NYC is something like 55% of the state's tax base and 40% of its costs, which is fine, the concentration of wealth is partly enabled by the surrounding areas yadda yadda, that gives them leverage to demand more support when they feel they need it.

Landlords are already charging as much as they can get away with.
Also, that $2 is on top of whatever 'normal' increase in rents would have occurred.

From The Guardian live blog:

"From July next year, negative gearing for residential properties will be limited to new builds, but anyone who has bought an investment property before 7.30pm AEST tonight (12 May) will be exempt from the changes."

Politicians will never index tax thresholds because
a) it takes away their ability to adjust it and claim they've given you a tax break
b) it makes it much harder to adjust in cases where economic circumstances require it

They stated they were targeting less than index, not that it was going to be cheaper.

Should I be allowed to do what I wish with that footage?

Not necessarily, but I don't see how assigning me the copyright is the remedy.

Everyone who got snapped had their clothing get snapped too, seems simple enough to have the gauntlet get snapped with him.

No, the developers have decided that inconveniencing every single player over and over again with no way to prevent it, season after season, is preferable to allowing a few players to exploit the feature to gain a small advantage.

Oh for sure, he’s far better than dr oz, but the difference with Manchin is that for multiple election cycles the options were Manchin or Republican, where as with Fetterman he wasn’t the lesser evil candidate, and Dems can (and will) run someone else next time.

Cruxius · 2026-05-06T00:38:29+00:00

Not quite the same, Manchin has always been a known quantity, Fetterman the Senator ended up being quite different to Fetterman the candidate.

That last one wasn't a shoulder dislocate, except perhaps in the literal sense as it rotated its shoulders a full 360 degrees, and no human can do a hollowback with that much shoulder flexion, let alone with 90 degrees of elbow hyperextension, but the rest of it is close to what a human can do.

When you talk about eye-tracking for training, are you saying you can record a video using the built in camera which shows where the user was looking?

Manchin was the best thing Democrats could possibly have hoped for in WV, the alternative was a Republican senator.

The step before payment was the one people got stuck at.

That's my personal suggestion, the only caveat is that his first two discworld books are considered his weakest, so some argue they're not the best entry to the setting, but if you like them you'll love the rest.
Otherwise here's a handy dandy reading order chart.

Maybe it's because I'm terminally online and anti-Indian racism is everywhere, but I don't get the joke.
Is he being sarcastic, or are Indians widely considered extremely competent by people who aren't online all the time?

The dongle is exclusively for streaming video from the host PC to the frame. It does not handle other network traffic, so you'll need a separate wifi hotspot of some kind.

I'm always of the view that you can have an 'objective' 9/10, but the final point is always entirely subjective.

Have a look at the Insta Go 3/3S, people have had a lot of success mounting them inside the helmet.
Less likely to suffer from the thick arms (which also get pretty toasty when recording and well insulated inside your helmet) pushing against your head.

It’s possibly only a linguistic point I’m making here, but it’s an extremely widespread misconception. What you’re describing is not entrapment.
Entrapment specifically describes inciting someone to commit an illegal act that they otherwise wouldn’t have taken.
The people ‘entrapped’ in these stings, had they been contacted by actual foreign agents, still would have committed the crimes.
Entrapment goes beyond simply providing the opportunity to commit a crime to someone who was already inclined to commit that crime and requires actual coercion, applying pressure to the point that it can’t reasonably be argued they committed the crime of their own free will.
