George Bush the first called Dan “potatoe” Quayle the Jose Canseco of politics.

JD is making him look like it in comparison.

Weren’t they just throwing a collective temper tantrum about paper straws and how you could pry their plastic straws out of their cold dead lips?

This sounds like a brand new record! For 1990!

Ted’s wife is a bigwig with Sachs. I wonder if she had input with this.

Mostly yes.

You get people selling off companies or several depreciated rental properties, and they get hit with the tax and can’t get out of it.

There are some circumstances that they can manipulate though. When the stock market crashed in 2008, people sold off at enormous realized losses, sat on the cash for thirty days to avoid the wash rule, and bought right back in at the same low prices.

That created years worth of carried over losses that enabled them to recognize capital gains at zero tax.

It’s a reasonably common strategy called loss harvesting.

Certain flavors of stock options appear to be tax free at time of sale, but this is because the initial grant was deemed W-2 wages and was taxed when it was issued at ordinary income rates.

The entire scam of unlimited PTO is that the company doesn’t have to pay out any unused time when you leave.

It certainly doesn’t increase the time off you get while still at the company. Studies show people take less time when it’s unlimited.

Fucking Adobe PDF is becoming damn near unusable because of this. Frustrating because I absolutely have to use it all day every day.

Next up, Ken Paxton sues San Francisco State

Go choke on a two ounce kinder egg

I mean to tell you that I’m that regular. Once in the morning and I’m done until tomorrow.

And yes, I wash my body every single day. Are you telling me the paragon of asshole cleanliness that is Europeans doesn’t?

God Europeans are so eager so shit on all of us. Is it the orange monkey we elected? Is that what did it?

I know Europe loves to shit all over the US on this topic.

Unless I’m sick, well over 95% of my poops take place immediately before I shower. I don’t really see how this is any different.

To the laughy emoji, I think a Harris/Vance administration would be a lot funnier except that the assassination attempts to get Vance in there would probably occur daily.

Well earned hatred for Zuck aside, Trump really seems like he wants to imprison the entirety of the seventy percent of Americans who don’t bend the knee to him. Depending on what level of military support he garners if he manages to weasel his way back to the White House, we could realistically be looking at a Cambodia Khmer Rouge situation.

I’m not a gun guy, but I’ve seriously been thinking about getting one - not for self defense against a militarized police force or unimaginably powerful military, but as a quick out should things turn to round up the Dems bad.

I love that the GOP has essentially been trying to destroy the Ivy League since the whole Israel thing got going, but so many of them are products of said Ivy League.

I had an Apple ][+ in 1982 and an Apple ][c in 1984.

Cost less is a relative term depending on application.

They were cheaper than full business model IBM computers (who hadn’t much entered into the home computer market) but significantly more expensive than other home offerings such as commodore or (shudder) radio shack.

God I’m glad I reopened the original picture. The Folgers and fruit loops didn’t seem at all out of place with this guy, so my brain automatically assumed it was legit.

Irish person: What have the Romans ever done for us?

I went over once when they were shooting off commercial grade fireworks on a Wednesday night and feel lucky to have escaped alive. The young bulls got threatening with me until the older guy came out and spoke reason. It’s just a product of where I live.

Thanks for clarifying and just to make sure I didn’t misrepresent myself, I was absolutely not trying to bust your chops. I could see it going either way given the time period.

Here in the Texas summer it’s about seven in the morning. Annoying, but everybody realizes that if you go out any later, you’re gonna die of heat stroke.
