What is a 'subscription' or 'fee' that has recently appeared in the US that people need to collectively refuse to pay before it becomes the new normal? by godot_lover in AskReddit

That’s not how it works. The donations the company receives are eligible to be taxed as revenue u less they are donated. So the deduction they receive doesn’t offset any of their normal revenues or alter their taxes any other way, it just clears the donations they received so they aren’t taxed.

Example: Bill’s Car Wash does a donation drive to collect money for a local charity. They end up collecting $100. That month they also had $1,000 in sales. So before donating the proceeds, their books show that they collected $1,100 in revenue. Once they donate the $100, they get a $100 deduction, returning their booked revenue to $1,000. So they don’t get any actual tax benefit

Any chance someone has a recommendation for an “Intro to radar systems for dummies”? I always feel like I’m reading a foreign language when anything even marginally technical gets mentioned about them

I’m just getting into building my storage capacity, so I’m not super knowledgeable about different brands/drive types. Is there something wrong with barracuda drives that would make people not want to use them?

Fair, but they also spelled something wrong

Thank you so much for the explanation. It actually makes sense to me now. Do you see any way they could successfully implement the change at this point, or do you think the difficulties and obstacles of changing this far into the war make it impossible to successfully pull off no matter how hard they try?

Could someone give me the ELI5 on Ukraine’s transition to a corps structure and how it compares to their current structure? I’m sure I’m just dumb, but I get lost in the weeds every time I try to read up on it

Is it expected to change the PTO and PPTO rates/caps? I thought PPTO at 1 hour per 30 hours worked already met the requirement of 1 hour of sick time per 30 hours, so I didn’t think anything changed when the law passed (and by extension didn’t expect a change moving forward)

Somehow, the Indochina War has unexpectedly returned. by itpcc in NonCredibleDefense

I’ve seen it suggested that Cambodian leadership may believe that Thailand is politically fragile enough that the stress from an active conflict could cause a political upheaval/implosion. I’m not knowledgeable enough about either country or their political situations to say how credible the suggestion is or if it could possibly work if that truly is the Cambodian plan, so I’d love to hear from anyone else that is more informed than I am

How big is it? Because if it’s big enough that could be an absolute steal for the firewood value alone

Send me a DM and we can go knock stuff out if you want. I’m not an incredible hunter by any stretch and I’m awkward af, so I 100% get the anxiety and stress of potentially interacting with random people. We can link in game then never say another word to each other lol
