratio that high would be 100%

A few years ago, my wife and I left the Mormon church. That helped a lot. Along that line coffee makes me happy.

I get the frustration, but I also get where the authorities are coming from. Imagine if precident gets set that a political candidate can be mired down in lawsuits, regardless if they're plausible or not. Then someone like trump comes along and says cool that worker great against me, I'll just throw a shit ton of made up lawsuits and cases against all my future opponents.

Made me think of the first season of Halt and Catch Fire.

Or is it like a Y2K death trolly and when the overflow happens the universe doesn't catch the exception and things get weird. Like suddenly any number can be divided by 0.

Santorini, Wizards of the Grimoire, Abalone, Rummikube, Phase 10. I'll ask the wife for more later.

Pretty sure they'd take everything you just wrote and say, "that sounds like critical race theory, which Jesus said was bad."

Shudder. I had this weird brand laptop... Sotec IIRC and there just wasn't a modline that ever got it all right.

Xserver... Somehow trying to find the magic string of letters and numbers that made your screen work.

Similar boat. Getting my snoring looked into. Got a sleep study done and now I'm having an ent do a scoping to see what's actually vibrating and what can be done.

Jameson old fashioned is my jam. Just started drinking a few years ago, but it's already a favorite drink.

 

I'm celebrating my datahoarding problem.

 

Other than some shelves that I made for my office. This is the first piece of furniture I've ever made. Lots and lots of mistakes and do-overs. Still, I think it turned out pretty good.

Coffee table. 2 36"x36" sheets of birch ply, with 1/8" Poplar hobby boards glued/nailed to it in the design. The ply was stained with homemade Iron Acetate stain. Then epoxy was poured onto the recessed parts and in all the cracks. Then the whole thing was sanded again and covered in many coats of Lacquer... lost count.

The table uses a mechanism ordered from AliExpress that folds out to a table. It pops up, and to the left, then the top of the coffee table is rotated over the other "legs" of the mechanism, and it becomes this table. Just high enough to comfortably game from the sofa. (The plywood surface was stained with Minwax Golden Oak and coated in about ten coats of lacquer.)
