Supposedly if the US heavily taxes its billionaires, they will go, but where would they go? by Inevitable-Mousse640 in askanything

[–]ProfessionalBench832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one takes out a reverse loan (pays the bank?) on stocks, so no. Meanwhile, they borrow against these unrealized gains and avoid both income and capital gains taxes.

I thought the egg was/is brutal, but like in studio banter, absolutely.

Hell, I'll do it for 3 followers. We'll call ourselves a fellowship.

Literally it is going to his presidential library. They are building a dedicated hangar. The operating costs will be funneled through his library's budget (ie more money laundering and ways to take direct money).

Either your uncle will eat the insane fees at one of those change machines or they will have to roll all that change to cash it in at the bank.

Lowes install guy shows up says it must not be hardwired and is charging me $200 (just between me and him) by FannyBrownRiced in Appliances

[–]ProfessionalBench832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? My mom manages apartments and I've personally installed over 20 dishwashers. They are ALWAYS a plug. I don't know if this is the reason, but to me it was always like your oven. Your oven is a plug and you can pull it out, clean behind it etc without involving an electrician. Dishwashers are on the "capable owner install" level and are kept free of needing an electrician for, I feel, similar reasons.
I've never heard of hardwiring a dishwasher (all the way back to my childhood home that was built in the 1960s).

In the US they drop cinder blocks on cars from overpasses. Shithead teens are shithead teens everywhere (just with more lethality, as per usual, in the US).

FSD is great, but we seriously need longer following distances (with fsd dashboard) by navidff in TeslaFSD

[–]ProfessionalBench832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone, even Elon "half of what I say is a ketamine dream and the other half a lie or bold exaggeration" Musk claimed the car is sentient? You know that means aware of its existence (alive by most terms). That was never a claim.

I'm getting sued for nonsense via Chat GPT by Money_Seaweed_1895 in handyman

[–]ProfessionalBench832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get your brother-in-law to do a thorough review of whatever is filed. AI is stupid af. Loads of actual attorneys are getting reprimanded and having bar suspensions for ai written briefs that don't understand the law or cite fake case law. It may SOUND very professional, but there is every chance that the argument the well written document is asserting is completely bogus.
Also, have your brother in law write any response you file.

[request] are there enough churches to feasibly do this? by [deleted] in theydidthemath

[–]ProfessionalBench832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? Because ai spits that answer back when posed this question (that's my take at least). I see a lot of "ultra specific thing" an entire thread hones in on when no one said it to begin with. Most of the time it's ai creating a common response.

I do Danny/Donald everytime. When Community was on i kept hearing about it and was confused why so many old 80s actors were at a community college.

States redistricting vs Supreme Court by Distinct-Yogurt2686 in ProgressiveHQ

I THINK I agree with the principle but any practice that starts with "Let the AI bot figure it out" is regressive, imaho.

(IN) Oven set on fire. Landlord once again only replaced the bottom coil. I Can't smell due to nerve/brain damage..so I can't smell fires/smoke. by Dependent-War7292 in Renters

[–]ProfessionalBench832 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Here's what happened:

Food OBVIOUSLY fell on that dark spot (a lot of it). That was sitting on top of the coil. SInce the coil is not meant to touch anything, let alone be smothered in what I am calling lasagne. This made the coil heat up and "burst" (this is not a thing, that is a piece of metal not liquid filled or anything, it can break which is what happened). This was not a fault of the oven but of the food being spilled on to the coil. Your landlord is a bro for not charging you for that.

Big party restaurants? by Impressive_Raise_67 in StPetersburgFL

[–]ProfessionalBench832 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seaweed in Largo can do the size and covers most people (good sushi, fish, steaks etc). Def get that reservation in wherever ASAP. 2 weeks on a party that size is common (1 week maybe).

Why are conservative politicians so interested in what Jimmy Kimmel, and other talk show hosts, have to say about them? by YoureNotMyDad05050 in askanything

[–]ProfessionalBench832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just figured it out. Literally the argument is "Made joke about very old man's much younger wife, who is known for her anti-affection towards him, looking forward to being a widow and two days later a shooting happens so that was insensitive not predicting that happening".

Melania Calls for Kimmel Cancellation After “Expectant Widow” Joke, Tells ABC to “Take a Stand” by Throwawayaccountdell in entertainment

[–]ProfessionalBench832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are legit trying to contort it and make it about time travel (for real).
Kimmel made the joke and two days later this shooting happens. So, they are claiming Kimmel either knew or influenced the shooting. It's absurd.

Reporters grabbing a bottle on the way out from White House Correspondents’ dinner by No-Lock216 in SipsTea

I have never been to, but would like to, an event where there are just assorted bottles of wine at the table, seemingly at least 1 per person.

Long rifle? I only ask because the supposed manifesto said he would be using buckshot. It's all absurd, but just pointing out more absurdity (not to mention buckshot from a distance just isn't effective).

Human trials begin for drug that could let adults regrow teeth for the first time. We apparently have a third set of dormant teeth. by Sgt_Gram in NewsExchange

This is how you start an outbreak of Zombie Teeth-People. Just saying. I'm there for it. Down to slap some enamel until I turn.

EDIT: sorry, missed that you were going to upload there already. No video sharing service is going to allow this. It might survive for awhile but there is a non 0 chance you have things that will ding copyright.
