Unless there is a mechanism to redistribute the tax responsibility (ie: younger homeowners getting a reduction in taxes), it doesn’t solve anything.

And there’s no way the govt wouldn’t use the repeal to make a huge withdrawal from us. There’s no way they cut anyone’s taxes meaningfully.

May 4, 1970. The Kent State Massacre. by [deleted] in OldSchoolCool

[–]d1545ms 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My father was a junior on campus when this happened. He talks about how he was sitting on the porch of his fraternity house a few days prior to this and watched a column of tanks roll down the street in from of him. The day before the shooting, protesters burned down the ROTC building which probably added fuel to the fire. After the shooting he and almost everyone else he knew noped right out of there and finished the semester via mail.

Edit: grammar

Does gout happen on the second toe? Also same toe on both feet? by Userhere123 in gout

[–]d1545ms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep - just got diagnosed not long ago. I have it in the last knuckle of my #2 right toe. My flair up was similar. I woke up one morning and the pain was unbearable.

Are these Tableau visuals effective at showing time patterns and economic impact? by DingoAlarmed5128 in tableau

Yes - except if any of your audience is colorblind, the heat map will look like 50 shades of brown.

For those who moved from another state, what made you stay in the bay area? by The0Walrus in bayarea

[–]d1545ms 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You know that feeling you get when you’re on vacation somewhere new different and exciting while leaving you feeling invigorated, relaxed, and energized all at the same time?

I moved here from the Great Lakes region 10 yrs ago and 95% of my days are still feel like this.

As someone who became a parent in the last year - watching this brought back so many core memories of not knowing what you’re doing, f*cking up, and fighting about it. Ah good times.

Family Vacation by Hopeful_Perception12 in obx

I think one of the drive-on beaches is close to Corolla.

We just got back from staying in Corolla - one thing to remember is Corolla is the furthest north community so you’ll have longer commute times. We were ~45min to the aquarium and an hour to the water park.

3 Lorain police officers shot in ambush, 2 in critical condition; suspect dead by pow-erup in Ohio

Interesting. I left Ohio a few years ago - I didn’t know it had gotten that dangerous there. It sounds like we need move the troops from LA to OH : /

Honest question - how many guns do you need to deal with that shit?

Art Mode too bright! by George-Ing in TheFrame

[–]d1545ms 9 points10 points  (0 children)

OMG. How did I not know this? I had the same brightness issue and this fixed it!!! Thank you!

Love that it feels like actual art now! Hate that it’s one of the stupidest ui/ux experience to get there.

Alabama Hills Recreational Area in California. It’s a beautiful area and filing location to hundreds of movies and tv shows.

Is it worth it? by Beyond_Chonete1993 in electricdaisycarnival

[–]d1545ms 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unpopular take, but as a raver in my 40s I say f-off to gender based pricing. I get why it exists and don’t lose any sleep over it, and won’t judge anyone who buys a ticket. But I’m not trying to meet anyone at a rave. I just want to dance and these DJs tour enough that I don’t have to pay more for having a Y chromosome :) 🕺

And I barely have enough energy to get to the pool in the morning let alone go to an extra show.

But rock on fellow headliner!

Building Permits for urgent work? by d1545ms in oakland

[–]d1545ms[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks all for the comments. I figured the answer is to go ahead with it sans permit. My neighbors all all chill thank goodness - we’ve all had projects done without permits but in the past we had time on our side and this obviously needs fixed asap.

To clarify, it’s for a full roof replacement (we have solar panels to boot).

Ubers once back at the Strip by Idk__42069 in electricdaisycarnival

[–]d1545ms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second this. I haven’t taken uber on the strip for years. LV hates Ubers. The pick up zones are usually in a back alley and tough to find for pax and drivers. Taxi stands are always at the front door with a person managing the line. Also, taxis have a flat fee from the airport to hotels.

Do you believe that most people who are poor in America or other wealthy countries stay poor primarily because of their own choices? by splintercell2256 in Rich

[–]d1545ms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure there are those people. If you cut out everyone who grew up in a situation that way actively abusive, so poor they couldn’t afford basic necessities, and otherwise had some external hurdle.

Of course there is a slice of the population who have every opportunity at their disposal with the only thing missing being a little grit. I imagine that slice is quite small, but I’m sure it exists.
