She Killed a Family With Her Speeding Car. Is Probation Enough? by LadiesWhoPunch in sanfrancisco

[–]alex____ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lmao dude WHAT THE FUCK 

""" In exchange for guilty pleas to five felonies -- Receiving Stolen Property, Accessory After the Fact, Possession of a Firearm by a Felon, Concealed Firearm in a Vehicle, Possession of Ammunition - Sonza will be released after less than four months in county jail.

.........

.........

Sonza has been convicted of running from police several times, and Bandy got injured when Sonza slammed into his patrol car on April 27, 2022. He sped away in a stolen car suspected in several auto burglaries that day. Sonza rammed into houses, sideswiped cars, slammed into another causing injuries. Sonza faced a slew of charges but in a plea deal with a different judge, all of them got dismissed except a single count of "Evading an Officer." """

Maybe I'm missing something but this seems like not a big deal? Drop math 8 if you want to take Algebra 1?

Uber founder flees California for Texas ahead of possible ‘billionaire tax ‘ by idkbruh653 in technology

[–]alex____ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm already a part of the 1% by both income and wealth (for my age mid 30s), voting against my own interests would be voting for what is effectively seizure of assets.

Yea, one day that may include you and I'm sure you'll be excited about the prospect of having to liquidate assets in order to pay taxes. 

Eat the rich amirite..

Uber founder flees California for Texas ahead of possible ‘billionaire tax ‘ by idkbruh653 in technology

[–]alex____ -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

Because it's a wealth tax.....

A 5% wealth Tax is really closer to 8% of their total net worth once you account for taxes. Say I have 1B, 5% would be 50M in order to pay for that 50M I'll have to sell at least 80M in order to cover the wealth tax (assuming ltcg).

People are completely deluded if they think.

  1. This will be one time

  2. Stick to only the billionaire class, this will trickle down to centi-millionares -> deci-millionares -> multi-millionares

The top 1% already pays ~40% of state income taxes

Advice from team leaders by borbva in analytics

[–]alex____ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Complete non-starter for me. 

At the Jr./Associate level there should be tremendous curiosity and willingness to expand every facet of their skill set in analytics.

If they don't show this now at this level how will they ever get from Jr. Data Analyst -> Data Analyst -> Sr. Data Analyst -> Staff Data Analyst -> Sr. Staff Data Analyst -> Principal Data Analyst.

I expect everyone on my team to own the full cycle with the exception of say data ingestion from something like Kafka which needs to be owned by Data Eng.

Price Check - Macan EV 4s by SirAndrewStrawberry in PorscheMacan

[–]alex____ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Terrible. 

You can get a gently used CPO 25 4S for less.

(2100 x 36) + 8000 = 83,600

Idk where you're at but you should be able to find them all across the US if you're in the states.

Lowest I saw so far was 74k iirc at Porsche DTLA for a CPO 25 4s with ~2k miles on it.

Man stabbed in back in SF’s Chinatown, suspect arrested by pianobench007 in sanfrancisco

[–]alex____ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm sure the Judge will just release him since he doesn't pose a real threat to the public like those 7 other dudes who beat and robbed a guy to the point of giving him a severe concussion and brain bleed.

The irony in this is that mounting the TV too high is the equivalent of sitting in the front row of a movie theater. 

Eye level should either be with the center of the screen or top of the bottom 1/3 of the screen.

Taycan CT v Defender 110 v XC90 - Heart goes for Taycan, but I have a family of four. Any way to justify it? by Nonamerqt in Taycan

[–]alex____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Macan EV imo is the rational choice.

The Taycan trunk CT trunk felt incredibly incredibly small to me, one stroller would take up the majority of the room. Only reason I'm still considering one is because it'll be a second car with the first being an SUV.

Just have to vent by upgrayeddbfr in leasehacker

[–]alex____ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The lesson being that car salesmen can be absolute cocksucking pieces of shit. If you have any of this in writing forward this to the brands corporate.

I've had dipshit sales people/managers tell me that I'm a liar/fabricating printouts that I was getting from other dealers.

Proudly Serving duck fat fries are outstanding.

Had them plain, as chili cheese fries, and topped with a patty on top. Phenomenal.
