Yeah and it seems obvious that they shouldn’t be driving vehicles where people are laying. This is the third person I’ve heard of being run over by police on a beach this summer.

Thanks, I think the RGB shirt might be custom to him because the same image is his YouTube channel’s profile header image.

Does Technology Connections sell shirts? In most of his recent videos he has worn a black shirt with zoomed in RGB pixels from a digital display and I’ve been looking for it everywhere because I work in a related industry.

Thanks I’m going to give this a try.

Lol I had to examine that to check for Saddam or the nutty putty cave guy.

No problem! When I was picking out which search engines or “plugins” to install, I visited most of the sites on the list and chose the ones I had heard of plus some other ones that looked like they were for English content. Some of the sites were clearly for other languages or for niches like anime, so just pick out whichever ones are relevant to your interests and then you’ll be able to search all of their databases instantly without dealing with their terrible websites and just get the magnet link.

Have you tried using the search engine built into qBittorent? For example, here is what it looks like when searching for Paw Patrol S01:

Check out TrackerControl on the F-Droid app store. It lets you block Internet access to individual apps and selectively block trackers and other analytics. It does this by acting as a VPN in the android OS so it won’t work while on another VPN but that’s good enough for my needs.

Thanks! Here’s a website I started making but haven’t updated since I started the new job.

The day before the first day of work from home I got fired from my engineering job at an oil company. Soon after I smoked weed occasionally for the first time in years after having received random drug tests. Unemployment extensions were nice too!

I bought a big laser cutter and started making art. Spent more time helping out at the local artist collective sprucing things up.

Eventually I got hooked up with a cool LED art installation company helping them install their projects as a freelancer. Now I’m full time with them!

It’s lower pay than the oil company but it is so much more rewarding, interesting, cooler people, better work/life balance. Overall the pandemic was fun times for me personally.

I agree it needs to be a highly progressive tax. I’m generalizing because we’re discussing international tax law and I don’t know the income cutoffs for different countries.

Double taxation is a real concern only if the inheritance tax affects very low income individuals. A family who shares a car or a struggling family restaurant might have a very difficult time if they are forced to pay an unexpected tax bill.

I’m specifically talking about very low income families since I am talking about the general pros and cons of applying an inheritance tax to all citizens since we are discussing why the inheritance tax might have been removed in Austria / German. I’m not familiar with international tax law to be more specific about income levels so I’m trying ro cover all bases.

If a poor family is sharing a car or a family restaurant, it could be very damaging to have to pay tax on these assets if they don’t have savings.

I understand that this doesn’t apply to families with large assets and I agree that an inheritance tax is generally a good thing when applied progressively.

Thank you for that information. The article is about a German / Austrian woman so I was summarizing the pros and cons of an inheritance tax which might apply to any country since I don’t know the specifics of their law or why they changed it it.

I think this viewpoint assumes that everyone lives independently. A lot of families function as units and they all live and work together. If you inherit post-tax income from a family member, then the money has been fairly taxed regardless of your viewpoint.

Why should you have to pay the government to inherit your late-parent’s car or business? What happens if you can’t afford to pay the tax?

For the low income families this can make or break a person’s way of life, for the 1% it is a way of hoarding the world’s wealth and maintain power.

For regular people, an inheritance tax is not great. For the ultra-wealthy it should be mandatory.

Arguments against an inheritance tax:

• Double taxation: Critics argue that inheritance taxes are a form of double taxation, since the assets being inherited have already been taxed once during the decedent’s lifetime.
• Hurts small businesses: Family-owned businesses can face hardship if they must be sold off to pay inheritance taxes.
• Discourages investment: Inheritance taxes can disincentivize people from saving and investing, as they know a portion of their wealth will go to the government.

Arguments for an inheritance tax:

• Reduces wealth inequality: Inheritance taxes help to redistribute wealth from the very wealthy to the rest of society, reducing income inequality.
• Prevents concentration of power: By limiting the ability of wealth to be passed on unchecked, inheritance taxes can help to prevent excessive concentration of economic and political power in the hands of a few families.
• Source of government revenue: Inheritance taxes can be a significant source of revenue for governments, which can be used to fund social programs and public goods.

That’s surprising that the black box overwrites itself after 2 hours of recording. This article linked to an article I missed about how the plane that had the door/panel fall off had the cockpit audio overwritten because it wasn’t collected in time.

Probably a bit of both? It says that women are having their first child at the age of 33.6, the oldest in the OECD. The older you have a child the more difficulty you will have so they also put money into fertility clinics. This means low fertility rates.

It’s not necessarily a health issue on a mass scale but an economic issue driving people to delay having children until they feel they can handle the responsibility. This causes low birth rates below 1.

Humans aren’t the only species on Earth. Mass extinction is bad for everyone living on this planet, mostly the other animals who suffer our destruction. I wish we could just live in equilibrium without killing off every species that isn’t worth farming.

Earth is currently experiencing a sixth mass extinction, according to scientists.

Side note: here at the airport you check your flight information by just walking up to a screen and it uses facial recognition to instantly pull up your flight information, gate, seat, etc. lol. Completely different comfort level with cameras here haha…
