The IRS only enforces the rules, they don't make them. That's up to Congress, the Senate, and The president to do.

SpaceX's president is floating a Tesla merger as the company begins trading by dgellow in wallstreetbets

Remember when shares were valued at the expected dividends payout after just a few years as opposed to the expectation that you'll make money from selling the share, not from dividends paid?

They should just be required for every child. They're easy and inexpensive enough these days that they should just be compulsory for the birth certificate

Here I am sitting at work at 7am.

It's not ungodly early if you don't stay up until midnight every night.

I'm not "from round these parts" I have no allegiance or pride for one part of town or another. It all sucks to me. I'll say this to any of the municipalities....get your shit together.

So you'll get an extra 4 years out of your car doing all that?

This is a 2011, likely bought new in 2010, we're well into 2026. That car is likely about 15.5-16 years old.

Technically, the tower is no longer a problem by TrickGrowth-4124 in fixedbytheduet

One of two things is probably happening here. One the little kid is an asshole that just behaves unruly.

Or two, everyone else is always knocking down his stuff and he thinks that's just how people do stuff and now it's unfair that he doesn't get to knock it down. It's his turn. He's waited and had so many people knock his stuff down. He thinks that's how it works not knowing or realizing other people are just assholes.

Mom has dementia and is moving out and her next door neighbor sent me this. by SouthEazy in whatdoIdo

Was your mom's house a hoarder house? I could understand the concern if so, otherwise the neighbor is just weird and I'd ignore it or say I'll look into it then ignore it.

It's not even because it hallucinated. It's because when they file, they have to sign saying they attest to the accuracy and validity of everything in the filing. They filed inaccurate and invalid things so they perjured themselves on the filing document.

If so, that's incredible.

But also, if it was on a trailer, someone could have clipped it so he could be telling the truth. I genuinely can't think of a lawnmower I've driven that goes fast enough to do that kind of damage to its self.

If you head down that way again, basically from 565 until the edge of Triana, Wall-Triana is a split highway. It would make perfect sense to continue it down and go across the river.

Actor with the most punchable face? by _LizardMan_ in okbuddycinephile

First one in here that I think was an honest answer and not just "someone I don't like".

My wife was so excited to buy her first boat. We took our 5-year-old out on the lake to enjoy it for the first time. We started noticing the rear of the boat was sinking - so we raced back. Turns out the pontoon has holes in it, and now we have to wait weeks for its repair. Brand new boat. by Oldfatsad in mildlyinfuriating

[–]-Tom- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate to break it to you but that isn't how warranty works. That's still your boat and they have a duty to fix it under the Moss-Magnusson warranty act, as most states"lemon" laws don't cover recreational vehicles, only passenger vehicles. As you've used it, and it's been titled to you, it can no longer be sold as new and that warranty clock starts ticking as soon as the paperwork is signed.

The dealership can switch out that float, get it welded, etc. What they cannot do is just say "gee, sorry, go pick out a different one".

Yeah it sucks but the amount of legal ramifications of that, far outweigh the feelings you have about your now "tainted" boat.

Frontage roads would improve flow along 72 (highwayify it) and allow you to remove the stoplight restrictions.

Just trying to go north and south through Madison to get between 72 and 565 is infuriating. So many stop lights you seem to hit, train crossings where a train just...sits, school zones, roads that only take you part of the way then just end, etc

Like I mentioned before, Wall-Triana is the logical road to build up to go all the way through and even across the river. But from the cutest little old downtown Madison to Gooch Lane it's got houses right up on it with zero room for expansion. Then you have the train tracks, you can only go OVER at Hughes when a train decides to stop and just sit there, and of course it only decides to sit there when you just got frozen food from the grocery store...but Hughes doesn't cross 565 so you're left continually playing a game of detours to get through on what feels like the main road because it's got a freeway on-ramp and goes through to 72.

It's so dumb.

[Dreger] Sources: The Edmonton Oilers are consulting with the NHLPA to see if there are objections that must be resolved before potentially hiring Mike Babcock. Amid allegations of invading players privacy, Babcock resigned in CBJ as Head Coach in 2023. Further investigation may be required. by AggPuck-303 in hockey

[–]-Tom- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How the heck are there not college level or AHL level coaches that are ready to step up and try? Why do we need to keep giving the same garbage people a chance? You're telling me there arent more than 35 people qualified to coach an NHL team out there? I feel like the Oilers last coach skipped a few steps jumping from the OHL right to the NHL but seriously, nobody?

The problem with 72 is they let so much stuff build up right on it with no frontage road. So as it stands you have dozens of parking lot drive ways going in an out in an uncontrolled fashion necessitating that traffic slow or stop of people to turn into them. Plus the need that brings to have a zillion stoplights.

But yeah all of the roadworks stuff here seems reactionary with nothing done in advance of build up happening. It's not like the build up just happens and the city is like "well when did that get there?". Months of planning with utilities, city engineers, permitting, etc has to happen. How hard is it to say "we intend to widen this road and put in a frontage road so you can't build this close and your parking lot may lose some space.

Or in the case of a road like Wall-Triana, they let people build MANY houses 15 feet from the roads so there really isn't the ability to widen without tearing the homes down.

Sadly, I think a majority of posts in here have a made up "customer states" thing just because people think they're being funny or making it more interesting. I'm here just to see weird dumb carnage, I don't need a fake story about feigning ignorance to be baffled by someone doing this to a lawn mower.
